The first time I saw Skyline Drive was thoroughly exhilarating, it took us ALL DAY to go the first 100 miles. So many places along the route just call you to get out, come see, get pics, get back in, LOL repeat as necessary!
This time of year you would be treated to some beautiful colors! (+ a million "tourists" from DC getting out in their convertible Mercedes, as they crowd the parkway during peak color season).
If you like big guns: Ft St Augustine has the tour of the old Spanish fort. The costal guns are bronze and quite large. Was an impressive site. Also the winery near by is also a good stop. I remember tasting quite a bit of good wine.
Rich,
I live near Jacksonville, Fl within 15 miles of I-295 & I-10. If you have problems along the way and are somewhat nearby or if you are more local to me and find you need a break from the road for spell let me know. I have tools, enjoy coffee and I’ll come out to meet or you/your guest can drop by the house for a spell.

Hint : The chopped Brisket is better than the pulled pork ... I'm normally a pulled pork guy ...But I've tried Both , side by side ... I believe the Chopped Brisket is much more flavorfull ... I get the Brisket evry time ... Two , one for now and one for later ... I don't know how they do it but it's Slap Your Momma Good !
Cheap Gas Prices too ... be sure to fill up !

Consider Rt 84 to RT 81 to Rt77 to Rt 26 then pick up 95 in SC and head south- it's a smoother ride than 95. Crossing Fancy Gap is pretty scenic, do some of the Blue Ridge Parkway, there is the 8th Airforce Museum at exit 103 in GA on 95.
I was surprised by the number of auto carriers on I10 and all the U-Haul trailers going west! I fear the destination was Texas.
At various times when the numbers of refugees coming here was pretty high.
They have to pay to ship those trailers back.
At times, you could get a U-Haul trailer here for free if you were taking it 'one way'
back to one of the states where so many people were coming here from.
