The Alaskan Adventure Has Ended

The Alaskan Adventure has finally ended.

We left Grand Teton National Park on Friday and stayed at A.B. Campground in Cheyenne, Wyoming that night. A.B. Campground also has a BBQ Restaurant and it is delicious! Worth a trip to Cheyenne! 

We woke up Saturday morning and celebrated Play Music On The Porch Day by playing "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?" on the steps of the AHouse and shared it with the world.

We spent Saturday night at Windmill State Recreation Area in Gibbon, Nebraska, where there was no BBQ or pirate songs. We also had to start using the air conditioning instead of the furnace. As it was the end of August, it seemed like the right thing.

Sunday we camped in Hannibal, Missouri at the Mark Twain Cave Campground, just on the west side of the Mississippi River. We saw a Copperhead snake outside of the camper that evening, and that was about as exciting as it got. 

On Monday we finished up the trip, stopping at MOD Pizza for dinner 5 miles before we got home. Tom cut his hair and trimmed his beard so the only thing left to do is get the Jeep fixed and plan the next trip! 

Total days on the road: 105
Total miles traveled:  15,390
Total fuel cost:  $3,250.94
Average fuel cost:  $3.51 per gallon

Other than the Jeep getting hit, everything went great, and even that didn't slow us down or change anything. We highly recommend everyone making this trip!!
