I'm driving down on Thursday. Not sure when I'll hit NJ yet, depends on
a lot of factors. Are you saying I should avoid 287 as well? What
route would you recommend to do that? 78 all the way to the GSP sends
me quite a ways in the wrong direction - about 13 miles longer than
taking 78 to 287 to the GSP when all is said and done.
