August 24-27, 2001: Travel Page 6

The remainder of the East Coast trip was anti-climactic to a degree.  I spent a couple of days in Manhattan with Justin and Carla, but they were both half-busy with work and I'd just seen them at the reunion.  I had been wanting to take some video driving into New York City; the skyline is quite impressive and I got some shots of that going into the city on August 22, having no idea how much the world would be changed there in less than three weeks...

I left New York City out the Holland Tunnel late in the morning on the 24th, going out the Turnpike Extension and staying on Interstate 78 going west.  After going through a part of New Jersey and into Pennsylvania, I stopped in Breezewood for some of the night.  This trip would be retracing the route I took in my first trip of the summer back at the end of June.

Off I-78 somewhere in Pennsylvania on the 24th

in the Washington, PA area by the West Virginia
panhandle early on the morning of the 25th

The next day, I drove the rest of the Pennsylvania Turnpike as far as Interstate 70, which I then took west through Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois into the St. Louis area, where I found Interstate 44 and took it diagonally across Missouri to Marshfield where I stopped that afternoon for some sleep.

On the 26th, I got most of the rest of the way -- to Flagstaff, Arizona by way of Interstate 40 going through Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, and Albuquerque.

On the 27th, I finished off the trip, getting back into San Diego around lunchtime.
