So we're still not in Plano, but the trip is pretty much done. We're hiding in a hotel room in Lubbock trying to escape the heat. This afternoon we went to the Lubbock temple, then we got a flat tire. Luckily, it happened in town and we were able to get it fixed quickly. Here's our trip summary by the numbers:
- Miles driven: 5,808
- States visited: 10
- State license plates spotted: 49 (New Hampshirians proved to be elusive vacationers)
- National Parks visited: 10 (although we really didn't spend much time in Rainier, Lassen, or Crater Lake, we had really good visits at all the rest) We also visited 2 national monuments and one national historical park.
- Temples visited: 7 (would have been 8, but the Albuquerque temple was closed for maintenance)
- Fast food consumed: just the corn dog at Weinerschnitzel, plus some sandwiches at Subway if that counts as fast food. We did eat a lot of Snickers bars, however - which is one of our favorite hiking snacks.
- Nights spent camping: 23 (only four nights were actually in the backcountry, the rest were in campgrounds)
ITS OVERRRRRR!!!!!!!! (teen girl squad)
