1. The Numbers: Day 70

    More updates are coming! Erin and I will be taking a break from our trip next week in order to celebrate our birthday—October 30 for the both of us—back in Cleveland with friends and family. We’ll be in town from Wednesday, October 27 until Tuesday, November 2, when we’ll most likely continue our journey from Eugene, Oregon.

    • Miles since Cleveland: ~2,000
    • Cycling days: 44
    • Leisure days: 26
    • Rainy days: 4
    • Nights camped: 11
    • Nights in motels: 22½
    • Nights couchsurfed: 36½

    [We half-camped on two occasions—the night in Oberlin, which accounts for half a motel, and in someone’s yard, which I’ll call “campsurfing” and accounts for half a couchsurf.]
