Re: A Thread for Travel: Trips/Advice/Ideas

Taking another look, as well as jmh's suggestions, there may be a faster way. Keep the New England route, but modify NJ so that you cross into PA near Philly before going into Delaware. Once in Maryland, though, use I-70 and US 340 to pick up WV and VA. Take 81 to 77 to get North Carolina, use the route I had to get SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, but take it all the way over on I-10 and cut into LA. Then take the 59/65 back to TN, KY, take 71 to Cincinnati (OH), go towards IN, IL, cut WI closer (maybe US 61), take 90/35/94 in MN and regain the previous route, except this time taking I-29 further (ND, SD, IA, MO, maybe use 480 to cut into NE), take the KS way around KC, US 71 into AR before heading towards OK, go across the TX panhandle, this time going up to Four Corners to pick up NM, CO, UT, AZ, take a shortened Western route that doesn't double back to Utah but still cuts into CA, OR, and WA, ID to MT, then US-89 down to WY. Wonder how much time I save... hopefully more than it took me to write this.

EDIT: Missed MI. Shoot. Have to go ALL THE WAY up to Toledo and do what I did before to get through Chicago to ND; can't cut through Indy. At least that's what I-75 is for, and is possibly feasible now that OH's up to a speed limit of 70 for most interstates, and not just the pike. Scrap the IN/IL part from the first portion, and just follow what I had before.

I think this is what I had (I reset my map and didn't save it, so it is from memory) I wanted to record what I had somewhere while it was fresh in my mind

My son and I will be on the east coast mid August and he wants to fish. Any suggestions on how and where we can do that for less than a fortune? We'll be driving up the coast from NYC to Boston. Sound, estuary or ocean fishing would work if a charter won't bankrupt me. Thanks!

You missed Delaware and Virginia. BTW, I-29 never actually goes into Nebraska. It goes from SD straight into IA.

That route you chose has some extremely boring stretches of driving in it. :p

AMERICA has some extremely boring stretches of driving in it. Like, anything between MSP/St. Louis/Dallas (depending how far north or south you are) and Denver or so.

Though it's out of the way, my inclination is to say that if you made a drive out to the South Shore of Long Island, it'd be less expensive to do a charter than if you went in Connecticut. No idea how Rhode Island would compare to that though.

My suggestion (in addition to jmh's idea): Drive out to LI for the fishing, anywhere out towards the tip and montauk, on either shore, should have fishing charters and the like. Orient, Southhold, Montauk (probably expensive though), etc. From there, drive back towards NYC, but take the Port Jefferson ferry up to, I believe, New Haven, CT.

Since tArrogance may have forgotten what the NCAA trophy looks like, you could then swing by Yale and check it out ;)

Nah, I get to see five of the trophies every year at Skate with the Gophers and when I walk around the rink, don't need to see Ylae's.;) But thanks for the fishing suggestions.

I got them on the map, just forgot them in the list. And I caught Nebraska later, so no biggie.

edit: working on recreating it, so I can post a link

Agree with the suggestion to take a ferry across the Sound. Saves you from having to go through NYC traffic.

Oh come now, the LI Expressway, Bronx-Whitestone, and Hutchinson to 684 isn't THAT bad! I quite enjoyed it.

Thanks, great tip. I have also found some party boat trips on LI. Much cheaper than charters and they have tackle to lend on the boats. Seems like the way for us to go.
