Yow. This one hurts. I had actually planned to ride a large portion of this route this summer. Looks like I'll have to put it on hold due to family med issues. I was eagerly awaiting the route maps.
As and aside, lots of tourers seem to feel that they can't tour without the ACA maps and they slavishly follow "the route." It is important to note that, while the ACA maps are great tools, the routes are neither inherently "safer" or more interesting than planning your own way. In fact, choosing your own adventure might be better. ACA routes see a lot of bike touring use. Locals become used to seeing bike tourers. Planning your own way through rural areas of the US can make you an instant local celebrity! Seriously, I toured the entire US back in the day with just a AAA map of the entire US. A lot of how we experience true adventure is through dealing with the unexpected.
