Ok so you don't want to do PA.  How about the Shenandoah's?  They have a 
relatively easy grade and it gets too rough, you can take the old AT aka Skyland 
Drive!  However nothing will be open and the road will most likely be closed to 
cars unless there's a heat wave.  A couple crossings roads, which have lots 
of traffic, can be used as bailout points.
