#25   Update from LOCKPORT, IL

WHITEHOUSECA: 3 SIRS and RV 


The trip from our home in CA to Lockport,  was just a few miles over 2,600.  Almost 600 miles more than taking the southern roads.  We bought 323gals of gas at a cost of $764.19 .  Even using the air and the generator we averaged around 9 miles to the gal.  When you looked at smaller sections of the trip we were getting over 11 miles to the gal.  The mts. and head wind areas really took a toll on the overall mileage. We still did it cheaper than before going the short southern way.   We spent just under $300.00 on the cost for our RV Park stay.  They were overall better and more costly than the southern way.
If I look overall at the parks, they would be ranked as follows:
1. Coachland at Truckee, CA
2. Flying Flags at Solvane, CA
3. Casa de Fruita in CA
4. Kearney RV in Kearney, NE
5. Ironhorse RV Resort in Elko, NV
6. KOA Rock Springs, WY
Number 5 and 6 were gravel and gravel and  bad wifi cause the low marks
What is not great about being in the Midwest are the storms:
We were lucky last night.  The storms were west and south of the Joliet area.  We did some heavy rain but the storm warning were about 30 plus miles west.  Lee is not a storm lover and I think that is why she said this morning she did not sleep well.
My sister and Lee are shopping this afternoon.   The boys and I are working on website. 

Until next time we meet on our journey:
