The List

• We traveled 10 days, from a Thursday through a Monday. During this time, we figured we were in a car for about 80 total hours.
• We were at sea level (maybe below in the desert outside of Las Vegas) and climbed as high as 13,635 ft.
• Gas cost us anywhere between a low of $2.59 (Iowa City) to a high of $3.79 (Wells, NV).
• We traveled through countless national parks and forests to include trips over the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam.
• We traveled through nine States including 5 state capitals.
• The only rain we really experienced was in the painted desert (of all places), and as we drove back into Iowa. Temperatures ranged from 31 degrees in Copper Mt. CO (frost on car), to 116f as we approached Hoover Dam.
• Worst city (by consensus) was Reno, NE.
• Best surprise city was Truckee, CA.
• Sidetrack and Buzz may have to retire in Flagstaff.
• Too many great memories to list. Love our Cousins and grateful for their wonderful hospitality. More later....
