Our last stop on our 3 week journey before home, was in  Trinidad, CO. We camped at Trinidad Lake State Park. We were so pooped by the time we got situated at our site we didn't even unhook the truck. We had a pretty nice site here. Tour of Trinidad will have to wait until next time.

We arrived home in New Mexico on July 8, 2016. What a trip. Three weeks, 5 states, 3909 miles. We got to spend time with family, met new friends and checked a couple of items off of the bucket list (Coeur D'Alene, Mt. Rushmore).

Gene's stats: We used 355 gallons of fuel, spent 92 hours riding in the truck, and got 11.0 mpg.

I think next trip we will spend less time in the truck and more time at a stop. 

This trip was the last trip for the 2011 Montana High Country. Her oxidized exterior and peeling decals made us decide to upgrade. She has served us well and has been reliable but it is time to trade her off....
