We left Washington (Vancouver, WA) on October 12, 2022, and returned to Washington (Crescent Bar RV Park) on May 30, 2023. We were traveling the US for 230 days, with the intent to complete our USA travel sticker map by spending at least one night in our RV in each state.
We traveled in 35 states, 21 were new to us states and completes our travel map. The lower 48 completed!
On this trip, we set up our RV camp 70 times. Our average length of stay was 3.29 days per stop. We spent $1,627.91 for campground fees. That comes out to $7.08 per night. Thank goodness for our Thousand Trails membership, Elks, and boondocking.
We towed the RV 13,447 miles
We used our TSD card for our many of our diesel purchases. Washington state had the highest price for diesel (we did not go through California) before we left and when we got back.
We did spend $6,442.85 for diesel for the whole trip, with and without towing. Our average was 11.5 mpg.
We had a great time and saw & visited lots of our bucket list items and visited many of our friends. Of course, you can't see it all in one trip, but we gave it a try.
We are just finishing up our stay at Crescent Bar. We have been here for 10 days and a week of that, we had our granddaughter Ally stay with us.
Ally and her sister Jessi.
It is good to be back.
We have gotten ourselves pre-qualified to purchase a house and are in the searching process. It will be somewhere in eastern Washington.
I have cancelled the auto-renew on several of our RV clubs and memberships, like Harvest Host, Passport America, RPI, Escapees, Elks, RV Trip Wizard, ect.
Kinda sad, but it is time to settle down. It has been quite an experience!
Since we sold our house in Washington back in 2012, these are the RVs we have had.
Wow!
The Fergs out .......
I guess we won't be seeing you at a campground anymore. I understand. One bit of advice, buy a house that you can maintain and live in while not being able to do as much physically as when you were younger, We have seen many try to maintain a lot of house, a lot of land, and live far from medical and public transport.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best on this new phase in your life. Eastern WA is a great place in the summer, we're hoping to be back up there the summer of 2024 for a visit so let us know when you find a place. Will you keep RVing on a part-time basis or are you just done with the RV life at this point?
