  1. Looking forward to the long trip in, the Divco. I'm not even going to talk about gas mileage. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    I have travled I75 south thru Atl, to Fla 10 east, many time's.
    The last trip I took, 95 to 77 thru Ohio. It was a nice drive.

    Listed below are three route's from Google.
    I was thinking of driving #1
    Anybody along the route, I can yell out to, if needed.

    1. 1,115 mi, 18 hours 56 mins

    2. I-77 S and I-95 S

    3. 1,147 mi, 19 hours 12 mins
      I-75 S

    4. 1,162 mi, 19 hours 24 mins

    I can't help much with travel recommendations.....but just want to say how nice a build you did with the Divco. I have long been a fan of these iconic vehicles, though I have never (yet) owned one....but you did a fabulous job retaining the integrity of the vehicle while making the desired changes. Congtas and have a fun and safe trip.

    Well, I live within a few miles on the I-77 and I-26 intersection. :)

    You can get off I-95 near Hardeevlle SC and get on Hwy 321 ... and it goes thru small towns and rural areas. Speed Limit is 55 MPH most places. I much prefer this route over the boring interstate. Hwy 321 will take you to the entrance/exit of I-77.
    It is actually a shorter distance. Check the map.
    Hwy 321 used to be the main route to Florida before the interstate came to South Carolina ... and it is still a decent road.
