Welcome back to the RTA Forum!

I'm not sure why you'd be surprised by GLC's response. His response, including information about I-81 and the travel time you need for this trip are nearly identical to the responses when you asked about this same trip 2 years ago. You might want to revisit that thread for a refresher on the other tips you were given at that time. However, you'd also indicated that you'd completed the trip at that time, so I'm also a little puzzled about why doing it again would be troubling or confusing for you?
