So as a final blog from my trip, I thought I would share with you some photos and final numbers. I know everyone likes that info.
First I will let you know that I went through a total of 16 states (not counting CA) and put 7980 miles on my pickup. That is a lot of traveling.
The states I went through and in order -
A few more tidbits of info -
-Used 845 gallons of gas
-Paid an average of $3.50 per gallon
-Averaged 9.5 mpg
-Met 19 dogs (at least)
-Had 0 flat tires
-Lost 1 trailer awning, 1 rear view mirror
-Packed way too many clothes
-Ate way too much
-Everyone I met up with along the way was absolutely FANTASTIC!!
-Saw some incredible scenery
-RV folk are really nice
- Gave out 30# of Rumiano Cheese
Have been getting asked what the favorite and least favorite parts of the trip were. Hard to answer, but I have to say that seeing old friends and meeting new ones had to be a highlight. A close second or a tie has to be having the opportunity to do a trip like this. Very rare, I think, that people have this kind of freedom with work and family obligations. So I am very fortunate in that regard. Thanks to my partner Rae Jean for holding down the fort while I was gone.
The worst part of the trip had to be losing the awning off the trailer. At the precise moment I figured out what had happened, I never wanted to be home so fast. Learned a little about myself right there.
So with that, the traveling portion of my blog is complete. Will probably continue with this blog to relay stories from my life, riding, or whatever. Enjoying relaying my antics to the interwebs!
Thank you so much for reading along the way......more to come so stay tuned.
