Best to turn your phone completely off at Hausmans as it will die very quick from searching for a signal constantly.

Matt, coming from Ohio? Look at Interstate 86 along the NY/PA line. I drove it last year and it was a good choice for me. I can't remember if I used NY417 but I think I did? Getting old and "the second thing" is going I guess.

interstate 86 is the old four lane route 17 with the grade crossings removed, 417 is the really old two lane 17.

you can get off 86 at Nichols and head south on 282 into PA- a GPS or mapquest will fill in the back roads

that's my usual route, going to be sorry to miss it this year.

I go I-81 to Wilkes Barre, then 309 to 29 into Tunkhannock then Rt 6 to Meshoppen, 267 through Lawnton then 4015 to Flynn Rd. Takes me about 3 hrs from Harrisburg.

afraid so- been called to grand jury duty starting the week before (5 days a week for 4 weeks, they said the DA can't figure out a better way - I think we need a smarter DA )- so that ties up Friday, and the granddaughters' first dance recital is Saturday, so that would leave a rushed trip on Sunday getting there late morning- I figure that mornings at these events is generally the last shooting and lots of folks will be filtering out to hit the road.

Coming from the south, Chuck's route is the way to go.
