Can anyone tell me - Time from Boston?

maps.google.com

They are the most acurate I've found.. last year there was a 4 hour! difference between google and mapquest, and google won it. They aren't so different now.. but still not the same


20 hours was my approx time. from Manchester, NH

We should have a MA party when we get down to Manchester TN next week

I am hoping for like 17 hours since I'll be doing most of it at night. If anyone needs a ride, is in the area and can leave at 5:30 on Wednesday, let me know.

Rented an SUV to make the ride a little more comfortable, though not so comfortable on the wallet..

well, it takes me 5-6 hours to get from Delaware to Boston, and it takes about 12 hours to get from Delaware to Bonnaroo, so imgoing be safe and say 18 hours

We're leaving from Forest Hills area (gotta pick my bf up at the T) around 5:30 and going to sneak through Milton to get to 95. I used to live in Western MA and I know the Masspike at 5:30 can still be cramped through 84.

Maybe we'll all find each other on the highway How are the roads at night? Many police? I hate getting pulled over in a rental.

If ya'll want a MA party in TN send me a PM and we can exchange info. Would be cool to meet new local people.

I can only say; it better not take 20 hours....I am hoping on 16 or 17....
add me into the group of people in MA that were NOT born there....I grew up in FL, and just moved up this way at the end of 2005....

I know I can handle the heat and humidity just fine, however I am a bit concerned about rain because we dont have the gear for it....

although we did get a sweet 5 day cooler at wally world today. But as coccomoe pointed out, it's almost worth it to pay 10 bucks more at a nicer place.

also for everyone worrying about police;

Just be polite to them if you get pulled over, try not to act too nervous, remember its perfectly normal to be nervous during a traffic encounter and cops understand this....

The most important thing to remember is the always say NO to the search and tell them you need to be on your way, don't get into any details, just explain you are in a hurry and you need to go asap.

This is important because they have no right to "calls out the dogs" for refusing a search, if you can afford a even half way decent attorney, this evidence should be thrown out, especially if they actually did make you wait...remember, saying no to a search is not probably cause for a search.

Also understand that they are not going to be trying to arrest everyone going to bonnaroo with a little bit of pot, they did that study in '05 that said how much money went into the city? that includes lots of sales tax, that would go to the state, so the cops are not going to bite the hand that feeds them....well the ones near manchester anyways, other county's in TN maybe, but they prob. just want to write lots of speeding tickets / revenue those days i would imagine?

I can only imagine how small the police force was in manchester before the concert started, compared to now, the police probably love/hate the event....they understand the money thing, even in TN. But hate the people because of the hassle.

My brother and I are leaving from the Worcester area on Wed. afternoon around 2 p.m. I'm planning on 16 Hrs but hoping more like 15 which will put us there at about 5-6 a.m. Thurs.

I'd guess 17 hours would be a safe bet... As for your route, Mass Pike West <> 84 <> 81 will save you a lot of time waiting in traffic and 81 is a pretty nice drive =)

took us 20 hours total with 7 people in a minivan last year.. that includes stops for gas and food and beer

... oh yeah leavin anywhere from noon-2pm (hopefully, if everything goes well), from boston on wednesday

aye, im takin basically mapquest directions.... 95 -> 90 -> ct-15 -> 91 -> 95 -> 287 -> 78 -> 81 (woooo fun drive) -> 40 -> etc etc etc -> will-call station -> walmart -> bonnarooooooo
