[AT] Tractor looking

Charlie,

If I have it right that rt 17 or I-86 is now known as the southern tier 
expressway or something like that.  That road beat the daylights out of me , 
my truck and my trailer.  I like to travel with my laptop with GPS on the 
console for entertainment even when I don't need it on interstates.  The 
ride was so rough it kept shaking the CD open and losing my program.  I hope 
I never have to go that way again.

The laptop was at least able to count down the endless miles till we got to 
I-90.  :-)

>>>As Cecil mentions, there are still many real back roads in Southerntier
