Backwards Mountain Quad Adventure to Upstate

was going on a road trip from Long Island NY to someplace pretty far upstate NY with Kyle Gallagher. The only thing was we only had his quad to get there and half the time we had to pedal(maybe just to get it going) to make it move. I took driving first and the trip was pretty damn fun so far. Awesome views and beautiful day. For some reason had to drive down this mountain part backwards by looking in the rear view mirror(not sure how there was one, but remember looking in it) & side mirrors and navigating backwards. Missed one exit after that but not by much so we were able to go off road and get back on(with some heavy pedaling) because we were on a quad. Then not long after, we got off on our exit and it led to these stairs like the ones at the Mets game that you go down to the stadium from the train, but we had to go up. The pedaling was hard and Kyle hopped off at one point to make it easier and we got to the top. Our map/gps said it was going to take something like 16 hours to get there. Not too bad we thought.  Woke up at top of stairs.
