Epilogue


A few follow-up items that may be mildly interesting. The seeds of the H2Olen Roadtrip were initially planted back in the summer of 1980 when the Olen family did an epic trip across the country. Although the trips were different in many respects they did have at least one thing in common: historically high gas prices. The first graph shows 1980 in historical prospective and the second graph shows the past 18 months of gas prices.



You can also check out the video of the foul ball I caught at the Royals game (detailed here). The quality of the video is not spectacular but you can easily spot me with my gold ASU shirt. My reaction is a little over the top but I was just overcompensating for almost breaking my hand.





Next major blog installment will likely be for our Texas trip in May 2009
