www.googlemaps.com

wonderful tool, you can change the drawn line and see the time effects, or get a Garmin

have garmin and have mapquested, not worried about getting there i just did not know if there are some roads that i should try and avoid. never been that far east, no idea what traffic is like in some of these places.

google maps by the way is way cool!!! had never used before.

Avoid Wash. DC after 2:30 in the afternoon. Traffic is heavy.

DITTO - that junction is a KILLER from 2:30 on, it used to be 3pm just last summer, but keeps gettn worse, I think everyone up there just works half days,
OH and pretty much from lunchtime on, on Friday's

My office is right near the mixing bowl, it's not fun around here at all... it's 2:10 I got to get out of here!!!!

it ads about 50 miles but would it be better to get on 522 s to 81 s to 64 e. that would avoid 270 and 95 in washington. is washington ok if we hit it around noon?

maybe take 66 to 17 than into 95 s at fredrickburg, shorter that way.

Is that Noon on Thursday or Friday. I'll be heading down on Thurs.

A couple years ago I went to Cleveland to pick-up a 30 ft searay....that is the way we went to avoid DC.......you'll be better off 66/17/95.
Richmond traffic is minimal, I'd take 295 around the eastern side of Richmond if your passing through during 4-6 rush hour....otherwise straight through town is fine.

we will head through thursday

yeah it even cuts off a few miles, and that is the way we are heading from. will have to go by cleveland.

Scott, call me. I have tried every way possible and a few I wish I didn't. There is no good way to get there, no matter which way you go you have to go thru some mountains. Make sure your brakes are good on your trailer for the hills and the traffic.
Make sure you go to the correct Hopewell. There is 3 of them in Va.

Noon on Thursday shouldn't be any problem. I'll be right behind you if the NY/NJ traffic doesn't slow me up too much.

so i should just stay home and do boyne thunder? iam just a little afraid to call you for directions, something tells me that we somehow will be finishing up two days on the road and melinda will look at me and say did that sign just say boyne city 10 miles? uh yea jb gave me directions.

I would never do that to you buddy:D The reason I changed the dates on you was because I had guys offering me big money for the slip you had reserved :evilb:

I go down 77 to Beckley WV and then go east on 64. It's 40 miles farther but a lot less traffic.
If you do go that way make sure you fill up at Beckley because it is deserted across there and no place to fuel for about 140 miles:eek:

I have made the entire trip from Indiana to/from Virginia many times. Just call me Scott.
