83 to 15 straight into NY George where it becomes 99 to 390 and cut up around Geneseo towards Batavia and pick up the turnpike to Buffalo. I know the route all too well.

They keep adding to 15 to make it part of I99. Like they did with Rt 17 to make it 86. Trying to figure out if there would be a possibility of hooking up. Corning is about an hour away. Looks like we'll have the grandkids Monday

That they do George. Not sure if I would have the time to swing past to say hi. Will have a friend with me so depends on his schedule and when we get out of Canada.

Never had that issue George. And over the years I have taken muskets, bayonets, and black powder into Canada.

I know I should not George. They will let us in with ease once we explain we are with His Majesties 14th Regiment of Foot. Or if one wants to go for the 1812 era His Majesties 44th Regiment of Foot.
