We used to drive up to NH via I-95, last time we took I-81. We will NEVER take I-95 again.
As I recall, we went north on I-95 to South Carolina, cut west on I-26, than North on I-81. Off on I-84 to the MassPike and all that.
Ever so much nicer than 95, Jersey Turnpike, GW bridge, etc. If there's no traffic on either of the routes, the I-81 is about 2 hours longer but when was th.e last time you saw no traffic on 95?
and if you use 301 to get to I-10, make sure you drive the EXACT speed limits in the towns of Lawtey and Starke. Seriously...exact speed limit or a tad less.
Great mountain views on the I-81 route too, beautiful farms in Pennsylvania, check out the huge wind farms and the little gas fracking installations.
And they're building a huge plant to convert natural gas into diesel and jet fuel somewhere in Louisiania. They figger that the cost at the pump for diesel will be about 2 bucks a gallon (less taxes). We've got so much natural gas in this country that we'll be exporting it to Japan in a couple of years. But I digress.
