You've got a little over 200 miles and about 4-1/2 hours to Lake George from York on the fastest route without stops. Meet and Greet starts at 6:00, so you'll be cutting it really close assuming you get out of York by 1:00.

Also, assume from Sturbridge, you're thinking 90 to 290 to 495 to 95. Lots of traffic and they all drive crazy. But it would be the fastest way. Better off if you can get a few more miles in on Sunday night and get to the other side of Lawrence, MA on 495. From there you would be easily under an hour to York. Pick up 1A in Seabrook and ride up along the coast to Portsmouth. Very nice ride north of Hampton Beach. Quick jump across the Piscataqua and you're in Kittery and then York.

Going to Lake George, fastest is 95 south to 101 west to 93 north to 89 north. Get off at Route 4 in Vermont a couple miles after you cross the Connecticut River at White River Junction. Follow it west. Watch out for radar going in and out of Woodstock, VT. Speed limit is 25 and I've rarely gone through there without seeing a trap set up.

Continue on Route 4 through Rutland all the way to Fort Ann in New York. Then 149 to Route 9 to Route 9N to the motel.

One last thing - tolls on the Mass Pike (90), on 95 in Hampton (Exit 2), and on 93 in Hooksett (between 101 and 89).

Thanks Tom. We are staying in Sturbridge so we can make CT. and RI. after we hit the hotel. And we have 4 hours to make York the next Day. We will use your directions for both. Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
