He might be 350 miles behind by his schedule, but if the math is right, he's got this thing done in 57 hours at his present pace. :thumbsup:

Yeah, it's a concrete corn cob. So?
Thankfully I was not taking a sip of coffee when I read this.
But notice that he did say that it was a huge one.

MPH looks fine for a late-night finish, or a 6-hour nap and an early morning finish. The ride does have "Sunrise" in the title.
Sending good vibes your way, brother!

How are you paying tolls on the NY Thruway? Got an EZ-Pass?
...................................................................................................
Looks like the Mass Pike to Worcester, then I-290 to I-495 to I-95. Wonder if he's taking ME 11 or US 1 to Madawaska? ME 11 is scenic, but remote, and moose wander about at all hours of the day.

Wondering if he's gonna take Rt9 east out of Bangor to Eastport? He's getting close now. Go Tony!
I cannot find any 24 hour stations in Eastport.
But the travel centers rock!
Gonna sleep here tonight

He's got my NC Quickpass, which is good for Sunpass, EZ Pass, Peachpass, and of course NC Quickpass:
https://www.myncquickpass.com/en/home/index.shtml
However, it's been problematic. It's been saying no funds when the account has a $40 positive balance. I was on the phone with them yesterday and thought I got it straightened out, but got a text from him last night that it refused it again. Of course, the NC Quickpass folks don't have 24 hr customer service, but I did verify - once again - that it had a positive balance and the credit card info was good, so dunno what's up. I'll call again here in another hour or so and see what's up.
EDIT: wanted to add, it did work good on the way up to NY and heading westward. (Dang those NY and adjacent tolls are high!) The problem surfaced on the way back day before yesterday, well, @ 1 am yesterday morning more accurately.

Way to go Tony.. Congrats!
Yes, I see that.
It looks like he spent the night in a I-95 rest stop just south of Bangor.
Mission accomplished on the Sunset to Sunrise.
36 degrees on the way here. Now for a nice ride into Madawaska. I am enjoying Maine in the daylight! Previous times have all been night time.
I think there is too much construction on I95 to have any shot at the last ride, but I will attempt it anyway. Going to get some food in Madawaska !
And I am hungry for pie....
