Okay I made it to the motel and am checked in. The weather started out great and clear sailing through South Carolina, North Carolina, and all of Virginia. However when I hit West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania it was a different story.
I basically had to swim the last three states. It was bad. I think it was raining sideways and if there were any tornados, you couldn’t see them because of the low visibility. It was IFR flying only and I pulled back the throttle and stayed about 100 feet off the bumper and in the wake of a big eighteen-wheeler. He had more lights glowing than a Christmas tree and that was the only thing that let me see him. I rode in his tire groves to keep from hydroplaning off the road. Couple of times I got too far back and lost the trail. As long as I stayed about 100 feet back it was all right. I followed him for about 75 miles and think I only blinked twice, boy are my eyes dried out (LOL).
I’m not sure why I washed my car yesterday. It looks like I finished second in a mud bogging contest. Anyway, the motel’s great and I’m off to their evening buffet in a few minutes. See you guys later.
