NOTIFICATION SQUAD: To miss the Natsuki cameo in this video would be a crime! Well folks, you can't beat a good road trip and this was easily one of the most fun videos I've produced in 9 years. A HUGE thanks to my best American friend PETE for coming along for the ride (even if his motives were questionable). You can find him over on Twitch where he streams most nights (🌟www.twitch.tv/premiertwo ) and I look forward to stopping by and doing some shows with him in a few weeks to celebrate surviving our journey.

@@AbroadinJapan Chris you may not get this refrence but "for the mug" is a journey I understand. See in Elite Dangerous there's a station called Hutton Orbital out near Proxima Centauri. The problem is you can't just jump to Proxima Centauri, you have to jump to Alpha Centauri, then fly in Supercruise for 70+ minutes. So Hutton Orbital sells a commiserative mug. There's also a near by beacon that's called "For The Mug" and if you scan it, the beacon tells the history of Hutton Orbital, the mug, and the Hutton Truckers(a group of independent long haul space freight carriers).
