USRoute 20 vs I-90 New York.

There may be other low clearance also, like near Canandaigua, near Alden....

20 is nice but is slow at times but depending on time of year could be fun with all the roadside farm stands.
20A is to be avoided as a very low clearance on 20A west of Interstate 390.

No major reason. Just thought it would be nice to skip the tolls, and catch some better scenery. But 90 to 86 sounds good. Will look into it. Thanks

Was that just for 2 axles? I drove the motorhome and toad (4 axles) from Buffalo to the Mass line several years ago and it was nearly $50.

Dave I checked online. From Buffalo to Mass line is now $69 for 4 axles.

20 is a decent scenic route, but MANY small towns, stop light/signs, and low speed limits.
