We are anxious to return to Tarwathie and to sell the car. We find that owning a car is a big life style changer. We like our life style on board the boat, and the car would really spoil it.
Having said that, boy we really took advantage of the time we did own a car. The black line on the topographic map below shows where we have been. We went to 28 states and provinces. in 147 days on the road. We traveled about 7,000 miles. I'm not sure about that because I neglected to write down the milage when we started.
We had a great time camping but that's not the whole story. In the 147 days, we were guests in someone's home 50% of the time, we camped 40% of the time and we stayed in motels 10% of the time. Thank you all our gracious hosts.
When we did camp in our tent, 75% of the time we stayed for one night only. I think that reflects our nomadic instincts. Most travelers go to fewer destinations and stay for more nights on each stop compared to us.
Most of all, we've seen many beautiful things and beautiful places on this great country and continent where we live. Life on the water is beautiful, but it can never match the variety of things to see on land.
We took nearly 5000 pictures on these trips. Libby and I will enjoy them for years to come. I'd love to share them with you but 5000 is too many. I made an album of the 200 best pictures. You can see it it here. 200 is still too many for most of you. I promise, sometime soon I'll whittle it down to the 25 best of the best and post that.
