That’s my thought exactly.
We usually don’t leave or enter the state by interstate anyways.
We take a kind of back roads route and if need be, mr. mm can hop on Rt 20 near Albany. It’ll take longer, but east of Cazenovia, 20 isn’t bad.
Between Caz and Skaneateles, however, it’s a death trap.
I’ve taken Route 20 into Massachusetts on numerous occasions over the years. I’ve also taken Route 15 South from Rochester, all the way to Gettysburg, Pa. I broke down and signed up for EZ-Pass. I really didn’t want to do it, because I don’t use the Thruway very often, but when I do go anywhere, I need to have access to bathrooms on a regular basis. Getting old sucks.
