We made it!

We left here on May 30th. That's 68 days on the road. Here are the states we visited: SC,NC,TN,AR,OK,NM,AZ,CO,UT,TX,MS,AL,GA,LA, & FL. We visited 15 state parks and 3 national parks. We drove 6964 miles and filled up 30 times. Gas prices ranged from $2.48 to $3.49. I had zero flat tires on my bike. Can't say that about the old girl. She has 6 brand spankin new tires. The house is in great shape. The yard is a little overgrown. My pepper plants were apparently a big hit with the neighbors. No one seemed to be interested in the habaneros or Tabasco peppers. davejennyjournal will be going dark for awhile. If something blogworthy should occur davejennyjournal might be awakened. And that's the way it is on Aug. 6th 2018.

Crooked River SP Georgia

We have stayed here several times, both coming and going. It's right across the St. Mary's river, which is the Florida/Georgia border. We actually took exit #1 on the Georgia side to get to the park. I rode my bike on the trails and they were all flooded. I wore my river shoes so I wasn't worried about getting my feet wet but I'm not sure if my bike appreciated being treated like a swamp buggy. We don't have to rush tomorrow because we are only 3 hours from home. I'll close out our summer trip with some stats on tomorrow's post.

Blackwater River SP Florida

We drove through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and ended up here. The river flows through the park and the water is black. The sand on the banks of the river is white. We are pretty close to Pensacola and Ft. Walton beach and they have white sand beaches. We have a site reserved tomorrow at Crooked River SP in Georgia which is about 3 hours from home.

Lafayette LA

We drove 412 miles today. We stopped at the KOA. As we drove in it looked very familiar. Turns out this is the 3rd time we've spent a night here. It is obviously forgettable because that's what we did. Tomorrow we should be in Florida and Georgia on Sunday. The pic was taken during a hike in Capital Reef NP
