George, if you still have it handy, could you post a link to the map? There's a little link icon right next to the print button.

I think you need to login to Google, I forgot my password...

It didn't take long to do I will try to re-create later.

Why dont you come with us and lead us there

The confusion is, if we are coming from Columbia, what exit do we take to get on this route ?

Is anyone up for a going with me and check out the route someday before the cruise ?

I am not sure I am free that weekend, but maybe. It's a all day drive for sure, hard to find that much time lately.

Exit 1B from I-70

Can you give me the written directions for the points 1 - 9 in the map you posted ?

It seems like you took Route 9 from I-70 down to Rt 29 or something

I tried to draw that map on Google and i came up with the following map. Let me know what you guys think about it

The only issue i see with this route is, there are points where the speed limit is 40mph but the roads and scenes are GOOD

that Map is from Fall Colors 2006, that is a different route all together. it starts and ends at the Rocky Gap resort.

Try this link for a run from I 70 just before Hancock to Cumberland.
