Sort of. I think I may take 84W until it ends.

Take care

Coming from North Jersey taking 287S -> 78W

Unfortunately I will be unable to make it, but I live in NY and got to school in Bethlehem PA. I agree 287 to 78 is the best route and by far the fastest. 95 and the jersey TPK are usually miserable. I have done the drive on both routes many times to and from school. Wish I could go have fun guys.

Great day trip yesterday to Hershey. This was my first time at the swap meet. I met some cool people saw some very nice cars. Oddly I expected / hoped to run into a pack of cars I could just tag along with on 78 but didn't see any Porsches until I parked near a Cayman S parked at a rest stop, and then not another until i was on rt22 about 10 miles form Hershey and that car was going the other way.
Lots of stuff to look at from the vendors, but I didn't buy anything, although today I wish I'd bought the 9" Fuchs. I did mange to get in the key cutting line and get two extra keys cut. My only disappointment was not seeing some the early S cars, belonging to Macroni & the Jersey / PA crew.
When I left Hershey Park I was following a black 911 belonging to Bruce Kramer and he and I had a really good run from Hershey all the way up to 78. Bruce's car sounded great with the SSI's on. That run along 22 was probably the quickest part of the whole ride, not a cop in sight. 78 was a different story but all in all great weather for a interesting day out, and it was really good to exercise the 911 in first long run of the year.
Here's some random pics form Hershey of just stuff that caught my eye.

Will saw your car there, didnt see you tho. The 17's look just look the business.

Wish I could find an Oak Green Carrera coupe !

Wow sorry wish I knew! Thanks... I'm pretty satisfied with those Rota's/Hankook combo.

Anyway I got there early and by noon I have a big headache so I decided to skip the crabcakes. But I picked up a nice M&K 2/2 replacement for my dented 2/1. I too felt lonesome being the only Porsche driver both ways... but no biggie.

The revving of the Carrera GT was the highlight of my day.... enjoy

Come on Will. It is obvious by your photos that you have a good eye for nice cars. But the revving of the Carrera GT a highlight? LOL. You photos show that there was way more interesting stuff there.

Haha!! I think you're right.. I just couldn't get over those beautiful notes. Let's just say it's perfect ICING on the cake. I think the highlight is my scoring of my M&K 2/2 which I put on in less than 24 hours after the meet. OH and I couldn't get over why I didn't buy the red Momo wheel for $80. I'm confused... thanks...
