We left the Virginia/Baltimore area today. Heading home to Michigan.
Driving through the northwestern part of Maryland. This is a beautiful area of rolling hills, little population and limited traffic. We are loving it after spending five days in the congested east coast! This area takes you through the Allegheny Mt's.....up and down, up and down. It is a very narrow piece of Maryland. Traveling on I-68 if you reach your hands out on both sides of the car, one hand could touch Pennsylvania to the north and the other hand could touch West Virginia to the south =).

Our ten-and-a-half month "Living the Dream Traveling Journey" appears to be coming to an end. When we are done, we will have visited 42 states and 3 Canadian Provinces; put over 40,000 miles on the truck; replaced or repaired 7 tires; lost one hub cab; needed new brakes; lost our crapper hose on the highway; bent the stairs when cutting the ditch to sharp; and so much more!

The end does come with some sadness. Waking up in a new city or state every few days is unexplainable how this experience has been! The USA is a beautiful, diverse country. We've seen everything from mountains to deserts, oceans to craters, glaciers to canyons, farmland to busy city high rises and sometimes, vast amounts of nothingness. And....we've seen it all in different kinds of weather and temperatures! Although we were lucky enough to miss serious storms (no hurricanes, no tornados) but did manage to have our share of rain and snow storms. A few times we even had the furnace and AC on within 24 hours.

Even though we plan to "park" our mobile home in one spot for a few months, we are no where near the end of our journey!

So stay tuned. I will continue to blog. We have more plans and travels coming up.
