Scenery
This route covers the gorgeous rolling North Carolina hills crossing nothing along the way, and snaking it way around a valley, for the most part. The route starts out off of the superslab US-40 and launches you in the year 1785, complete with cattle grazing and farmers working.
Drive Enjoyment
Good road, just quite narrow in spots. Mind some semblance of the speed limit in the areas with home around. Mind the spare change around certain corners.
Tourism Opportunities
Absolutely nothing to do along the way so if you need gas, get it before you get on this road.
