What time?

Post by brucesallen » Sat Jun 25, 2005 9:03 am

8 is too early for me coming from NH- given that it is not too long a drive and it looks like we may not be able to get in until 6 pm according to Herb. I'll be swinging by there about 9:30.<br>

Let's see what the concensus is. It's about a 9 hour tow with the normal stops - right ?<br>

Do we have electricity at Watkins Glen ? Also I'm still undecided which route to take , Rt. 90 to exit 41 or 42 (Ft. 14 or Rt414) or the hilly route (Rt.88-Rt81-Rt17). My trailer is very heavy (11,000#) I don't have one of those little 4 cylinder cars. Any sugestions on which route ?<br>

Route

Post by brucesallen » Mon Jun 27, 2005 10:25 am

Heavy trailers will definitely want to go all the way on 90.<br>
The hilly way is more fun and maybe shorter.<br>

Thanks Bruce;<br>
The tolls to exit 41 from the Ma line are $15.90 each way. Don P. thinks Rt. 88 is better -- I know it is about 15 miles shorter.<br>

Dan i have been all 3 ways and pulling my trailer i find that I-90 to exit 41 o42 is easier. Craig H.

My 2 cents

Post by mgeldart » Mon Jun 27, 2005 2:49 pm

Personally 9:30 would be good for me. It should put us there between 6 and 7 PM.<br>

WGI is ~ 5 hours from Charlton

Post by boltonite » Mon Jun 27, 2005 4:29 pm

I drove out Sunday - left Bolton MA at 11 am and arrived at Watkins Glen ~ 5pm, stopping twice (at the Charlton and Lee service plaza) for fuel. I was towing an enclosed trailer and went I90 -> I88 -> Rt 14.

Leaving the Charlton Plaza at 9:30A will get one at WGI NLT 4:30P with the appropriate empty "tank", fill tank stops. (a tad over 70 mph required).....<br>
