Re: What's half way between Pittsburgh and Boston?
Timewise, I would say Port Jervis/Matamoras. We used to live in Pittsburgh and traveled to Boston all the time. It takes more time to go through the populated parts of the trip, i.e. NY, Connecticut and Mass. The PA part is a breeze by comparison, hence you are going to travel further for the same time in PA, hence distance wise you are better off getting as far east as possible on your way to Boston. Port Jervis/Matamoras looks like an interesting place too.

Re: What's half way between Pittsburgh and Boston?
From: "P. J. Alling" I've considered this question for a couple of days. Apparently Scranton PA, a place thats been described to me as the middle of nowhere, is about half way between Pittsburgh and Boston. So I guess there's really nothing half way between Pittsburgh and Boston... Mark Roberts wrote: I'm finishing up the work on the house in Pittsburgh (it gets officially listed for sale on Monday) and I'll probably be on the road for Boston on Wednesday.

I've considered New York City but I'm not entirely comfortable with taking the motorcycle through there. Any suggestions from the teeming millions of the PDML much appreciated. Looking at the map, Scranton PA ends up being just about half way.
