Your idea does sound like a good one, so long as you don't have to turn left onto 54 at Farrington. I tried to do that once during the evening rush one day this week and was stuck there for almost 10 minutes. Wouldn't want to do the same thing again this weekend.
Also, since I live just off 54, my detour route heading back from church is gonna be a doozy. I plan on taking 15-501 up to MLK Pkwy and hopefully get off at either Hope Valley (751) or Fayetteville before heading back home. Sure it may be a bit out of the way, but as we know, it could be much worse.
