3:59:38 – Frank, Roel from the Netherlands, Manny the Mailman, and his son Mike meet up for another yearly adventure! Starting at the Liberty State Park Light Rail station in Jersey City, NJ, they travel all the way to the end of the line in Union City, where they find a bizarre work of art in the middle of a parking lot. Then they head back the other way and explore the Newport Center Mall. Then they head to Hoboken, and walk north on the waterfront, discovering many strange things, including a cave and an ancient boat. Then they take the NY Waterway ferry to Manhattan, and take a bus downtown to the World Trade Center. After a hearty Five Guys meal, they head over to the World Financial Center and the Irish Hunger Memorial before heading back to New Jersey on the PATH train. They visit the front of the WFMU building, and then head back to the parking lot, having had a very satisfying journey.
