I agree with Clyde, I've been on it in cars and bikes, in NC the speed limit is 35 and heavily patrolled. Wade----- Original Message ----- From: <clyderomero [at] worldnet.att.net>

Ok let me stop you now Stay off the Blue Ridge Pkwy They patrol that better than we did the no fly zone over Iraq! Speed limit is a whooping 45 MPH and its a Federal Ticket to boot We run it on bikes because we can out run the cars they use You will loose massive amounts of time if you take the Pkyway Don't say I didn't warn you!

We'll take 3 days to get to Denver, then 4-5 days to get to Monterey. Here it is, and any further refinements, suggestions or WARNINGS would be very much appreciated!Sunday: Manhattan to Hot Springs, West Virginia. 500 miles, approximately11 hours, but we should be able to shave an hour off that, though we maywell lose it for photo stops, etc. This takes us out of Manhattan and ontoI-78 through Allentown and Harrisburg, PA. This route allows us to avoid the usual weekend Eastern Seaboard Metropolis traffic. Then onto I-81, through the corner of Maryland, to Front Royal, VA - the Northern terminus of the legendary Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway,http://www.blueridgeskyline.com/. It'll be a Sunday in August, so there'll be traffic, but it's beautiful. All the way down Skyline Drive, which goes through the heart of Shenandoah National Park. At the Southern terminus, we will continue onto the Blue Ridge Parkway, but if the traffic is horrendous,or if we've been otherwise delayed, we can bail off of Skyline at a coupleof different points and get onto I-81). We exit off the Blue Ridge Parkway on Rt 56 (north of Montebello, VA) and take some state roads to Hot Springs,WV, where we overnight here: http://www.thehomestead.com/Monday: Hot Springs, WV to St Louis, Missouri. 686 miles, approximately 12 hours, though, again, we should be able to shave an hour off. We start themorning by driving through the Highland Scenic Highway, http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2460/travel.html, in the Monongahela National Forest, http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/mnf/general_info/intro.shtml. We pick up I-64 just SW of Charleston, WV and start flying out west, through Louisville, KY, and overnight in St Louis, MO. Tuesday: St Louis, MO to Denver, CO. 850 miles, about 12.5 hours, but weshould be ashamed if we can't do it in 11 hours, since it's all highway, onI-70. We'll stop in Kansas City for some REAL BBQ. Total mileage for this leg: approximately 2,036 miles, or 35 hours (or 32 for us). The direct highway shot between Manhattan and Denver is 1800 miles, though it's probably a realistic 26 hours total, so we're adding 6 hours with our scenic touring.
