I-88/86 Versus I-90 in NY?

somecamper · Jun 29, 2021

I traveled 88 a month ago with a 32' travel trailer and it was insane. The road is terrible. I've never encountered anything like it, the road was so bad it caused my truck to bounce up and down. I'll be taking 90 this next time.

Greed, money, quest for power are probably the main reasons.

Now Trump he's from NY but he wasn't really after power. He liked to hobnob with the rich and famous, court beautiful ladies, and he liked being noticed.

I do think he will be elected again later this year.

But the point is about New York. NY believe it or not was a farming state. Farms. Dairy. Horses. Now you don't even see much of that. Most farmers have died, moved away or simply given up. Why do something year after year if you lose money?

People have been moving out of State for 40 years yet the State as a whole is still holding steady population wise because of all the immigrants moving into NYC and it's suburbs.

NYC, by the way is one of the most expensive places to live in the World, never mind the Country.

Keep those thoughts in mind as you travel on 17 86 and 88.

I know a guy who told me gets off the Sidney exit quite often for a cup of coffee and then continues East on RT 7 and gets back on at otego.
He told me he never has trouble with dot in that rest area.
I told him one day soon someone is going to figure out that game and it wasn’t going to be good.

Lol both us got pulled in one morning doing that. They were set up on one of the pull offs on 7.

Hit us for being over length

Otego, owego, and bath are the coops, I think there is one more further west but I used to get off in Angelica for the landfill.

they love trash haulers, good for 117k, and always over, and atleast one upside down a week

Kind of a wash on fuel/tolls but it is a nice ride, actually as long as you stay north/west of 84, all of NY is a nice ride…
