Thanks alot for all of the help. I had never given the weather that much of a thought, but we will be leaving and June and I think that I would rather be riding through New York, Pa and the eastern humid states in June rather then late July/August. And the idea of heading West does sound much more Adventurous. It seems to me like some of the great sights and landscapes will be out west. Not to say that the East isnt scenic, its just that I'm used to the East.
Either way we won't be starting from home. We want to take a more Northern route so we'll probably start in Maine and use the first part of Adventure Cyclings TA maps. So family will be driving us to Maine. But we'll still be starting out leaving familiar faces so I guess thats somewhat similar.
Once again the forum comes through. I'll owe most of our success to you guys if we survive our trip because without the help i get on here I would be lost
