Hey there! It’s been a while. We finally got around to running all the numbers and making the time to write something up about last summer’s “COVID-19 Summer #3” cross-country road trip to visit family, see some more of the United States, and help Hadley move into her new place in the Boston area. The trip itself deserves a whole other post (or series of them), but to start with, we can share the stats. This is a somewhat less tongue-in-cheek version of what brandon wrote up all the way back in 2011 when he made a round trip from Belton, TX to Nashville, TN.
