In August 2017 I did a successful 3 day tour based out of Greenville SC, using a Chinatown bus. It worked out well, but I had to go to NYC to get the bus. Since I work there, that wasn't too terrible. And it was really cheap
Sounds like a trip to 'eclipse' all others. Did it all go well or did you have some DARK moments? Were you happy or did you moon around a bit? Any corona for refreshment? Did anyone take umbrage with your choices?
OK, back to trains and bikes..............
