Analysis of the Camping Trip

Over the course of the camping trip we drove 3,071km on the car odometer. Interestingly enough, I had forecasted 3,000km which is pretty damn close. Cost wise, the total trip from UBC to Campbell River and then busing back to UBC cost 1181.43. This is inequivalent to 590.715 per…
