The TransAmerica Trail is a patchwork of fire roads, farm roads, dirt trails, and scenic byways that transects America from the Atlantic coast in the east, to the Pacific coast in the west. Check out the map at: https://tinyurl.com/ybnlrmh7.
The concept was originally scouted and mapped by Sam Carrero at www.transamtrail.com. Much as I would have liked to use his original maps, the system created by GPS Kevin at www.gpskevinadventurerides.com worked better with our vision for this trip. There are a number of free options out there as well. But Sam and Kevin are typically the two options most adventure riders go with when riding the TAT.
Joining me on this journey are my good friends Jason Bennett of www.docentprodigy.com and Steve Roos of www.ashcraftstudio.com. Having three photographers on one trip could be interesting! How many times would we have to stop to “get that shot”? Would we ever make it to our destination?!? I’ll be doing the bulk of the filming along the way. As with my Moto Photo Adventure trip, Jason will be using his mad skills as the video editor. If you haven’t seen it, check out that adventure at: https://tinyurl.com/y9mvyzgv. Aside from his photography skills, Steve will be providing his big personality and fun sense of humor for comedic relief!
Being self-employed, we will be tackling the TAT in multiple stages. The first week will find us traversing the eastern spur from Morehead City to Maggie Valley. This stretch covers NC and parts of TN. It encompasses some great gravel sections through the Uwharrie National Forest and the Pisgah National Forest, as well as some of the most amazing “twisties” through the Cherokee National Forest and the Great Smokey Mountains. After a short break to return home and cover some photography assignments, we’ll return and continue on to the next section from where we left off.
We hope you’ll join us and follow along on this epic journey! We’d also love your questions, tips, and suggestions of places not to be missed along the route. Just leave them in the comments below.
