So how far south are you going? Nine hours from the lake puts you in Dover, Delaware at best....or worst in southern NJ.

9 hours will put me in Richmond VA.. I hope.. :-)

Going a bit out of Richmond in a place called Charles City.. Maybe get a ride on a 37 AThunder with twin 525's..

In 9 hours you won't be anywhere near Richmond. With luck, you'll be past Baltimore.

Google maps says that is will take you 10hrs 15mins if you go I-95 S and 11hrs 25 mins if you go I-90 W
Therefore I think it will take you 10 hrs if you go I-95 S.

You are going on the assumption I am leaving from Moultonboro and that I drive the speed Limit

Well, I put in Concord as you did not state where you were leaving from, but that does make a difference. You have to be honest with us OCD, otherwise this could get heated.

I also put in a faster than the speed limit assumption, but knowing how you feel about your boat I figured you would not be flying around on the side roads. I have a picture of you in my head crossing over the VA line with 30 min to go to deadline, boat fish tailing around corners to make in under the gun. Remember most trailer tires are not rated for speeds above 65, if you want to go faster you need to increase your tire pressure to help prevent a failure, that would really slow you down, but I will not hold something like that against your time, we will deduct for things like that.

It won't get heated unless you start a poll that doesn't go my way. Then I am going to call schnanagans..

You are right.... I won't be flying especially since I am towing... However the way home could be interesting.

Already pumped up the tires to the max... I am leaving around 3AM.. hoping to arrive by mid afternoon. I have a GPS but I am doing a AAA Trip Tix to make sure I don't end up in downtown Manhattan. Going around the city to avoid traffic. Gotta hand it to AAA. These trip tix reports are great..

Hitting Atlantic City on the way back to catch the Pats game. They should love me there in my Brady Jersey...

I use to do AAA trip tixs. It's a bitch to program the GPS with that info. Bing maps with clearflow is the next best thing. And you can download the directions into your GPS! Give it a try!

Bing Maps is a spin off of the program that I used above to generate directions. It called Microsoft Streets and Trips. The online version on the Bing site has left out so many of the options that make streets and trips great. It is way better than google maps (MapQuest) as it actually shows real roads and does not send you down roads that no longer exist or that do not actually connect. I do not know if Bing does this but on streets and trips you can update current construction info as well and detore around if needed. The fuel cost estimator is cool as well and is fairly accurate as long as you know what your total average would be.

I will check that out thanks... I won't be on this weekend so hopefully things don't get out of hand with me gone.. LOL

Even though I am betting against you, I would strongly suggest that you avoid going I-95 the whole way. It is a miserable road through CT without traffic, but you will be hitting the NYC area in the morning rush. I-84 is your friend.

Truer words were never spoken.

I could beat you down there from here using that route OCD, been there, done that. I95 makes life miserable.

Don't be a scofflaw!

gtagrip,

I say OCD pulls it off.

I THINK he was joking about the speed limit, he is pulling a LARGE boat.

As I about him being a scofflaw. I just didn't want him to let others know about his any mis-doings! We all know how they feel about that.
