what route are you taking?

I-84, Taconic, I-90, & I-87 to exit 20 to GEL. Leaving Weston between 9 & 9:30 am. If we end up pulling the trailer (I hope not) I-84 to I-87. Want to meet up? We could meet in Brewster & go from there. I will know tonight if we are pulling the trailer. I will PM you & let you know.

Why the route change if pulling the trailer? This will be our first time ever towing anything anywhere. Is there a trailer restriction on I-90?

No trailer restriction on I-90. We are not pulling the trailer so we will be taking I-84 West in CT/NY take the Taconic State Parkway North to I-90, then West on I-90 to I-87 North to Six Flags exit 20 off of I-87. Leaving Weston CT @ 9:30 am. There is a rest stop on I-84 We could meet at the rest stop on I-84 which is a few miles past the sign at the top of a hill that reads Elevation 900 some-odd feet around 10:15 am. White 2013 RT Limited CT Plate VETVN.

Edit 5pm: Can't pull the trailer on the Taconic Parkway so we made everything fit on the RT. The Taconic is MUCH more scenic than I-87 but watch out for NY state troopers. They are VERY AGGRESSIVE on the Taconic.
