Last Travel Day...now off to San Fran! E

We have about 200 miles to go on our trip. We are abbreviating it by about two days as we had a small wrinkle in our moving plans develop on Friday. I'll have more in a minute on that.

We spent the night in Medford, Oregon last night. We unanimously vote Oregon as the most scenic and pretty of the states we have driven through. The mountains and the trees combine in great ways unseen in other states. It is really beautiful here. We also agreed that Oregon has the newest and smoothest of the roads we have traveled.

Here are some totally non-important stats...

Miles traveled: About 4,450 in 18 days
Miles Pepper spent under the passenger cab seat: 4,449
$$$ spent on gas: About $1,800
Slim Jim's consumed: (Biggie's count as two) 60
Bottle's of Bud Light Consumed: 120-ish (Give or take 10)
Miles I ran while on trip: 120
People who care about that: 0
Times any of the 22 Disposable Cameras were used: 0
Cost of KOAs: $580 or so
Best tourist attraction: Crazy Horse Monument
Worst Tourist attraction: Custer, SD


A great time was had by all. We all highly recommend getting out to see the country in this fashion. It may not be the only way to see the US but it may be one of the best ways. We all agreed that we would do it again.

So...what's next? Most of you know that we are moving to San Francisco. Our condo in SF is officially ours and we are going to be moving this week. We had not anticipated that Mayflower would not be able to guarantee a date of arrival, so we are UHauling our stuff down ourselves. Movers will pack it and unpack it for us. This is not a big deal really. The UHaul is basically the same as what we have living in the last three weeks....except it has no windows.

What of the blog?

Well, Mr. Wendell and Pepper are probably going to have some adventures in San Francisco that they might want to talk about...if anyone is interested in reading.

Thanks for reading about our trip. We have not told Pep or Wendell yet about the move..I am sure there will be some commentary once we have that "talk".
