less than a day

ok. almost ready. laying out all the stuff to take inventory.
I'll cover those stories soon enough.  i'll post on the gear so that if you ever want to do something like this you can learn from my 137 mistakes.  and because i spent way too much time thinking about this stuff and want to organize my thoughts here. 
I did some preliminary route planning.  google maps only lets you make so many revisions to a single direction/trip, so i broke the map up into stages.  here they are:

nashville to blacksburg, va: http://bit.ly/ayN5GS
blacksburg to york, pa: http://bit.ly/bTKlTH
york to bass harbor, me: http://bit.ly/994U7j

the "bicycle" option in maps is only a few months old.  they just released it for android phones, but (b/c of the tensions between google and apple) have not yet released this 'layer' of the maps for the iphone. so, i'll get by.  they'll probably enable this right when the trip is over.  the blue ridge parkway section will be a breeze to navigate, and elsewhere i'll basically go east and then north.  it's that simple...
