Winter Excursion 3, Day 186

We left Lackawanna SP this morning around 0830 for the short drive home (220 miles). Lackawanna SP is OK but we will not be staying there again. It is an old SP and not set up for larger campers. Also, the staff is not the friendliest we've met on our travels.
This year (unlike the last two) we came home to no snow! Although there was one little spot on RT 177 (Tug Hill) where we saw one tiny patch of snow still left from the plows. For the most part it looked like this.
Welcome to Lewis County!
All is well at the house. We have some cleaning up to do and a small problem with the septic and gray tanks that will be fixed tomorrow.
So here are the stats for this years trip.
We stayed at 29 different campgrounds.
We drove a total of 13639.4 miles.
We put a bunch more miles on this camper and the total is now 16281.2 (in two years)!
Average MPG was 10.4 for the whole trip (towing and when not). So we used 1311 gals of gas, at $2.50/gal we spent $3213 on gas!
Here's a pic of our route this year.
It's been a wonderful winter trip and we will do it again next year.

Winter Excursion 3, Day 185

We visited Steamtown National Historic Site this morning. It is in downtown Scranton, PA. Lots of old trains and the history that goes with the railroads starting way back in the 1800s. And yep, we got another stamp in the passport.

The museum is built in the old roundhouse. You walk around in the roundhouse and check out all the displays and history.

If you ever get the chance stop in and see it.
Back at camp we relaxed and packed up in the afternoon. Tonight is our last night for this trip. We will be home tomorrow. We are going to miss the "road"!

Winter Excursion 3, Day 184

We ran a few errands this morning and then hung out at camp.
Jeff, Simone, and Benjamin came over for burgers and smores around 1700. It was good to see them again and we all had a good time sharing stories and pictures.
Benjamin is a real cutie!
Here's one of Jeff. He is looking good.
A little TV then off to bed for us. Only two more nights and then we are home.
