No, you're wrong, Ridge Pike runs between Roxborough and Norristown. It parallels the expressway...make me a liar for a few lousy miles (which a van could cover in five minutes). It is north of center city/university city where I 've spent my Philadelphia time, and my map shows it running northwest from where Ridge Ave crosses into Montgomery County, about fifteen miles from Trenton. My point was that if the stories of these two don't check out, it could be another indications of an active, potentially lethal terrorist cell operating out of the Trenton/North Philadelphia area...who knows, they might have been apprehended on their way to pick up that abandoned suitcase which police say was discovered in the Greyhound Terminal in downtown Philly this morning - containing C-4 plastique explosives...

The point is, Ridge Pike runs almost straigt into the West River Drive, not North Phila. Trenton is not close. This area is at least a half hour drive from Phila, though not far in miles, maybe only 15 miles, but it is out of the way. It is right at the end of the Blue Route, though. I would bet that these guys took to Blue Route from the Walt Whitman Bridge.
