In the summer of 2011 we explored the US Pacific Northwest, mainly Oregon and Washington State but hitting Glacier, Yellowstone and Badlands National parks on the way back home.

Statistics
4 1/2 months or 140 days since we left home (May 10 – Sep 26). Together with last year that makes about 250 days we have stayed in the RV.
Stayed in 13 states, travelled through 4 more
37 campgrounds
9900 pictures saved (who know how many taken, at least double)
Distances
- 14000 km on the RV
- 12000 km on the CRV just in day trips. Wow.
- 320 km walking
Money
- $4000 in gas for the RV
- $1000 in gas for the CRV
- $4200 in campground fees or about $30 a day
- As we mostly do no cost stuff like hiking during the day we only spent about $400 on extras like the dune buggy’s and the Lake Chelan cruise.
- $80 for National Parks/Monuments annual pass (I think we got our money’s worth)
- $30 for Oregon state parks annual pass
- $30 for Washington state parks annual pass
- I didn’t calculate food because we would have had to buy that at home
- We also ate out about as much as when at home.
