I 81 vs. I 95

[papopup]

Has anybody ever taken I 81 to 77 to 95 instead of 95 the whole way down.I have a streets and trips program and this is one of the routes it spit out.Any info would be appreciated,thank you.

Coming from North East Pa. we use 81 to 83 to 695 to 95, then 495 around DC and back to 95. This is for our week at Myrtle Beach. As much as I like WDW, no way would I ever drive from Pa. to Fla. Hope this helps.

I live in Glen Rock (just S. of York) and tho I'd like to try that route, it is just too far out of the way (for me) to get on I-81 in the first place. I'd have to drive almost due west for an hour before I could even turn south.
But coming from farther north, it appears to be a decent option. Been other threads about that route and most agree that the pleasure in bypassing baltimoe, Richmond and especially DC is well worth the effort.

When I lived in Central Pa we took the exact same route as Bill From PA mentioned. Hope this helps.

We have done 81 and 77 to 95. more hills, only Charlotte to go thru for big cities, something like 4 miles longer,not nearly as busy but in the winter i think more chance of snow. We prefer 81 to US 17 to 95, but its really a matter of preference. Good Luck.
