2011 - Southeast


The Plan

We travel to the southeast this year. This is our 4th "long" trip.  There will be stops in Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey and Maryland.

Trip Summary

We left on May 3rd and returned June 12th.

This trip had a different “feel” than our three previous.  It was earlier in the year (May-Jun vs. Sep-Nov), in more populous areas, and involved more stops to visit friends and relatives.  We got to see places we’ve only heard about and met many nice people.

We’ve now been to the NW-most, SW-most and southern-most points in the continental US.  The NE point must be next. 
  • 6,198 miles driven (13.9 mpg)
  • 4,869 miles towing the trailer
  • 17 states
Preparations - pretty simple

  • Trailblazer - oil change and filter
  • Trailer - wash
  • Trailer - check and lube wheel bearings
Things Fixed – pretty simple
  • Trailer - replaced a few internal rivets
