I might be a little crazy on this one, but headed out shortly to Cockeysville, MD for really what's an afternoon, evening mini family reunion, then returning Monday. I95 all the way down until I split at 695 in MD. I'm not worried about today, it's tomorrow that should be the bear.

If anyone has a sneaky route back to SE Mass where I can avoid the most traffic, I'd love to hear it. I'm thinking right now to take 287 around the NYC area, but I know I still get hung up at the Tappan Zee Bridge. It's a 6-1/2 hour trip normally. I have all day and am even thinking to go as far north as I84.

Honestly, there's probably no hope to avoid a 4th of July traffic jam, but thought I'd entertain some travel ideas....I have all day, and might need it!Thanks.
