2394 miles in 6 days
I rode from Central Florida to Manchester, TN, where I camped at the Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park. Then, I jumped on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Nashville and headed south. Along the way, I camped at the Meriwether Lewis National Monument and Jeff Busby campgrounds. After completing the 444-mile Trace in Natchez, MS, I headed down US-61 to St. Francisville, LA and the Louisiana State Penitentiary. There, I conducted some research I hope to get published. Then, it was back to Florida.

2210 miles in 5 days
I rode to Robbinsville, NC with two friends and spent a day riding the Dragon, US 129, with 318 turns in 11 miles. We rode that a few times, then toured the surrounding mountain roads. I then went my own way for a few days, taking the Blue Ridge Parkway from its beginning in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to the end near Charlottesville, VA. Along the way, I visited Station's Inn Motorcycle Resort, Hollins University, Washington & Lee University, the Virginia Military Institute and the University of Virginia. On the ride home, I also visited the University of Richmond.
