Due to the holiday and travel, this is your last “What You Need to Know…” We’ll be back on Monday.
Meanwhile, that’s plenty of time to pre-order Get Around North Carolina. Today’s preview of the book, is on navigating I-26:
I-26 might not be on your radar if you don’t drive in the mountains on a regular basis. However, even if you don’t, it’s worth taking a trip. Just like I-77 and I-40 and to a slightly lesser extent I-85 in the mountain areas, I-26 is not for the faint of heart. One of its highest points is 3,760 feet high. It sustains an elevation of at least 3,000 feet for at least 2 miles of its alignment in the state. The highest bridge in the state is there. You’ll naturally encounter I-26 if you drive from Kingsport, TN, through Asheville and onward through South Carolina where you encounter Columbia and eventually Charleston.
Alright, here’s your news:
