Yep. Rt. 211 looks nice on the map, and it's not bad. However, it's a major
squid zone, with multiple accidents & tickets & heavy enforcement on a regular
basis. There's a lot of other nice stuff in the area (Jon Kadis found Moyers
Gap Rd. in May, and it's a real treat) that you should look for in place of 211.

I'm glad your chat with VA's finest turned out to be uneventful.
