So, Guys. What about this idea. At Albany (form Syracuse) taking Highway 9 over to Concord and then the 202 over to Portsmouth? IT may not be the FASTEST way, but again, tolls don't concern me and I've got all kinds of TIME. I'd also bet the country side would me more interesting vs. the interstate.
Please share your thoughts.
Tks
Generally that's a nice enough route. There are some decent hills and curves for sure on VT 9 but nothing too crazy or extreme; it's one of the bigger regional truck routes. It's definitely not as quick a route as the interstates; though in my opinion it's a good bit prettier and more enjoyable.
There is a sizable truck detour for route 9 in New Hampshire due to bridge construction. I'd avoid the "car" detour with an RV. (The truck detour is NH 101 from Keene to US 202 until it joins NH 9.)
New Hampshire has cheaper gas in general than Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York, and in my non-scientific experience seems to typically be cheaper the further west you progress in the state. I don't know offhand how Maine compares. I also don't know if or how well that carries over to diesel.
