Our trip to middle earth is now over and return with relaxed minds, tans lines, countless gigs of video and photos to edit, and wonderful memories. With so many places on the globe to see it’s hard say that you would repeat but I’m sure we will go back. It’s like no where else on earth.
We are going straight back to work after this, just a couple days in Detroit to load up the truck for another long tour year. The only breaks we will get this year are ones that we schedule with time off. However, boy are we going to make some miles. The first few months will include Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Glorious California. This means I’m chasing the sun and getting to visit some places we usually have to skip.
This seems like a good time to share a few of the stats from last year.
Miles: More than 60,000
States: 42 (knocking two off of my “never been to list”)
Countries: 3 (Canada, Mexico, New Zealand)
Shows: 70
Tours: Four total between Josh and I
Days on the road: 336
Bloggers met up with: 10

Any other stats you’re interested in?
The Roving Van Gelders 
Number of times Pippi barfed inside the truck.
It would be great if I could just roll my eyes at this one but, I can think of three different times I had to scoop up a little upchuck in the truck
Sounds like you’re ready for another year….
