Newton, Pa., to Newark Penn Station

 

This is a cue sheet, not a map. The idea is to give you enough landmarks that you should be able to find your way. If you're off course, stop and ask for directions. If you need help, wait for the van to show up or call one of the cellphones. Mileage is cumulative from the start. Please check in with the van at van stops even if you don't need to refuel. Zero your cyclocomputer at the start!
