We took four weeks and traveled south from Vermont to South Carolina, then up to Maine. We originally planned on the trip being about twice as long (time wise) to visit the same area, but that isn't the way it worked out. The first real report is posted, mainly about our time in New Jersey. Yes New Jersey. There is a vast area covered in forest called the Pine Barrens and we made that our base camp to have a look around.
That chapter is now posted here: https://www.occidentalist.org/new-jersey/
There's a couple of other related introductory posts up as well:

Our trip down the mid-Atlantic coast (through Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina) is now posted here: https://www.occidentalist.org/exploring-the-mid-atlantic-coast/
The next chapter of the trip, travels that include Great Smokey Mountains National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah are now posted here: https://www.occidentalist.org/from-the-smokies-to-shenandoah/
Our next stop was Antietam National Battlefield: https://www.occidentalist.org/antietam/
Our final stretch of the trip was a dip into Maine to see Acadia: https://www.occidentalist.org/to-maine-and-acadia/
There will be a bit of an epilogue post to finish this trip up as we head back west cross country.
