Epilogue... One more ride

The end of the road...

While we made it to our final RV park yesterday in a thunderstorm, it just didn't feel like we had reached a clear end to our trip.  While Beth was looking at some options for activities while we were here on the outer banks, she found that the road actually ended about 30 miles north of us.  That sounded like a good place to really say we were "finished" with our ride across the USA.

This morning, Beth and I on the tandem and Nicholas on his bike headed north to Corolla to find where the black top ends.  During  the ride we had it all... cool and overcast, sunny and humid, deep puddles from recent rains, heavy rain directly on us and head winds.  It was a good time and we really felt like we had finished our long trip.  4162 miles in all.

While we were in Corolla, we climbed the Currituck Beach Lighthouse.  It gave us a great view of the area and the chance to reflect on our 2 month journey across the country.

Here are the final stats from riding across the country:

48 different RV parks or campgrounds
6977 miles on the RV since we left home
