Michael Walsh of Vancouver said the idea of seeing PNC Park in Pittsburgh (pictured above) turned into a 25-day, 7,000-mile "Sport Road Trip" to 11 Major League Baseball ballparks, five minor league stadiums and the U.S. Open.

When Sport Road Trip Co-Founders Casey Johnson of Washougal and Michael Walsh of Vancouver returned home July 2, the odometer on their 2011 Lincoln MKX read 7,003.1 miles.

The vehicle, provided specifically for the trip by Foothills Lincoln Mazda in Spokane, took the two Boise State University graduate students to 23 different states, 11 Major League Baseball ballparks, five minor league games and the U.S. Open Golf Championship in 25 days.
