Re: Takin' a trip
Thank-you for taking the time to help, I really do appreciate it, but I've been up and down I-95 many times too  . If you read my post you'll see I already have most of my alternate trip planned. It's that area through Virginia after I get off the interstate that I'm looking for suggestions on. Sometimes those roads on the map look better than in real life so I was hoping someone in that area that is familiar with the roads could make some suggesions. |

| You could get off at Lexington and take 60 over to 29, 29 to Danville. Beyond Danville, you're on your own.
29 is a four-lane highway (2 in either direction) most of the time, speed limit 55 or 60. There are lights and you do go through towns, however. |

Thank-you AB that it pretty much what I was planning. From Danville it looks like 86 south to I-40. The other option would be to take 501 from Lynchburg all the way to Durham then work my way into Raleigh.
The only reason I'm asking for some guidance is because 2 years ago we took I95 to Richmond then I64 to Charlottsville and spent the night. The next day we visited Monticello in the morning then headed out taking route 250 over the mountains until we eventually reached I79. It was beautiful country but that trip across 250 was the longest trip of my life. I have never seen so many hairpin twists and turns on one road in my entire life   !! |
