Jan -
Walt Daniels is right.  We live near DC - and I don't usually use I-95 north 
of Baltimore.  It's bad enough around DC - but then you've got Baltimore, 
Wilmington, New Jersey - and New York.  And Connecticut.  And few, if any, 
places to camp.  I figure  I-81 may be a little longer, but it saves us 
several hours and a lot of frustration.  YMMV -
Walk softly (and avoid all that traffic),
Jim

PS - for Greg -   I-70 in Maryland is one of the places with a dedicated AT 
bridge.
