Maureen Coulter and her family had some unexpected houseguests this weekend. Coulter received a call from a group of twenty-somethings last week who had given up their corporate jobs to travel cross country on a Segway scooter, asking for a place to stay.
You know a vehicle has arrived when somebody decides to drive it from coast to coast in the United States and make a documentary about his experience. But until now, no one has ever attempted the 6,900-kilometre trek on an electric scooter.
In early August, three film makers set out from Seattle to make America at 10 mph, a documentary about a road trip on a scooter known as a Segway. Filmmaker Josh Caldwell has been navigating the scooter. NPR’s Liane Hansen checks in with Caldwell at about the midway point on his journey, in Norton, Kansas.
5280, the popular monthly entertainment magazine in Denver, CO ran a nice spot on America at 10 mph. They spoke about the project and even mentioned Alby, as this edition included a Pet Guide.
While most people ride Segway scooters for fun or to run short errands, Josh Caldwell is on a bigger mission. He’s taking his scooter on a cross-country trip, rolling him on the longest-known trek of its kind, from Seattle to Boston.
