I love that drive through Fancy Gap. Beautiful scenery. Some of the nicest farms you’ll ever see.
Lot of trucks, though. Gotta keep your head in the game.
I-77 in general has gotten very busy, starting to remind me of I-81 down the valley in Virginia as far as the heavy traffic, a lot of semis. There was another fatal rear-end accident at the very same spot less than a week later, mile marker 62 heading north, in NC.
The grade up to Fancy Gap is something in wind, fog or blowing snow too, I’ve seen trucks blown over many times. If you see high wind warnings or those digital speed limit signs show a low limit, take it seriously.
