Day 9 - Home Again: The Summary


It was completely calm when we woke up this morning around 6. No sign of what went on last night. Luckily it was just wind and no rain, so everything was dry, and there was a beautiful sunrise. After our 14 hour drive on Saturday, we had a much shorter day ahead. We were on the road by 6:30 and quickly passed into Central time. We passed huge fields of sunflowers and tried to see the world's largest prairie dog but you can't see him behind the wall anymore.

We stopped for gas and I wasn't sure I could get back in the car anymore. We drove into my driveway about 1:45 p.m. As you all know, I like data, so here's a little summary of our trip:

  • Miles driven: 3766
  • Hours driving (according to my GPS): 55
  • Times we bought gas: 13, for $374.57
  • License plates found: 46, plus 8 Canadian provinces
  • States traveled: 7
  • Nights camped: 8, at a cost of $153.69
  • National Parks visited: 3, for $50
  • Moose seen: 5
  • Bears seen: 0
