What kind of weather can we expect for the first week of Oct.? We plan to leave by 8 each morning so what can we expect temp.wise. Looking at some of the videos on YouTube Oct. can be pretty chilly.

Should be a good time. I've done Pitts. to DC in mid to late Oct. Can get cold in higher elevations north of Cumberland. Leafs won't have changed by then, but bugs should not be a problem. Biggest problem is rain, it can get muddy. Be prepared especially if you are planning to camp.
