I've only been on US33 east of Elkins once in a truck. I picked up a load of charcoal in Parsons and my 1st delivery was in Harrisonburg. I figured - wow - it doesn't look too bad on the map. The road itself - HUGE difference.
Here's a screenshot of the WV-VA line of US-33:
When I saw that on my GPS, I thought the thing went stupid on me at first.
It took me something like 7hrs to drive from Parsons to Harrisonburg. The bad part of that? It's only 102 miles.

Ya - sometimes shorter definitely isn't better.
