General Notes
- The route takes VA-36 E instead of VA-10 the entire way to avoid a dubious tunnel/underpass.
- From Oaklawn Blvd on:
- No good places to stop the last 40 miles of the drive
- the tree maintenance is not good. If your RV is over 10 feet, there is no good way to get to the park without brushing tree limbs.
- Chippokes State Park does not trim back trees either.
