Yeah I can, looks like it starts in Waynesboro, VA.

http://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisit/directions.htm

http://www.blueridgeparkway.org

Here is the NPS map that shows camping:
http://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisi...&PageID=115070

Not going to do Skyline drive, no interest. The best part of the BRP is near Cherokee anyway.

I plan on riding up pure interstate saturday and camping somewhere near the Waynesboro, VA side. I am thinking Sherando Lake or Otter Creek for the first night.

Second night would be decided if you come. If you want to get home quicker, we could ride more sunday and get further south. If not, I will just go around half distance.

I was thinking Linville Falls, but we could go to Mt Pisgah or soemthing.

If you stop somewhere near christinsburg va then maybe, wouldnt be able to get you a definite answer for another week or two, but tentatively yes. It would also mean that I would need to go get my camping stuff from my parents basement, all I have here is my cooking stuff, and sleeping bag.

oh, would you head back home from there? Doughton Park is close to halfway. That's closer to Wytheville.

Linville Falls is way over halfway and Mt Pisgah is about 60 miles from the end of it.
