Trip Report Skyline Drive

[AISURFFISH]

We took off a few days, loaded up the TC and trailered the Tiger {Adventure Bike} out to Elkton Va. We set up base camp with the truck camper right on the Shenandoah River. The camp was on private Property, fellow ADV rider. Each day we rode out on the Tiger 200-300 miles into the mountains of west virginia/western virginia.

We did Skyline drive from rt 33 to rt 211 would have done more but the rain set in for good, so we played it safe that day and headed back to base camp.

The next day we headed over to West Va and made our way via rt33 over the mountains. Found a great cavern "Seneca Caverns and Seneca Rock" From there we ran threw Smoke Hole and back to camp. Here are a few photos. Just another reason we love our Lance. Go anywhere!! And take your******wth you!!

Thanks for the pictures and weather report. We were supposed to go this week and rescheduled due to the rain forecast. Looking forward to visiting the area.

It was still raining at Seneca Rocks yesterday as we came through on Hwy 33. We camped in Luray, VA and quickly realized Skyline is one busy road on the weekend. Great during the week though. Lots of fog and rain for us as well.
Great photos, thanks for posting.

We rode Rt33 from SLD to Seneca Rock. How did you like crossing the 3-4 mountains in the TC? We did it all on the Tiger, not sure I would braved them in the Truck and camper...LOL!!!!

We were up on SLD Friday morning early before the rain got to bad.
Not much traffic that early, but we did notice all of the campgrounds up on the mountain were no vacancy.

I saw Elvis at Seneca Rock a few years ago (70's Elvis, not 50's). Besides Harper's General Store, there's not much else but great roads and scenery. Plenty of awesome fire roads for riding an adventure bike. You can get as hard core as you want or just cruise along. Great area. Elvis was on a KLR and was wearing a velvet Camelbak. I laughed in my helmet for an hour.
Nice pics.
