Anyone up for 8:00 am Tuesday from the rest stop just west of 290 and the pike ?

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.

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

Scott: Dianne and I are leaving Maine at 6am should be at Sturbridge between 8 & 8:30 am. We are getting off at Exit 42 and taking Rt14 to Watkins Glen.

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 ?

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

Thanks Bruce; 
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.

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

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

Greetings - 
 
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)..... 
 
Best,
