Final Stats

Our trip to California (West Coast) is complete. We had great weather, and saw a lot of wonderful sights. We also covered the final 2 states we were missing in our quest for the lower 48.

Overall, I would call the trip a success.

With this trip completed, we have now visited ALL 48 lower states in the United States on our 2008 Goldwing.

We have one more small trip to Deal's Gap planned for October, and who knows what next year will bring.

Here is our final map for the trip. This map includes the complete route from actual GPS track files. Like other google maps, you can zoom, pan, and change map type.

The final route mileage was 6526 miles.
