Our cost was right what we planed to spend. Could we cut cost, sure but remember we go and do something or see something every day. Our goal is to see everything there is to see where we are at. We never just sit for a day in the camp ground. That for sure would save money. We knew what our budget was and worked around that. Fuel cost was a bit lower then we thought it would be so that open up the budget a bit. We did this same trip out west in 2016, and spent about the same amount. a fun trip and we look forward to covering the south in 2018
