When we drove down early on the morning of the 3rd we encountered what looked like heavy fog but smelled like smoke on the 4 near Deltona. We stopped for coffee at a convenience store on the highway and the attendant mentioned that there were brush fires burning.

We didn't notice them when we drove back last Saturday though.
 
:drive:We are leaving for our first DVC adventure on July 9 for arrival at the world on July 10. We are taking the 81 77 26 95 route from Syracuse NY and are looking for recent trip reports for this route.

Thanks for any info!
 
Just got back on Monday!!

Wanted to let any 75 drivers know that the trip is smooth going! Absoluletly NO issues heading south, which was great!! Only issue north bound was the Ohio/Kentucky line, the bridge work. Had delays of 1 1/2 hours, so we took an alternate route!

We left at 2:30pm and arrived at ASSp at 6:50am. We're near Ft. Wayne, IN.

We left Clearwater Beach area at 6:00pm and arrived home at 12:00 noon. Stopped for 1 hour for nap and 1 hour for breakfast.

Took this route Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Going down was OK, but we left at 9:30 pm. We came home a slightly different way because we had a stop over in Georgia for 3 nights. From there we took 85-77-81 route. Drove from 9:30 am Monday to 1:30 am Tuesday to PA. Truck traffic is fairly heavy, but construction wasn't causing delays. There were a few areas we had to slow down, but never stop & go.
 
We usually come across onto the 81-66-US17-95-4 when we travel during the day time.

shhhhhhhh. dont listen to princessmom4!!! this way is rotten!!! to long,to much traffic!!!! :lmao::lmao: im just kidding, this is our best way i found to go for non friday/ sat. in the summer.:thumbsup2
 
Got your number. I have another cell number that I'll call you with, too.

BC - can you text? It's a lot easier than trying to call and leave phone messages, especially when trying to find each other in a park. Or will you be online while you're there? I have a few days where we definitely know our schedule, but the rest will be winging it.

I know you don't like to publicize anything, so I'll PM you, Dave and Pam my tentative days schedules and we can see if there's the possibility of ALL of us someplace at the same time. I'll probably do that tomorrow because unlike DAVE, we are NOT packed and still have stuff to do. :lmao:

:lmao: well, the gardener didnt show up so i may have the van packed but i had to trim and mow the grass, spray weeds, touch up paint on the house and garage.:lmao: than, my boss is insisting i work till friday at 1:30 so i have a dozen blue prints to get through before i leave. :lmao: but all i have to do is grab my pillow and im outta here!!!!:woohoo: see you guys down there.:thumbsup2

What character you are....LOL

Can I add avoid PA, the construction is terrible?:rotfl2::rotfl2:
 
Ok, I have a question...mainly for dvczerfs, but I'd appreciate anyone chiming in. :thumbsup2

Gasbuddy and Google Maps both tell me to take (from East Stroudsburg, PA - Poconos) 80-33-22-78-81-83-581-270-495-95-4!!!

This seems like a lot of road changes. I guess it's just two more than 78-81-77-26-95-4, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever taken this way? If not, I'll stick with what dvczerfs and some others have recommended which is 78-81-77-26-95-4.

Thanks for any input you can give.

And to everyone going to WDW this and next week...safe travels and have an awesome trip! :banana:

TIA

I have a friend that lives in Jacksonville and she put on facebook this evening that they are having trouble with wildfires. Has anyone noticed this going through on 95, or is this a non-issue? Thanks!



I saw a similar post also. A friend from high school lives by Jacksonville and posted the same thing.
 
To everyone traveling in the next couple of days. I want reports:goodvibes

And safe travels to all!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :worship:
I'm a mile and a half away from that light in Marshalls Creek! "It's a small world!" Pendot certainly is reeking havoc in my neck of the woods for sure. So glad I know lots of back roads to get around all the mess. :thumbsup2

Just a warning for when you come back...they've closed the 7th street bridge (until next DEC!!!! :scared1:) so traffic on 80 in that area (right after the Main Street exit going east) has been a little backed up during the day the last few days. Hopefully they find a solution to that!

Have a safe and fantastic trip and I'm looking forward to reading all about it!!!
 
Cool, I'll be looking forward to reading.

i cant text from the road. no texting and driving!:lmao: i think we are going to bring the lap top anyway. we dont get free internet (we are not staying on points at a dvc resort) so i have to pay for it and im cheap.:lmao:
