2022 Pilot Trip
In the summer of 2022, we embarked upon our pilot trip from New York City to South Carolina. Our group included students from these metropolitan area schools:
Bay Ridge Prep
Beacon High School
Brooklyn Tech
Greenwich High School (CT)
We took Amtrak from Moynihan Hall in New York City to Charleston, SC, where we started our journey before continuing to Columbia and finishing in Greenville. From Greenville, we took Amtrak back to Moynihan Hall.

Our Train Ride
"For all of our enormous geographic range, for all of our sectionalism, for all of our interwoven breeds drawn from every part of the ethnic world, we are a nation, a new breed. Americans are much more American than they are Northerners, Southerners, Westerners, or Easterners....This is not patriotic whoop-de-do; it is carefully observed fact.
— John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America (1962)
