Never move your stuff cross country...just sell it

Below is a map of the trip. We went the southern route to avoid the inclement weather and the mountains (we were chasing good weather so I again apologize to those I couldn't personally say goodbye to).

Lets break down the trip by the numbers.

Total miles driven when I returned the rental truck: 2008 (pretty F'ing spooky)
Total gallons of unleaded burned: 251 approx. (sorry earth!)
Total driving hours: 29 (over 4 days though)
States traversed: 7 (not counting state of exhaustion. Ha!)
Number of Hawaii license plates observed: None
Amount of Redbull imbibed: 5 gallons (maybe slightly exaggerated)
My new ability level of truck driving with a car in tow: Advanced (will not do again...so don't ask me)



All in all, a good trip. Got to see some family and great scenery on the way. We made good time and the gas mileage on the truck was better than I expected. Most importantly, got there in one piece and so did all the stuff.

Who's down for a road trip? Do this!
