I thought I posted this earlier but it didn't show up. Sorry if it's a repeat.
I'll be leaving next Friday, the 28th. I've gathered all the things I think I'll need in the event of a breakdown. In the end, I decided to just take I-95 all the way up. If things get too crazy out there, I'll use a different route.
I wanted to ask if there might be any Stovebolters along the route who would be willing to help me out if I run into trouble. Drew P. has kindly offered to lend a hand if I break down in southern New Jersey. My route will take me through Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, a small stretch of New York, then Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
Jeremy, thanks for the tip. I usually do take 9W on my way up there to avoid the Bronx and the GW Bridge. Route 6 is my alternate in New England if I get off I-95.
