By the Numbers

10,366.  That is how many miles we drove in the Willie.

1,994.  The number of miles we drove in the Jeep, even though it was out of commission for several weeks.

Over 1,000.  The number of miles we drove in Katie's truck while the Jeep was being repaired.

Over 13,000 miles in ten weeks.  Wow.  It does not feel like we drove half-way around the world, but we did.  When put that way, it is impressive that we did not have more trouble than we did.

1547.6.  Gallons of fuel consumed by Willie.  Add in 133 gallons (+ or -) used by the Jeep.  That's a lot of gasoline.

$6857.89.  Cost of Willie's drinking habit at an average cost of $4.43 per said gallon.

6.7.  Average miles per gallon.

$6.25.  The highest price per gallon of gas we spent.  For that particular fill-up in Dease Lake, British Columbia, we spent $1.00 per mile.  Yikes!

4.5.  The number of extra bags of food we needed for Babs.  Thank goodness we had some people joining us who could bring it with them.

90%.  The percentage of paved highways we drove in Alaska.  They do not have a whole lot of them, and we drove most of them.

66.3.  Total number of hours we ran the generator.  Given that we can run it 15 hours on a football game day, we were surprised it wasn't more.

1.  Nights we spent in a hotel.  We had hoped not to spend any days in hotels, but the Willie was in the parking lot in Boise, and we wanted to spend time with my uncle and aunt in McCall.

2.  Number of venues we missed due to car trouble:  Fairmont Hot Springs (though Katie and Chris got there) and Valdez.

2.  Tires changed.  Luckily, Don was there to do that!

49/48.  The size of the 49th State as compared with the other 48.

Over 3500.  Number of pictures we took.  We have a lot of editing/deleting to do.

Over 150.  Blogs I wrote.  That is a lot of writing without dependable internet!
