More to the original question antokelly, in this part of the world the cool months are lovely. We usually have mild days and sunny days. The only problem is increased rain and the occasional snowfall which usually melts quickly except in high altitude areas like Boone, NC. See http://www.cyclocamping.com/proddeta...SA-FL-NC-TN-WV for an example of touring routes. It's common to see people out and about in winter and the mild-weather tourists are gone so you have most camping facilities easily accessible. The only catch is that roads like the Blue Ridge Parkway get closed in bad weather for lack of equipment to clear the snow or ice.
