[DML] Travel to Pigeon Forge warning

[Jim <jpsenft@xxxxxxxxx>]

For those planning on using I-81 in Virginia to get to Pigeon Forge, be 
aware of extreme enforcement of speed laws.  It seems radar was set up 
every 5 to 10 miles, as well as moving police vehicles everywhere.  This 
enforcement is expected to last all summer.   Also, be aware that radar 
detector use in illegal, as I found out the hard way.  Virginia uses a 
Spector II detector-detector, and my completely stealth under dash unit 
was detected from a moving trooper while I was in a roadside McDonalds, 
more than a block away.  He got off the interstate, cruised the parking 
lot, found me, and now I am $104 poorer.  While chatting up the trooper, 
he stated that in the 55mph zones on I-81, they ticket for 57.  
Absolutely no warnings.  Other than that, have a great trip to PG!
