Default 6 Day Trip through the Appalachians

Hi all,

I am planning a trip through the Applachians late February / beginning of March. I am from Tuscaloosa and would uhaul my R1200 GSA up to Blacksburg and work my way back to Tuscaloosa. I have attached a html file which gives you more details. Maybe somebody of you is interested. It would be a big bike trip with 3 to 5 people. Camping everyday.

For more details. Email me: A.v.Henning@gmail.com

Cheers, Alex

Hello Peter,

maybe you picked it up from my english. I am actually not from here. We came in July last year from Germany. I assume that the weather is going to be good enough to do the trip. I got the tracks from somebody on ADV Rider.
He says he did this ride on his R1200GS so I assume most of the tracks will be easy gravel, though he says there is a bit of everything in there.
With regards of the camping facilities I did not check yet but I hope they will be open. That's a good point. Will start researching that tomorrow.

All the best, Alex
