Franken-Storm ??

[Rapier]

Suggest you pick spots along your route and call mid week to end of week and see if the roads are passable and stops will be open to receive you. This all is old hat to us here in FL. But, going into a storm effected area a week after, might not be a good plan of attack unless you are selling plywood and roofing material.

Hope you folks in the effected area are ready by now. I expect you will have some power outages and flooding. Perhaps the things done last year will mitigate the effects, but I doubt it. Most times the govt. just patches up what was, so it can do er all over again.

Watch your top knot.

NY has cancelled their conference due to gas shortage.

SC should be find

RI still says "Everything is fine" although the hotel is on a island and only 4 feet above sea level., I have my doubts

looks like the gas problem will cause me to detour inland. Hopefully wont have to cut out the last half of the trip alltogether

Back years ago I used to go up to NH from FL. I also lived in NJ for 3 years. When things were bad I would go up to the Tapan Zee Bridge and cross there. You can get to it by running the Garden State or the NJ Turnpike then turning off to the north. But both run close to the coast, might be better off going up through Allentown and across to Tapan Zee. The juncture of NJ and PA at Trenton, where you catch the S end of the turnpike, might not be good as it is near the coast.

now planning to detour inland. Will have to see how bad the gas situation is to determine just how far from the coast to stay. I did toss a gas can in the van - just in case

Just heard that New Jersey residents are traveling into pennsylvania are far west as quakertown for gas.
If you drive up the middle of Pa you should be fine.
