Westward, Whoah! Home again.

 Got home shortly before 4PM today, those six hours of driving were quite the exercise in staying awake!

None of my usual "stay awake" techniques were working so I stopped more often than usual.  Still, I'm home, the VRRV is still running fine and the Sammy seems to be OK as well.

The whole trip was 4887 miles round trip, lots of lessons learned, not too many repairs on the Sammy, and Martha was still glad to see me back.  So I'm calling it good!

I camped with Martha for 44 days, 19 more days of camping by myself.  11 days as guest in friends' homes. 

So the trip was 74 days long, longer than my longest camping trip so far which was 4 days in NM and AZ this past winter.

Assuming an average of $3/gallon, that's close to $2100 in gas alone.  Yikes.  Basically $28/day for fuel.  Roughly $630 for camping fees for the trip.

Not cheap but not too bad overall, great experiences, meeting new friends, visiting with old friends, the sorting out of the Sammy, Yagi proving as reliable as ever and Uma the VRRV coming through with only one minor sensor issue.
