Day one is finished! Did about 540 miles today, Samantha drove the whole way to Pennsylvania and did a fine job getting us here in one piece. We went through six states today - New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and now we're here in Carlisle, PA for the night at our first Motel 6 of the trip. This one is pretty decent, it has an actual lobby instead of some dude behind a sheet of bulletproof glass, so that's a nice touch.
Mostly smooth sailing, no real problems with much of anything. We got a bit "misplaced" in NY thanks to one part being passenger cars only, so we had to reroute a bit to get where we needed to be. Drove through a small town with some nice houses while we tried to figure out how to get back on the highway. The detour took us probably about 45 minutes or so, but no biggie. We're here in one piece and we're all still talking to each other, so that's a pretty good sign after what's supposed to be the hardest day of the trip.
On a side note - Pennsylvania highways have a boatload of lightning bugs. It's pretty boss. Thousands of them.
We haven't done any video yet, but maybe we'll shoot something in the morning and post it up tomorrow night. There's a picture of a supremely handsome gentleman standing next to a Penske truck, so maybe that'll work it's way on here sooner or later. That's all for now. Bed time. We've got more driving to do tomorrow, as it turns out. Whoodathunkit?

Hope that now that you all have day #1 of driving under your belts you will be able to relax a little and enjoy the ride the rest of the way. Here's to smooth sailing from here on out.
