2015 Summer Summary

Stats, Favs and Bummers

1.  90.  Total days of RV travel

2.  28.  Number of campsites.

3.  5380.  Number of miles we towed the Cougar - plus about 100 non-point-to-point miles for gas and grocery stops, missed turns and assorted screw ups.

4.  6/5.  Number of places/states where I played Pickleball.

5.  KOA Campground, Casper, WY.  Worst value campground; $54 for a gravel parking lot.  Sometimes KOA is the only game in town and we're grateful to find them.

6.  Terry and Lisa's home, Buena Vista, CO.  Best value 'campground' (free); thanks T and L!

7.  Call of the Yukon.  Worst DVD movie we watched; filmed in 1938, lousy script, acting, directing.  It was 1 of 8 movies in $5 set, a couple of which were okay, haven't watched all.

8.  Rain Man.  Best DVD movie we watched. Close 2nd: When Harry Met Sally.  Both were in another cheap 4-DVD set.  We'd seen them all before, old friends revisited.


National Park Service brochures we collected this summer.
We visited a couple other sites that didn't have brochures.

9.  Dinosaur National Monument.  Our favorite National Park Service (NPS) site.  Bought T-shirts.

10.  Great Sand Dunes National Park.  Least favorite NPS site; lousy weather, vicious biting bugs.

11.  Grand Junction, CO.  Favorite city due to paved, scenic bike trails; Pickleball; size; climate.

12.  5/1.  Projected/actual number of pounds I gained in 3 months of travel.

13.  Blue Corn Cafe and Brewery.  Santa Fe, NM.  Favorite brewpub, bought T-shirts.
