Chapter 8 1May2017
The End has come to our 50th Anniversary Trip and we are home. We arrived home early in April and spent the next few days unloading the trailer and cleaning it. We have a couple of maintenance issues like a window leaking, only when it rains, and the TV antenna wire got broken off at the roof level and I couldn't fix it, so it's presently an in-patient at the RV garage.
We didn't linger long on the way home, stopped to see relatives and friends in Texas and met friends from Pa. on the road. For all our friends out there we missed, we'll try to get together another year. We managed to stay between storms or stayed an additional day at some campgrounds so the bad weather would pass.
This has been a trip of a lifetime and we have been rewarded in seeing so many beautiful places and having so much fun. I highly recommend a similar type of activity for any special event in your life. The United States is a wonderful country. We will always remember this, our 50th Anniversary Trip, and I hope you have enjoyed the ride too. We were gone a little over 6 months and traveled almost 16,000 miles through 25 states. We had no travel disasters and excellent health for the entire time. I am sure someone was watching over us and helped us make the right decisions.
I close with a final bird picture. It's a rare, thought to be extinct, ivory billed woodpecker that we watched for quite a while in a wildlife refuge in northern Mississippi.
Enjoy the summer. Steve
