[TR] Driving from Maryland to Texas for the VTR Nationals

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Not to miss?  Well, there's Dollyworld.  You might consider a detour to the Tail of the Dragon.  I-40 from Asheville to Knoxville is scenic but heavily traveled and I was run off the road by a semi changing lanes.  Travel at your own risk.

Coming from St. Louis, I will be driving I-44 to Vinita, OK and 69 into Texas.  I plan on giving Dallas a wide berth.  The traffic there is epic.

  You picked the perfect route, driven it many times from Seguin TX to Camden DE  and back.  A bit hilly, but great scenery. You definitely do not want to do I95 to I10, although its flat all the way. Its very busy and I 10 is not in that good of shape,  especially in Louisiana . Spend a night in Nashville or Knoxville, great restaurants.

I’m thinking safety in numbers and whether you’re driving or trailering your car, perhaps we can meet up and head down together.    I’m thinking of leaving central MD, heading west to I-81 South, then driving towards Knoxville, TN and picking up I-40.  Then I’d follow I-40 past Nashville, past Memphis, to Little Rock, AK, where I’ll pick up I-30.  Lastly, follow I-30 to Dallas then I-35 south to Austin then on to Dripping Springs.  According to Google, for me, it’s about 1,600 miles one way.    I’m in the planning stages.  Any comments wrt the route, road conditions, things not to miss and things to avoid are welcome.  If interested, contact me off list as I’m on the Digest.    Cheers,    Gary Klein Severn, MD tr6.guy at verizon.net
