Re: [RC] Trip info - Linda S. FlemmerIt's I68 - not I58 thru WV and MD. (Runs 4 miles from my house.) I68 has some rolling "mountains" through western MD that are beautiful Spring thru Fall. In the winter, it's a hairy drive if there is any snow forcast. It definitely beats taking the PA turnpike that it parallels (20 miles or so to the North).

You are in Maryland at that point. We used to drive this way from Annapolis to Western KY back when I lived in Annapolis and it was the fastest and easiest way to go. With I58 it now even better.

That being said, I 20 around Dallas sucks at rush hour too -- and the maintenance of 20 in MS and LA leaves a lot to be desired. And 20 leads to Atlanta - need I say more? I have done 40 from Nashville to the very end and it's fine, and although it does take you through the Appalachian Mtns, I don't' remember 40 being as hairy as 70 through the Rockies. Then in Raleigh you pick up 85 or 95 to get to MD. Oh and I did 40 across AR in Aug 05 and I didn't notice it being all that bad - boring but not a bad road.
