Great trip, Ken. I wish there were other Auto-Trains besides the Lorton-Sanford line.

Nice.  Also like the photos from the northern trip. 

Man you sure did get a lot of snow!  It will probably be there well into spring. 

When I lived in Orlando, I dreamed of putting a bike on the train to take north and ride back south, but I was a poor college student with a wife and two toddlers so it never happened.  When I finally got to ride the BRP in 2007 it was an awesome adventure.

For me it was 35 years ago that I drove down to Daytona Beach with my brother for Spring Break. 

Riding a Connie on that hard packed sand looks super cool!

Thanks Guys !
 I had to look back & see how long it had been since i'd made this trip last time. Looks like 1984 despite maybe a leftover hat purchased that yr. judging by the girls banners standing next to my KZ900 in the Rats Hole Show.Too be young camping with wheelie bars and not a care in the world. 8)
