Home Chicago" href="http://llworldtour.files.wordpress.com/2006/09/dsc00096.jpg" rel="lightbox[45]">Today I rolled back into ‘sweet home’ Chicago after 2 ½ weeks on the road, living out of one big backpack. I guess this was just a small taste of what I’m about to experience.

So here are some fun stats from the US world tour:

• States visited: 10 (making my life total 39)
• Miles Driven: 4,783
• Total Cost of Gas: $368
• Cheapest Gas Stop:
  • First week (before prices went down a bit): Delano, MN: $2.65/gal
  • Second Week: Geneseo, IL: $2.48/gal.

• Total Cost of Rental Car: $455
• Total Cost of Lodging: $587
• Cheapest Motel: (Besides Mom’s—which is free for me!) Budget Host Inn–Julesburg, CO (5 miles east of NE border): $42.35
• Most Expensive Motel: Best Western—Minneapolis, MN: $100
• Number of Speeding Tickets: 1
