Great information and replies so far. I appreciate it all! You all are awesome.

Any Rest Stops/Truck Stops/Travel Centers you prefer or stay away from? We'll probably stop at a few for a bit of sleep and of course some fueling up along the way.

Look for Pliot/Flying J in NE Ohio. If possible avoid getting fuel in PA ($$$$). Pilot's in NY are on ave about 40-50 cents more per gallon on diesel than if you know where the locals go. I know that doesn't help you much....LOL

But if you come across 17/86 to Binghamton to 81 N to 88 East, am not sure, but may be a diesel stop near the Salmanca Reservation on western end of 17/86. Otherwise, Smokies/TA at bottom of 390 where it meets up with 17/86. Hickory Run campground very close by here as well. Nice place.

On 88, Exit 12 (just before Oneonta) is a private truck stop, but many stop there and I think they have decent parking. Last exit on 88 just before getting onto 90 is a Pilot. Not a whole lotta room to park. IMO, you'd be better off doing 2 things if you can get past here. 1. Either stop at the Guilderland service plaza (McD's) on 90 for fuel and place to park (approx 6 miles once on 90 E). 2. Stop at Scotty's Truck stop on 87 (Northway), exit 16---36 miles north of Albany. Lots of parking, fuel prices probly between the Pilot and service plaza. Resturant on site too. After here, you have the 3 CG's mentioned on 149 but DrewE will have to chime in for fuel stops (assuming you have a diesel) once past Scotty's.

88 is 119 miles long w/ Oneonta being about 1/2 way between Bing and Albany. Albany to Lake George is about 50 miles. Really not too sure about CG's along 88.
