I just recently took a 7 day trip from NH to GA and back to visit some family. Which of course I used an excuse to ride the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway for the first time.
Only ended up getting two nights of camping in on the trip. First was off the parkway around mile marker 15 on the north end at the Montebello Camping and Fishing Resort. It was mostly vacant aside from some seasonals, so I had a whole section to myself which was nice.
The next day I covered 400 miles of the parkway and stayed at the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground. I was wiped and didn't feel like setting up the tent so I grabbed on of their little cabins. Finished the parkway the next day and got down to Athens, GA to visit for a day and a half, then spent two days slabbing it home; no camping on the return.
This 2600 mile trip in total was by far the largest I have ever done. Up until this, I merely rode for 8 - 11 hours, camped for one night, then rode home the next day on a different route. And I enjoy that too.
I can certainly say the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway's reputations are well earned. It's like endless turns 12 hours - so much fun! I wasn't sure if this was the right forum, but this was a "Ride" so "Rides and Events" seemed appropriate. Anyway, thought I'd share some pics. Planning to join in on the Seacoast ride on the 22nd - just saw that post. Thanks Kenn for sharing it on the Facebook group, I caught it there.
