Home

OK, here are some stats from the trip. Jenny keeps a journal and she can pull these numbers out of it pretty easily. We traveled 5,649 miles and we're out for 45 days. You might remember we left a few days late because of my medical issue. We filled up 24 times. There was one leg somewhere out there that there were not any gas stations. We got down to 1/8th of a tank and I elected not to let that happen again so at less than half a tank we started looking and didn't pass a fill-up opportunity. We visited 4 National Parks, 2 National Monuments and 13 State Parks. We stopped at 8 commercial campgrounds, 3 of those were KOAs. We got 1 flat tire and one cracked windshield (the Forrester). The link-up with the kids and Grandkids at Zion was the highlight. Jenny and I both decided that we definitely won't have to hike the Virgin River narrows again. This MP developed a few issues on this trip that we need to address. Our next outing will be Thanksgiving. We have booked the Cidar House again. Davejennyjournal is taking a break. Signing off.

South Point KOA, Yemassee SC

Didn't post anything yesterday. OOPS! We stayed with Pat and Steve. Paula dropped by so we saw everyone. Steve left early this morning to kill some clay pigeons. We stopped here, 30 miles from home, to get the MP ready for storage. My impending Gall Bladder removal is coming up and I need a couple tests and a visit with the surgeon. So I'm having mixed emotions about the end of this trip. We'll get together some stats tomorrow.

Newport Tennessee KOA

Absolutely nothing to blog about today. There was a car fire that caused a slow down and on the other side there was a parking lot that had to be 5 miles long. We are at Pat's tomorrow. I looked back through the pics and found this one.
