This was a quick trip north. No sightseeing. Just a few days with friends and family.
By the numbers:
- 7 days, 6 nights in 3 hops, 1383 route miles (461 miles per hop)
- 40 extra miles
- 45.2 gallons of fuel (31.5 miles per gallon)
- Total fuel cost: $144.65 ($3.20 per gallon)
- No tolls
- No hotels
Highlights:
- Seeing our friends John and Deb in Brooksville FL shortly after their return from TX.
- Seeing Jett’s sons, Devin and Josh, and their families.
- Spending time with Devin and Mary’s neighbors, Angie and Nassar. Very interesting people.
Lowlights:
- The LONG trip up I-95. This route is never fun and there was a lot of construction and one serious accident near Savannah GA that necessitated a short detour.
- The high gas prices (thanks to the idiotic Iran war).
Planned and actual routes:
The greatest deviations from the plan occurred north of Brooksville FL where we didn’t get on ether I-75 or I-10 and north of Dumfries VA where we took a westerly route up US 15.
