   Around 1pm we were having lunch at Plutos here in Davis. 16 hours previous, at 10pm the night before, we'd been deep in Yellowstone. I've always thought of Yellowstone as incredibly far away -- it was weird to think that we'd been there just the night before.

   I'm back in Davis now. The girls continued on to the Bay Area or some such.

Total Miles Driven: ~7,257+
Total Miles I Drove on My Own Sub-adventure Without the Girls: ~845 (included in above amount)
Total Times Pulled Over by Cops: 3
Fastest Speeding Ticket: Tarisha at 103mph in Arizona just this morning.
Total number of cops seen on the highway in Virginia: 27 (I had the whole Virginia shift -- I set the cruise control at exactly 65 and crept through that viper pit without incident)
Buffalo Traffic Delays: ~2 hours. Yes, buffalo as in bison, not as in the place. Its okay though because the buffaroos were quite cute.
Maximum number of people we put in the van: 10
States Visited: 29 (me, 27 for the girls)
Countdown till EPIC ROADTRIP 2008: ~370 Days!

   I'd like to thank [livejournal.com profile] pavel_lishin for hosting us for our whistle-stop in Dallas, and the residents of the Ant Hill Co-Op in Rochester for letting me stop-over there, as well as the many other people who met with us or tried to meet with us on the trip. I'd especially like to thank my brother [livejournal.com profile] nibot for giving me a lot of support and almost daily advise on what to do in the area we were in.

Picture of the Day



   I uploaded a bunch more pictures today from the last three days or so. There's still a lot more, especially from Yellowstone, that I need to sift through and post.


   So anyone still in Davis? (Who's not out to kill me)
   And I still need to make that tiny eight hour jump to OC (Seriously, 8 hours seems like nothing now)

driving distance

I like to compare long driving distances to 25000 miles—the circumference of the earth. If you drove in a straight linealong a great circle, you'd have gone nearly 1/3 the way around the planet.

It would be great if you could leave a reference about Ant Hill on their couchsurfing page: http://www.couchsurfing.com/profile.html?id=1MY439F
