Jan and I will be going that route, but we are leaving NJ (RT80/287 intersection) around 9:30 am on Tuesday. Our plan is to tour the Watkins Glen State Park (nice waterfalls, etc) in the afternoon and then go to the dinner.

Doc,

I will be leaving after a meeting in East Rutherford, NJ so I will be going through Scranton and then Binghamton, where we could catch up to the Caravan, but they are leaving so early I may be behind them.

It is a 4 1/2 hour drive per Mapquest from East Rutherford to the winery. Allowing 5 hours for the trip to include peeing, if I leave by 1:00 PM from NJ I still should make it there by 6:00 PM; dinner is at 7:00 PM.

If you or anyone wants to caravan with me, that is my schedule. I may be able to leave a little bit earlier than 1:00 PM. PM me for my cell number and we can see how my timing is working out.

BTW I have a hard time staying at the speed limit so I usually beet the Mapquest time estimates.

Tytus

PS: Roger, why are you allowing 6 1/2 hour for a 4 hour trip? You must pee more than me :redface:.

Tytus, I don't know about you, but I prefer to check into the hotel and clean up and relax a little before dinner. It's 300 miles and usually takes a little more than 4 hours, and while I don't stay at the speed limit, I don't like attracting more attention from the forces that want to extract more revenue per highway mile, if you get my "drift".
Drive safely and I'll see you at dinner!:biggrin:

 

[docjohn]

tytus ,so far The Don is passing my way so that is our caravan ,we'll try to coordinate as best we can by Tues.

 

[Larry Bastanza]

OMG, do we have the RT.17 "7"

 

[RSO 34]

OMG, do we have the RT.17 "7"

If we do, I am giving everyone fair warning that I am going to have to double my pro bono fees this time..........

And to anyone else who happens to find themselves "interacting" with the police just remember the advice I give to all of you predicate felons:

When they give you one phone call, make sure you call for pizza because I will be hungry by the time I come to bail you out.

The tale of two caravans:

If you leave Point A at 12:30 and we leave Point B at 12:00, we all shall meet at Point C around 3:30.
Well, at least that's the plan.
