The Grand Adventure was “an adventure”

We’re back in SC (a little earlier than we planned), but thankful we’re back.


Mr. Charley & I have traveled over 16,000 miles on this “Grand Adventure” from SC to Alaska and back.


We used over 1,500 gallons of diesel fuel, averaging 10.6 mpg.


We crossed the U.S./Canada border numerous times.


We had numerous trials with the RV, battled bugs, road construction, chipped/broken windshields, smaller than average RV sites, strange fuel stations, and Lord knows what else.


We also saw so many new and wonderful sights, met some awesome people, made wonderful new friends and realized how truly blessed we are.


We both agree it wasn’t quite the trip we thought, the sights were great, but sometimes disappointing. But the adventure itself was something that we were blessed to be able to have.


It was a great ride, not sure if we’d do it again, but…….so thankful we got to go.
(I guess that's where the saying “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey” comes from).


Now it's time to go our separate ways & spend quality time with our babies.
 Next adventure is "wintering in Florida" for some fun, sun, and much needed relaxation.


Have a good one everybody, we're sure trying to.




RV Riding is picking out a place to go and finding out it may not be what you thought in the end, but so thankful you were able to go.
