California to New York: A Complete Road Trip
This is a complete road trip compilation from Santa Monica, California, to New York City over eight days from June to September, 2017 -- all recorded in time-lapse at 4 frames per second (nearly 100,000 frames in all).Of the 3,253 miles (5,235 kms) driven, only 3 miles of this trip is missing, mostly in Colorado near Poncha Springs. Nearly all of this drive was done by day, but there are about 10 minutes done in the dark in Arizona (1:00:00 to 1:10:00). The weather was good for the most part, except between Pennsylvania and the Bronx, before clearing up in Manhattan.
This trip also includes driving through the solar eclipse of August 21 in Nebraska (~3:30:00), as well as driving over the old Tappan Zee Bridge in upstate New York, which permanently closed a month later with the opening of the new Mario M. Cuomo Bridge adjacent to it.
