HOME AT LAST

May 23, 2017

We arrived home on Thursday May 11th.  I think I could live full time in an RV but Denny isn't ready for that. Six months is  enough for him.

Here is a synopsis of our trip:

 Left Nov 24, 2016

Returned May 11, 2017

Gone 5.5 months

Stayed at 13 campgrounds that we had been at before

Stayed at 5 new campgrounds that we had never been to

Spent $3039.89 on campgrounds

Spent $1353.72 on diesel

Because we have a large 57 gal tank, we only had to  stop 16 times for diesel 

Our most expensive diesel was $2.93 in Bakersfield, CA

Our cheapest diesel was $2.36 in Yuma, AZ

Drove 7162 miles

We really enjoyed our trip this year. We stayed in a couple of areas we had never been to:

Yuma, AZ

Surprise, AZ 

Bullhead City, AZ

The first 3 months of our trip were  colder than usual.  We went thru a lot more propane than we  ever have. The  last 3 months were hotter than normal.  The weather went from winter to summer, with no spring in between.  The weather was either below or above normal temperatures. The last  couple of months we were in the 90's.  The last few weeks, the weather was 95 to 105 degrees. A tad hot!!. The day we got home it was 52 degrees,  quite an extreme change for us.  We have been cold ever since we got home, but it is finally starting to warm up. 

Since we have been doing this for several years, it is always nice to see new places. Next year, we have plans to also go to an area we have never been to, Parhump, NV.  It is about 60 miles west of Las Vegas

Hope you have all enjoyed reading my blog as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Til next year...........
