25,000 + miles in one year on the truck then all the gas going for a 5hr drive one way but like above said its not cheap . but when it come to the end of the day and you look back and say its all worth it . seeing the kids and the ones that want to be a kid again priceless .
ps . you can go to troops ( get on you local garrisons page ) . most events need handlers , taking picks just all around help . its a way for you to see how much fun it is if you don't want to jump right in to being a trooper .
