In my quest to find all of the information I could about the Southern Tier I have found these links that have proven invaluable.  They are the journals of those that have ridden the Southern Tier.  Some succeeded while others did not.  Some have great descriptions and pictures while others are minimal.  Either way they are filled with the information you need to be prepared for the adventure of a lifetime. Enjoy.
