since we're on the NY road topic, we're going from Owego to Verona. Taking 17E to I-81N. Don't want to get on I-90. Want to cut east at either US20 or NY5. Have plenty of time and enjoy the scenery. Have 34' Class A with toad. Hills not a bother. Or any other routes to consider avoiding freeways and tolls?
One interesting alternative might be NY 96B to NY 13 and thence to NY 5 (or US 20 if preferred). I've only been on a bit of NY 13 over that route at all recently (southwest of I-81); I think the whole of it should be a reasonable route, though, and pretty.
(At first I misread Owego as Oswego and was rather confused by your planned routes....)
