High Plains Drifter

I rolled into Dodge City around 9:00am this morning.  It was a long drive, I slept like 4 hours in the car near Goodland.  3796 total miles.  About 2000 of that is the drive up to the park and back.  The other 1796 is mileage around Yellowstone, the Beartooth Mountains, and Grand Teton during the 10 day trip.  Average gas mileage was 22.6 mpg (Jeep Liberty ’03).  Adding up all the receipts, I spent 474.29 in gas at an average of $2.76 per gallon on a total of around 172 gallons filled.  Sit down restaurant charges were $112.84 and total ATM withdrawls of $228.50 with the ATM fees, minus $37 I came back with for a net of $191.50.  I also stayed at a motel for two nights for another ~ $115 when I spent time at Grand Teton.  Total of just under $900.  And that’s with staying with Jay for a majority of the trip.  In the previous blog entry, I went ahead and added one of the fogbow images with Grand Teton in the background.  I realized these images I crudely processed in my laptop turned out only so-so when displayed on a better monitor.  When I process these photos using my desktop computer with the CRT monitor, the photos will look much better.  That monumental task will begin really soon, so keep checking back on my main page for updates.
