Hey, Ray,
What date are you leaving from Charleston? Have you managed to finalize your route from there up through North Carolina? If so, care to share the details?
I'm still trying to plot out a decent course to go from the northern most part of the Outer Banks, NC, down through Charleston, SC.
I'm leaving May 23rd, and expect to be down in Savannah on or before the 29th. If by chance you're going to be on that stretch during the same time period, and I happen to cross paths with you, I'll certainly wave and say "Howdy". I'll be ridin a dark bronze colored Univega, with black colored trunkbag&pannier setup.
Good luck with your trip and be safe.
Happy trails,
Nota
