Northeast Trip Help
This summer I am taking my family of 4 (wife and 2 daughters 11&14) from Louisville, KY up through the northeast. I am driving my expedition towing at 26' TT. We have 15 days leaving June 19-July 3r...

So I don't know if I need to move this over to roads & routes but I do have a few questions about which roads are toll and which are not.
So my plan was to leave Louisville and go through Charleston, WV and across I-68 to I-70 go around Baltimore and up I95 to the KOA. I was trying to skip the I-76 Penn toll road.
Take 95 in to NYC.
Leaving NYC, I think we are going to be leaving late morning 10-11ish. I was planning on routing over the tappen zee (sp?) bridge to avoid the GW bridge. Follow I95 up to Foxboro.
And I guess pretty much stay on 95 in to Maine.
Most of my day drives up the NE are fairly short <300 miles per day. So if I need to extend a drive to avoid a big toll I am willing. If we are talking a couple bucks, I'm not too worried about that.
DrewE, you suggested skipping 90 coming home from Albany to NY state line by taking 88-86. I guess those aren't tolled? It doesn't look too much longer. Wonder if there are any National Park stops along any of that section.
Again, thank you guys for all the help. We are really excited to take our girls to this part of the country. They are in the 8th/5th grade and currently both studying the revolutionary war in their schools. It will be a lot of fun to take them to some of the real places where history took place.
Now I just need to start working on them for that early wake up call to do sunrise on Cadillac Mtn. Sunrise is really early on june 28/29th.
