Baystate Jeepers

Coming home from S.C. on 84 was a nightmare ! From the 81 split to the N.Y. line was under const. and it wont be done this year ! They had the east bound lanes in the west bound lanes divided be K barriers. Single lane for miles , then back to the right side . Was traveling through there around 3:30/4:00 pm and it was slow. This side of Newburg, started to thin out. Some of the crossovers were downright sketchy ! The Tractor Trailers were having a good ol time. Just sayin . FjR68

maybe someone can check with AAA for an alternate route?

GW!

That same stretch of 84 was under construction last year too.
It was a bit pokey thru the construction but not bad last year.
Sounds like it may be worse now...

Still the best way to get there. Yes there are miles of the east bound side removed. We ll get there ! FjR68

Perhaps we should leave a day early to be safe....

it is my intention to leave early in the morning, probably by 6am to get ahead of the traffic if anyone else wants to convoy on an early start group.

I may have already taken Tuesday and Wednesday off "accidentally"...

I could head down Tuesday if others are.

Tuesday can work for me. I still prefer an early morning start to get ahead of the traffic.

Hmmm, might work for me . Will need to check work schedule

I'm undecided still, but would like to go and I can still arrange time off from work. But, I would definitely head down on Wednesday and not Tuesday.

I don't think I can do Tuesday; Mark's going to be missing school for these weekdays.

I will be the slow guy you pass wed mornin. I usually leave around 11 am to give you Massasses a head start and we meet somewhere in southern Ct. If wed. crew will post a departure time , its about 1.5/2 hrs to be west of hartford for you. I will hook up with you guys wed. Still going to be 5/5.5 hrs. FjR68
