Did a Thurs-Sun college visit road trip, which was pretty uneventful for the most part. No interesting vehicle sightings, seeing how it was February in the Northeast and all of the good stuff is still presumably put away for the winter. And the plate sightings were surprisingly dull. The numbers:
1600.2 miles
28 new counties visited
26.5 hours of driving
24 beers imported from PA and NY
8 colleges visited
7 states driven through
2 interesting plates seen (NJ New York Press plate, NY Birthplace of Baseball #118)
1 speeding ticket (79 in 65 in south central NY)
Thursday: Scarborough ME - Haskell NJ
Friday: Haskell NJ - Haverford PA - Lancaster PA - New Brunswick NJ - Bethlehem PA
Saturday: Bethlehem PA - Williamsport PA - Rochester NY - Hamilton NY - Albany NY
Sunday: Albany NY - Bennington VT - Manchester NH - Scarborough ME
The New Brunswick detour was necessary because of the tour schedule at the first two schools, but the traffic from there to Bethlehem on Friday evening was life-shortening. Not because it was stop-and-go, but because it was like a NASCAR race with a bunch of amateurs. Lots of 80mph to 50mph braking, and NASCAR-esque following distances.
Aside from that and the speeding ticket, a remarkably boring and very long trip. "I'm getting too old for this shit."
