This trip is going to be awesome. I've always wanted to see the wall. We have no idea how many places we end up at, but it will be fun to find out. I have all the Harley Dealers and Starbucks on my GPS.... (just for you cHarley...lol) I will make sure there are pics to prove it.....
Anyways, I can't wait to ride the Dragon again, or any other road up there. My last trip, I rode some roads that had tighter turns and nerve racking drops then the Dragon. SR80 was one of then just off the Blue Ridge heading east. It had a turn that I could read my own license plate number.
I can't wait... Hey Gabe... Is it time yet?
Almost, it's gonna be a long 2 months leading up to it, lol.
I know you guys are playing it by ear, but I suggest you plan your time in DC around the cooler parts of the day. DC in the summer can make FL seem like a winter wonderland.

Thanks for all the tips. I appreciate them. If anyone has must see things and great places to eat, please post them. Here are two links for our proposed route. It may change as we ride, but it's at least a basic outline.

If the stars and planets align correctly, I will try to meet you in Cherokee, NC on your way south and will show you some roads in my neck of the woods. This will alter a chunk of your "Part 2" route.
After you practice on the mountain parkways for a couple of days, thanks to cHarley, I can show you a route down through Franklin, lunch in Highlands, and THEN over to Alpharetta. Real sweet riding.
Day trips from the FL Crew Outpost are numerous and non-repeating. Once back at the stables in the afternoon, whiskey and beer is repeatable.
