Come on now...out of the gutters.... ;D

I am looking into a ride and was wondering from South Jersey to Deals Gap...I want to ride the dragon...possibly via the BRP...

Would like to cram it all into 3 days...with about 10 hours of riding a day...

Hoping a few of you could give me some tips...right not it is looking like an August trip...

You're a little over 650 miles out by the most direct route.  Skyline Drive to the bottom of the Blue Ridge Parkway is a beautiful ride, but it takes two days in itself.

Three days is a bit ambitious even just to get to the Gap, enjoy it for a bit and get back home.

Be sure to enjoy the Cherohala Skyway  while you're in the area.

My apologies.  It's fixed.

It's on old Indian traveling term.  I hardly ever use it in formal communication.  Must've just slipped out.   ;)
