Looking for routes for a 40 foot class A towing a full size pickup. We will be staying at Linville Falls, NC next week and spending some time riding our Harley on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our next stop will be Fancy Gap, VA.Do I need to retrace my route back to Marion NC and pick up I-40 to I-77 or is there a safe reasonable way for me to get from Linville Falls to Fancy Gap, VA? Maybe US421 to I-77? But how to get to US-421? Looking for those suggestions from those with real life experience. I have used Google maps and can see the routes on my screen but that doesn't tell the whole story. Thank you!

Cant answer your question but wanted to throw in a "side ride" for you in the Fancy Gap area. 58 east past Lovers Leap, just go slow, and then to state rt 8 north a few miles to rt 57 to Fairy Stone State park, After Fairy Stone backtrack on 57 to again take rt 8 north to return to the BRP around Rocky knob recreation area. Beautiful ride we took a few years ago in a ragtop. Sending you a pm with links to a couple of sites if you care to check them. Happy motorin

421 to 77 FROM BOONE is a great road 4 lanes most/all the way. No issues at all. Done it several times and live nearby. BUT, it would be very difficult to get to Boone from Linville in a big rig. Think you have to go back to 40. Where you staying in Linville? Didn't know there was anything big rig friendly.

Dry camping but there is a dump near the campground.

One more idea if you don't want to go back to Statesville on 40. Get back on 40 and get off in Hickory on to US 321 (4 lane). In Lenoir get on NC 18 and take it to 421 then 77. 18 is a great 2 lane road through the country side. When we need to get on 77 north, this is the route we take in our 40' DP, towing.
