A Great Shortcut
We left Fort Chiswell today heading north on I-77 headed for I-79 which starts just north of Charleston WV. My Garmin kept routing me on a different road. So I zoomed in on the road and discovered that it was a divided highway. US 19. Instead of having to go all the way west to Charleston and then back track east on I-79 we just went north on 19 and saved a good 70 miles and several dollars in tolls. 19 is a very good road with about a dozen stop lights in 75 miles. The road was not anywhere as rough as I-64/77 and we didn't have to brave the insane traffic in Charleston,WV. I will take that road again if we ever head back that way... Dave and Betsy
