Wednesday, Aug. 21st - This morning we left our campground on Lake Allatoona and headed south for the last leg of our trip. Traffic was heavy as we neared Atlanta until we got to the I-285 bypass around the city. Then it was pretty much clear sailing the rest of the way. We arrived home at around 5:00 and it was good to be home. Quickly unloaded the perishables from the refrigerator, freezer and pantry and a few other things that we would need that night. Then drove the RV over to the lot where we store it. Tomorrow, we will bring it back and start the process of unloading, doing lots of laundry and cleaning up the rig for storage. Pat is scheduled for her second knee replacement surgery in September, so it will be a while before we can hit the road again.
It was a great trip and I hope you have enjoyed our blog and photos. Thought you might like to know some of the statistics of the trip. We left on June 20th and returned on August 23rd, a total of 65 days. We drove the RV a total of 6,302 miles and used 801 gallons of gasoline. Our RV averaged 7.92 miles per gallon and gasoline prices ranged from $2.059/gallon (Tennessee) to $3.694/gallon (Newfoundland). In addition, we drove cars we had rented 2,099 miles. We took 4 car ferry rides ranging in length from 1 hr. 15 min. to 16 hours, and 4 passenger ferry rides that were only 15 minutes long. We drove through 18 US States and 6 Canadian Provinces. I took 2,348 photos with my Nikon DSLR plus 278 photos with my iPhone, it's a good thing digital photos are free as I take lots of photos and then throw out most of them.
We covered a lot of territory and saw a lot of sights on this trip and the one we took last summer, but we've decided that for future trips we will cover fewer places but stay longer at each one. Both on this trip and last year's it seemed we never had enough time to visit all of the sights we wanted to see at our stops.
So, until next time, take care and God bless.
