A lot of new rigs showing up. Great to see everyone out and about.

We are near the end of our trip. A little over a year. Wife is counting the days until we move back into our home. 15 days. Here is how our map started and now finished.

Left Hillsboro Oregon on May 1st 2016





As it looks today.




It has been a fun trip.

It looks like you had a great time and the videos are a good touch. Thats one thing that's nice now adays is you can go out and get a cheap $100 +/- camera (I personally use a Canon power shot Elph170IS) take a crap load of pics or videos download to the computer (I back them up to a SeaGate 2 TB external drive) and have a lifetime of memories.

I use my iPhone and a knock off Gopro and take footage from my A118-c dash cam for my videos. Wife takes all the pictures with her iPhone. So, we do have a ton of selfies!

What just a darn minute. You made all the "fly-over" states and missed camping Meccas like Minnesota. Wisconsin, and Tennessee? Who the heck planned that itinerary?

Lots of states filled in on that map - ours is filling up as well with Wisc, Minn, ND and Neb. planned this late summer. Surprised you don't have any New England states on your sojourn - there is still time. We are missing CT and RI. Unfortunately we will probably never make it to Alaska, Ca, OR or WA and unleess there is a bridge built, Hawaii

We plan 2 more trips. One to Alaska, that is the only state I have not been to.

And one one to the North East for the fall colors. My wife has never been there and she is a painter.

It will be a few years before those get taken, in the meantime, there is lots of life at home.

Made a wrong turn in Ohio and instead of going 70 across we took the toll road up 80 through chicago. Very nice rest areas on the turnpikes.... 20 dollar hookups overnight was awesome. Tolls were not so awesome. Even with an Ezpass. Chicago was about as bad as I was warned it would be. Worse than Atlanta for sure.

Here we are somewhere in Illinois, right before entering Chicago.
