Today we started our trip home leaving Speculator, NY at 10:00AM EDT and drove to the HUGE Cabela’s in Hamburg, PA. We drove 323 miles and arrived just after 4:30PM EDT. The fastest route home when leaving Speculator is through Scranton, PA, but in the past we’ve found the roads there to be absolutely horrible. So, even though it means paying tolls in New York and New Jersey we have taken I-87 to I-287 to I-78 the last few trips. I guess we’ll have to give Scranton another try on our next trip because the NY/NJ tolls were $25.35 and then Pennsylvania hits you if you travel Westbound on I-78 across the Delaware River (state line). The fee for a car is $1. The fee for a motorhome towing a car is $16 (Eeeek!).
On the way down out of the Adirondacks we stopped at the Sunoco in Mayfield to top off the fuel tank for $2.49/gallon. We stopped and fixed a sandwich at the Modena Travel Plaza along I-87 near Modena, NY.
Upon arrival we went into Cabela’s to spend some money so we could get the passcode to their onsite RV dump station. I bought some reloading case lubricant, some cast iron skillet cleaning gear, and a Moon Pie. Beth bought some Gear Ties to organize all of our phone charging cords in the camper.
We went back to the camper and reheated the leftover Chicken Parmesan from last night’s meal at the Melody Lodge in Speculator and watched the Thursday night NFL game (Miami vs Jacksonville).
