5/4/18 Homeward Bound - Long long day of driving, about 500 miles across Ohio, West Va and Pa. Made it home on Friday night around 9:30 PM.

So many amazing places in the United States. If you ever have the opportunity, drive across and spend the time. It is hard to imagine how big and diverse our country really is. Wendy and I only really saw and experienced a small part of what the U.S. has to offer.

Trip Stats:

• Miles driven with the truck and camper -13,545 miles (actual miles on the trip were greater. We had the luxury of our friends and kids driving their rental cars when they visited)
• Gallons of diesel burned 1,157
• Avg. gas mileage 11.7 miles per gal. (the 30 mph headwinds in the plain states took its toll on our gas mileage)
• Highest diesel price $4.10 per gal. in California (not surprised)
• We visited 48 National Parks and Monuments.
• Days traveling the United States - 3 months and 4 days
• States we camped in-14 in all;  Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,   California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio,
• Worst road traveled -  Indiana, hands down, has the worst roads; pot holes, uneven & rough             roads. If  you are planning to travel West avoid this State altogether especially RT 70 ! 

Thanks to all who have taken the time to look at the Great Adventure Blog. We hope that you enjoyed the pictures and the stories as much as we did. Glad to be home!
