Dick:
Suggest you consider getting off the Parkway at Fancy Gap, Virginia.
I-77 Crosses the parkway at that point. You can take I-77 to Columbia SC,
pick up I-26 in Columbia, and drop down to I-95 and continue your trip.
You'll be within an hour's drive of my home in Greensboro, NC right
after you get off the parkway. If you are thinking of stopping overnight,
we can put you up here. Have plenty of room.
Regards,
Ed in Greensboro, NC
