Texas? It is a twelve our drive to Lake Charles, LA from Daytona . I have done it more than a couple times....never on a bike ....(so add a couple hours).
San Antonio can be done in about 18 and a half hours......NON stop. (driving a car)
Maggie Valley can be done inless than a day, so can Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC. Helen, GA is a nice ride.
Washington DC is twelve hours away also.
Pan handle of Florida is a nice target. You don't have to go thousands of miles to see something new.

I got in touch with my friend, stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. He said he is about 4 hours from the dragon, so, I might go up to see him. I am trying to squeeze out a 5th day. If I am able to, I am going to NYC, always wanted to ride through times square. I had to drive through it almost everyday when I lived there, but never riden through it. BUT as of right now I can't get that extra day.
but if you are seeing a friend in NC, and riding to the dragon.....
you ain't going to New York in five days. Maybe you will?

If I was going to NYC, I wouldn't do the dragon. I would stop in NC to see my friend and a free night of lodging...I have several ideas...my mind has changed again to, drive as far as I can in 2 days, then drive back. Isn't the old saying, it's not the destination but the journey that matters...
So, Big Gators idea of throwing a stick in the air and driving that direction sounds like the most fun so far.

That is a great point, I don't have to drive thousands of miles to see something new. Since, I am in FL for only a few years, maybe I should sight see around the state a little.

Check with Fire-Medic for a reference.
This will be fun. Keep us posted.

I was up in Charleston at the beginning of May by car. It's beautiful out there - we saw the SS Yorktown, Ft. Sumter, took a few ghost tours. It looks like nice riding on the outskirts, but there's a big bridge you gotta cross to get to "Historic Charleston". I would like to go back to Charleston one day with the bikes and ride around there.
I was pretty impressed once I started riding in Florida outside of South Florida area. Kind of like finally getting to know what's in your own back yard. I think central/north Florida is the nicest since it has more interesting back roads than South Florida. I haven't been to the panhandle area yet.
I heard there's a motorcycle rally going on in Myrtle Beach currently, I'm not sure how long it's going on for, but you may not want to go there until the rally is over.
I guess it all depends on what you want to do - spend most of the day riding or a combo of riding/sight seeing?
Have fun wherever you go!
