I'm not sure i can tolerate their weather. It does sound kind of cool though.
I've got my eye on the AC Lewis and Clark route. History there too.

Makbike -
I live in Perry County, Indiana. Most of my rides depart from my house which is located in the southern part of the county. I ride to Tobinsport, Derby, Tell City, Rome, Cannelton, and Gatchell.
My Kentucky route starts north of Rocky Point, onto Cannelton where I cross the Ohio River Bridge, and then I head westward on the Kentucky river road. The road is very nice and I can do anywhere from 20 to endless miles. This is flat terrain and lends itself to speed.
I get to enjoy awesome views of Cannelton's Cotton Mill and flood wall murals , Perry County Memorial Hospital in Tell City, and Fulton Hill in Troy.
I love my routes. We've spent hours together this summer.

There is actually a web site for a service that will plan your NT tour for you and make your overnight reservations at B&Bs, and I believe it is a free serve (part of National Park Service). I can't find the address right now, but I think I have it written down somewhere. I'll find it and post it.

Definitely a neat-looking trip...AL to Niagra and an AC route of course. If you haven't heard, you can join the club for free (as a first-timer) and check out their great mag and cyclist yellow pages and more. Go to:
http://www.gracefuledge.com
...and click on the upper right corner on AC's blurb. It'll take you to a sign-up page.
Is anyone thinking self-contained?
Oh...and the NT. I did the Blue Ridge and Skyline Drive summer before last and since then I haven't stopped dreaming of New Orleans to Nasheville.

Wait, we're going the wrong wayIt's a ride from the South to the North, not vice versa. The route honors those who escaped not those who went "oh wait guys, I'll catch up, have to go back. I forgot my keys"
