I definitely see the appeal. I'm not *married* to running the coast, it was just the initial idea. after all, i'm not exactly starting in Jacksonville, i'm starting in Charleston, which is much farther north. a gradual northward shift, followed by a southward turn could work without overextending the miles given the amount of time i can pull together. If it becomes a 7 day trip, northern AR starts to come into range. it also gets easier to schedule if i commit to having fun on the way out, and slabbing it on the way back (no fun, but faster).
edit, just looked up some bits on Talimena Scenic dr....If i aim for Memphis, then start curving south, i should blow right through Hot Springs and down that way.
