Kit and Carol on the Road

We were on the road for 77 days and traveled 7574 miles.  That averages out to 98.3 miles a day except that we only traveled place to place on 57 days which brings the average to 132 miles.  Our longest day was yesterday--367 miles from Sweet Home to Guemes.  Our two shortest days were just 29 miles.  Our diesel mileage averaged between 15 and 20 depending on conditions.  The average cost of diesel was $2.22.  The most expensive was was $2.65 on Marco Island FL and the cheapest was $1.89 in Gila Bend AZ.  All of the diesel was far cheaper than last year.  The average price we payed for an RV park/ campground was $22.73.  That includes 7 free nights.  The most expensive place was $60.50 for a Florida RV park right on the waterfront.  I figure the total we put out for RV parks was considerably less than it will cost for one week of hotel in New York City.  Of the parks we stayed in, 21 were private RV parks, and 28 were public campgrounds.  Our vote for the best state park system in Lousiana where they not only have wonderful state parks with water and electric hook ups but if you are over 62 you only pay half price.  ($8)
