Taking inventory

Day 92, Thursday, September 12
Well, the Indians were a little stingy last night at the casino. And, our “overnight” in the parking lot was uneventful.  The arrangement worked out very well.  We unloaded the motorhome this morning (it only took two trips!) and we got settled and will stay in one place for more than a couple of days…for the first time in 92 days!  The Lundcruiser got parked in a nice temporary home (storage facility) just south of Phoenix.
As we wrap up this adventure, we are taking inventory:
*Total RV miles dmileageriven = 10,114, in 217.7 hours!  Truck miles driven = 2,310
—that’s a whole lot of ground covered!


*We traveled through 13 states, 2 provinces and one territory in 2 countries.
*We saw more animals, glaciers, mountains and waterfalls than we could ever imagine.  There were breathtaking views, and amazing sights every single day of the trip.
*We took too many clothes!
*We took thousands of pictures, and now need to get them organized, printed and put them in albums.
*We made lifetime friends, (an unexpected bonus).
*We ate too much--my thighs look like the redwoods we saw in Oregon—we will be looking at an exercise program to get back in shape!
*We found out we could survive 92 days of “togetherness” in a 39 foot space, without a problem at all!
**And, we got to see our country in a way that we couldn’t even dream about.  It truly has been a trip of a lifetime, and one that we will remember forever.  We are still pinching ourselves, and saying, “Can you believe we really did it?”
This reinforces the idea of do it now---today not tomorrow—and, take the time to enjoy the beauty of living in a country so full of natural wonders!
Thanks for joining us on our Lundcruiser adventure--It’s been fun having each of you travel with us through the blog.
****It is only 624 days until our next big trip—we’ve signed up for a motorhome caravan to the Maritimes in 2015!!  Can’t wait.
