    Road trip

    Will be road tripping in a couple of weeks from Newport to Tampa. I'll probably spend my first night in DC, but after that, no plans. Looking for ideas for things to see on the way down or recommended routing. I don't really know the east coast.

    Some things I have thought of as possible:
    - Tail of the Dragon
    - BMW Spartenberg, not sure what I would do there though

    Highly recommend the Dragon. Been there a ton of times on two wheels, but never in the ZHP.

    I've avoided tail of the dragon as I've heard firsthand accounts and read it is packed these days with lane crossing bikes and cops. Im starting to consider putting a trip together from Atlanta, but Im going to do it early and on a weekday. jam packed/dangerous would defeat the purpose imo.

    On my zhp purchase trip from ct to ga i did the blue ridge parkway instead, at about 7am on a Saturday. It was a ghost town and gorgeous. not as much of a "driver's" road though, just beautiful scenery.

    In general, my advice would be to spend as much time off the superslab as you schedule allows. There are other world class roads in Nc/ga/tn and the shenandoah valley is breathtaking. get creative!

    Probably just get there real early to solve that issue. I drove Palomar Mountain last weekend (similar road w/lots of bikes and cops) but I was there around 6:30, road was deserted. The only traffic I started to see was on the way down the mountain around 7:45

    Dragon was starting to get busy the last few times I was there-- and that was about 8 years ago.

    Cherohala Skyway was one of the best roads I stumbled on down there for great views, nice sweepers, and no traffic/cops.
