4 Corners - The numbers...

For those of you that like numbers...

•34 days
•32 states CA OR WA ID MT WY SD NE KS IA MN NY VT NH ME MA RI CT NJ DE MD VA NC SC GA FL AL MS LA TX NM AZ
•2 Canadian provinces – BC and Ontario
•2 partial days of rain (north border of Maine, Miami, Fl
•92 gas stops (missing a few receipts so probably more like 95
•353 gallons of gas (probably another 15-20 in the missing receipts)
•MPG - Highest 42.37, Lowest 25.35. All of this is pulling my trailer. Don’t know were the 42 was but the 25 was probably blasting thru west Texas were the posted limit on I-10 is 80. Sure does make the miles fly by!
•Highest gas prices in US I saw - $3.59 in Blaine WA Chevron - I did not go there!. Highest paid was in Ontario, Canada $4.05/gal. Lowest – Sioux City IA $2.32
•GPS miles – 12,748. Speedo miles – 12707. I suspect speedo error for the difference.
•Average cost per day $97.21
•Camped a lot on the northern ½ , none on the southern ½. Humidity was high, with the worst being Florida and Key West specifically. Humidity was very mild until I hit Florida. Also my modified schedule for the 2nd ½ put me on the super slab so not much in the way of camping
•Mechanical issues – none. Got a new front tire in VA and an oil change.
•Temperature extremes – 29 outside of Yellowstone, 110 Phoenix. – that was a HOT ride

Mission: Accomplished!

Glad you made it home okay. Sounds like you had a great trip; sorry you had to cut it short. It definitely doesn't surprise me that the highest gas you saw in the US was here...Washington is more of a rip off than CA with some things!!! Lemme know when you'd like to head up this way again; Kaeson loves his Granpa Time!!!
