[MR] [Keep] Alternate Non-toll route to Pennsic

This is a handy calculator from the turnpike's website directly. Looks
like it'll be $10.00 for a car.

"To this end should a truly chivalrous man know something of arts and
courtesies as befits the quality of his character, else the world
shall think him nothing but a knuckle-dragging troglodyte in
vambraces." -Lady Swannoc
"This statement presupposes that a chivalrous man is a man with
martial training. Then should a courtier skilled in the arts and
sciences know something of the martial arts else the world could think
him nothing but a poncy perfumed fop in lace." - Gaston de M. GD, AT,
