Lucky to be alive!

I do not like to run 522 between Hancock, Md and Winchester, Va. A few extra miles thru Hagerstown is well worth it.

 

That's the area I wrote about a few weeks ago about interstates and highways you have to be careful on you really have to take your time driving on some of those roads behind Winchester va prayers go out for the trucker and his family

 

Yep, gotta watch it up there.
That route is busy with trucks cutting off the corner between the I-70 and I-81.
Saves all of 23 miles going 522.
But I'd bet the slowing down, stopping, and gearing up bites into any fuel savings.

 

yeah its a dived hwy thru there with narrow lanes and lots of hills and curves. The speed limit is 55 but some folks go much faster.

 

I run 522 all the time to get to Front Royal, VA. It's not a bad road, cuts some miles off. Just a lot of pulls. You have to be aware of what you're doing.

 

Run it all the time myself when going to Front Royal. I never really considered it especially dangerous. Just got to be alert
