24. The Numbers

 Time to face the music, with almost 7,000 miles travelled through 14 states over 14 days, here's how it all breaks down:


Trailer rental, insurance & propane: $970

Camping Fees: $224

Groceries: $174

Fuel: $1,422 - about 20% more than expected.  Highest paid: $2.79 (CA) Lowest: $1.95 (IA)

Tolls: $44

Grand Total: $2,834  to get 4 days in Vermont by road trip


Other expenses: Dining out, entertainment & souvenirs: $1,286 (Got a little carried away here with the craft beer and goodies)


By comparison, flying out to spend the same 4 days in VT

Round trip flight: $400

Rental car: $600

Hotel: $750

Dining: $500

Total (estimated): $2,250 BUT - since Vermont currently requires a 14-day quarantine upon arrival, these costs would be significantly higher if following the rules.
