Greetings from the Edge of Nowhere – Schulyer Service Area, New York.
After wolfing down some breakfast courtesy of Ben at we hit the road at 6:42 AM ET. At 6:43 AM ET Brian reminded him that his AAA Membership did help cover small amounts of Bail should the occasion arise where we need to use it.
For the first leg today Brian is our Pilot with me the First Mate in charge of journal entries, recording various statistics, passing out the snacks and flipping off the stupid people who get in our way. So far the trip has been very pleasant and we have been making decent time. As of press time here are our current stats:
Total Miles Traveled: 347.7
Total Time for the Trip: 5 Hours 6 Minutes
Total Driving Time: 4 Hours 50 Minutes
Total Stoppage Time: 16 Minutes
Top Speed: 86.8 Miles Per Hour
Average Moving Speed: 71.8 Miles Per Hour
Overall Average Trip Speed (including Stoppage Time): 68.1 Miles Per Hour.
Number of Times Pulled Over: 0
Number of Other Vehicles Pulled Over: 6
Our Current ETA to Niagara Falls is +/- 3:20 PM ET. Then it is on to Cleveland.
Overall the trip has been progressing well and I hope that we have continued success moving forward. This is aided by the weather being great (after a very foggy start) and traffic has been pretty light. Additionally with the assistance of Ben’s EZ-Pass we have not had to deal with any of those pesky Toll Booth workers. Probably the biggest hiccup in the adventure has been leaving Tebucky behind (my bad). So instead we are joined by the Flying Monkey who is looking forward to wreaking havoc across the United States.
