If I can get to a place

that has reception

so I can at least

send an update.

I'm probably gonna figure

out where I'm staying

so when I get to the city,

somewhere that has

a place to stay,

I don't want to be

driving too late at night

or otherwise Hoosick

and I will just be stuck

sleeping in the car.

On this road basically

nobody leaves anybody stranded.

So if you broke

down on this road

you could flag down a car

[Erin] Somebody would

stop and help you?

Absolutely.

[Erin] That car

way ahead of me,

I pulled over for a second

and they was passing me.

I waved to them to see

if they would stop but

it was a woman driving,

she looked right at me

and didn't stop.

There's a tractor trailer

coming maybe I'll see if they

can give me some help here.

Ok so I tried flashing

the tractor trailer down

and they didn't stop either.

Flashed my lights and

they didn't stop.

I just saw another sign

for Contact Creek Lodge

and I see it here on my left.

Doesn't look like it's open.

I'm gonna stop and see.

This place has there

business hours are from

seven AM to nine PM.

It's only 9:
15 so I just

missed it by 15 minutes.

I'm sure Sonya is panicking and

completely distressed right now.

And I have no way

of calling her.

Just leaving

this hotel that is not open

and there is a bear

walking across the street.

Obviously that doesn't

make me feel good knowing

bears are gonna be

coming up to my car.

So I don't know what to do.

I'm gonna drive to the next

place to see if there's a hotel.

I just want to pick you up

Pick you up and run you off

But there all

That

All that's (unclear)

I just woke up it's right before

six o'clock in the morning

so I got four hours of sleep.

From what I heard I have

about an 18 hour drive today.

I have a little less than

three quarters tank in my

gas tank, so I'm gonna

fill up right here.

So like a total idiot I

was getting gas and then

talking to some

people next to me

and I drove off and

completely forgot the ...

I didn't put the gas thing back.

I drove off with it

still attached to my car,

The guy in the white

truck behind me

told me, I asked

him what should I do

since I just did that

and he said go to the

Three Bears grocery store up

the street and let them know.

I think you're really

encouraging people to use

a really bad word by using

that on your car and you're

progay, lesbian, whatever

you got to get that off there.

Well if they start

calling you a fag

you'd know you want to

know what that means.

There's no other definition

for fag that I know of

then being

I guess gay or

not being normal.

If you know that my

weakness is being gay

then, which I'm not, but

I'm just saying if you did

then you know that's my

weakness and you keep

messing with me I'm

finna find out what your

weakness is and I'm

finna f*** with you!

One thing I'm

really happy about is

the fact that my car hasn't

had any mechanical problems.

I'm very thankful that

the good 'ole fagbug is

pushing through and so far,

holding up like a champ.

If you break down,

I don't know how they'd do it,

obviously you'll have

it fixed somehow.

But it's a very

difficult situation.

I guess if I'm gonna break

down, I'll have a pretty view.

My wheels really

tight right now.

It needs to be filled up.

It must be out of fluid.

I got out and checked

the power steering

for my car, just to see

what's going on with it and

I just filled it up less

than 20 minutes ago.

and I just checked it,

it was completely empty.

I filled it all the

way up to the top so

(mumbles) it's been

leaking but it's obviously

something more

severe has happened.

The parts of the lines is

over $500 so it's something

I've been putting off just

because they said you can

keep filling it up and

for the last year or two,

that's been working so

what a time for something

further to develop with that.

Trying to turn around,

let's see how difficult

it is to turnaround with

my wheel like this,

my steering wheel,

It's not going to be easy.

We're gonna get there Hoosick,

we're gonna get there.

Tell me you don't know why

You can't fall asleep at night

Everything looks just fine

But you're in need of a life

There's a dog on the side of

my car that won't let me go.

Every time I try to go he's

running in front of my car.

He's not letting me leave.

I gotta go and I feel

like I'm gonna hit him.

I'm sorry dog, gotta go.

You can't keep up with my car.

You're a car, you're a dog.

I gotta go, go away.

Far away from here and we run

Far away from here

And we ran far away from here

Say that you're out of line

Fall a bit short this time

Who knows if

you're wrong or right

But you're in need of a life

Oooh

Oooh

And we ran

Far away from here

And we ran

Far away from here

And we ran

Far away from here

And we ran

Ooooh

Ooooh

Now traffic has stopped

in the middle of nowhere.

There's a makeshift stop light

and I'm guessing there's some

kind of construction ahead but

I've been sitting here

for over five minutes now.

We got another truck

coming so I hope these

dumpsters load and we'll be

able to go in a few minutes.

About 100 cars have

passed me on this trip.

There's finally a car

ahead of me that's going

way slower than I'm driving

so first car I'll be passing

on this entire trip.

Where are we now?

[Voiceover] Almost into

the border of Alaska.

[Erin] Where are

you guys coming from?

[Voiceover] New Mexico.

[Erin] Oh really and

you wanted to come over

and take a picture

of my car, how come?

[Both] 'Cause,

we're supportive.

(mumbles) I made it to

the border for Alaska.

Finally, we're here.

Been something I've been

wanting to do for six years.

The fact that you've

made it to the 50th state

is pretty incredible.

All 50 states and you went a

long way to get to this one.

I mean, it is an epic

drive to make it.

And you know it's well worth the

credit that you

get for doing it.

[Erin] So you think

for my 50th state it's,

with my car, you think it's

a good thing that I did that

as a finale kind of thing?

Oh, I think you

earned your badge.

Coming up to Alaska, yeah!

[Erin] The car has taught

me a lot about myself

and my own strengths,

my capabilities

and people told

me my whole life,

certain things in

my innate nature,

that I was crazy or messed

up and I've lived a lot of

my life questioning

myself, unsure of myself

and not that confident.

This project really

made me realize that

all those things that

I've had all these years

weren't weaknesses, they

were always strengths

and it just makes everything

about me that so much crazier,

off the kilter, out of

the box, it takes all that

packs it up in a package and

makes it look really good.

[Voiceover] The one,

the only fagbug right here

from the streets of New York.

Come on give her some love!

Took me 90 hours to

get here from Seattle

driving nonstop over five
