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.
This story from Wired News and the Web site describing these guys’ road trip on a Segway remind me of the old guy in the movie The Straight Story. (What a great film. Probably one of David Lynch’s best.)
I can’t help but imagine the old man going to visit his brother on a Segway instead of a lawnmower. It would have been a completely different movie but I like the idea, visually.
