Re: Best Route from Wildwood SP Wading River, NY
Unless you are planning to do sightseeing on Long Island I would search for campgrounds in New Jersey or Westchester County in New York. Wildwood is a quite a distance from NYC for sight-seeing. If you plan on touring Long Island it's not a bad choice. To get to Wildwood your lesser of the evils is taking the George Washington bridge to the cross Bronx to the throggs neck bridge. All congested and bumpy. Take the clear view expressway to 495E out to,William Floyd parkway and then north to either 25 or 25 A not sure which to get to wildwood. FYI the William Floyd parkway should be the only parkway you should try to use. Trailers and RV's are a definite no no on Most NY parkways. Good luck and stay alert!389Views0likes0CommentsBW's that don't drive
Just want to share an experienc we had. Owned our 5er for ten years and when we first got it I kidded my wife into learning the basics and even had her highway driving a few times.She did a good job but not quite comfortable with it.We moved to Florida 8 years ago and almost imediately her health issues curtailed our rving. Finally last year we got back on the road and made a few trips with me driving as usual. This year we went back to Long Island for a visit (avoid the BQE)while there I injured my left arm and lost the use of it for a while anyway. Although she hadn't driven the trailer in over 9 years my WW said she could do it if I could manage the fuel stops. Which we did. After the first hour or so she took to it like a duck to water and did most of the driving all the way back to Florida.In fact although when I was driving 62 was fast enough she had no problem doing 70! What I'm trying to convey is that you wives shouldn't be afraid to get behind the wheel when conditions allow as you never know when you might have to do so out of necessity! Good luck and safe travels, Mike & Lou-Anne3.7KViews0likes17Comments
