I keep clicking these 'northeast ride' posts, only to find out they're talking about PA or NJ. That's not the northeast to me!Heck, the Pine Barrens are practically Mid-Atlantic. Where are all the Vermont/Maine/New Hampshire guys??!
We have a great group of folks here in Vermont working to secure land-use rights for dual sport riders. Check it out if you are in the area...

Hop on the Amtrack Auto Train for $353/roundtripincluding your bike, the train drops ya off at the southern edge of the forest.
Get on the train at 4 in the afternoon arrive at the scrub at 9am food included.
The Ocala National Forest is a playground for naturalists, campers, fishermen, hikers and off-road enthusiasts. Covering 383,000 square acres or 607 square miles, it contains a 100 miles of horse trails, 67 miles of scenic hiking trails and dozens of crystal clear spring-fed lakes and ponds.
Sections of the Ocala National Forest are open to off-road vehicles. This is one of the best motorcycle / ATV areas in the state. There are hundreds of miles of trails within the designated areas. The U.S. Forestry Service - a segment of the U.S. Department of Agriculture - controls activities within the forest. Unlicensed Vehicles are not permitted on improved roads and a spark arrestor is required.
Some areas are off-limits in order to protect endangered species. Information on which areas are off-limits can be obtained from forest rangers, who will gladly give you a map showing these areas.
One of the most popular family visitation sites in the Forest is Juniper Springs National Park. Juniper Springs is the site of an old mill where you can swim in a natural spring. The seven-mile canoe run from Juniper Springs is one of the best canoeing opportunities in central Florida. The canopied creek winds through dense, primeval forests that seem untouched by man — on weekdays, anyway. Come early in the morning and you’ll paddle through dappled light that filters through the trees down into crystalline water.
The forest is dotted with crystal clear spring-fed lakes, most of which offer fishing in these pristine waters. Picnic areas are numerous and the many forest trails are a nature lovers delight.
JUST SAYIN
If you guys make up your mind on a place within 100 or so miles of Lorton, VA....I'll take the train up with my bike.

I have been using the MotoTote,M3 model, made by D&D designsfor my former DRZ400S and now for my present KLX250s. Been very happy with it for thpast 3 years... No wobble.. but a lot more than $100!
You can see it using this link: http://www.mototote.com/
(I use it with my Ford E150 Van.)
I am happy with the hitch carrier I am using.
I would like to make the ride too if the dates work out for me...
