Default Riding to New England

Heading out the morning of Saturday June 1st. Possibly leave the day before in the late afternoon to get ahead start getting out of Florida.

I have no clue what route I am going to take, except that I am going to steer clear of 95, and want to avoid Atlanta. Possibly cut through Maggie Valley. Might even pop into Asheville NC. To attend a wedding. Depends on when I go through.

What's your specific destination?
Lived in eastern Massachusetts for all of my 62 years.

If it's your first trip, us New Englanders might be able to give you some pointers once you arrive.

Thanks for the offer.... But I grew up there in Commie-ville for 42 years. I grew up on the South Shore ... In Deluxe-bury (Duxbury).

Heading to Plymouth and Buzzards Bay to visit family.

Heading out a week from tomorrow. Master blaster will be leading the way for most of the trip. After a short diversion in the mid Atlantic area we will meet up again and head back home.... Gone about 10 days.
