We were supposed to drive to Alaska but the China flu killed that trip. Next though was a western mountain trip....

Thanks to Antifa, BLM, libturds, and arsonists that’s out....




Looking for suggestions. One thought is a driving tour of Appalachia.....

No interest in going back to the keys this year so Florida is out. Did Maine last year.... Though about a SW desert tour but the bride is less than interested in no trees.... she wants mountains....

So now I'm looking into an eastern mountain trip....Kinda thinking about eastern OK, northern AR, KY, southern OH, western PA, WV, western VA, western NC, and TN as a loop but just not sure....

Something like this....Not the exact route just a general loop. We avoid interstates and large cities...mostly try to stay the hell away from people.

Thoughts about things to do/see along this trip or any suggestions of other places to go are greatly appreciated....no "touristy" places please....natural, scenic, and historical places.

Love the new route. Cathy moved just south of Atlanta from Florida to accept a new job of teaching legal writing. May move out there to be near her when I get too old to go up and down the stairs. Hate the idea of moving from my 50 year old house.

If you leave now you could do a color tour in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Just another Chapter in the "Book of Life" Bill. Life is all about Chapters.

Dipping a bit south of Knoxville from Chattanooga will add the Great Smokey Mountains to the trip.

We will...and Cumberland Gap. That map is just a rough representation of the trip. It's still mostly highway (the way it maps). We won't be driving many highways or visiting many cities.

Any other suggestions of stuff to see in those general areas?

I hitch hiked through there back in the day.

Also thought about going thru Cape Girardeau, Rush Limbaugh's hometown.

It was just up the river from where I grew up. Coolest name of a city I've ever heard. I took they route several times while headed up to Indiana for NSTRA trials.

If you go to the Cape make sure you go downtown and see all the mural painted on the flood wall they put up years ago.

And You want be to far from Stone Mountain Ga just north of Atlanta.

Jes that would be a cool loop to drive. Sure you don’t want swing through Memphis and visit Graceland?

Stop and pick some “seng” in the hills

Try Winchester Virginia, Shendoah Valley area is nice and historic.

Stone Mountain is pretty cool

Sherman spared Savanna. Spend a night there if you are in the area. Great food and beautiful houses. Great photo opportunities.

Missoula Montana.

Getting out of Texas is always my longest drives except I-10 east.

Need to drop down to Ashvile and go through the Biltmore estate.

Need to add stone mountain to the list.. thanks!.

Sorry Sir....but I have no desire to visit Graceland or "swing through Memphis".....

Hit the Bear Bryant museum in Tuscaloosa.

Been there....apparently you missed the "mountains" part...

Bill...you've posted FIVE times on this thread and added ZERO value....please give it a rest....Thanks in advance....

I've heard its nice but not our cup of tea...Mt Vernon, Monticello, Appomattox Court House, etc. are more our style...Thanks!

Too much of nothing between us and there...most of which we've already seen....and no mountains....

Good suggestion thought....a great lakes tour was a thought but decided not this year.....thanks!

The Shenandoah Valley is absolutely amazing. Monticello is great. Ive picked up on something new I missed every time I've been. Take your time.
