We did the Rt. 17 Coastal route one time in an RV heading back from
Florida. Picked it up south of SC and followed it north. I forget
where we re-connected to I-95 but it was probably in Virginia.

Not a time saver by any stretch of the imagination. Lights and
stops
all along the way. But, it was a refreshing change from I-95 with
a
lot of local "stuff" to view.


It's something to consider. We have time to make a stop at either
Charleston or Myrtle Beach.

It was .... shall we say .... Interesting? Not a route I'd take
everyday but it was different. Glad we did it once.
I am still planning a trip down to the Isle of Palms area in South
Carolina to see my son and his family. Mrs.E. flies down, but I don't
do airplanes anymore unless absolutely necessary and even then with
much hesitation. Haven't made the drive south on I-95 for a few
years now and am not sure I am looking forward to it. I've heard
horror stories.


Try to hit the stretch between DC and Richmond between 2 and 4 AM. It's gotten to be a real bitch.
Took us almost three hours to get here from Richmond. It used to be a 90 minute trip.
