Hi All,
 
As mentioned earlier, my usual mobile effort as W3USA will not happen this  
year. I'll be in NJ earlier in the week, and heading home on  I-80 through 
PA on Sunday, from east to west. I'm hoping to leave NJ early  enough to 
spend a good part of the day stopping to operate as a rover from some  of the 
less common counties.
 
I'm presently figuring on COL, MTR, NUM, UNI, and CLI. There are rest areas 
 on I-80 in all of those but NUM. Does anybody know a suitable place close 
to  I-80 in NUM? I just need a place to park with a 30 foot tree close  by,  
where people won't be bothered by my presence for an hour or so. 
 
I'm figuring on a hour or so at each stop. This could let me get as far  
west as CLE and CRN, two that are often on the rare list. Also LYC is only  
about a mile off the road from UNI, so I might also stop there if I'm  well on 
time.
 
I'll be checking the reflector before departing early Sunday for reports on 
 what might be needed, and will gladly receive suggestions over the air on  
Sunday.
 
I haven't decided at this point whether I'll be using W3USA or K8MR in the  
contest, though I make a few qsos from NJ on Saturday as K8MR.
