On retirement from USN, my wife and I bought a used 1979 VW Camper. We visited every state in the US, and traveled from the Islands of Canada, across Canada, went on a 38-day expedition to Mexico, from "T" town, down the Baja, across the sound to the Main Land, visited through out Mexico and returned to CONUS via AZ.

When stationed at USN/MC TRNG CTR, Albany, NY, I had a very interesting detail: My home base was 90 Church St., NYC, 3rd ND Hdqtrs. I was attached to the 3rd ND, mobilization Team. We had to keep records of all HMs. If there was a disaster and/or mobilization, we could recall all HM's and Hospital personnel to Active Duty. Our area was from Albany, NY down to NYC.
