You only get to go around the block of life once. Health & finances permitting we plan to stay on the street of doing things as long as possible before making that final turn & being forced to put on the brakes.
Nothing reserved but plans are underway for Alaska, for the fifth time. Fuel estimates are set at $5gal. Burn set at 10MPG. Per day CG costs bumped up on 2022 costs. The plan is to return after six months having spent less than estimates.

Diesel here is $4.15 as of yesterday but gas keeps going up. I was paying over $5.00 for diesel last year at this time. So we are going but who knows where as so far we have never had trouble getting a spot. We don't go to see the campground, we just park and sleep there. Right now the hold up is Dr appointments. Sure my health is pretty good but kids insist on getting the check ups. To answer the question, yes we are going.

I can't just pick up and go on a whim.. I do not wish to just "camp" in a parking lot type of park.
I was paying $6/gallon gas last season, so I guess since eggs are now $3/dozen, I might just have to make smaller omelets on the Blackstone! ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

Hey Mitch...where ya gettin those $3 doz eggs? Walmart here is $5.80 doz! Is it possible to make a 1 egg omelet??
I don't get concerned over gas prices, in fact, when towing, most always use pure premium.

My wife and I went to Alaska last year thru Alberta, British Columbia and up to the Yukon and price of fuel did not stop us. And for the year we towed our 5th wheel just under10,000 miles. You can't take it with you. I'll never let fuel prices stop me from doing what I want to and as far as reservations did not have any problems making them and we stayed in 37 rv parks with no issues with reservations.

Jerry At these egg prices, I'm seriously thinking of giving DW a dozen eggs instead of Roses for Valentines Day. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink")

We will keep on camping as much as usual. This winter in Arizona, it doesn't look like anyone stayed home because of fuel prices either.

We're heading out to camp and ride tomorrow afternoon.
Knock on wood, it should be the easiest prep ever. We got all packed up over a month ago to camp for New Year but we had mechanical trouble and couldn't go out. I just need to refill the LP since the fridge has been full this whole time.
I can't wait.

Also, while gas prices are up (and still rising) everywhere, we use much less of it at home.
Now, having said that, we're not staying home totally, not doing anything till May when we take an Alaskan Cruise, then probably do some local camping, (2 1/2 hours away) then Upstate NY for the fall.
