Pretty neat tool. I can't say I've ever used that before. It looks like if I take SR-53 the whole way from I-77, I'm looking at about 436 miles, but some pretty hilly terrain from Hillsville (duh!) through Stuart. Taking the SR-460 to I-81 to SR-220 route would be about 456 miles. Longer, but should be flatter. Hmm, we'll see how adventurous I feel.
edit - Todd, google's saying that way is 484 miles. I've towed down I-77 before and didn't have much difficulty with it. Just need some patience for some of those hills. But hey, at least gas is cheap, so I'll just floor it.
