Copy that.
How's this? By car...
Day 1: Spend the day at the beach near St Pete. (Hey, it's cold up here, and
I love to sit in the sand and get warmed by the sun every now and then).
Day2: St Pete to Montgomery, AL; 55 to 8 to 53. Dinner and a bed.
Day 3: 53 to Talladega NF, lunch in Piedmont other side. Head over to 176
and take Little River Canyon Parkway. Get on 81, pass through Chattanooga,
and head for Tellico Plains for dinner and a bed.
Day 4/5/6:
Cherohala Skyway, BRP, Skyline Drive
Day 7: Non stop (except food and stuff) from Front Royal, VA to North
Central MA.
Fudge factor: One Day
