Five guys left Seattle a little more than a week ago, determined to take a Segway - one of those battery-powered scooters - across the country in 80 days or so.
They're calling their trip "America at 10 mph" and are documenting it online with text and videos at www.10mph.com.
As of today, they've covered 301.5 miles and are in Dayton, Wash.
The Segway needs a battery change about every hour and they've made 32 battery changes. The batteries take about 7 hours to recharge, so they have a support vehicle full of camera gear, the four non-riders and charging batteries creeping down the blue highways in search of America.
They say they've had 127 invitations to stay with people. At 10 mph on something as unusual as a Segway, you can't help but meet a lot of people.
