Three weeks, yes it’s been that long since we arrived home after our 42 day cross-continent tour. A few friends have asked for some specifics about the trip and so we provide the following for your consideration.
The first question tends to be about where we stayed each night. Did we find suitable camping locations? So, here are the stats for that.
- 13 nights moochdocking (family laneways). Thank you all.
- 3 nights at Indianapolis Motor Speedway camping field (no services).
- 7 nights at Harvest Host locations
- 3 nights in Walmart parking lots
- 6 nights at KOA campgrounds (serviced).
- 3 nights at US state park (Fort Stevens)
- 2 nights at Canadian National Parks
- 4 nights at Ontario Provincial Parks
As you can see we mixed it up a bit and tried a variety of places. Favorites?
- Harvest Host: Shiloh Winery & Vineyard, Kansas. Quiet solitude on the plains.
- KOA: Central City, Colorado.
- Parks Canada: Jasper, Whistlers Campground, Alberta.
- Ontario Provincial Park: Macleod, Geraldton, Ontario.
- Family laneway: Yeah, we’re not picking a favorite as we love you all.
The next obvious question is about where exactly did we go? Here’s a map that shows you the route West from Ontario, across the US Midwest, up to British Columbia and the back across the Canadian prairies.
Lastly, given the current price of fuel, folks have asked how much fuel we used and what it cost. So, here it is all laid out in a table for you to review.
So there you have it, a few statistics about the trip. Hoping you find them interesting.
