Well it's been a good trip so far.
We left Niagra falls Saturday morning, almost 500 miles to the Boston area on the turnpike on afterburner, and had a nice little party there.
Then down to Harrisburg with a little run through pocano, unfortunately with a 8 mile traffic jam at the end.
From Harrisburg we ran down the Delaware penninsula, through amish country, down across the chesapeake bay bridge/tunnel, and stayed at Virginia Beach and met up with a few folks there.
Next day we ran down the outer banks and caught the 2 hour ferry to Cedar Island, and stayed at a little hotel right at the ferry terminal. Had some great fresh seafood.
Yesterday we did 530 miles, starting with a great coast run from Cedar Island, hitting the interstate and burning 90mph over to Greenville, NC and an awesome climb up to Brevard NC on highway 276. The 500 miler had us a bit burned out but when we hit the mountains it dropped to 65 degrees which was quite refreshing, and the miles of tight switchbacks climbing up was great, then it rained.
So we're in Brevard now, about 40 miles south of deal's gap. The rain caught us, both a front and the troical storm coming in. So we holed up for a day and hopefully the weather will clear up tommorrow.
I may get some pics up later, but I'm on my laptop on a toll free dailup from my hotel at 10cents per minute so I can't spend too much time online.
Tommorrow is the river gorge on Hwy 64, deals gap, maybe the skyway and down to Atlanta to meet up with more friends.
Haven't taken as many pics as I would have liked, but we'll have few when we get back.
