A quick look at the numbers from the Colorado expedition show:
2500 – number of words already written on the trip with only two days of entries completed
2000 – miles driven
100 – number of random still images shot
10 – approximate number of GIGS of video shot on the trip
5 – approximate number of days fished
5 – number of pounds lost on expedition
2 – baseball caps purchased (one for me and one for LK)
30 – number of minutes with good phone service during last 8 days
20 – number of dollars spent on hatch peppers (by SO) roadside yesterday
12 – exact number of flies purchased
8 – exact number of flies lost (not on fish)
