Sweet Home ChicagoToday 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
