I'm once again planning a ride up the eastern side of the country from Atlanta the Canadian Maritimes. This will be the third plan. In 2011 it turned into a trip to the desert southwest instead http://latelifebiker.com/ride-of-a-late-lifetime/ , and last year it was stay home or take the new dog with me. Since then I've taught her to ride long distances, but my wife plans to keep her at home, anyway.
For the first time I'll be pulling a camper trailer. I discovered out west that I'm just too damned old for this tenting routine. So I bought me a used Kwik Kamp, and the dog and I have already taken it on a shakedown cruise. Much easier.

I'll leave after May 15 and plan to ride the full length of the BRP and Skyline Drive on the way north. The return trip--and all of the ride actually-- is open for suggestions. I have an olde farte pass for the U.S. national parks, and I tend to stay close to them for financial reasons.
I'm looking for input on routes, trailering, Canada, and anything else that strikes your fancy. I also wouldn't mind picking up some riding companions for any or all of the trip. I plan to do it in about a month, smelling roses along the way.
Let me know your thoughts.
