I have it figured out for about 6, 60 mile days on my mountain bike pulling my trailer full of camping gear and stuff, I'm gonna travel light, I'm only taking one pair of underwears.
I will take my camera and take no less than 500 pictures.
I will be dropped off in Pittsburgh and picked up in DC 6 days later or so.
I just read that Amtrack is going to offer a roll on bike service between Pitt and DC starting Jun 2011.
That would make the trip lots easier, I could drive myself and park, and just take the train back, as it is now you have to break down your bike and box it like you would on an airplane.
I have a good Cape May ferry story. I had an old $150 Datsun 210 that I drove to Fl and back in the early 90's, drove through a big blizzard all down the east coast. On the way back we decide to go to Atlantic City, we got on the ferry and my old junker didn't have an emergency brake, I sat in the car holding the brakes on for quite a while. I finally went up on the deck or where ever it was you could hang out at. I was just afraid that my car would slip out of gear, break loose and smash the hell outta the other cars, pushing them over the side of the ferry into the water. Actually, that would have been pretty funny.
