Southern Indiana to Outer Banks in June
Hi All, We're heading to the Cape Hatteras area in the second week of June. Leaving from South Eastern Indiana so we'll be going down I74 thru Cincy. From there it looks like we have two options. ...

We did vacay last year in the Outer Banks. Stayed at Camp Hatteras. It was great, but a long way from "anywhere".
If I were going, I would head down I-64 to I-77 through Mt. Airy then on to Winston Salem. That is actually the way we went. Yes, traffic in Winston-Salem and even in Raleigh can be rough, but nothing like the traffic in/around the Norfolk area.
On your way back home, you might want to check on road closures because when we were in Winston-Salem a week or two ago, I-40 was closed for some roadwork. It was about 10 miles of it, but that can bottleneck traffic trying to go around it. Hopefully, they will have finished whatever they are doing by June.
Unless you go WAY out of your way, you are going to have to go through/over some mountains. You will be on an interstate highway, so all sorts of LARGE vehicles utilize them all the time. Just slow down and obey traffic signs/signals and speeds. If the speed limit is 65 and there are flashing lights and it says 45 mph curve, take it at 45, not at 65 OR 75!!
