Re: Route 13 & Route 17 to Fl
wanderingaimlessly wrote: I would even suggest a detour if possible. Taking 13 south the CBBT if you go that way is a great drive, 13'6" overhead clearance. something most folks don't do often, and then once on the south end take 158 south in Chesapeake and go to the outer banks. You can either cut back to the west through Manteo to rejoin 17 south, or take the free ferry from Hatteras to Ocracoke, and then a pay ferry to go on down toward Morehead City NC. And rejoining 17 near Jacksonville or Wilmington NC If the journey is the thing, this is the best route. Camp at the federal campgrounds on the OBX658Views0likes0CommentsRe: Lexington , KY to OBX, NC
campingcasual wrote: Wanderingaimlessly, that's a lot of detail, thanks! How is the traffic from Richmond down to Suffolk? We've been that way a couple of times and I feel like it was bad from anywhere south of DC. If you decide to come through Virginia as opposed to heading south through NC, avoid I-64 east of Richmond. Here is your Virginia route.689Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sharp reverse turn with Equl-i-zer hitch?
I'm no trying to be a smart ass. I've just noticed folks look at backing as a separate maneuver from driving forward. Isn't it the same path for the wheels? Do you remove (or not install) the bars when pulling out of the driveway? How is pulling out different from backing in? Teach648Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mass Pike Boston to Venice FL
RVER wrote: Anyone go 81 to 66 to 234 to 95 down to FL and then a route down to Venice? 77 is pretty far down 81 before crossing over to 95 and it looks like more miles than 66? Yes. I live in Richmond and that is my route north and south. Rt. 234 is 4 lanes mostly. Also I-95 through Richmond is a piece of cake. Even rush hour doesn't come close to being a PITA when compared to DC, Baltimore, et. al. (I also take Rt.15 out of Harrisburg to Rt.17 to 95.) Teach514Views0likes0Comments
