Overview
Each of these 38 day-long trips through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee -- and now Ohio -- has a detailed route description, turn by turn directions, an easy-to-follow relief map, and many colorful photographs. The author's affection for his native region is obvious in the local lore found in every chapter; his lyrical descriptions of the best roads lead to detailed depictions of ancient caverns, covered bridges, rolling farm country, Civil War battlefields, and presidents' homes. Amish farmers, bluegrass music, Elvis memorabilia, remnants of the War Between the States -- Coyner has found them all. He will help you to get to and through everything that's worth seeing, including the Harley-Davidson Motor Company's factory in York, Pennsylvania. Along the way, Coyner points out the region's most rider-friendly restaurants, hotels, and campgrounds, ranging from bare-bones to spoil-yourself-luxury. Through Routes and Favorites contains a list of memorable trans-regional routes for those just passin' thru , as well as a long list of places the author finds most enjoyable about the region (and a few that are decidedly not). Watch for the friendly but alert officers in Fayetteville, West Virginia, and the action in the Gazebo Room at the Chat 'Chew Restaurant in McCoole, Maryland. This new third edition has more routes, more maps, and still more colorful Coyner humor that will have you laughing aloud. No one describes the South's good ol' boys and offbeat history quite like Coyner. To find adventure and fun with a great riding companion, take this book along when you head out to explore the tangled backroads and unique places of this fascinating part of the country.
