Mt. Tremblant Caravan Plan

deimos · Post by **deimos** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 4:45 pm

Shall the Boston-area crew meet somewhere along the way on 95N Wednesday, August 2nd? Having never been to Mt. Tremblant, meeting somewhere on 95N, say the rest stop in Concord between Rt. 2 and 4 would be good for me.

8 AM meet up, hopefully after fuel and food we leave by 9?

We are going to be driving North during rush hour on 95/93, but most of it is Southbound.

I'm open to alternatives.

What route will people be traveling? I'd like to hook up with youse guys, don't know if it makes sense for me to go to Boston first. Maybe I could meet you somewhere around the 91 merge in St Johnsbury? Anyone else coming from the Hartford/Springfield area? Carl?

My nav system wants me to go 95N to 93N to 89N through Montreal.

OK, that crosses 91 at White River Junction - I'd just need an ITA.

I'll probably be heading out mid morning closer to noon. Would love to caravan, but not sure that I want to get up that early for a 5 hour drive. Plus theres less traffic later anyways.

I'd still like to get there early enough to drop the trailer and maybe do a track walk again. I didn't get that much track time last year. Seemed like it was longer than 5 hours - though I was riding in a Miata!

what time were you thinking about getting there with enough time to walk the track?

NEVER go through Montreal after 2 PM. Or add 2 hours to your commute.
Stay south of the border and head West for the next entrance to Canada.

Bruce, exactly what route are you suggesting? Cross via 87? If so, then how do you bypass Montreal? Any specifics?

Thanks,

Jeff

Well, someone suggest a route. I've never been there before so any route is equal at this point.

I do remember the traffic through Montreal as being awful last year - and I'm sure it was later than two.

I'm showing it as being a 7-hour trip to MT - so a 9-10am departure looks like the best idea to hit Montreal around 2.

My mapping sw is showing me going Mass Pike to Albany and then up 87 rather than going up 89. I'd go a little out of my way to hook up with others, I'm thinking Boston is really out of my way.

My trip last year ended up taking about 7 hours. It took me just over 3 hours to get to montreal, and 4 hours to get from montreal to MT. I dont think I got out of 1st gear till we were way outta town. Mind you this was at 9pm at night!

I think I'll leave a litter earlier this time.

TO bypass Montreal:
exit 89 at swanton and take 78 West, across Lake Champlain, to route 2, 223, 11 to RT 87 crossing into Canada on RT 15, left in 30/132, rt on 138 over bridge, left on 20, rt on 13, rt 0n 640, l on 15 and 117 to Mt. Tremblant
