Finally Home (trip stats)

We started this trip on 2 July and ended it on 8 Sept. 9 weeks. We stopped and made camp 30 times. 15 State Parks, 2 National Parks, and 2 Corps of Engineer campgrounds. There were 38 visits to a gas station. Prices ranged from $5.89 to $3.13. We took the MP into our mechanic today. I had 2 pages of write ups. We took a rock in the windshield in Idaho that left us with a 36" crack. We stopped at a campground in Washington that had bad power. It fried our surge Protector and screwed up the inverter. The # 1 slideout didn't work from day 1. The # 3 slideout quit about 3 weeks ago and the # 2 slideout was showing signs of failure for the last few days. Sounds like we have a slideout problem. Our holding tank dump hose for some unknown reason developed several leaks. Duct tape was somewhat effective, with the emphasis on Somewhat. There are a few more items that need attention and I'm hoping our guy can get things back in working order. The odometer went over 50,000 miles on this trip. From the bottom right corner of the country to the top left corner of the country and back took us 9,410 miles. The trip was frustrating, awesome, enlightening, and educational. Our meet up with the kids and Grandkids at Yellowstone was a highlight. I think everyone enjoyed that get together. I've been looking at all the pics we took and I'm already nostalgic. Davejennyjournal will be on vacation for awhile. This trip is in the can.
