The Tale of the Numbers

6,500 (give or take a few) - number of miles so far travelled

64 - days we've been away from Saranac

8 - number of states we've "touched"

6 - number of National Parks/Forests/Monuments we've visited, Glacier National Park being the favorite

10 - percentage downward grade on the pass outside of Jackson, WY into Idaho. I (Evie) was shaking so badly at the bottom that I had to pull over and let John drive.

8-10 - number of pounds John and I have each gained since leaving on June 22!! That's the price we pay for living in the land of cheese for five weeks.

212 - Evie's highest cholesterol reading EVER - see reason above!! Time to get back on the program when we return. :)

16 - hours until we are scheduled to begin the drive back east

1 - trip of a lifetime for our family
