The entire trip cost 800.00....My wife only had a learner's permit so she
learned to drive on the trip(she was 19 and I was 22). We would wash the car
with creek water..I fished wherever we went...caught plenty enough(that's how
God works)..The camp grounds were all free as I recall..and we were shocked
when we had to pay 2.00 for a campground somewhere in Florida along the Gulf
Coast..Things were so safe then that we actually slept on a lawn at a roadside
rest in Chicago. We had no credit cards or electronic transfers then, so on
the way back, when we ran out of money in Hot Sulpher Springs Colorado(it was
a little dirt road side stop) I got a job digging a sewer line..I made 33.00
which got us back to Oakland, Ca.

Bud, the first things that come to mind here: "WITNESS PROTECTION
PROGRAM", or the basis for a great book.
I traveled the entire USA in a Tr4 jam packed with stuff, and an Army
footlocker on the luggage rack ..My wife and I lived in a tent the entire
time..campground to campground..approx 5 months..Of course this was 1969!
