I said I would pull together a few statistics for you about my 4 week trip across the U.S:I travelled 5247 miles in total by car, plus a few extra by cab and ferry.
Total fuel cost $503.70 which by my reckoning, taking £1 to equal $1.95, makes it a barely believable £258.31. I don't think I have lost any receipts, though I may have to recheck this against my next bank statement.
During my journey a travelled through or visited 17 states:
California
Nevada
Arizona
Utah
Colorado
Kansas
Missouri
Arkansas
Illinois
Tennessee
Kentucky
North Carolina
Virginia
Maryland
Delaware
New Jersey
New York.
During the 5,247 miles all but approximately 25 miles was with the roof off the car.
It rained no more than 3 times during the whole journey and the temperature never dropped below 85f during the day. Highest was 107f in Death Valley.
In order to win the contents of the above picture, go through the blog and jot down at least 5 song titles that are either used as titles for a days travel, or in many cases I have used part of a lyric from a song; if so tell me the title.
You could be a winner on the show this Friday! Good luck.
