For those of you just tuning in, the TAT stands for Trans America Trail, a 5000 mile dirt route across the United States. From Tennessee, we'll follow the trail all the way to the Pacific Ocean along the Oregon Coast. Follow us here as we document our adventure over the next six weeks.

Jellico Tennessee USA

Here we are. Our furthest east destination. Sleeping well tonight before we embark on this incomprehensibly huge trip. We really don't know what to expect, and it is certainly drawing out the most nervous feelings, some fear, and perhaps the greatest excitement we have ever felt.
Working hard on our motorcycles has both turned the anticipation into something tangible and has also caused a spike in our silly paranoias. Let me tell you that this has been a BLAST! Those terrible Interstate Highway miles are now behind us, and we see nothing ahead of us now but little tiny roads leading us through open countryside.
A huge thanks to ADVrider.com and thumpertalk.com, bottomless resources that have proven to be the end all of trip prep knowledge and advice. We also thank all of you who have put up with our crazy dedication to this trip.
Tomorrow, it begins.
