As always - thanks to fellow forum users for useful help !

Having made this trip many times myself from NJ, the only time I've hit traffic heading up 93 towards Concord was during weekday afternoon rush hours or on the Sunday of a NASCAR race. You should do fine on Sat. mid-day taking the route recommended by Rattlesnake Gal (exit 15E to 393 and then 4/202 to the Epsom circle to 28North). Most of the time I leave northern NJ (Clifton) around 6 am and arrive in Alton Bay by 11:30 am.
Do you take 93N all the way from 495? I have found that exiting 495 in Chelmsford and taking 3N which becomes the Everett Tpke. in Nashua saves time, although there is 1 added toll in Bedford. The Everett pike merges with 93 just below the Hooksett Toll. I find it much better than 93 all the way up.
