We're heading to Shenandoa NP, leaving from Portland, ME
My mapping software takes us right through NY city!

I'd like to arrive in Shenandoa still alive.
What routes are better for avoiding the busy city areas?

What are you afraid of? My trips through the Bronx on I95 was one of the most interesting parts of my journeys from MA to SC. A little slow but lots to look at!


Breaking down can be life threatening. It's not a good place.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

I've since given that route up, now going through central Pennsylvania instead. But that's because of the ridiculous high tolls on the NJ turnpike; nothing to do with NYC.

Or you can take I81 to I66 East to Front Royal, Va., and come in the North entrance off US340.
