Day One :
28/8/05



It was cool to start the road trip after so much talkin about it for the last few months. We were in work in the morning for the last time and then after clearing all the stuff out of the house (which included throwing a couch off the balcony) we packed the amazing amount of crap we have into the car (a '94 Dodge Intrepid complete with a power inverter (meaning we have two standard plugs inside the car) and strobe lights (so we can listen to Chemical Brothers the way they were meant to be listened to... that and we can pretend to be the police if someone is annoyin us on the roads..). Both of which we wired in ourselves).

Journey one was//
Left from : Spencer Ave., Somerville, MA (our house) @ 12.55pm
Arrived at : Niagra Falls, Ontario, Canada @ 11.40pm
States we drove through : MA, New York State, Ontario, Canada.
Distance : 494 miles.

The drive itself was fine. The first thing you realise about New York State is that there are an amazing amount of police on the roads. There was an amazing sun set over this huge lake and mountin range about three quarters of the way (see left). Tolls cost 21.45 altogether and we spent
something like 40 dollars on 'gas'.
