Making a Good Route Great | Harder, Better Add-ons to Mid Atlantic MABDR

The MABDR was my first adventure route, and yet even on my first ADV trip as a total novice, I was looking for more challenging options along the route. After I came back to explore the area, I realized there were many incredible roads DIRECTLY along the official route. While the official 2024 Backcountry Discovery Route update helped, there was still much left on the table. This trip is to show how the MABDR can be even better.
