Were there any lowlights - a few that one should confess to.
- It was very hot - 90F for much of the time in the south
- The RV consumed a lot of gas!
- We got stuck in a ditch when trying to turn around once
- Hugh fell of his bike once on a forest trail due to a tree root or log. No injury.
- The bikes fell of the back three times and one was damaged on the third time.
- The Honda Fit’s battery ran down and needed jump starting a few times
- The Fit electric cable cable came undone and needed to be replaced
- I did not turn the key on in the fit once and the front tires became locked
- One of the lockers was damaged when I closed the slider on it.
