We have been gone 3 months yesterday. Sometimes it seems like a long time, other times not at all. We have been to 12 states, visiting and sightseeing in 11. The only one we drove thru was Arkansas. We had a time frame so we couldn't stop, maybe another time. We have traveled 7828 miles. That is alot of diesel when you only get 9 miles to the gal. We paid the cheapest diesel in Memphis at $3.19 per gal. Our most expensive was in Medora, North Dakota at $3.99. We came to visit my 2 first cousins and their husbands. Sharon and Gary live in Plano, 25 miles east. Carla and Dan live in Southlake, 10 miles to the west. The Dallas/Fort Worth area is huge. Between those 2 cities there is almost 2 million people. The Metroplex is what they call all the surrounding cities. So close that you don't know what city unless you see a sign. The Metroplex area has 6.5 million people and we are right in the middle. We don't usually like to go to big cities, but nothing is really close. This is one of our favorite campgrounds. We were here in 1996. Expensive, but beautiful. The Metroplex has been in a drought for many years. They can only water their lawns twice a month

Filling in our 8th state on this trip that we had never been to. I doubt if we will ever get to the remaining 2 states, South Carolina and West Virginia. I can't figure out how we missed those states when we went all over the U.S. in 1996
