Because of mountains in western Massachusetts it would take four hours to drive east to Brimfield, Massachusetts on secondary roads. Eric and I can drive on highways and the toll roads that we often avoid, and arrive at Brimfield in 2 and a half hours. We agree that taking highways and toll roads and saving 1.5 hours of driving time is our most efficient use of time and diesel fuel.
Our drive starts at the
Interstate 88 &
Interstate 90 Interchange.
It's springtime along the
New York State Thruway
(Interstate 90).
We drive along the Erie
Canalway National
Heritage Corridor.
The nearby railroad bridge
that crosses the
Hudson River.
Repair work on a
bridge
Eric continues east on
Interstate 90 to the
Massachusetts Turnpike.
We cross into Massachusetts.
How Green Was My Valley...
The Massachusetts Turnpike
Toll Booths
The sign warns of a steep
grade ahead & advises
trucks to use a lower gear.
The Mass Pike sign reminds
me that Massachusetts is
proud of its Pilgrim Heritage.
The middle lane of this
bridge is being repaired.
We leave the Massachusetts
Turnpike at Exit 8.
Eric continues to drive
east on US Route 20.
Brimfield is setting up for
their May Antique &
Brimfield Massachusetts has been the Antique and Collectibles Capital of the United States since 1959. Thousands of dealers are streaming in to set up for the six day event.
Eric pulls into Adventure
Resorts of America
Sturbridge.
We will camp here for
three weeks & make
a few side trips.
I'm adding the Antiques and Collectibles Show to our "To Do List."
