Another 1,000 miles down

I crossed the 20,000 mile mark today after reaching my 48th state on the trip. The last 1,000 miles have taken me from Maine through New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Conntecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, DC, West Virginia, and finally to Virginia. This has been a crowded area of the country and I’ve ridden more big roads than I like.

Today I started the 100 mile Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park which connects to the 460 mile Blue Ridge Parkway, so at least half of the next thousand miles will be twisty, two-lane, truck free roads. Plus the next thousand should put me very close to home.
