On this trip, we frequently chose to drive fewer miles per day than usual. That was good in that no single day was a hard driving day. But it was bad in that we drove more days than we spent staying put, contributing to a perception that we were always driving. Out of a 25 day trip, we spent 15 days driving, at least in part, and only 10 days staying put, in which we slept in the same location where we woke up.
Our rig performed very well. We got along on a long trip in close quarters. The cat was happy.
What did we learn? That we tend to drive too much. We would be happier if we stayed put in nice places, like Brazos Bend State Park.
Statistics: The originally planned trip distance, from Mapquest, was around 2840 miles. Adding a stop in Sun City West Arizona, the overall distance, taken from Mapquest, was 3730 miles. The actual mileage driven, including driving around towns, etc., was 4500 miles.
This will be our last Blog for a while, until we are on the road again.
