Trip Reflections

We were a bit sad to return from this trip sooner than planned.  Odd performance by the Chevy TrailBlazer made us uneasy.  Getting home seemed the prudent thing to do.

However ... we did get to experience many wonderful sights, do fun things, meet interesting people and finish our quest to visit all continental U.S. states.

Summary
   8,289 miles driven (13.9 mpg)
   6,738 miles towing
   16 states visited

Really Neat Places
   Yellowstone National Park
   Grand Teton Mountains
   Mt. St. Helens
   Crater Lake
   Shakespeare Festival (Ashland, OR)
   Tioga Pass (out of Lee Vining, CA)
   Yosemite National Park
   Giant Sequoia National Park
   Death Valley

Next Time
We've been "sampling" all around the country for the past 5 years.  We've pretty much decided to "take a closer look" at areas in future trips.  The southwest has the most appeal.
