Since the late 70's a bunch of us do the Skyline drive and stay in Waynesboro,Va
We still do it to this day
I'm just taking the long scenic route
Plan on camping for the 2 weeks.....

Good ol electraglide is doing well

 

Did the Skyline last year and plan on doing it again this year with entire Blue Ridge tacked on. You have any good suggestions where to stay in Waynesboro?

 

I used to live in Waynesboro. There are 2 best western hotels at highway 340 & 64 one is only a few years old and a nice property. There are several eating places from Steak to Cracker Barrel and fast food there too. Further (3mi) on 64 towards Staunton there is a Hampton, my preference, at Mint Springs exit. Enjoy

 

Sounds like a great trip through country I have not seen much of CAn a midwest boy join in I'll be retired and have the time

 

We stay at the Days Inn off of Rosser ave off Rt 64

I do beleive it might be a Super 8 now

 

Railroad theme ? Here's a train here in WV that you can ride. http://www.cassrailroad.com/ , good luck, sounds like an awesome trip you have planned.

 

Been to alot of those museums, scenic railroads also.
Tennessee valley, KennesawGa ,Cass,WV , Steamtown (Scranton,Pa), Strasburg,Pa,
Altoona Pa, Roanoke,VA etc etc...

 

Is the remains of the Kinzua Bridge off US Rt. 6 in Pennsylvania on your route. I was there 2 years ago and they were building an observation platform at the end of the remaining bridge. Near Mt. Jewett, PA.

 

There are also train rides available in Byesville, Ohio and Nelsonville, Ohio.

 

Folkston georgia has alot of trains running thru it. Supposedly every track in the southeast goes thru there.
