2010 Road Trip plans, IN-MI-OH-PA-NY-MA-NJ-VA
« on: February 11, 2010, 01:16:51 AM »
Each year, I do at least one "major" road trip to see places and meet family and friends.  I hope to do some "weekend voyages" during 2010, but for now, I'm planning these drives....


** MC NATS, JUNE 2010 **

I'll travel to Richmond IN for the 25th Annual Monte Carlo Nationals:
http://www.montecarloclub.com/Monte_Nationals_Page.htm



** NOR'EASTER TREK, AUG 2010 **

My "major" road trip is a drive to the northeast US.  Plans for this trip are developing, but the tentative/skeletal itinerary is below.  If you are interested in meeting up along the way, please advise me....


WED, AUG 4
...Illinois
...to Fort Wayne IN area
...to Detroit MI area

THU, AUG 5
...Detroit MI area
...to Akron OH area

FRI, AUG 6
...Akron OH area
...to Pennsylvania
...to Binghamton NY

SAT, AUG 7
...stay in Binghamton NY

SUN, AUG 8
...Binghamton NY
...to Boston MA area

MON, AUG 9
...explore area north of Boston MA

TUE, AUG 10
...Boston MA
...to Philadelphia PA
...to Neptune NJ area

WED, AUG 11
...Neptune NJ area
...to Baltimore MD area
...to Alexandria VA

THU, AUG 12
...Alexandria VA
...to Bridgewater VA

FRI, AUG 13
...stay in Bridgewater VA area

SAT, AUG 14
...Bridgewater VA
...to Holsopple/Johnstown/Pittsburgh PA area for family reunion

SUN, AUG 15
...Pittsburgh PA
...to Illinois



** 2011 ROAD TRIP **

With going northeast in 2010, that leaves the northwest section of the continental US to which I have yet to travel.  So ... sometime in 2011 ... I will drive through Minnesota, the Dakotas and out west, maybe including Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

* UPDATE *
I'm starting to look at routes to take for this road trip and should be able to post a possible path for the drive sometime soon.


In doing so, I've read about US Route 6 [another route I want to travel the length of ... "someday"] in Pennsylvania.  If I have time, I'm thinking of taking one of 3 routes to "touch" US Route 6 across PA from Ohio to Binghamton NY...
...I-80 E ... PA 66 ... PA 321 ... US 6 E ... US 220 ... I-86 E
(or)
...I-79 N ... US 6 E ... US 220 ... I-86 E
(or)
...i-80 E ... PA 219 N ... US 6 E ... US 220 ... I-86 E

Thoughts on any of these possibilities?


After traveling Route 66 (September 2009), I really want to travel other routes, including US Route 6, US Route 20 (which cuts right through my home town), the Lincoln Highway, and others.  Heck, I'd love to drive Route 66 again....  But, not enough vacation time right now...dangumit.

I did the circle tour once - but it took me two summer vacation road trips in a row to do it.  ;D

We interwove camping and side trips to Niagara, the R&R hall of fame, Cedar Point, Tahquamenon Falls, The Dells, and Sleeping Bear Dunes, so it made for a much slower journey, but a lot of fun.

Circle Tour the Great Lakes.

I would LOVE to do that someday ... but this is not the year for that ... and, since I want to head to the northwest in 2011, it won't be next year either ... but, it IS on my list ;).

~3p-5p ... Baltimore MD to Alexandria VA ...via... I-95 S ... I-495 S ... I-395 N ... Seminary Rd W
~5p ... dinner w/family, Alexandria VA


Hitting 495 around 4pm or so can be trouble. Some days it's fine, other days a total disaster. OK, most days it's a disaster. :)  Might be faster to go around the top side (495W), depending on traffic.

*chuckles*

I went that way when I was out east a couple years ago ... and was there about the same time.  It wasn't too bad ... I didn't think.  Though, I may try that other route this time.

You going to be around at all, Stephen?



*

I'm still working details for my August trip ... more later.  In the meantime, info about my "mini road trip" in June....



** JUNE 25-27, 2010 ... to RICHMOND IN **

I'll leave Thursday evening, June 24, or early Friday morning, June 25 ... to be in Richmond IN by late afternoon/early evening Friday, June 25.


To avoid the major road construction projects on most of the Chicagoland "expressways", I'll take one of these routes:

IL RT 47 S to SR 24 E to I-65 S, then around Indianapolis to I-70 E
...OR...
IL RT 47 S (or I-39 S) to I-74 E into Indianapolis, then around Indianapolis to I-70 E.


I'll be in Richmond IN from Friday afternoon/evening until after lunch on Sunday, returning home Sunday afternoon/evening....


If anyone is interested in meeting up along the way or convoying back'n'forth to the MC Nationals, let me know....

UPDATES....



** NOR'EASTER TREK, AUGUST 2010 **

I have an opportunity to travel Route 66 (Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California) again this year ... and I may take it.  If I do, this August trip would be canceled.

HOWEVER ... right NOW ... I'm STILL geared up to travel to Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania ... so, if you are planning to meet up along my road trip path, let me know ... and DO NOT change your plans!!!

I'll post more details in July....



** JUNE 25-27, 2010 ... to RICHMOND IN **

I will most-likely leave early Friday morning, June 25 ... to be in Richmond late afternoon, where I'll be until after lunch Sunday, June 27, returning home that afternoon/evening.

To avoid the major road construction projects on most of the Chicagoland "expressways", I'll take this route (reverse for heading home Sunday)...:
IL RT 47 S
I-74 E
S around Indianapolis
I-70 E

If you're interested in meeting up along the way or convoying back'n'forth, let me know....

** 25th ANNUAL MONTE CARLO NATIONALS ... RICHMOND IN ... JUNE 25-27, 2010 **

It was awesome seeing old friends and meeting new ones...and the Monte Carlos weren't bad either!  My 1979 Caprice Classic ran just fine the entire trip.

I'm baaaacckkk!!  My Nor'Easter Trek road trip was AWESOME ... met up with great people along the way and had a blast.  I just don't want to be back home....  Pictures will be posted soon....


Now ... time to plan my 2011 road trip via Route 66 and into the northwest United States....  And, I'm thinking about a mini road trip in mid September and a mini road trip to TN during Thanksgiving weekend....
