yikes, Gina!
The roads are very tricky back there.
I've done that trip -- heck it I can remember HOW. But I do remember being on Crunker Hill Road.

Creepy River? hehe.

I'm sorry to hear this. I know you hate driving through Princeton, but it is the easiest way...get on 33 and go.

Did you see Washington's headquarters on Crunker Hill Road?
That whole area is fraught with Revolutionary War history.

In fact, an incident took place right up on Creepy River.

I know, I know, who cares.

Well, I hope this incident won't dissuade you from coming up for another night at Dark Sky Spa.

Hey! look on the bright side, you did get to see the Morning Star!

Next time, come up with Chris. He knows the way back to work.

Anyway, I'm so sorry you had to endure that ride. It must have been extremely stressful.

I LOVE the back roads, Ang, and had I taken them I would have been there sooner. As it were, I took them to Rt 27 and then out to 1, where I missed that turn onto 591 or 133...I saw the intersection but couldn't get over to the jug handle in time, and saw that traffic on 1 was backed up for miles through the Princeton area. I stayed on 1, expecting to hop on 295 to 33, but got behind a stinking box truck and missed that exit. WOUND up 50 miles out of my way, in the heart of Trenton. With a sore throat, a full bladder and the sun in my eyes! ....I'm over it.

Yes I have seen some interesting historical sites out that way. I love the little hamlets sprinkled through the wooded hillsides of Franklin. I still want to write about my stay at your B&B!
