I was waiting to post until I could get a picture of Tracey, Eric, Malina and myself standing by the RV. But weather and schedules haven't cooperated, so that'll have to wait. In the meantime, I've returned to "civilian" life here with the added task of mowing the lawn now that spring is in full force. The first few days back I unloaded GoJoe, washed and waxed it, cleaned the windows and tires, etc. I'm sure the neighbors thought I'd gone over the edge with all the attention I was giving my RV. Many of them have stopped by and wanted to know about the trip. I enjoy inviting them in to GoJoe's lounge and regaling them with stories of the road.
A few stats from the trip:
- Days on the road: 50
- Miles traveled: 7,751
- States visited: 12
- Sights seen: Mountains, forests, deserts, lakes, rivers, gardens, parks, a gulf(of Mexico), an ocean (Pacific), historical sites, factories, and on and on.
- Great people met: Too many to count
- Value of experience: Priceless
Tracey and I have been thinking of short trips to take in the next few months in GoJoe. Virginia Beach and the Adirondacks seem to be calling. And a niece is getting married in upstate New York in August. Eric and Malina will go with us to the wedding and we'll test GoJoe's capacity to house four people for a few days.
Stay tuned for the future adventures of GoJoe. And now I'm off to mow the grass. :)

Just stumbled across you on the Tioga George site. You have a great RV. My wife and I looked at this RV in December or early January and I still wish we would have bought it. It is one outstanding RV and was fitted out terrific. I still haven't been through your travels but I will.
Congratulations.
Still looking for my LD

I too just found your website from Tioga George. Glad you enjoyed your trip so much. I've been RV'ing since mid-70's and can't imagine life without an RV. Now that I'm widowed I travel solo (but with 2 kitties for company) all over the west coast in my 30' class C MH. Hope you enjoy your future trips as much as I enjoy mine.
Welcome home!
Welcome back, Joe. When you're done with your lawn, come on over and do mine! :-)
50 days.....aaahh I envy you Joe. It's looking like my son and I will take the pup to Tybee Island just off the coast of Savannah, Ga. some time in the summer and in late July my GF and I will spend a week in Cherokee,NC. 50 days eh, that'll be me one day. ;)
Gary: You're right - it's a great RV. I hope you'll find the right Lazy Daze soon!
Anonymous: Keep on keeping on!
Julie and Larry: Thanks, it's great to be back. But also looking forward to the road again. (Larry: Don't hold your breath on the lawn mowing :)
Charles: I've put on a lot of miles since we met in Alabama. Glad you're enjoying the camping life. One day you'll be enjoying some long journeys, too! Hang in there.
Welcome back, Joe! Thanks for keeping the blog, it's been fun to watch.
