lines are not a problem for much of the way!

The advice from the locals was stick to the highway so you can be found if
you go down.


As to riding a motorcycle - be careful what time of the year you drive
it -
I'm told that at the height of the summer travel season you'd probably
spend a lot of time passing RVs (when you aren't stuck behind them).

My brother and I got snowed on during late August somewhere along the way.
We weren't real prepared for that (camping in a tent under the wing).

Lots of airports along the way so you don't need exceptional range - we did
it in a Cessna 120.

Be prepared to wait out the weather...
