My point is this:
I learned a long time ago if I don't enjoy something anymore, or it makes me miserable I give it up. Seriously. It's got to be bad for your health. Why do something that gives you anxiety and make you feel bad?
No "wiser" word has been given than this!
Couple of yrs ago I mentioned to my DW that I didn't know how much longer I was going to be able to drag a RV behind me. Traffic over the yrs has increased, lots of folks disrespectful of other motorists trying to cut in front of me and so on..
All that and at the time I was around 50..
The back story however is my job was very stressful with very short deadlines to get my job done, my commute was an hr each way (100 miles daily), I was up at 5AM to get to work on time at 7AM then get home by 4:30PM.. And that was when the weather was good or no one throws it away in a traffic accident making me late for work.. In the winter time I often had to get up at 4:30AM in order to plow the driveway to make sure my DW and DD and myself could get out of the driveway..
2 weeks ago, finally had enough of my job and left it.. Now considering myself semi retired and not really looking for another job.. Been the best thing I could have done!
Now I am looking forward to resetting my life and drag that trailer behind my vehicle next summer..
For the OP, there are other routes possible, I have never considered using I95 because I have talked to other folks who have mentioned it is a very heavily traveled high speed route..
If you were closer to the western side of PA, I would have suggested I79 to I19 to I77 and when you cross SC border you can take Route 9 East (9 is confusing as it meanders) towards the SC coast to MB (we have a bunch of turns to bypass some small towns on that road I can't remember off hand).
To use I79 South in PA, you would have to take PA Turnpike West or find a route that would get you across to it below PA.. Would add considerable amount of time and mileage from Reading PA you have listed on your profile.
