Fun Facts about the trip

I thought I would put up one last post in regard to this trip. I thought you might like to know some of the interesting statistics from the trip. Here goes:

* Total Miles driven on the trip

9768 miles driven! A little bit more than the 6500 I predicted.

* Miles per Gallon on the trip

29.5 MPG on the trip! Not bad for towing a small trailer

* Total number of days out on the trip – 41 days. One day shy of six weeks!

*. Total Gallons of fuel used on the trip. – I bought 331 gallons of fuel

*. Total number of states visited on the trip

My path took me trough 14 different states. Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington,Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and Iowa

* The number of times I crossed the Continental Divide

I ended up crossing the Continental Divide 14 times!

* The number of new Tattoo’s I got while on the trip

Just one

* Number of visitors to the blog – 306 different people visited the blog!

* Those visitors left 99 comments on the blog.

* The number of countries the visitors viewed the blog in

The visitors came from 12 different countries!

* The blog had a total of 1814 views.

* I lost the license plate off of my camper. When I went to set up the camper in the Olympic National Forest I noticed my License plate was gone. It looks like the rivets that held it on fatigued and it just fell off somewhere in Washington State!

* I ended up visiting 19 National Parks. I had set out to visit 20 National Parks , but I wasn’t able to reach Death Valley because the highway used to get to it was washed out in a flash flood just three days before I got there. The park was closed!

* I ended up visiting two state parks on the trip. One in South Dakota and the other in Utah. I got to see the cliff that they drove the Thelma and Louise Thunderbird off of while making the movie!

* I stayed in two private RV parks along my way on the trip.

* 21 visitors to the blog “liked” it

* The most viewed post was where I wrote a eulogy for Diane. It was titled “This is the Girl I married”. It was viewed 93 times.

I returned home on Friday the 22nd of September around 5:00pm. Many of my friends kept on asking me to post a picture of myself, so here you go……

I finally made it home!

I would again like to thank everyone for following along with me on my trip.

I promise I will write again the next time I head out to get more National Parks under my belt!
