[MR] Fwd: War of the Wings - Traffic Report - I 81 construction

[Glynis Knibb (Glynis Gwynedd)]

According to Lady Elena, who is enroute to WoW at this time, I 81 is
shut down from exit 132 (in Virginia) until Christiansburg.
Looking at Google maps, it appears that a better route would be to
follow the instructions below from I-81 south. (Please note these
directions originated from my house in Highland Foorde - and I start
on I81 at the MD/WV line.)

According to Lady Elena, it took them half an hour to get off the exit
at exit 132, not including the time they spent in traffic getting TO
the exit.
If you look at google maps, you'll see the route I'm describing.
