Road Trippin

Tomorrow, Shala and I are puttin' on our straw hats, leavin' our shoes behind, packin' the old banjo and settin' off on a road trip to visit Shala's family in Arkansas. Driving just one way is going to total up to 825 miles, and if we don't stop or consider time changes, the drive will be just shy of 13 hours. I've found we can cut about 20 miles off the trip if we just walk. It would only be 806 miles and take about 11 days. If we ride our bikes, the mileage shoots up to over 900 miles, but would only take us about 3 days to get there. As the crow flies, their house is only 675 miles away. Why that's only:

195 leagues (roughly)
39,600 stone's throws (assuming you can throw a stone 30 yards)
194,400 1953 Cadillac Eldorados (end to end)
594,000 fathoms
1,188,000 yards
3,564,000 feet
42,768,000 inches
1,086,307,200 millimeters

Bye,
Ruben
