I 64 from Outer Banks to Illinois
Are there any steep mountains grades on Interstate 64 from North Carolina to Illinois that we should avoid? Any help appreciated.

You're missing a gorgeous drive. There are some grades on I-64, the longest pull is west of Beckley. There are NONE, ZERO to be afraid of. If coming from NC take I-77 into VA and meet I-64 at Beckley. Tolls are cheap and all good road. Tolls start near Bluefield and are $2-3 at each of two or three plazas.
Tamarack just west of Beckley is well worth a stop to see the skill of WV craftsmen and artists. The food there is by The Greenbrier, one of the premier resorts in the USA.
Once you get to Charleston the hills are finished.
If you come up 77 there is a long pull right at the NC/VA state line but you will miss the long pull west of Beckley.
I'll be heading to Springfield, MO on June 1st so I'll toot as I go thru Illinois. Quick car trip, so no air horn.
