jules2go Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hello expert travelers and route planners, I've been through this mess of roads before many times and it's never fun, but looking for suggestions on best way to navigate this in your opinion. I was northbound on this route (actually NC to Maine) in November and took 81 to 82 which went through the Poconos. This time I'd rather avoid the Poconos because of potential for bad weather, and thinking to somehow go closer to NYC (but not too close!). I'll be going through there on a Sunday. Towing a small trailer. Also do you have a favorite pet-friendly hotel chain or two? I need to do a hotel the first two nights as I'm not winterized, unfortunately. Thank you.

Kirk W Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 In that case I think that I'd take I78 to I287. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years...... Now seasonal travelers.Kirk & Pam's Great RV Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you will want to get to 287 from Boston but around NY city this is my route.

Second Chance Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 We usually cross the river up at Newburgh on I-84 and turn south somewhere in PA to avoid everything. I particularly like traveling through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area when taking this route.

BusDreamer Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Agree on 84 through Newburgh to --> 87 84 around Waterbury CT last I was through there about a year ago finally was pretty good. So from Boston MA I would use either MA Pike to 84 OR MA Pike to 395 to CT Casinos on to Newburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
