Event Coverage 30K Road Trip--The Big Apple or Bust

THe robots play a game, 3 on 3. This year in involves a castle....

 

something is pushing a warm front our way.........could it be the nose of an old, small block powered, chevy suburban?

 

Jim, do you have a link to the competition. I don't think that most people expect a robot guy to have vehicles like you do. I would like to know if there are any other old cars that drove there robot there?

I wanted to run into NYC with you in the Anglia. Rear end going back in tonight. If you're coming through Thursday, I'm still in if you want a wing guy.
How do you plan on going in? Lincoln Tunnel, G. Washington Bridge or the Holland tunnel?

 

You can't beat the view from the George Washington Bridge and the tour south on the Henry Hudson Parkway. Bob

 

What highway do you plan on running across PA and into NJ? Maybe I can set up on an overpass and wave.

 

From the 81 to 78 would put him closer to the Lincoln. Less time on 95(jersey turnpike) the better. The Lincoln would put him close to the Javis center too.

 

Just because the Razorbacks spanked your little Vol Ass don't be a hater. He He He

 

There ya go Arkansaw!!! Go Hogs

 

On to the next state. Tennessee was pleasant, but long. Might stay around reading PA tonight, a friend lives there.

Back on the road....

 

Almost through Virginia. And I saw an old truck.

 

Holy crap, I'm only about a half hour West of Reading. Wish I would've known you're here , I'd buy you a beer . Staying IN the city , out in the outskirts ?

You're making good time !

 

Safe travels!

There is a potential NJ Transit strike starting Sunday morning - latest is it may get delayed 24 hours. This would choke all motor vehicle entry to the city big-time. Check ahead and see - hopefully it gets resolved.

Simply awesome.

 

Save travels Jim

 

thanks! stopped for the night. I guess the big city adventure begins in the morning. Should be fun!

oh...I finally saw an old (mid 60s) chevy truck driving down the freeway in West Virginia.

 

Made it to my neck of the woods ? I'll keep a cold one for you on your return trip ...

 

Keep on truckin,

 

Good luck with the trip into the city and the competition.

 

Good Luck in the city, I've never been there but I hear it's a zoo.

 

So far so good right Jim. Can't wait to hear how the competition turns out! I'm guessing the entry into the city and set up will be the most stressful event so far. Have FUN watching the kids enjoy themselves! Joe

 

Remember to check the roof height in the parking garage. Bob

 

Another gorgeous day in the NYC area today, enjoy the trip and keep us posted!

 

Made it to the city. Only two blocks from the Lincoln tunnel exit to the hotel. I got to leave the suburban in the garage with the guys who don't speak much English. Well see what happens.

 

A couple pics

 

Tip them real good and it will be fine. Glad the Lincoln worked for you. Enjoy the madness.

 

glad you made it, tell me, how many miles is one way from home to NY?

2600 on the odometer. Probably really 2550.
