May 29 - 2018 The Dalles, Oregon

Tuesday, 29th, we moved from La Pine to The Dalles, Oregon  (170 miles/ 270 km).
On that move we crossed the 25000 miles mark, since we started our trip last fall (efterår).
25000 miles /40000 km is a lot. It is one time around the earth at the Equator (Ækvator).
That hast taken us about 5½ months.
In 60 seconds it looks like this.


When we are on our long transfers we spend some of the time listening to music.
Inspired by our visit to Luckenbach, Texas, we started talking about songs that we know, that mention
cities, states or places we have been to on our trip.

It has been a fun pastime (tidsfordriv) and so far the list looks like this:
