Finally home!

Completing the last 2,300 mile haul from Sedona to Virginia in 5 days got us home to the Chesapeake Bay after 120 beautiful days on the road, moving north to Canada mid summer and dropping down south to Arizona as temperatures dropped - mobility in the 60 to 70 degree isotherm! Camped out over 40 days inside some amazing National Parks including Crater Lake, Banff and Jasper, Northern Cascades, Yellowstone, Tetons, Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon, and State Parks in Oregon, Washington, Utah and Arizona. Visited fellow Airstreamers, cousins in Montana, family in Utah, wedding celebrations in the San Juan islands, and enjoyed meeting new friends along the way! Checked out wildlife along the way - elk, moose, grizzly and black bears (hiked with bear spray!), bison, wolves, mountain goats, long horn sheep, prong horned antelope, coyotes and eagles. Total journey of 10,700 miles and 30 campsites managed within our budget. Now for a month of truck and camper repairs, modifications and improvements before the next expedition plan that goes south to Florida and north to Alaska!
