Friday, May 30, 1919

Bright hot beautiful day. Out on trip. Started 8:30. Back 5:30 P.M. In 3 states. N.Y., Mass. & Vt. Fine time. Took picnic dinner. Drove 124.6 miles. Talked on back porch. Took walk. To bed 10:30.

I was intrigued with Stanford's day trip to three states, so I decided to try to plot his route. Apparently the total trip was 124.6 miles. Using Google maps, I was able to measure a 124-ish-mile round trip from Schenectady that would take Stanford to Vermont and Massachusetts. Here's the route I came up with:

As you can see, the three states meet near Williamstown, MA (at C). He may have taken a different route, of course, but he apparently went by himself and took his time, stopping for a picnic lunch on the way. Sounds like fun, especially back then when there were fewer vehicles on the road!
