Best way to get to Snowshoe from Richmond, VA?
I am driving to Snowshoe from Richmond this weekend and wanted some
advise on what route to take once I come off I-64. My kids get motion sickness pretty easily, so I was wondering if there is a way to avoid the most meandering roads without sacrificing much time. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Best way to get to Snowshoe from Richmond, VA?
From Richmond, Snowshoe at http://www.snowshoemtn.com/gettinghere/index.htm
recommends -"From the East Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Norfolk and Richmond Area: 1-64 West to I-81 North to Staunton, VA, West on US-250 then South on 42 to Goshen, VA, then WV-39 West to Marlinton, WV, then 26 miles North on US-219 to Snowshoe. " This route is about 220 miles. A longer route (by about 60 miles) is to take I-81 South to I-64 West, and follow Snowshoe's directions for coming from the South. "From the South Raleigh-Durham, Greensboro Area: North on US-220 to Roanoke and on to Clifton Forge, VA, then I-64 West to White Sulphur Springs, then 92 North to WV-39 West to Marlinton, WV; and 26 miles North on US-219 to Snowshoe. (Highway 92 is a very drivable route from I-64 to WV39). Atlanta, Columbia and Charlotte Areas: North on I-77 from Charlotte to Beckley, WV, then I-64 East to White Sulphur Springs, then 92 North to WV-39 West to Marlinton, WV: then 26 miles North on US-219 to Snowshoe. (You may also leave I-64 at Lewisburg and travel Hwy 219 North to Snowshoe . . . shorter but very mountainous)" I have NOT driven the route from Richmond to Snowshoe, and have no idea about the roads recommended by Snowshoe. I have driven the roads from I-64 to Snowshoe; these roads are not horribly curvy or hilly, but they are not super highways. Ernie "Andrei Outkine" wrote in message ...

Never been to that part of the world, but motion sickness is caused primarily by cognitive dissonance. Ever wonder why nobody ever gets motion sickness when they are driving? Encourage your kids to look out the front window as much as posible, don't let them read or play video games and take a gravol every few hours, starting just bfore you leave. |
