Summer Statistics

We did a lot of camping and driving this summer.  Some quick facts:


Kilometres driven (from Salmon Arm in early July to present):  12,330

Gas station stops:  29

Longest single driving day:  1442 km (Queen Charlotte City, BC to Kamloops, BC)

Number of nights spent in a tent:  21

Most consecutive nights in a tent:  6 (Jasper National Park and Mount Robson Provincial Park)

Number of nights spent in a yurt:  1

Number of beer competitions judged:  3 (including the BC Beer Awards being judged tomorrow)

Gigabytes of photos taken (since leaving for Oregon in July):  7.8


Aside from some recurring central locking issues, our trusty steed (2007 VW Rabbit) held up very well under the unusual demands we made of it.  We even managed to survive the inconvenience of accessing our supplies through only two passenger doors and a hatchback.  Drives wonderfully and is very reliable.  Thank you, German auto maker!

As much as Sarah used to dislike car camping in our smallish tent, it has become home to her and she finds it cozy and comforting.  Heh heh, my evil plan to condition her to camping/tenting in bite-sized chunks has succeeded!  Or maybe, being homeless, it's just the closest thing we have to a house; we've spent more nights in the tent than we have anywhere else since the end of March.
