I'm taking the 914 up to Chris this week for its much deserved rust repair !!
its getting the rear fenders stretched and fixed and then the longs, jackpoints etc . Yes, I am driving it!!! I will be coming up the I95 but might take some back roads, so I am looking for advice from locals to the DC and Baltimore areas to find out the best way to take a 914 thru, - it will most likely be in the middle of the night, but I am trying to get up to CFR by Noon or so Friday. Leaving SC right after work Thursday. Leaving the car with Chris and hope to come back and get it when done, then bring it home for repaint. Goal is to finish it before the end of the Challenge, and drive it up to NC for the Okteenerfest outing!!!! Phil |

if I hit the 287 at the south west corner just coming in on 95, it should be early enough in the morning, @4-5am, so I am hoping that will be early enough to avoid the beginning traffic rush,
at that point 287,ogolden state parkway up to 87, to 6, and that that 6 route to Bear Mountain, should be about breakfast time , find somewhere to stop, but then take the 6 across to Brewster, catch I84 there and then up to Manchester. that sounds like the plan right now anyway. |

Bear Mountain, should be about breakfast time , find somewhere to stop. At Bear Mountain you're about 10 to 15 minutes from West Point (Highland Falls) and a pretty cool military museum. I know it's not a sightseeing trip per se, but just in case you were looking for time to kill. The Bear Mountain area and the Hudson "highlands" in general are also very pretty (spectacular in the fall). And if you REALLY wanted to see some cool views, take 9W from there up over "Storm King" mountain to Newburgh and get on I-84 there. From scenic overlooks on 9W you can see almost all of West Point and practically all the way down the Hudson. That would be a really fun drive in a teener (there's some twisties on that road). EDIT: Actually you'd get off of 9W and take 218 up over the mountain. That's the one that has the best views (and twists and turns for a teener). |
