Re: Best way to get to Snowshoe from Richmond, VA?

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.

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.
