    I-76 thrpugh PA is a pain in the butt. It's not terrible in the daytime, but at night every 4 wheeler on the road has their crazy-bright high beams on. And all those hills & curves just get on my nerves after a few hours. Any other options that take about the same amount of time, give or take 2 hours?

    Buy a pair of yellow lens night glasses. OR... go to gander mountain or similar big box store with guns, hunting to be exact buy a pair of yellow impact resistant hunting glasses.

    Run with them on at night. One problem solved.

    You can run 80 until State College, come down US 322 to Harrisburg. Then 15 to US 30 on in seeking out US 1 through the woods on the PA side of border. (This is really important...) Run US 1 until Kennets Square and work your way into philly. Make sure you come through the 95 Naval Yard bridge side near the old stadium on the west side.

    DO NOT...

    I repeat. DO NOT whatever you do.

    GO off 95 into central, NE most especially NOR cross into Camden NJ. Do not.

    You ask why. There is no why. Just your life. How much do you cherish it?

    Thanks to the drivers who aren't so insecure that they have to try to chase the others off. I'll check out your tips.

    You would, but the OP doesn't like hills, turns, or oncoming lights, let alone a "2-lane" road
