This years summer vacation

[Jolly]

Glad it's been a good trip and you both enjoyed it.

As much as I love my wife, if we were in a car together for a week or more it would be on Cops.

Last update of this trip

View from an outlook into the Catskills.

New York City

Car return. I set the tripometer in San Francisco Airport. This is the return.

4651.8 miles.

The end.

[Mik]

That’s a lot of miles in a short time. Nice trip!

Safe journeys home.

[George K]

Very nice.

I would enjoy that.

Average about 350 miles a day, right? I imagine the "interstate" days were higher milage.

[bachophile]

Yes it was varied per day and plan. Longest day was 7 hours behind the wheel. Easiest was just 2 or 3. All depended on the plan for the day.

Cool vacation. Thanks again for the pictures and descriptions.

(I actually like driving distances. Maybe I was a truck driver in a previous life!)

Have a good trip back to your home.

Glad you completed the trip safely.
34.2 mpg ... was it a hybrid?

Nice ending to the trip. Thanks!

[Jolly]

That's seeing a lot of the country.

If you had to move to some place you visited during your trip, where would it be?

[bachophile]

@Axtremus nope. Chevy Malibu. Got it basically brand new with 2000 miles on it. Put it only 87 regular the whole trip.

@Jolly that’s a hard one. Saw a lot of beauty.

For me the big surprise was Iowa. Really gorgeous. Not drama. Just endless rolling fields.

But I still like the north east. New England.

Clearly a man of rare taste. Rhode Island: Gateway to America.

Incidentally, Mrs. Phibes has a friend she likes to visit in Iowa. She loves going there, both for the environment and the pace of life. Apparently, they're even friendlier than people from Massachusetts if such a thing is possible.

Probably a little more to do in New England than Iowa.

It’s the Pluto of states.
