Our Adventure by the Numbers

At camp in Goblin Valley

If you’ve read our articles from the past, you’ve likely seen that we keep a pretty close eye on financials and other numbers.

I’m not a numbers person. I’m actually pretty terrible at math, especially beyond Algebra, though I get a kick out of tracking stats and figures from our travels.
