Well, we made it home in one piece and we have our rig in storage a few miles from our home. Our last post had us in Ogden, UT where we spent the night. From there, we drove to Boise, ID and stopped at Twin Falls, along the way. If you are ever in this area, it is worth the diversion. The gorge at Twin Falls is awesome and indescribeable. You don't know the gorge is there and then Wham!, it is right in front of you.
The next day, we stopped in Baker City, OR at the Oregon Trail Intrepretative Center. Another awesome place that would take a whole day to see everything. This is A double Wow!Wow!. The view of the trail from the center is breathtaking and the museum is just awesome. This is one place to go out of your way for. We spent a few hours there and will definitely be back to spend much more time. We then drove to Ellensburg, WA so that we we could into Port Ludlow reasonably early the next day.
October 13th--Arrived home around noon and spent the afternoon cleaning and putting more "stuff" into the coach.
Post Travel Thoughts: Well, having had a boat made this new experience an easier one and certainly less stresssful. For one thing, the motorhome has brakes! The boat did not. That meant that it stayed where you left it, unlike a boat that can go with the current and the winds at the time.
While some would not like the mileage of the motorhome (6 mpg) it was twice that of the boat!! so we, again, were pretty happy. Here are some interesting comparisons:
BOAT MOTORHOME
Fuel Capcity 700 gallons or about $2,000 100 gallons or about $300
Range on Full Tank 1800 Miles 600 Miles
Ave travel in one day 25 to 30 miles 300 to 500
Well, we do have a list of things to change or fix just as we would have for the boat. That part is the same.
Thats about it for now! Thanks for following our trip!!

And what about adding some more pics? No offence, text is really great. But according to the scientists humans acquire info much more effective when there are certain useful pictures.
