Upstate SC to Gettysburg PA

[carolinagirl]

I will be traveling to Gettysburg PA from the upstate of South Carolina 5-30 thru 6-4. We will be going I-26 to I-81 and into PA.

I will be traveling with mother who is in a wheelchair and has limited vision. I planned to travel up in one day. It is an 8 hour trip and I am allowing 12 hours of travel with plenty of stops and long breaks.

Is there any interesting short stops that are suitable for the handicap?

I don't think you'll have quite as much time for stops as you think, but still, a couple of short excursions out of the car are in order. One would be Hungry Mother State Park which has wheelchair accessible facilities and a paved walk around a lake. Next, perhaps for lunch, would be the town of Lexington, VA which is just a pleasant, historic college town to wander and enjoy. Then, if you have time before sunset, take an alternate route into Gettysburg by leaving I-81 at Winchester, VA and using US-340 through Harpers Ferry to Frederick, MD and then US-15 up to Gettysburg.
