Total number of states that we have seen so far: 14 (Maryland, West Virgina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona)
Number of states that I have seen that are new to me: 6 (South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona)

Top speed reached this trip: 85 mph
Lowest speed: 5 mph

Highest gas that we've seen: $4.05 (unleaded)
Lowest gas that we've seen: $2.99 (unleaded)
Average gas price: $3.80

Distance traveled: just over 3,250 miles

Number of national parks that we've seen: 5 (Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Rocky Mountains, Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon)

Hours we've gone back: at this point, 3.

About the time change: we'd been operating under the assumption that the mountain time to pacific time zone change would occur on the Nevada border. However, once we got to Arizona, we were told that Arizona doesn't change for daylight savings time, so we actually are on pacific time right now (three hours behind the East Coast) even though we're technically in mountain time. So, yeah. Right now, it's nine o'clock AM. Which is why I woke up today, on my own, at six-thirty.
