First, route 302 to CT 53...

I apologize about the shortness, Flickr is not cooperating in the upload.
After a while (and some human intervention), all of the photos for the rest of Part 5 have been uploaded! Consider this Part 5A. This will cover from the I-81 rest stop at MM 80 to Paxtonia, Pennsylvania. Prepare for a long one.

At this point, we got off I-81 and found our way to US 22, to bypass the excessive traffic, and then stopped at the newly-renovated Speedway in Paxtonia at the corner of Jonestown Road and Lockwillow Avenue.

I will soon continue this in Part 5B, due to the length of this one.
Here is Part 5B, from Paxtonia, PA on US 22, to the MD state line:
We then got on I-83 south at Exit 50, took it to PA 581, and then we followed it to rejoin with I-81.

Part 5C will come shortly.
I've done the Harrisburg to Hagerstown corridor dozens of times. It's so boring. I use all of those 81 exits on a daily basis. I just love Chambersburg, you should stop there to eat sometimes :D.
Note: it's noelbotevera. I'm planning to get it changed soon.
I fixed it, Noel. Anyways, Here's Part 5C: the Mason-Dixon Line (MD State Line) to Hancock, MD at I-68.
