If you were to bounce down to Richmond, and take the route that I suggested, it might add 30 minutes to the trip. A buddy towed his 386 Sonic with a Chevy dually with only a 5.7L for power; from DC to SML a few years back. He opted for the route I describe, including towing DC to Richmond, and added less than an hour as opposed to towing down 29. 29 has a lot of lights, a lot of speed traps with patrolled 55 zones. The 360/307/460 route is a lot better. 307 is a shortcut between 360 and 460. This is a 7 mile stretch on 2 lanes that has 2 tall hills, but you can opt to bypass it.

Thanks for the info, I think I will take your advice, would rather go out of my way a little for an easier ride. Lived in Va all my life and have never made it to SML.

We are having a RRBA get together tomorrow night going to see how many are planning on making the trip this year. Should have 5 or 6 boats and a good crowd coming from Tappahannock this year. Hope to come out on Thursday this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Dean and Melissa.
