What a phenomenal trip! It was incredible to see the country in an RV. From the changing landscapes to the different people along the way, this country is truly amazing.
We did so many things along the way, and there are still so many things yet to be done out there. We could take this trip 10 different times and not repeat one thing. We did not encounter one place that we didn’t like. This kind of trip really opens your eyes to endless possibilities and broadens your perspective on life.
We ended up visiting 32 states in 33 days!
We saw many places we absolutely loved and could see ourselves relocating to, but at the end of the day, it’s the people that make the place. Most of our closest friends and family live in California, so this is home.
Things we’ve learned along the way:
1. We’re now experts at setting up and breaking down camp.
2. Shower flip-flops are a MUST. Some campgrounds are very clean and some are nasty. Either way, you need your shower shoes.
3. It takes a lot longer than you think it will take to get anywhere.
4. Getting off the highway and filling up for gas takes at least 20 minutes.
5. Bare bones looking RV Parks have better internet service than the nicer looking ones.
6. Traveling far first thing in the morning is easier to tolerate than driving after visiting a place.
7. Trail Mix is the best car snack ever!
8. Jersey Mike’s Subs rivals Mr. Pickles.
9. Scott’s daily music playlist for each new location was really fun to listen to.
10. We love traveling in and RV, and will probably buy one someday!
And as promised, here is the ranking of top 8 worst roads in America:
1. New Mexico
2. Louisiana
3. New York
4. Arizona
5. Nevada
6. California
7. Kansas
8. Texas
**Note: Some of the worst state roads are actually under construction to make them better. All except California, of course!
And since I've been writing like a newspaper writer with very few edits, it's now time to proofread this book for publishing! Or not......
