2/6/2007 We made it to Pittsburgh!!!!

We left Rochester at 6:30 am for Pittsburgh. We decided to take a new route because of the Lake effect snow in Buffalo and Erie Pa. So we jumped on 390 south to Dansville exit 4. There was blowing and drifting snow across the highway. I had to keep my speed in check.We then took route 36 south to route 17 (interstate 86). We headed towards Jamestown. It was about an hour and a half into the trip when Dee got a phone call on her cell phone. It was our son Chris. We had forgot to leave the keys to the car so he could drive to school. We thought about turning around but decided to keep going. We told Chris to stay home and take the day off. Half of the schools in Rochester were off anyway due to the very cold weather.
So we continued to exit 23 to 219 south through the mountains near Alleganey National Forrest. The roads were quite clear. We then took intersate 80 west for approximately 20 mile to exit 78. we then tookroute 28 all the to Pittsburgh. The whole trip took about 6 hours. An hour longer than our usually route.
We ate lunch and checked in.

Dee decide to make the trip back to Rochester.
