[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just drove there and back to pick up my son at camp. 1000 miles in 2 days. And I have never driven more than 4 hrs by myself.  It took 9 hrs down and 8 hrs back, though I went a bit further to Brevard. It was long but a beautiful drive.  He wants to go back next year but I would like to figure out if he can fly one direction. 2 girls from dc flew to the camp and got diverted to South Carolina, and the camp had to go pick them up there![/quote]

My son goes to camp south of Asheville but my friend and I always go to the beach afterwards. One person driving there is a killer.[/quote]

We've had kids at camps in the Brevard area.  I've driven the route by myself and with someone else.  I prefer when I go with someone else.  Also, I try to avoid the 81 route because it seems like it is chock-a-block 18-wheelers riding very close together like one huge convoy in Virginia.  Once you get to Tennessee and then North Carolina the trucks seem to disappear.  The mountains are gorgeous on that route, though!

Occasionally one of the children has flown.  It has always worked out except one time when one of the kids had some big bottles of shampoo and stuff in a carry-on.  The stuff was discarded for obvious reasons by TSA.  But the kid had to unpack the carry-on and then had a tough time getting it all back together and was still flustered about the experience when arriving back in DC.  We presumed that stuff was going in the trunk.  Live and learn for all of us.[/quote]
