    Question Homecoming, will We run into traffic on this route from NJ

    Hello Spyder Folk,

    Leaving from home at 3:00 AM in NJ to avoid traffic on the parkway. Taking the detour on 287 to avoid parkway traffic in North Jersey on the parkway (Lost an hour last trip north). Does anyone familiar with this route know where we may run into traffic?

    Thanks,
    Louie and Meg

    Not bad once you get above the Woodbury. We are coming from Virginia and will be coming up through Binghamton NY and then route 88 catching 87 north. We are heading out tomorrow morning taking out time though.....but the way back I will do in 1 day.

    Depending on the rush hour timing you may run into traffic on 287 near the I78 interchange and again around the I80 interchange.

    I'm assuming you're heading up on Thursday? There's a group of us meeting on the Northway exit 10 (just north of Albany) at about 10:30 AM. If you can time that right you're more than welcome to join us for the rest of the trip.

    IMHO ... Due to the number of Spyders entering at around the same time period .... Customs could be where there may be a bottle neck ........... Mike

    Are you guys planning on heading North toward Montreal, and then hanging a hard right-hand turn?
    The traffic up there could be... interesting!

    Roger,
    Yes Thursday! Thanks for the invite, just looked up on the map and we should be going past Clifford Park rest area around 8:00 AM. If we get delayed for some reason, we will look for your group. If you want to exchange cell numbers PM me.

    Take Care,
    Louie and Meg

    There was a slight change of plans; now we're gong to meet at 9:30 AM instead of 10:30 AM. I'm going up this afternoon to stay with a friend tonight so I don't have to get up at dark o'clock tomorrow.
