Nice long trip all over New York state, not really stopping anyplace particular for more than a few minutes. Usually the filmmaker has his camera strapped to the seat of his car as he's driving, so we DO get the passenger side of things. Since this was (apparently) a filmmaker with his own industrial movie company, the film looks better than most home movies. Sbarply edited too, with lovely little "you are here" pencil and map shots.
