We were checking toll prices to make sure I have enough on my I-PASS. All was well until.............
PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
$24 one way. Are you serious!!!!!!!!!! Why would anybody drive on that thing. It better be like driving on glass. Needless to say we will be coming in from the N & NW.

Anybody planning on coming in on that might want to check their website.

What!?! How on earth can the toll be that much? I think one route I looked at had a toll, and I need to take an exit towards I-76/Penna Turnpike/PA-272/Pa Turnpike/Denver. I believe this was part of the usual route when I rode in with both Hutt, and Mark A. I don't recall any toll being that much from this end. But if anyone knows for certain, please let me know.

Yeah, the Turnpike hurts now days. I have been using other routes top go west. 322 through Penn State is a nice ride and not much longer to drive from here to Indiana (PA).

Robert, if you are coming from the north. Look at a route that takes you to Allentown, PA then south. That is the path I take when going north.

That seems to be the way it looks when I mapped it out. We are leaving early enough and will enjoy the ride. What's the big hurry?

Oh wait, diecast show is the big hurry!!

Here is their website. Very easy to use. Just put in where your getting on & off, and what kind of vehicle and it will tell you your toll.

Looks like I'm only coming in between 2-3 dollars when I put in the nearest towns listed in the drop menue. Even if it goes a bit more, that shouldn't be too bad.

Yikes!!! I'll be going this route, which I believe will skirt around the tolls. We don't take kindly to that sort of thing where I'm from :lol:

Yeah, I avoid the Turnpike at all costs. I assure you, $24 is not a typo! You'll cross Indiana and Ohio combined much cheaper than going halfway across Pennsylvania. I would stay on I80 until 322 (like Nick suggested). 322 will take you almost all the way to the show and it's a nice scenic drive. Not an expressway like I80 or the Turnpike but it's a nice drive!
