Wow, what a day. Got up at 5 a.m., got home 10:30 p.m. Drove 360 miles in total, from home to Greenfield MA starting point, then 135 mi. to downtown Boston, then back to CT at night.
I recharged the deep cycle batteries at the Solar Store of Greenfield and again at GreenFest, for the trip home.
I would do it again. It would hope for these changes:
1) Have the One Gallon Challenge (OGC) on a Saturday. GreenFest runs all day Fri & Sat with Thurs really as a setup day for displays and vendors etc. Organizers hope the cars and drivers will stay for Fri and Sat to be met and seen by the public. If we arrive Sat afternoon we can meet the public without taking two days off work with all the expenses of overnight travel. I came home Thurs evening and worked Friday, am not trekking back to Boston Saturday (tomorrow).
2) Permit drivers to start at a location of their own choosing, with a suggested driving distance and a recommendation to use scenic state roads in preference to interstates. I met two other OGC drivers at GreenFest and neither had started at either of the two designated start points.
