Day 97: Back home!

Stop 62 (our final stop): Home

We had dreaded our final leg through Los Angeles. It didn't sound like much fun with a trailer. As it ended up, it was one of our faster trans-LA runs. Sweet.

We were home by noon and have worked our butts off all afternoon. Everything is out of the trailer and the trailer is bug free. Getting the truck clean will have to wait until the trailer returns to storage in a couple of days

Kristen has been busy cleaning everything that needs to be cleaned and we'll get it all back in the trailer tomorrow. Our CC&Rs will require that the trailer be out of the neighborhood by Thursday.

Final tally:

• 97 days on the road
• 62 stops
• 14,865 miles covered (12,323 pulling the trailer)
• 33 states visited (31 with trailer)
• Average MPG with trailer - 13.14
• Average MPG without trailer - 21.54
• Highest pass - 10,900 feet (between Mesa Verde, CO and Alamosa, CO)
• Steepest grade - That same pass. 8 miles before the pass, we were at 7,000 feet. 8 miles after the pass, we were back at 7000 feet.

That's it for this round of blogging. We'll be going out again soon. We're thinking of spending a couple of weeks on the beach somewhere in September and we want to spend a couple of months touring the West in the spring. I'll pick the blog back up when we go back out on the road.
