    Good Morning Everyone,
    
    I have just read the previous note and noticed just 2 things that
    needed correction.  They are:
    
    From N.H. coming down 495 the exit sign for Route 2 East reads
    ACTON, Concord (not ACTION, Concord).
    
    Coming from 128 (A.K.A. 95) and then Route 2 West.  You are going
    to take a LEFT onto route 62 in Concord (not a Right!).
    
    All of the rest of the directions are wonderful!
    
    Regards,
    
    Ruth
                                 

I really don't agree with sending people all the way up 93 and then 
all the way down 128.  It's much easier, a straight line, and I've got 
to believe faster (especially in rush hour) to take the Mass Pike 
West to 128 North to 117 West.


If you do take them 128 South, exit them at 2A West and merge with
2 West at the light with the Mobil station.  That at least avoids them
driving further south to the Rte 2 exit, and then back up again on Rt 2. 


If you do send them Rt 2 (however they got there), it's easier to 
take a Left at the light AFTER the Rte 126 light (this is also marked 
117 truck route).  Follow that to the first light and take a Right 
onto 117 West.  This avoids all of the construction near 62, two more 
lights on Rte 2, and the drive in from west Concord.

    I agree, I was just giveing the straights and simplest way.  I know many
    more way to get to Maynard from N.H. and Boston but I feel the directions
    I give is less confusing.
    

You can't get onto Rt. 117 directly from Rt. 128.
You have to get off at (say) Rt. 20 and do a U turn in Waltham.

re .4  Yes, I figured that is what you were doing.  Due to the heavy 
morning traffic on 93, 93/128 interchange, and 128 south, though, 
the simplicity may be a difficult trade off between the extra time and 
traffic aggravation. 

re .5  You're right, they don't intersect, but the Rt 20 exit is also 
marked for 117.  Unfortunately, the markings after that are vague 
until you get to the actual left hand turn off of Rt 20.


There are a million ways to do this !!

    Also, there is a file SERENA::DIRECTIONS which might help in the
    future.
