I've been home for a couple weeks now, and busy planning for some summer adventures like the Merritt Mountain Music Festival in July.

I have also crunched some numbers from the last trip south.

I traveled a total distance (driveway to driveway) of 15,097 kilometres over a total of 82 days December 21st, 2006 to March 14th, 2007.

This works out to an average daily distance of 184km. Many days the wheels did not move, and the highest mileage days were December 22 (809) and March 12 (679), both moving quickly through the 'cold' zone closer to home.

Where did I spend the nights?

• British Columbia 3
• Washngton State 2
• Oregon 5
• California 26
• Arizona 14
• Baja California Norte 2 (Mexico)
• Baja California Sur 30 (Mexico)

Furthest north - my driveway in Lake Louise


Furthest south - Cabo San Lucas, Baja Sur 22 52.771 lattitude























Furthest east - Los Barriles, Mexico -109.69773 longitude






















Furthest west - Port Orford, Oregon -124.497453 longitude

Total cost? Total cost of the trip itself came out at $3,695.71. This includes all food, fuel, propane, and daily costs on the road. It includes such things as two oil changes on the road, car washes, and a new deep cycle RV battery, but does not include either Mexican or home vehicle insurance.

Average mileage for the trip worked out to 13.69 miles/gallon. (Sorry, I don't calculate l/100km!)

The plowed up snow banks around home are still at least 10' high, but at least I have found the driveway and have it thawed down to bare pavement, finally!

LOST!

Two picnic tables in the back yard. Still no sign of them under the snow banks!
