Fancy Gap is on I-77. And yes, you go under the Blue Ridge parkway at the crest of the mountain. That said, Fancy Gap is only about 20-25 minutes from the I-81 intersection. 77 and 81 run together for a minute and it confuses everyone since it is 81 south and 77 north and vice versa in the other direction. You are also right about no where to turn until you get into NC. That mountain has its own weather patterns too. Crazy winds, fog, etc. Growing up near there, you were always hearing about a wreck of some type.
