Negative, there is a back way around town. Two of them actually. But I still avoid it like the plague. 

I know. But you can't get into the damned place. All the restaurants are on the main drag. Horrible.

+1 for WV16 and +1 for NOC's breakfast. Picture is from last year's GAP trip. 2Tall, Paul, Danny, and myself went.

Can you enlighten me on what tthe name of this place is?  I tried googling but received no results.   I swear @whaler and I stopped at this place.  I think they were doing white water rafting drills.  Maybe it was a different place though.

^ he is right you know...

Yup, this is 100% the place we stopped at on our way back home.  Was definitely a cool place.  Don't think we got food though.

This is VERY similar to the route that @JustinNck1 @snot and I took last year, except we ran 28 south of Highlands to War Woman to 75 to 180 to 19.  Think @Isaac's Papa sent me the route.  Anyway, it was about a 12hr day in all.....would've been back to Fontana quicker but I had to live up to my "wrong turn" nickname, so there were a few unexpected detours.....and maybe several miles of paved goat path ( ie beat-to-shit asphalt sidewalk ) that was what we though to be JoyceKilmer.....uh, IT WAS NOT. 

Recently got my new Zumo, so I'm hoping to lose my nickname soon :D

Even with some wrong turns, we had a great time on the route. Gotta hit blood mountain again this year.

The IP route is a long day but a great grouping of roads. Looking forward to hitting it again in June.

Wife and I will likely roll this same route again this year.  Anyone is welcome to join us!  I always run a fairly standard medium pace

I'm seriously considering riding the cb500x on this trip.  

Probably go further on a tank of fuel and be easier to toss around than the 1200, but is it comfy enough to endure all day for a few days straight?

I haven't taken it on long ride yet.   It corners well enough to be entertaining.  The lack of straight line speed might prevent me from becoming acquainted with any local officials.

I need to take it on spirited SEO ride first so I can decide.  The VFR12 has been just about the perfect bike for previous gap trips :)
