Yes, I drive through Hancock quite regularly.  Hancock is a fun destination for "roadgeeks" as well (of whom I am one) because it's the location of one of the shortest, non-terminating US or Interstate road segments in the United States through any one state.
Coming north on U.S. 522 through Virginia, you enter West Virginia for only about 20 minutes, passing through the small town of Berkeley Springs.  The road then crosses the Potomac River into Hancock, Maryland, passes over the town, then joins with I-70 for short distance where it almost immediately crosses into Pennsylvania.  It's about 1.0-1.1 miles between the WV/MD line and the MD/PA line on U.S. 522.
