My current intended route is to go to the Elk Lodge in Cherry Hill and thence down to Baltimore. Or in other words, we are leaping from the frying pan into the fire. Even more likely from insanity to insanity. Once we leave Baltimore (Pikesville actually) we may just escape to the comfort of a mountain dirt road south of Charlottesville VA. At least there is only one route, hard to take a wrong turn, not impossible but hard.
I will vouch for the antiquity of the NJ roads. Some seem to wander about with very little purpose, like 202. Even the NJP seems to take on various different Interstate numbers, like a chameleon. The NY Thruway limits itself to just a couple - I 90 and I 87. I know one could quibble and claim that I290 in the Niagara region is also a NY Thruway section.
