The Virginia cities of Rocky Gap, Wytheville and Fancy Gap are joined during the short distance I-77 travels through Virginia. For some of the way I-77 joins I-81 and that is a great place to get gas. This section of I-77 is known for the mountain at Fancy Gap. Drivers should use extreme caution in this area in foggy conditions. Weather reports may not warn of low clouds which cause poor visibility. I think this is the most dangerous section of Interstate 77 and deserves the complete attention of drivers.
Please share with other drivers your experiences as to which exits are best for single travelers or anyone for that matter. Reasons for the choice may include the safety of the surrounding area, the availability of good hotels and restaurants or proximity to the interstate. Please make sure to give the exit number or a description of the location. For example, when I discuss I-40, I would recommend Exit 145 in Oklahoma City. Many hotels and restaurants were located at this exit and I felt safe in the area. This exit was very convenient for easily continuing west without the hassle of dealing with early morning rush hour traffic.
