We made it home from Lexington, KY, on July 4, about 6 pm.
Here are some of the statistical details.
51 days, 50 nights
33 nights camping
11 nights in a motel
6 nights at a friend's house
mileage -- automobile 8,433
camper 5,353
states -- 15 (VA, TN, ARK, OK, TX, NM, AZ, UT, CO, KS, MO, IL, IN, WV, KY)
Two oil and filter changes; new set of car tires
Only two problems: (1) thrown tire tread from truck in TX hit and bent the left support for the step into the camper, making it useless. Fixed it at our Santa Fe campsite's workshop with the help of the camp's maintenance man. (2) the extreme amount of dust on the rough unpaved road into Chaco Canyon eventually caused the pilots on the frig and the heater to be reluctant responders, at best. The mobile RV repair man in Cortez, CO just outside Mesa Verde (where we stayed with the Esenwein's at their beautiful adobe home right across from the park) fixed the problem.
Aliner sightings: Memphis campground; Chaco Canyon campground; Million-dollar highway pass between Ouray and Silverton, CO, but it turned toward Durango while we turned toward Silverton; Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park campground; and Garden of the Gods campground in Colorado Springs.
