First, the drive home went as planned. We always watch the weather carefully and decided to come home a little early to take advantage of the beautiful warm, 80oF weather for the rain free drive home.
We overnighted at Wal-Mart’s in Columbia, SC and S. Parkersburg, WV, and were home by 10:30 AM on Friday. We had warm weather to unpack when we got home. We were totally unpacked by Friday night.

As you can see, we clean up well.
It was great trip, we stayed in beautiful campgrounds with lots to see and do. It was much different than our Mexico trips and I’m sure it was less expense.

Our Trip by the Numbers
The total trip duration was 121 days but we were home for the holidays for 17 days.
We drove 3700 miles, spending $725 for gas, averaging about 9.2 mpg.
Considering the days at home, friend days and Wal-Mart nights as zero camp cost our average camp cost was only $15/night.
We paid as high as $39/night at the only private campground on Jekyll Island.
We paid as low as $8/night at Ocean Pond Campground with no electric hookups.
We canoed on 8 different rivers for a total of about 140 miles.
We biked a total of over 250 miles.

Happy and productive ending to a great trip!
