2006 Travels

We started the year in Fort Myers, FL and finished in Hesperia, CA.  We drove over twice as far as in 2005, 19,469 miles.  This was because we drove all the way to Alaska and then needed to go to Indiana and Texas in fall before heading to California.   We drove the CRV 16,332 miles, slightly less than in 2005.   We camped at 121 campsites, 84 of them for the first time.  We added Yukon and Alaska to the states and provinces we have camped in.  We do not expect to put that many miles on any other year.
