Best Route to Pine Island, NY from Bloomsburg, PA?

If you get up into the head of elk (Aberdeen Maryland) towards the old Tappan Zee and associated trails those were the main routes used by the American and French army as they made a almost 600 mile march to Yorktown VA in a effort to trap the British under Cornwallis there. One of the biggest motivators was from De Grasse a French Admiral and a wealthy man he committed almost 30,000 in then personal money in silver and letters of credit drawn on his property back in france. Much of that money was converted to one final payroll for GW's Land army before they would take any more marching orders to anywhere, pay us they said. And so they were paid.

Its really hard to get away from some of the routes cut through the forest dating back to before we were America for military purposes or even indian fighting to secure then new frontiers. Then you brought in freighting and post riders etc.

 

I may be wrong but I think some of those restrictions popped up after they closed Rt 209 to trucks in Pennsylvania. There might also be a restriction on Rt 94? I think they might have been trying to prevent drivers from coming up with another shortcut to replace the old Ho Chi Minh Trail...

 

I think it's farther up in NY. I used to run NJ94 myself from 80 up to Rt 206. When Bethlehem Steel was still open but 209 was closed, ran 206 and 94 sometimes...
