Location

90 meters from US-202, north of Princeton

Participants

Jevanyn and possibly Mike O.

Plans

Driving to Philadelphia to see The Secret of Kells this afternoon. I'll have to bring the GPS to make a tracklog.

Expedition

The further south we went, the heavier it rained. Driving through Mercer County, and Princeton itself, was an exercise in counting downed trees: last weekend's monsoon took down trees by the dozen, many with trunks thicker then my waist.

Since we weren't stopping, I took a video with my phone instead of pictures. I started shooting just before passing Arreton Rd., although the recorder cut off after about a minute, so I'm not sure it captured the closest approach. Will upload soon, either to Facebook or Picasa.

Link(s) to video

Coming soon

Ribbons

Jevanyn earned the Speed racer achievement

by passing through the (40, -74) geohash on 2010-03-22 at the maximum legal speed.
