Brad,
I'd recommend avoiding 58 if you value your life and your vehicles! I made the
big mistake of following Mapquest down that route several years ago. It has
over 10% grade in several sections both up and down, plus switchbacks that make
you think you're in a James Bond movie. But you're not driving an Aston. In a
Suburban with open trailer I was in first gear at 10 mph for hours, wondering
whether I'd cook the brakes or the trans first.
Coming back I think we went north on 29 to 64. (The memory of that leg isn't
quite as vivid for some reason.)
Regards,
Gary Schneider

Not sure how the 58B got there but it should have read highway 58.

Subject: [Fot] VIR route planningWe're planning our travel route from Richmond
KY to VIR and I'm wondering if
anyone has been on highway 58B between Danville and Hillsville (close to
I-77)B in VA.B It appears to be somewhat of a twistyB 2-lane highway.B Not
sure if I would enjoy driving our 31' motorhome pulling the race car on a
road
like that.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
