Taking the non-freeway route would have been the only option available in 1936-37 to travel from New Cumberland south to the Jackson's Mill camp. According to
Google Maps, traveling south through Wheeling and then on to Clarksburg would take 3 hours and 16 minutes today to drive the 126 miles. Then another 20 miles on US-19 to reach Jackson's Mill after lunch at West Virginia's largest restaurant, Anderson's.

Where we ate on our way to Jackson's Mills 1936 & 1937.
Jane & Rowena Herron drove the girls down and Rev. McDevitt the boys.
There is currently no restaurant in Clarksburg named Anderson's.
