Day 6- The Ride Home.
Leaving our Inn on the Hill...
Enjoying the ride thru the hills out of Townsend.
A different kind of Horsepower!
We're getting a few sprinkles as we ride a ways with some fellow travelers.
Mary in the mirror as we do our short bit on the interstate. Still getting 38.2 mpg for this tank.
As we enter Tennessee, the sprinkles turn into a steady rain....
...so we pulled into Big Daddy's Fireworks and filled up the tank and put on our rain suits.
Mary in the mirror as we cruise down the last part of the interstate at 70 mph in the rain.
In Alabama now, no rain, and very little traffic.
It is a bit warm, so I've opened up my rain suit and turned into the Michelin Man. lol
Conclusion in next post.

Last post of the Larry Weaver Memorial Weekend in the Smokys.
Ride on Larry!
Here's why we left our rain suits on...
Mary with the camera tucked in behind the fairing...
...we rode in and out of the rain all thru Alabama.
A look off to the side.
Back home in Mississippi....
...getting only a few sprinkles now and then. Cruising the 72 at 70 mph.
We stopped in Corinth at the Veterans Cemetery...
...to pay respects to Mary's dad. He served in the Army, Navy & Marine Corps. Was still carrying shrapnel in his leg when we lost him almost a year ago.
Last year, while we were on our "40 Days Following the Front Wheel" ride, Mary had to fly home a few days early to be with him the few days before he passed.

From Corinth it is a hop, skip and a jump home, well, about 70 miles.
First thing we did when we got home was to check on this mama chicken and her chick that had hatched the day before we left out.
Hope you enjoyed following along.
