I'll post details as it gets closer of course

When I went in '07 I left NYC around 3AM and got into Montreal just in time for check in. The easiest 6hr drive of my life! Please post details when the time comes, it would be cool to drive up with a crew.

I'm planning on going if everything works out correctly with my schedule. I have to be in Ca the following weekend for my Brothers wedding.

. For you NYC guys, you could always hook up with us at the 78/81 intersection. There are always people joining our group along the way.

It would make sense for the NYC guys to meet you in Scranton at the 84/81 junction. Google maps only adds 13 minutes taking 80 west out of the city to 81 or another 30 minutes going north out of the city to 84 and taking 84 west to 81 in Scranton.

Hmmm...
