Congratulations! I’m so proud of both of you! Love, AC
Wow — that is so incredible! Congratulations! I love your lists.
Awesome!!
I was thinking a year was the 10th of May, since that’s when you flew from Maryland to Alaska. You really started from State College, Pennsylvania. Congratulations on an epic accomplishment! With many more miles to come. Love you both. XOXO
YAYYYY! Congratulations! You two are awesome! Love the stats! Wondering if there is a correlation between number of showers and number of fights. :) HAHA! Hugs, Millie
I think it is a correlation driven by a third variable: difficulty of terrain. In hard terrain we shower less (fewer services) and we fight more (more tired / hungry / grumpy). So if we just plotted ‘fights’ and ‘showers’ there would be a negative correlation, but it’s explained in large part by the third variable. You should see all the crazy stats we’ve compiled on this trip. My future students are going to be so sick of this data set!
