Finally...A Retrospective

Okay, I've been meaning to do this for a long time now. Over a month, in fact. Fortunately I still have the distances written down so I was able to figure out my total distance covered.

I've also been meaning to continue the blog to include events that go beyond just a single summer road trip. There's more to Marcel Bal than long distance forays into the States.

I don't know if you can see my route there, but my route followed the pink lines in a clockwise direction


Total Days: 15 (July 31-August 15), 14 nights
Breakdown of nights
     Total Nights Sleeping in Tents at KOAs: 6
     Total Nights Staying With Relatives: 4
     Total Nights in Cabins at KOAs: 2
     Total Nights in Hotels: 2

By the way, KOA stands for Kampgrounds Of America. Which by the way took me way too long to figure out.

Total States Driven Through: 20
     Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Idaho (again), Oregon, Washington (again).

Lifetime Total of States: 24

Total Distance Covered: 6708.4 miles / 10820 km

Until next time...
