Road Trip: Photography, Utah – Miles
by Bruce • March 11, 2022 • Roadies • 0 Comments
I thought I would take some time tonight to figure out roughly how many miles I put on the truck with this trip. I wanted to do this in part because I am nearing the 200,000 mile mark with my truck (I’m about 600 miles short), and I wanted to see about where I was at when I started the trip- because, naturally, I forgot to write it down.
Here’s pretty much where I went and how many miles were traveled getting there.
