we were on the road for 112 days and between the motorhome,and the tow car we covered 12,699.5 miles, 9720.5 in the coach, and 2979 in the tow car.

1 CCC Newsletter # Did you miss me?? My wife and I decided to take a little trip, packed up the motorhome and crossed the Mississip... saw great sights and made many a friend and after a hundred & twelve days the trip came to an end. Guess that sums it up.we were on the road for 112 days and between the motorhome,and the tow car we covered 12,699.5 miles, in the coach, and 2979 in the tow car. Most of that time we did not have wifi as we prefer state parks and dry camping to the fancy RV Resorts. As a result, we did very little , and no web updates. My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused to anyone. But I'm back now, and trying to de-compress, get caught up on yard work, bills, the website and a host of other things I need to do. So here we go, Car Shows! Army Corps of Engineers campsite, Land Between the Lakes, KY.
