North-east/NYC Cincy Caravan
Thanks Jan!
Honestly I think that the best bet for us is to crash in Albany and leave at
5am, Jason, Sara and Botch have about a 3.5-4 hour drive just to get to
Albany. Then we meet the caravan around 10am at Harrisburg PA.
Going down to you, and then to Rich will add to the total driving time.
here is a breakdown, of course the distances are to NYC and other
centralized locations, but overall I suspect it balances out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albany - Philly = 254 miles Total Estimated Time: 4 hours, 19 minutes
Philly- Wilmington = 530 miles Total Estimated Time: 8 hours, 42 minutes
Total time = 13 hours - 785 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Albany - Harrisburg = 293 miles Total Estimated Time: 4 hours, 51 minutes
Harrisburg - Wilmington = 429 miles Total Estimated Time: 7 hours, 7
minutes
Total time = 12 hours - 722 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
Albany - New York City = 155 miles Total Estimated Time: 2 hours, 41 minutes
NYC - Philly = 96 miles - Total Estimated Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Philly- Wilmington = 530 miles Total Estimated Time: 8 hours, 42 minutes
Total time = 13.5 - 780 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
Albany - Rochester - Wilmington = 680 miles - 11 hours
