Weekend Numbers
First off, thank you all for the birthday wishes. I truly appreciate them.
I spent the Labor Day weekend camping and hiking in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. I haven't had time to sit down and write about it properly, but I thought it would be cool (and easier) to summarize the trip by numbers, in no particular order:
Highways taken: 101, 152, 99, 180
Hours driving there: 3.5
Price for gallon of gas: $2.09
Hours spent in parks: 45
Miles hiked: 18
Hiking companions: 2
Number of times lost: 3
Waterfalls seen: 5
Bears seen: 0
Deer seen: 4
Elevation (in feet) of camp: 6,589
Highest elevation climbed: 8,044
Liters of water consumed on the trail: 7
Liters of Gatorade consumed: 2.5
Number of granola bars eaten: 8
Number of pictures taken: 198
Number of pictures of me: 8
Number of good pictures: 190
Price of a double caramel latte at village coffee cart: $4.00
Number of times hearing Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head" : 5
Hours with television, internet or cell phone reception: 0
It all equaled a great weekend.


Who needs words when we have numbers? Sounds like a lovely weekend & glad you had a good birthday.
Thank you. True, numbers are nice. They just need words every now and then to add color or spice things up. :P
