Columbus, Ohio. 554 miles.

Some useful statistics. Well, sort of.

• Car crashes witnessed: 1
• TV interviews: 1
• Times told off by police officers for walking on interstate: 1
• Times walked on interstate without being spotted by police officers: 1
  
• Radio interviews: 2
• Dogs that haven't barked at me: 3 (but one of these was Maxy, who's so clever he must be Albert Einstein reincarnated in canine form)
• Autographs signed: 4 (but one of these was "in case you get famous")
  
• Consumption of Subway Foot-Long Veggie Delites on wheat bread with pepper jack cheese, all the veggies and lite mayonnaise: 7 (I have a rule that if I'm hungry and I go past a Subway, I eat one. I don't know why, because I'm getting fed up with them. It's a bit like Supersize Me, but without the trans fatty acids)
• Nights in tent: 9
• Nights in people's homes: 11
• Newspaper interviews: 18
• Nights in motels: 34
• Dogs that have barked at me: approx. 150
• People walking or cycling across America at any one time: approx. 1 million. This figure was extrapolated by my brother Nigel based on the number of people I've met who are doing a similar thing, the population of the US, and the number of possible routes across the country. He doesn't have any statistical qualifications that I know of, and I think he may have added a few extra zeroes by mistake.
• Approximate number of steps taken: 1,329,600

And some thankyous...
to Shirley Haynes, John and Shirley Vingle, Diane and Ted Mueller, and Dan, Mim, Logan and Emma Halterman, for all your generous hospitality.
