Trip Statistics

After the Enchanted Highway we drove hard to get back home. Heading home after a two month trip was a let down but we had to go back to work. A year later all I can say is, it was the trip of our lifetime. We have no regrets and I can't wait until we can do it again.
What I am reading on blogs this year gas is around $1.10 per gallon more expensive which would add $1700 in fuel cost to my averages. In October Orion died, we are really glad he got to experience this trip with us. For these two reasons we are glad we went when we did. If you want to make this trip and have a chance, don't put it off...GO! Life is uncertain and short.
