Rocky, if you want to tour down this way way, I could meed you in NC or Virginian and we could tour the Smokies and the Blue Ridge together. We could even ride to the Outer Banks. I think you would enjoy Cape Hatteras and the aviation museum there. The ride down through Pennsylvania and the Amish country in Lancaster County, PA is gorgeous. Then the ride through West Virginia into Virgina on the Skyline Drive is another scenic and beautiful ride. The Skyline Drive ties into the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virgina and runs into the heart of the mountains in North Carolina. Check these out on a map. I will even introduce you to the Tail of the Dragon - on a weekday in the morning. I will not go near there on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. There are too many crazies out then.
