It is our hope that those who do the long haul do it in good company. If you are planning to drive from the NYC area or from even further in the deep South (like New Jersey!), please post your driving plans/needs in the comment section below. With any luck, you'll be exposed to insane iPod mixes and marathon games of dictionary! Useful directional-type info:
DRIVING FROM THE NEW YORK AREA
Take I-87N from the city about 120 miles to Albany, Take I-787N from Albany for about 9 miles to the junction of route 7, Take the RT-7E exit 9E (to Troy/Bennington), Follow Route 7 about 20 miles to the Bennington bypass/route 279, Take the bypass about 4 miles to the junction of US route 7 (not to be confused with NY route 7 from Albany), Turn left onto US-7N, Continue about 25 miles on route 7 to Emerald Lake State Park on the left (site of the Friday night barbecue). Twelve miles North of the park is the White Rocks Inn, on the left at the prominent red barn. If you reach Wallingford you've gone too far.
The hotels are also on route seven, about ten miles North of the White Rocks Inn on the left.
