Numbers

I've seen in magazines where they'll have a section titled numbers.  The section is exactly what it sounds like, numbers related to the main subject of the issue or numbers from the news of the week.  I thought it might be fun to have a numbers list for our trip from Missouri to Alaska.

4437.1-  miles driven to Anchorage
2 -  lakes of death
2 - cliffs of death
420 - gallons of gas to get to Anchorage
10.56 - average fuel mileage
27 - stops for fuel (we are deliberately not adding up the cost of those fuel stops)
$7.42 - highest fuel cost per gallon
12 - nights in a hotel
1 - night slept in the back of the truck
11 - pillows in our bunk in the back of the truck
5 - duckies embroidered along the trip
2 - trips taken by both the plane and the barge to get our stuff to Nanwalek

And the most important number of all . . .
44 - days without my kitty!!

I didn't think I could describe the duckies very well,
so I thought it best to include a few pictures.  Working
on these little guys kept me from falling asleep on
Mike too much while he drove.
