American Road Trip Fun -and not so Fun- Facts
Country road, take me home...
- We were on the road for 54 days
- We saw some of the tallest trees on Earth - the Coastal Redwoods
- I saw some of the oldest trees on Earth - the Bristlecone Pines in the White Mountains
- We woke up with a view of the tallest peak in the contiguous 48 for 7 days in a row - Mt Whitney
- I walked on the lowest point in North America - Badwater Basin
- I drove through the city with arguably the worst traffic in the country - LA
- We drove 10,000 miles
- 13 states - WA, OR, CA, NV, AZ, UT, NM, CO, TX, OK, MS, IL, IN
- Camped with the waves of the ocean as background noise in Salt Point in California, then another two nights under the star of the stunning desert night sky in Joshua Tree (CA) and Valley of Fire (NV)
- We stayed at 15 different places. That means we had to "move" 15 times...
- ...and I say "move" because we were carrying everything we own with us. We believe we didn't lose anything.
- We had to leave one of those places at 2am because of some crazy dudes pounding our door.
- We ran into very nice, and very rude people.
- Our diet could have been better, having a kitchen at some of the places helped a lot.
- I lost count of how many sunrises I witnessed. It doesn't get boring though.
- I shot and developed some 70 rolls of 120 film. I took hundreds of digital photos, a few rolls of 35mm and dozens of videos.
- I miss it already.
- This is a vast, and beautiful country!
