He won't make it to Lexington by following I-77 I-75 would take him to
Lexington if he flew over to the Knoxville area and followed it north.
Have a good trip Eric and say hello to ManOWar Blvd for me,...such a
cool name for a street. Named after the race horse..of course of course!

I think I may have needed to be more specific. I'm heading from
Charlotte, NC to Lexington Kentucky and then on up to Northwest Ohio.
You had me going there for a moment when you referred to following I-85
since to my knowledge it doesn't cross the mountains.

The consensus appears to be the gap by Asheville that heads up toward
Greeneville through the river valley.

If you are going I Follow Roads, you could go up I-77, all the way. It is
the most direct route by car, but I do not know the elevations of the
passes, going that way.
