RE: Bangor to Crown Point, NY
In addition to being twisty 117 is almost straight up on one side and straight down on the other. A great ride ina sports car, but not very RV friendly. I’ve been both ways many times and agree on 89 to 7. It may be a little slow at first, but after a few miles it opens up and is a fine road with lots of attractions and some great places to eat in the towns along the way. Might even be worth an overnight stay part way along.
RE: Keeping Gypsie Moth Caterpillars at bay
Gypsy Moths are cyclical - one year they may be there and the next year or five years they may not. We’ve seen them practically defoliate much of an area to the point where the trees look dead and the next couple of years the area is green and lovely. I guess you just pay your money and take your chances…
