This guy was waiting for us at the first gas station we hit. It was truly a scary event but we did get past it. Actually, the price of diesel has been going down as we move north. The price in Dalton, GA was $4.639 (When we got into Kentucky the price was $4.499). We do realize that won't last but that's how we started. On our first tank of gas we got 7.5 mpg. Before we left home I had said I would be happy with 7 mpg. Based on that I guess we're happy campers (get it?). We know it's going to be expensive but it might be even more expensive next year and we're really looking forward to this trip.
