I have to drive thru there in order to get to Maine.
Just before the NY state line, while still in PA, I stop and get diesel, drinks, food, and use the restroom. I do NOT stop for anything....no fuel, no food, no lodging...nothing until I cross the Maine/NH line.
Other than mandatory road tolls, I don’t spend a single red cent in: NY, NJ, CT, MA. Nada... And IF I could hold my breath for that long, I wouldn’t even breathe their darn air.
I’ve doing the same drive, with the same PA stop for gas.
LOL!
