Yeah, I remember that. I was thinking that maybe the scenario is that
Mapquest somehow knew this last year, which is why it recommended the
route that we took. I'm hoping that this year, they've made additional
improvements to the road somewhere, or opened up a new highway or
something. If Mapquest knew that, it might pick that route instead.
Anyway, I can hope.
Anyone have any other ideas? (In other words, is there any easy way to
get from Buffalo to Harrisburg without practically going through
Pittsburgh?)
Thanks,
Jason
