When we played down there the first time, I took 81 to 77, and followed it north to Rocky Gap, then took Rt. 61 into Tazewell. This time I have conducted a Mapquest search and it tells me to only stay on 77 for 17 miles, and then get on US 52. But I would only stay on that for less than a mile and then take a Rt. 614 called Grapefield Road. I am told to then stay on that for 13 miles and it will bring me out on 61 about 8-10 miles east of Tazewell. It sounds like more of a diagonal cut whereas the route I used the first time was a case of going due north, then due west. So would you folks down there concur with Mapquest on this?
And my second question.........what are gas prices like in Tazewell? I am trying to decide whether to fill up here at home and make it down and back all on one tank or plan to leave here with half a tank and then fill up down there before heading back if it is cheaper. That question stems from our trip to Galax a few years ago. I don't remember the specifics but I was shocked that day at how cheap their gas was as compared to ours.
