That looks like a good route and am very familiar with I77. Now to find a decent place for overnight not too far off the highways somewhere near the halfway mark. I can see some around the 450 mile mark.
**********************************************
In NC on I74 at exit 8 there is a campground, Beechnut CG.
to get to it- I74 exit 8, go left on Red Brush road, watch for signs. there is a sign on the corner of Red Brush and George McKinney road, turn right on George Chandler road, go about 1/4 mile. CG is on the left.
Another one, on I74 at exit 11 , at highway US601. turn right, go about 1/4 mile, turn left on McKinney road, look for signs.
Mayberry CG.
We live in Mt. Airy and have been to both of these many times.
Beechnut is about 3 miles from our house. Mayberry is about 7 miles.
To continue South, take I74 which runs into US52, and continue South to Winston Salem. At exit 107A go East, here take I40 East for a couple miles and pick up I74 again.
