I have a 9 passenger van or a 4 passenger truck and will need folks to share for gas ($10/person). Ideal departure time to beat the I-95 South traffic would be to leave ~1500hrs which puts us TOT @ 1800 or so. I was thinking we could all meet at the commuter lot and go from there.

If you are interested in the ride share I'm starting for tomorrow's drive to/from Norfolk from Lake Ridge/Woodbridge, please contact me ASAP.

Mmm, what route are you taking down there?

Also, I'll put forth that if you came this way, people in Richmond could meet here to join the van.

I also have thought about going down 17 but it takes longer IIRC...

it used to (15+ years ago) be quicker to go that way. With all the development along 17, it's now signifcantly slower to go that way...

Slower and more expensive, with the toll on the Coleman bridge.
