I just drove from Pittsburgh to Crystal River, FL earlier this week. Left Pgh Mon. arrived FL Wed.
I stayed at the Walmart in Elkins, NC just off I-77. This is a new Walmart with little traffic. Then the Cracker Barrel at Pooler, GA.
I would not take 301 south of Columbia. I've taken this route. It is 10 miles further than I-95. All of I-95 in GA is now 3 lanes.
The highways down were in great condition. Traffic was very light. The best I've seen in almost 40 years. I drove this route years ago when the WV turnpike was only 2 lanes and I-77 wasn't completed.
