LEWIS (MOTOR MIKE) AND CLARK'S (JACK) ADVENTURE....DAY #8...290 MILES...(2402 MILES TOTAL)

THIS WAS THE BIG DAY, AND IT COULDN'T HAVE TURNED OUT BETTER. CLARK AND I ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL ABOUT 8:45, ACTUALLY BEATING THE HELP THERE.

THE WEATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, AND WE HAD A TOTAL OF 36 THUMPERS, WITH 39 TOTAL PRESENT. THE FOOD WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD AN A WONDERFUL COOK. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE AGAIN, AND I THINK EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE EVENT.

NOW, ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT CLARK. SOMEONE ENTICED TWO OF THE MEMBERS TO VOTE ON MY BIKE IN THE "RAT CLASS". CLARK'S NOT ADMITTING TO IT, BUT I THINK HE'S THE GUILTY PARTY. HIS TIME IS COMING, AND IT MAY BE SOON.

TOMORROW WE START OUR LONG TREK HOME. WE'RE APPROXIMATELY 1300 MILES FROM THUMPERVILLE, AND I'M HOPING TO ARRIVE HOME MONDAY EVENING.

I'LL CHECK IN TOMORROW NIGHT IF I HAVE INTERNET, AND LET YOU KNOW HOW FAR I GOT.
