I have a feeling you would know better than I about driving through the Appalacian highways. I spent a night in Shatley Springs some years ago, but I was not towing an RV. I would like to come back there some day to see if it would be as much fun as it was then.

Staying well north of Omaha, NE to Norfolk, NE. (US 275, US 20 to US 83).
None of this is intended as recommendation, but to give an example of the possibility of the kind of route you asked about in your original post.
We love the hills of North Carolina--after all my ancestors came from there on the way to Tennessee and Texas.
Thanks for that, I will research that route further.
Shatley Springs remains pretty much like it has been for the lat 40 years, y'all c'mon back.
