Clarence New York to Cary North Carolina

[Connie]

Hi, Looking for directions for a trip (scenic route) from Clarence New York to Cary North Carolina. I want to avoid turnpikes and the thruway at all cost. If anybody can help me......please let me know!

Connie,

As you probably know, the most direct route involves using three Interstates and covers ~ 725 miles one way. But since you are looking for alternatives...

I would start out on NY-16 and cut over to Warsaw on US-Alt-20 and then head south on NY-19 to go through Wellsville on then on into Pennsylvania on PA-449. Depending upon the time you have for the journey, you could either go due south (more or less) exploring the four state forests or cut over US-666 and drive west and go through the Allegheny national forest. The Tall Oaks Fall festival is one of our favorite haunts in that part of the forest (http://www.roadtripamerica.com/places/talloaks.htm).
