Although the trip was from New York to San Francisco, I ended up buying the camera and started taking pictures in State College, PA. I used 3 circle stickers on the roof of my car to mark the position for a tripod, and kept the camera attached to the tripod the whole way. I also ended up getting very good at pacing out the same spot in the front of the car :)

I ended up stopping about once every 40 miles or so, although I did some night driving and there was a fair bit of rain, so I wasn't able to get 100% of the pictures taken.

The parts where I took pictures of me jumping were in Nevada, absolutely gorgeous setting.

Cool, on my drive from Seattle to San Diego last summer I had just gotten an auto power cord for my laptop, so I decided to make use of it. I recorded one frame every 30 seconds of the entire drive:

Nice. Seems to be a bit of a genre on youtube, here's a nicely done one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pxCUlvEkQDg&feature=related

Excellent! Way better than mine.

If you had USB GPS receiver, you could have stamped each frame with lat/long, and later overlaid a map with a path that showed your progress onto the video...

I plan to do this in June (moving home to SF after graduation). My video will show me getting laid in every state I visit. We'll see who gets more views.

oh dear. this brings back painful memories. a couple years ago i drove from cali to illinois. starting out it was all nice and beautiful in cali. all this lush green and drizzling rain. then i crossed the mountains into nevada. well everything went to shit there and it never got better. 3 days of dry, repetitive terrain

in short, if you live in california, stay there

i was quite impressed with nevada, not so much with wyoming: got stranded there for 3 days due to a total white out, and thought i was going to end up in the ditch for sure. turns out that traveling 80 in early January isn't the best of ideas.

wow, didn't expect that to be good but it was. I like the bit where you are flying in the air with the mountain in the background :)

cool, but I was really hoping for a cannonball run attempt...
