Just returned from a three day motocamping trip through Shenandoah National Park, the Blueridge Parkway, and Back of the Dragon. I started on Skyline Drive in Front Royal, VA and headed South to Rocky Knob on Day 1. Day two started with a two hour ridge through the beautiful Virginia valleys to the Back of the Dragon in Tazwell. A fun ride on Route 16 with 438 curves in 32 miles. After this I headed to the Peaks of Otter in the Blue Ridge Mountains to camp for the night. I met several other motorcyclist at the campground, including a gentleman who travels full time on his Goldwing. Day three was the best riding of the trip. It felt like fall with temperatures starting in the low 50's and never getting above 65 until descending down the mountains. I headed north on the Parkway and continues on Skyline Drive. It was a bit of a slower ride with more stops along the route. This was my first time camping off the TC and was a precursor to a longer trip next year from Shenandoah, through the Blueridge Mountains, and down through the Smokey Mountains. If anyone is interested in joining me, please reach out.View attachment IMG_0037.JPGView attachment IMG_0037.JPGView attachment DSC06973.JPG
