It's 305 miles from Clifton, NJ to Sandy Point. After trying many different routes over the last 22 years, I've found the shortest drive (5 hours flat with no stops and no traffic -- and keeping the cruise control on 68):

Garden State Parkway, NY Thruway to Tappan Zee, 287 to Merritt Parkway.
91 to Rt. 3, Rt. 2 (East Hartford), then 84 E to Mass Tpke.
Mass Pke from Sturbridge to Auburn for 290.
290 to 495N. In Chelmsford, Rt. 4 to 3 North.
Everett Tpke. to 93 in Hooksett. Exit 15 to 393, then Rt. 4 & 9 into Chichester.
Take the short cut thru "downtown" Chichester to Rt. 28
28 to Alton Circle and then Rt. 11.

I think the car knows the way by itself after 5+ years on the road.
