Good weather continues to follow us. The only rainy dark day was the day we were in Crater Lake NP and of course that meant we did not get to see the lake with the sun shining on it. One day in the last 25--I will not complain.
The sights, the people, the national parks have all been spectacular so far. As someone who is concerned about the cost etc I even have to say I have been pleased with gas prices. We did see one station that was $4.29 but the most we have paid is $3.99 and with that we put in 4 gallons and in the next town it was $3.79. On our way out of camp today a fill up will cost $3.49. Times have changed when one talks about being pleased with that price of gas!!
After we see the last of the 7 CA national parks we do not have a plan. There is one in south AZ that we will take in but then we are not sure what route we will take as we head back to MN. Our plan is to arrive in St. Paul Monday, Sept 16. We will spend 3 days there and then head out to Madison, Chicago, South Bend and MI starting the 19. Have to see Aaron's counter top, and have to spend time with Elspeth Zoe for sure.
Sounds like we are missing the HOT weather for the summer in St. Paul.
Enough for now. I am thinking we will be without internet over the weekend as the national parks are good for that or electrical.
That's a lot of miles and you're not done yet! By the time you get to FL for the winter you'll want to sleep for a week. You must have "car legs"! I've been concerned that you'd run into some of those fires in CA. Hope not. I remember Dad had a picture of a tree that you could drive through. Probably the same one! All is well here, had a nice cool spell but don't want that early fall or cold winter so temps are up again. The flood waters have gone down and the roads are being repaired. I'm on this mountain so no flood but couldn't get to work until late one day. Joan is doing okay, still not working, docs orders. She bought a car so she's back on the road. She's been pretty sore and bruised after the wreck. Haven't talked to Dave lately. Have a good holiday weekend, more great sights as you head back up north and a safe trip home. Glad you're posting on the trip good to know you're doing well. Love, Helen
