So.....if I'm heading out to Blackwater State Park one Saturday morning and am picking someone up in DC on the way, is Corridor H the fastest route? I used to travel 70W to 68W to 219S, but that seems unnecessary if I'm going to be in town already. Probably 2.5-3 hours for weekend morning traffic?

Yes take 66W to 81S to Exit 296 for US 48/VA 55 West towards Wardensville. Watch your speed in Wardensville, as you come down the mountain the speed limit drops to 35 then 25 and they are there waiting for you :)  Once you past Wardensville, US 48 opens up to a 4 lane highway with some amazing views. It is now open to the top of the front range past Scherr. Climb up the front range and by the time you reach the giant wind turbines, the 4 lane highway will end and then have to get on 2 lane WV 93 towards Davis, WV. Then down Rt 32 to Blackwater Falls SP.  It is a gorgeous drive from Wardensville to the top of the Allegheny Front where the wind turbines are located. Here are some pics from Dec 2012 when I went to snowshoe

This is the exit off I 81 you want

 

Ahead another few miles US 48 , the 4 lane part wasnt finished yet, so we had to get off at Scherr. But with it open all the way to the top, you wont have to take 42 up the windy switchbacks up the mountain now. This is much safer.

Enjoy.
