LINDA AND STUART AT NO FIXED ADDRESS

Linda and Stuart retired from the BC Forest Service at the end of June 2009. They decided to sell their home in Kamloops, buy a new 38ft Bighorn 5th wheel and a Dodge diesel 3500 and go on the road with No Fixed Address.

END OF A CHAPTER

June 16/10

Well, our long distance travelling days are over for now and we are going to stay here in Grand Forks for a while. We checked out a few other RV locations in southern BC but so many of them are either too expensive, fully booked for July and August, or just not very attractive. We don’t enjoy being crammed into small spaces with lots of people, kids and dogs around us. That might sound a bit fussy, but everyone has their preferences and the freedom to choose what they do.

We thought it would be nice to provide a few stats on our trip for those of you who like numbers. We were on the road in the US for 100 days from March 2 to June 9 and travelled through 10 states—Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Montana. We drove a total of 14,633 km on the trip, with 9,700 km of that, towing the trailer and consumed 3043 litres of diesel. We stayed in 28 different RV parks at an average cost of $30 CDN per night.

Here is a map of the return leg of our journey back to BC.




So you might ask, what’s next for us? Well, check back in a few days and we’ll let you know.
