Instead, I returned home from Detroit to MSP in order to get home on Sunday night. I hope I'm making sense.

edit: That one sounds a bit risky but it worked out fine.
Yea I try to avoid missing a leg at all costs, not only because I want the miles....but it can be risky. I've done it once before on a absurd run with 2 legs back to back and the 3rd leg like a month later in another country.
