I have always hated the entire stretch of I-81 across Virginia. Used to run it up and down it at least once, sometimes twice, weekly and did that for about 10 years. It's 323 miles of pure boredom with the occasional 10 mile cluster jammer tossed in. Talk about fun! I have been in the middle of some absolute monstrosity backups on 81 in VA over the years. One winter night a few years ago I parked and slept in the middle of the ice covered road at the northbound mile marker 122. This week is the Bristol race and that was always good for some clustering... Yippeee!!!
