Drving Northern NJ to Sugarbush...any suggestions?

[gores95]

Cross on double, since when? As one of the youngest in here (therefore most up-to-date on driving rules) I can definately say that you can't do that in ny. Last time I picked up a driving handbook was about 7 years ago though.

Can't do it here in NJ either but curiously they allow it in VT!!! :dunce:

I89 to Middlesex exit

IMHO I go with the 95/91/89 way.

But....even tho it's longer in miles, going on I89 to the Middlesex exit 9 then down 100B to Rt100 is just as fast and alot safer than the Bethel exit/Bethel Mtn Rd/rt100, the Randolph exit or the Northfield exit then Lovers Lane then over Warrren/Roxbury Gap.

If you have a need for some adventure definately do the Roxbury Gap. The bad part is short, maybe 2 miles but watch out for those two hairpin turns on the Warren side. After the first one you think your pretty much down and then you hit the second one. :lol:

The Thruway to Rt149 to Rt4 thru Rutand etc works but you are driving 80 miles on local roads and getting thru Rutland can be a major pain.

I have driven each way countless times over the last 40 years although only once from Jersey.

Any of the ways mentioned will get you there.

Re: Hope it works.

P.S.

The VT welcome center is great at the NY/ VT border. Water, bathrooms, tons of literature, and a nice little kids area.

Brandon is a great little town, with a super bunch of shops and eats along a brick fronted main street.

There are a few unexpected turns on 73 over the mountain - sharp 90 degree ones that kind of sneak up on you, so be alert.

The run up 100 from 73 has 2 cutie towns with eats and a few shops, and a great nature area in the Granville Gulf reservation, an idyllic 7 mile stretch. Nice little stop off to see the frozen falls. Watch for Moose, and, though I've never run into it, sometimes black ice.

Have a great time in a great valley.

You're hired. Come and see me to sign your W-2.
