Hi Guys, it’s me again, Millie.

“No, Millie, budge over, we are doing this one”.   –    “Squeak squeak squeak”

“Yes we are, it will be full of facts and figures and you will only have to ask us about the facts anyway, now budge over”.   –    “Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak”

“Well ok, but the last sentence only – right?”.   –    “Squeak”

What a performance that was, getting Millie to let go of the computer so we could do the last bit of this trips blog and we still had to promise her that she could do the last sentence  –  kids! who would have them?

We left Magician Lake, Michigan and our friends Mike and Gayle and set off on the 1100 mile trip south to where we had set off from.

“Squeak squeak”.   –    “Yes and Beau, we haven’t forgotten him”!

Once we left Mike and Gayle, we decided to head straight for our base in Florida, without any deviations, a trip of just over 1100 miles and we intended to do it in 4 days, getting us back in Florida by just after lunch time on the last day.

The first night we stopped at an RV Park in Columbus, Indiana and during the way down we hit some of the heaviest traffic of the whole journey, especially around Nashville and then again in Atlanta.

.

We stopped the second night in Nashville, Tennessee and went to a Country Music Concert in the Grand Old Oprey theatre – great show, just spoilt a bit by damned adverts during the show, because it was going out live on the radio and TV!!!

.

But it was a brilliant show nevertheless and we were glad we decided to do this route and make this particular night out.

.

The scenery on the journey down through Kentucky and Tennessee was stunning (again), with rolling, heavily wooded hills, lakes and rivers.

.  

The third night was spent at an RV Park in Macon, Georgia, before heading out and arriving in Florida just after lunchtime on Day 4  —  Made it! .

By the time we got back we had visited 20 states, 4 of them twice as we drove around, we have done 6231 miles in the RV and 3204 in the car in 61 days, that’s 9435 miles, an average of about 155 miles every day!

We have used 1377 gallons of petrol (Gas in US talk) which works out at about 6.85 miles per gallon!

No, you don’t want to know the cost!

But we have really enjoyed it and would recommend it, or a similar trip to anyone who would like to explore the mid-west of the USA.

Have we seen everything on the route of the trip?

Hell no, we have just scratched the surface of states that we visited in this huge country, we could have spent a month in each state at least and then probably not seen it all.

So now we have to start planning the next trip so that we can see some more, but knowing our hunger for seeing new places and things, no doubt it will be a different route entirely.

We will let you know in the next blog!

“Squeak”.   –    “No, not yet, don’t be impatient, we have nearly finished”

We thank you for reading about our RV journey, we hope that you got as much enjoyment out of reading it as we got out of writing it.

“Squeak”.   –    “Oh, go on then, you do the last sentence”

“But Millie, no one will understand it if it is all in squeak talk!”

“All my 4 legged friends will and Uncle Rusty, Uncle Steve, Uncle Mike, Auntie Jenny, Auntie Janice, Auntie Gayle, Auntie Sue, Uncle Ed, Auntie Eileen, Auntie Jen and Cousins Carly, Jessica, Sam, Josh, Louis, Polly will, as I have trained them all in squeak talk as well over the years. –  they can’t baby sit me without it!”

“Oh, ok”.   –    “Squeak”

Until the next time, your friend Millie x
