Had to check on Mechanicsville ~ right time of day if you avoid the trucks on I81, then get off on some of those extrawide primaries the Byrd Machine put in all over the state (except in Northern Virginia) you can get to a lot of places fast.
For "outsiders" you may be unaware of the Fall Line in Virginia. This is an upheaval area created by a meteor millions of years ago ~ and it left rows of concentric ridges all through the Mid-Atlantic. You get beyond the meteor upheaval areas it's pretty flat all the way to the Piedmont, so there are some segments of Virginia that have flat, straight roads just like the Midwest.
This area ain't one of them!
LMAO!!! Laughing at myself. That would be Mechanicsville, VA not PA (which is near 81) You should have heard me...81? What is she talking about 81? I don't go through Charlottesville to get to Northern VA. Then I realized, there is more than 1 Mechanicsville in this country.
Talk about being a native Virginian!!
