Coast to coast on dirt

I know. Few people who have tried this they all say there is a lot more pavement then you are lead to believe

Now days its probably gonna be impossible to not have pavement. I think NC and a lot of states paved most state maintained roads. I still think it would be an awesome adventure. A lot of times if we are taking a trip somewhere I try and plan an all back roads route, so this would be perfect!
 
On their FAQ page they still claim 90% is on paved roads and most unpaved is only to get to a motel or gas. I want to do it regardless, but that is a lot of time to do it.

you got it backasswards....

Of the entire 5,000-miles across America, I'd say it's about 90% dirt/gravel/sand/rock/
creek-beds/forest roads. The small percentage of pavement (Tarmac) is just to get you to fuel, food, and hotels.

I wonder just how much of that 90% is totally/entirely/notquestionalby legal? I know more so out west...but still....

That's still pretty awesome. Looks like it's geard more toward dual purpose bikes than full size 4x4's though?

The second link says "The Trans America Trail (TAT) is a Coast To Coast Route across the United States. It is designed for Dual Sport and Adventure Bike Motorcycles. But it also works well for 4x4 Vehicles, such as Jeeps and SUV's."
 
thinking now of doing a mild build on our Cherokee and doing this for a family vacation.... maybe not all of it but a lot of it!
 
Fun fact: there are public dirt roads in neighborhoods inside the Beltway in Raleigh.
 
We should come up with our own cool dirt roads map of nc im sure there's lots of them in raleigh
