@Railer505 The video is 16 frames per second, and I took a picture every 10 seconds. I only paused the video when I stopped, so speed calculations should be unaffected.
Very cool, thanks for posting. I pretty much drove the entire stretch from the beginning of this vid to about 1:55 (I go to college near Albany) in the wee hours of the morning back in 9/2008 (you can see my vids from Montreal and at the bar in Rouses Point, NY). Are the signs advising of no cell service for 64 miles on the Northway still up?
@shzzztodanizz 222*16 = 3552 frames, so if each frame = 10 seconds that would be 35,520 seconds or 9.87 hours. Kind of hard to guess your travel time based on extrapolating 22 seconds of a known distance.
@shzzztodanizz LMFAO that im assuming its a shell station. i almost blew up the rental truck ( teh 24ft box truck) there. had to buy a gallon of oil at a c-store = not cheap lol. Ohhhthank you for the reminiscing. all in all a pleasant trip
Lemme see how many locations in this vid I can identify: 0:03 Pont Champlain/A-15 exit, 0:21-0:22 Signs advising of customs booths 8.0/4.4 km, 0:25 Border (obvs), 0:41 Intersection b/w NY-190 and NY-3 in Plattsburgh, 0:47 Sign for Albany 153 Montreal 64, 1:12 Cell Phone service advisory, 1:54 Thadeus Cosciusko Bridge, 2:01 Getting on NYS Thruway at Exit 23, 2:57 A bridge that's in danger of collapsing (lol), 3:09 Major Deegan/Harlem River crossing I'll fill in more later when I think of them.
@shzzztodanizz Yeah, it was kind of funny but on that Saturday night back then me and a friend skipped town (Troy, New York) to drive north for the hell of it. Lo and behold, we ended up stopping in Montreal and then turned back for home. It's cool on the Autoroute you see a sign saying "160 km/h = 10 points" - I wonder what 10 points does to a Quebecers' drivers license?
I'm trying to figure out the time lapse ratio in this vid... it takes from 0:03 to 0:25 (22 s) to travel the 56.3 km from the middle of the bridge to the border (according to Google Maps). I'm guessing if you averaged a decent 120 km/h in that stretch you would come to 28.2 minutes for that stretch. 28.2 minutes/22 seconds = 76.7:1. So a length of 3:42 or 222 seconds, 76.1*222 = 17044 seconds or 4.73 hours. That's a little fast; I'm guessing you stopped and started the vid at some points.

Love it
@Railer505 some bonus points: 0:05 a ship stuck sideways in the seaway, 0:35 lost in Plattsburgh, 1:58 missed my turn to the Thruway

@Railer505 Yeap the signs for no cell service are still up. I checked my phone, and lo and behold I didn't have any service.
How many tolls did you pass?
cool, but would have been prettier during the summer or something :P
