Southern? 5 to 80 (east), 2-3 days later head north on Garden State to 287, across the Tappan Zee to 684 north to 84 east, exit at Bristol, exit #31 I think. (j/k) Man I'd love to do that drive in my 8. ;-)

of course, if you have NAV, I wouldn't need to tell you this - I don't have it :-(

That's where ESPN and Lake Compounce is right? Too bad I'm busy both days. :-(
