Getting here from Culpepper, VA area

camp guy · 03-02-2021, 10:51 AM

Between now and the original post, my reason to be in the Culpepper, VA area passed away, so the question, for me, is moot. However, for a variety of reasons, I like to avoid Washington, Baltimore, and 95 north, preferring to take either 83 or 81 to 84, and then suffering through CT to 90-495-95 and on into NH, avoiding 93 (at all costs) and heading to Portsmouth and 16-11-28 into Wolfeboro. I am comfortable with that route, and I have reached the age where comfort is more important to me than some other factors.

A couple years ago I drove from Center Harbor to visit my mom in Bristol PA. I was driving a rented car and did not even think about the tolls. A lot of them take a picture of your plate and send a bill and then the rental company charges $15 for each one, as a courtesy. Made the same drive again last year and asked waze for a route without tolls. Took me about an extra two hours or so but had a nice scenic drive across vermont and down along the hudson then on to rt1. When we used to drive with my dad he would not stop for anything except gas but now that I'm in charge I stop all the time and try to stay off the interstates if it makes sense.
