Home - End of trip

After 3500 miles, 250 gallons of gas, moving every 2-3 days we made it back to Syracuse. Feels good to be back in Syracuse. Just like we remembered it , a bit cooler , wetter and grayer and lots of projects to get caught up on. Stay tuned we will most likely be cruseing the country on our way back to Florida in the fall.

To have a feather in your hat is special
Another nice town visit . We toured the city, Louisville Slugger bat factory and Churchill Downs . Lucky for us it was election day resulting in no alcohol available or we would never have made it through the day.
