I have been planning a solo camping and riding trip from IL down to Eastern TN and Western NC 8/24-8/28. The thought just occurred to me that I should open it up to anyone else that's interested. I know it's short notice for a trip this long so I aplogize in advance.
My intention is to camp for free. Primitive camp at Frozen Head State Park 8/24 and 8/27 (There will be a hike to the campsite). And Roadside camp in Pisgah Nat. Forest on 8/25 & 8/26. This is my first run at motorcycle camping so I do not plan on packing any food in unless I can find a store that is really convenient to the camping locations. I do not have exact sites picked out for camping the 2nd and 3rd night but have basic areas where I believe I can find a reasonable place to pitch a tent along NF roads (gravel). There are always campgrounds nearby as a backup plan. Also, if there is much interest and people think a campground would serve the group better, I would be willing to do that.
Below is the link to my trip on google maps. I am also willing to make slight modifications to the route if there are good roads nearby that I am missing. I would like to keep the daily mileage under 350 on the mountain road days to allow time for camp site selection, etc...

If anyone just wanted to meet up for a portion of the trip or meet up somewhere along the way that may be possible as well.
Let me Know.
