Re: [DML] Caravan from the Northeast

[Rod Dillman <rhdillman@xxxxxxxxx>]

For those unfamiliar with I-81 be prepared for heavy traffic which is now as much as 40 percent trucks. Speed limits are strictly enforced,especially in work zones. Any road work or accidents cause a major traffic backup,sometimes for miles if a truck is involved in a serious wreck.  Friday afternoons and Sunday nights are the most congested times. Much routine road work is now done at night when traffic is somewhat lighter. My advice is to keep your speed within 5 miles of the posted limit unless it is a work zone in which case you should not exceed the posted limit unless you are willing to risk a ticket.

I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but if there is a caravan from the Northeast in the works, please let us know. 

If we start out in Cherry Hill on Wednesday like we did last time, I was thinking that Roanoke, VA would be a good stopping point - 360 miles from Cherry Hill. We would get in around 7 PM or so, time to have a decent meal. Then it's only 250 miles to PF on Thursday - we could arrive around noon if we leave Roanoke at 8AM. 

I'll be driving from the Boston area to South Jersey on Tuesday, in case anyone wants to join me.

For the return, I'm considering going straight through from PF to Cherry Hill on Sunday, but I don't really expect anyone to want to join me (but if you do, let me know).
