2013 Big Truck across the Southeast, Trip Summary

HOME!!!! We made it, and again with no significant issues, and all of us safe and sound. As has become our custom, I'll post some nerdy stats and a quick wrapup.

Total miles:          3,504
Big Truck miles:   2,870
Jeep solo miles:       634

Avg gas price:      $3.48/gal
Avg mileage:          7.67mpg

State Parks - 3 (no idea of running total)

RV parks/campgrounds - 3 (don't care about running total)

Microbreweries/Distilleries - 6 (this will keep growing)

Incidents - 2*

* Each Big Truck mirror now has 1 minor battle scar. One from the entrance booth to the Wright Brothers National Memorial, and one from a parking sign on Mahantongo Ave outside the Yuengling Brewery.

Debilitating sunburns - 1 (this will continue)

Mechanical issues - 0. Again, very fortunate here, so we'll keep the vigilance on the preparation routine.



Overall it was a fantastic experience, a great mixture of parks, nature, cool cities,friends, places like the Tennessee Aquarium, amazing scenery, and all of it done as a family and on our own schedule.

Attached is a summary of our destinations, I'm sure we've missed a couple, but these are the main ones.

No cheesy final statement, other than a big thank you to our friends and family for help (thanks again Takas family for taking care of Reggie!), support, recommendations, ideas, and most of all thoughts & prayers while we're on the road.  We'll leave with one final picture, and next year we hope to head toward the Pacific Northwest. Carry on.
