14,644 miles - June 18 through November 6, 2012

30th ANNIVERSARY
TRIP SUMMARY
 
Russ has done a fantastic job of tallying our statistics.
Of the 14,644 miles driven between June 18th
 and our arrival home on November, 6th,
 9,111 were towing miles.
 
Our journey home from Southern Oaks RV Resort,
after putting the 5th Wheel in storage,
 until January, was 1,465 miles.
Interesting that it was one-tenth of our journey.
 
In our minds we had split the trip into five segments.
The First being from home to the West Coast.
The Second being the Coast of California.
The Third being  the Fantasy RV Tours component.
The Fourth being the distance from Grand Canyon to Florida,
and the Final leg being from Southern Oaks to Home.

When folks now ask us which of the twenty five National Parks
we visited were our individual favorite,
Russ' reply is Mount Rushmore.

We went to Mount Rushmore on June 28th,
 and then returned on July 3rd.
Check out our posts for those two days for more
photos and commentary.

Mine has to be Yellowstone
because of the prolific wildlife,
wildflowers and the geological wonders.
In one day, we saw:
 seven Elk wading in a stream,
a Kildeer bird with her four chicks,
Buffalo blocking traffic and in a field,
a Moose in a stream at twilight,
and a male Elk with a huge rack.

Add to the above Old Faithful,
and Mammoth Springs, and the beautiful
scene referred to as the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
