Routes / Modified Northern Tier
« on: February 20, 2023, 04:45:48 pm »Tell me if this is a good plan.
My wife and I are starting the Northern Tier (W-E) around June 1. Zip over to Minneapolis, then deviate from the route to go to Madison (our hometown) to Chicagoland on trails, etc. Next we will work our way to Pittsburgh ... this is where I'm less sure to find a route (suggestions welcomed). From Pittsburgh we will take the GAP and C&O canal to DC. From DC we will meander to Rehoboth Beach and catch a lift across the Bay Bridge.
I'm trying to find a mapping tool which can piece all of this together so I can estimate distance (I think it's a touch over 3,200 miles). Any thoughts and ideas are welcome.
Thanks, George
PS I did the Southern Tier in 2021 and it was really fun, can't wait for the summer...melt snow, melt!
