Fuel up for fun that's closer than you think
Thanks to access to interstates 81, 80, 390, 84 and 476, the region gives residents easy and direct access to New England, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and Upstate New York.
With gas prices still hovering in the $3.50 per gallon range, some travelers might be rethinking taking a summer vacation. But there are plenty of destinations accessible in one day and on a single tank of fuel.
“Northeast Pennsylvania is located in a unique position for travelers looking to get away this summer,” said AAA Mid-Atlantic spokeswoman Jana Tidwell. “Travelers in this region can drive in any direction and find a variety of destinations and activities, all on a tank of gas or less. Whether you like the beach or big cities, mountains or lakeside retreats, history or hideaways, there is a one-tank trip for everyone within a few short hours.”
Whether you’re looking for an outdoor adventure, wanting to catch a baseball game, hoping to tour a historic site or just want to get away for some family fun, the options are limitless.
Here are a few:
PLAY BALLThere are four Major League Baseball teams that play within a tank of gas of Wilkes-Barre. But if a ticket to the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Baltimore Orioles or Philadelphia Phillies is a bit too pricey, then minor league baseball may be right for you.
There are no fewer than 21 other professional baseball teams playing within 200 miles of Wilkes-Barre.
Besides our very own Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, who play in Moosic, there is another Triple A team playing in eastern Pennsylvania – the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs in Allentown. At the Double A level, the Binghamton Mets, Harrisburg Senators, Trenton Thunder and Reading Phillies are all within a tank of gas and with reasonable prices for tickets, food and parking.
There are quite a few Single A teams, as well. In addition to the Williamsport Crosscutters, there are the Wilmington Blue Rocks, Lakewood BlueClaws, State College Spikes, Staten Island Yankees, Hudson Valley Renegades, Brooklyn Cyclones, Auburn Doubledays and Hagerstown Suns.
And just over two hours away, in the picturesque village of Cooperstown, N.Y., are the hallowed halls of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Induction ceremonies for the Class of 2011, including Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar will take place July 23.
The Little League World Series in South Williamsport is also a nice place to catch a game. The series begins Aug. 18 and a champion will be crowned on Aug. 28.
