Heading from NJ to TN soon

Also construction on 81 SB in Virginia btw Exit 128 and Exit 118 - making the truck lane continuous through there. Most of the nastier stuff nearer to Exit 118...

If you are traveling with kids and have time, there is a really cool safari park off of I-81 north of Roanoke VA near Natural Bridge. I-81 Exit 180. We did that a couple years ago with the kids and had a great time. It took about 1 1/2 hrs to do the 3 mile drive around the park. It also has a petting zoo attached to it.

I appreciate the heads-up. I've been there before, as well as the Natural Bridge. Both places I've been to when I was a kid, and I have plenty of fond memories. Unfortunately on this trip it will be all adults and we don't have too much extra time, as a couple of people have to be back to work on Monday. I wanted to visit the Natural Bridge again, but it's just not in the time schedule. I'd also like to explore more of US 11 for my own personal road geeking. However, I know others would balk at me taking a non interstate when there's one parallel to US 11. So, with all that said, on the way down and back we have to push hard and only stop for food/fuel and pee breaks.

I'm headed there. After going there in person, it's much better being there than watching it on TV. The TV coverage just can't cover everything that's happening.
I tend to avoid I-81 on race days opting for the parallel routing of US 321 from Newport and US 11E. Much less traffic!
