Today was the long drive back. It was snowing heavily again so the first 50 miles or so was rather tense but it mostly cleared up after that, eventually turning in to rain.
We stopped at the “Machine Shed” in Rockford for lunch, then made it home by 5 PM for a low key and (for me at least), sore evening. Mom said her thighs were sore but my entire legs were and especially my calves, which hovered on the edge of cramping until the next morning.
