First off, i know this might be a little off topic since im traveling to Key West and not MB this year, but i figured i've been a member long enough to ask my fellow MBMB memebers for some help. We usually drive 77s to 26e to 95s. Every year we drive this we get stuck in a massive back up around cornelius, lake norman all the way into Charlotte, this can last from 2-4 hours on some past trips. I wanted to try and avoid this this year and take a different route, even if this new route is longer i would rather be driving than sitting in a mess..

I was thinking of taking 77s to 74 east to 95s, but am willing to hear any other suggestions from you guys. Thanks for any help you may give, john
