From AZ, I-40 & I-81 to mid-VA, REST STOPS - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums

Son will be driving a jam-packed van so wants to be thrifty yet not pass up anything worthwhile, located within a couple miles of an exit.

He is asking for recommended stops. Rather than simply pull into rest areas, he would like to get off the interstate into nice-to-visit towns for a refreshment and/or meal.

What are some Do & See places along this route?

Safe places for sacking out on a bed roll?

KEMcA: We always like to stop in Lexington, VA off I-81. Beautiful countryside plus it's neat to see VMI, Washington and Lee and a quaint downtown with several good places to eat.
