May 4 - 100,000

This morning just after 9am the van drove its 100,000th mile.
In its four years, this van has travelled to:

Detroit

New York City (twice)
Cleveland
Austin, Texas
San Antonio, Texas
Corpus Christi, Texas
Cut and Shoot, Texas
Indianapolis, Indiana
Bloomington, Indiana (3 times)
Lafayette, Indiana
Lafayette, Louisiana
Highway 61
The Natchez Trace
Lincoln Highway
The King's Highway, Canada
Route 66, Illinois
Champaign/Urbana
Peoria, Illinois
Loami, Illinois
St. Louis
Buffalo, New York
Gary, Indiana
Cairo, Illinois
Centralia, Pennsylvania
Buttzville, New Jersey
Laredo, Texas
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico
Monterrey, Mexico
Hot Springs, Arkansas (3 times)
Branson, Missouri
Memphis, Tennessee (twice)
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Shanksville, Pennsylvania (site of 9/11 plane crash)
Cincinnati
Madison, Wisconsin (4 or 5 times)
Milwaukee (7 or 8 times)

Toronto
Montreal
The UP

The Ozarks of Arkansas
The House On The Rock
A gravity hill in Pennsylvania
The site of Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment (3 times)
Baltimore, Maryland

But most of these miles belong to Chicago's streets, expressways, suburbs, and loading docks.
It's fitting that this milestone occurred en route to work.

Verdict: Loss
