Between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice I did several trips between Virginia and eastern PA, with one trip to New England and one family funeral in New Jersey. The funeral was in a place such that I was able to get in a side trip to clinch all the short routes in and around New Brunswick. I only just entered all the new mileage into my TM list. The following summary is not even close to being in the order driven!
New clinches:
I-395 in CT -- and with it all Interstates in CT, I-291 in MA, US 6 in NY, US 209 in PA, US 360 (the entire route, which is all in VA), US 1 Business (Bel Air, MD), US 206 Bypass (Hillsborough NJ), US 209 Business (Marshalls Creek, PA), US 322 Truck (Downingtown, PA), NJ 26, NJ 32, NJ 91, NJ 133, NJ 171, NJ 172, PA 61 Truck Southbound (Sunbury), PA 179, PA 282, PA 890, PA 946, NY 59, CT 131, MD 3 Business (Glen Burnie), MD 41, MD 174, MD 222, MD 275, MD 440, MD 713, MD 824, VA 200, VA 201, VA 222, VA 294, VA 354. Whew!
New or extended non-clinching segments:
US 1 in NJ, US 6 in PA, US 9W in NY, US 20 in MA, US 130 in NJ, US 206 in NJ, US 209 in NY, US 322 in PA, MA 12, MA 31, MA 56, CT 12, Milford Pkwy in CT, NJ 27, PA 32, PA 42, PA 44, PA 52, PA 54, PA 152, PA 191, PA 263, PA 447, PA 611, PA 642, MD 2, MD 7 (Perryville section), MD 176, MD 648, MD 924.
Winter brings with it the possibility of ugly weather that's REALLY not conducive to driving. Case in point: I-95 in Virginia last week. Yikes! So any travel between now and the official start of Spring is going to be heavily weather dependent. Stay safe, everyone!
