After evaluating our options Monday morning we scrapped the idea of cutting over to 95 in Fredericksburg and instead drove another 200 plus miles south on 81 and took 77 to 26 and hit 95 much further south in South Carolina. After learning what we missed by not cutting over to 95 in Fredericksburg we were VERY HAPPY we changed our travel plans. We still had to drive through lots of snow, but the traffic was light and the roads were in reasonably good shape. We only encountered one accident which slowed us down for a couple miles. Things could have been a lot worse and we are relieved to finally be at our Villages home until spring : (

Using 81 to 77 to 26 to 95, approximately how much more time would that add to the trip even on nice summer days? Looking for an alternate to get into central Pa from TV other than I-95 all the way. Not too fond of 95. Grueling !!!!
