Thanks Scott.
I've known of it since college, when my roommate (a geography major) talked about it. It may be that it was also covered in my own major, geology, but it is my roomie's conversation that I recall more clearly.
Interesting stuff. I've lived my whole life on the east coast, and have never heard of the 'Falls Line'. I'm looking forward to following along.
8 months agoHi Keith - I note that your route misses the ECG as it goes thru Raleigh and Durham. I live just off the East Coast Greenway in Cary NC and have ridden the sections between Clayton and Durham many times. Most of the section is on dedicated bike ways and is marked, though not exceptionally well I’d be happy to provide info if your route changes to include that section. Also, I have friends in the area that could host you - I’d love to do so myself but am off in Europe for the next few months. Best wishes on the trip - it sounds quite interesting
8 months agoInteresting area! Not far from the A/T. Back in the early 2000s I section backpacked from Erwin, TN to somewhere in the middle of PA. Then in 2008 rode my bike to Wake Forest, taking in a lot of mountain riding through KY, TN, NC, SC and then looping back up.
Looking forward to following along with you again!
I found this to be a really interesting post, Keith. I’ve never heard of this before, although I’m familiar with a few spots along the line from where we crossed it on our few tours on the east coast.
Great concept for a tour. I’ll look forward to following along.
You may note some places you've seen before. Time will tell.
