    Has anyone ever take US 220 south out of Cumberland MD? Im trying to get from Cumberland MD to Romney WV.

    Then maybe US 220 down to Moorfield? Id hop on US 48 east to get back to I-81 I believe @Dave1837 is familiar with the US 48 portion.

    Yea I thought about him, I just thought it might be a little too Far East in the state for him :)

    I'll be in that neighborhood tomorrow.

    Truck router shows 220 down to 50 at New Creek and east to Romney as a good route.

    Then 50/29/127/522 to Winchester.

    Also shows 220 south to 33 across to 81 at Harrisonburg as a good truck route but I find that hard to believe. Looks pretty iffy to me.

    Yea unless someone tells me 220 south the 33 to harrisonburg is a good route I wont try that :)

    Yeah I think Im ok 220S to 50 to Romney.... and I looked on another thread here and another driver has been across US 48 from I-81 to somewhere in VA.

    I know 48E from Moorefield to I-81 is good. Also wondering if 220 From Romney to Moorefield is any good.

    Back in the 1900's I did it several times in a semi, it's a lot more fun on a motorcycle!

    Don't the 1900's go from 1900 to 1999? I started driving driving semi in 1964 and retired in 2006.
