Yeah, its about 7-7 1/2 hrs from Rochester.
I'm an hour south of Roch, and it took me & Bud about 6-6 1/2 hrs to get there. We had several stops though. Especially since my truck only gets about 120 miles to the tank <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Its actually very easy to get to, about 2/3rds to 3/4 of the way is all expressway.

As to NY wheelin, like everyone else said: LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW OF ANYWHERE!
