MS Streets and Trips suggested route is I80 - I90- I87.
Any one with current local knowledge along the route have any cautions, refinements, areas to avoid, things to see, places to eat and or spend the night?
Any suggestons for alternative roads off the interstate that don't add significant milage.
Ways to avoid toll roads?
All suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi, Wayne!
Glad your coach finally arrived.
Who'da thunk Oneonta would have great BBQ!
I lived there during most all of WW II.
Miserably cold in the winter, for sure!
I have a non-coach trip in late August up to
western NY for my 55-year H.S. reunion. Wife
wants to visit her home town of Seneca Falls,
so maybe a visit to Oneonta might occur. I've
wanted to go back to see what the town looks
like for many years; haven't been back since
1946! I'd like to see what the three houses
in which I lived look like now!

Gene,
Just get our coach here in one piece :lol: Ditto on taking the
southern tier expressway through NY. Stop at Brooks BBQ in Oneonta
(exit 16 on I88). They have been voted the best BBQ in the country.
The ribs are great. When anywhere close I always have to stop at
the Air Force museum in Dayton, OH. Plenty of room to park a coach there.
Have fun and take lots of pictures so I can see where our coach has been.
Did you get your ticket yet? The check went out priority mail on Saturday.
Cya

Gene,
Nicer temps up in Lake Almanor. Sure you want to leave?
For food you should have a look at Yelp.com
Have fun.
