What do you guys think about this?

maplost has me going this way

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Elmo...c=Suches&2s=GA

now you think it woul dbe shorter/easier to slab 95 down to 85? that was the way we went going to the gap and it seemed to work prety well. Although 85 is boring as hell and there are tons of places for the popo to hide out there. Plus if I take 95 I get hit for tolls on the njtpke, the bridge leaving joisey, and the tunnel through baltimore, plus whatever else is further south.

My Garmin software says 95 south to 85... 20 miles less... but 2 hrs less...

Mr Lefty · 01-04-2009, 07:30 AM

I have it set to avoid tolls and it still says 95 south...

thats odd, with all the tolls on 95. For the njtpke I can jump off at 295 and take that to 195 south, but would have to see about bypassing the bridge out of jersey and avoiding baltimore and DC esp depending on what times I leave.

That link about the cabbott trail has me thinking too, if I dont do any track days this year I may try getting up there.
