Trip Wrap-up and Top 10 Sunsets/Sunrises

 Location: Sandy Creek Campground (COE); Jasper, Texas

Tomorrow is my last day here at Sandy Creek. I took a ride to see something yesterday, but other than that I've just been taking it easy. This post will give a few travel statistics and the top 10 sunrises/sunsets. 

This trip began on February 12 and ends on April 11th. The miles Liberty2 was towed, including the final leg on Tuesday, will be just under 1,500 miles. I've stayed in 15 campgrounds of which 9 were Corps of Engineers, 3 were State Parks and 3 were City/County owned. Zero were privately owned campgrounds, which I like that stat. The average mileage between campgrounds was 92 and average stay was 4 days. The average campground cost was $15.00 per day which is very reasonable. I reinforced a lesson previously learned in that making reservations is a must now-a-days. The only campground I had bad "ju-ju" with was Copperas Creek COE campground near the town of Comanche, Texas. That's that number 4 out in left field on the map below. Oh well, 14 good ones out of 15 is pretty good odds for campgrounds.


One of the good things about camping at COE campgrounds is they are usually near a body of water, which if you plan it right, offer some good sunsets and sunrises. The following are the top 10 from this trip in order of campgrounds.
