Atlantic Coast to Transamerican Trail

[shorecycler]

Myself and a few friends are making the coast to coast trek this upcoming May and I was wondering if there was any other way to get from central New Jersey (Point Pleastant) to the Transamerica Trail without having to travel the few hundred miles dead South as opposed to starting off to the West/Southwest from the start. If anyone has any kind of information to help with our journey please share the word.

Enjoy the ride!

You could probably work out something that would take you past Baltimore and DC and hit Skyline Drive to join the TA at the Blue Ridge Parkway.  That said I'd probably convince family or friends to drop me off in Yorktown.  Barring that I'd consider, bus, train, or one way car rental.

We did it the other way (West to East) and it was nice to be greeted by family and friends at the end.  They threw us a picnic before we headed home (north of Baltimore).

Whatever you decide, have a great tour.
