For sure, the easiest way to learn is to do. But I have zero desire to touch electrical stuff. None. I have built the physical parts of my truck myself and it's been very satisfying to do so. But when it comes time to figure out why the remote works to unlock the doors, but none of the switches...

Time flies. As soon as I go a day without writing these posts, I instantly lose track of everything. Like I said in the last post, I thought I’d find a scenic place to camp. Well, New Hampshire did not disappoint. I slept on a highway pullout (hwy 16), hidden by a few trees. A short trek led me...

Sorry, you must've missed the part where it has "overland" in the name.

Last night, I drove from the Gift Shop to Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge. While they don’t explicitly allow camping from what I saw, there are no signs prohibiting it. It was insane. I could see the Milky Way with the naked eye. I was too exhausted to take pics, and it got down cold enough...

Beech Mountain was a flop… The hike was short, and steep. A bit of scrambling which is fun. The main problem is the fire tower is locked, and none of the reviews I read said that that was the case. A bit sad, but the sunset was still gorgeous through the trees. Though I wouldn’t recommend...

I mean, you offered, so it'd be rude not to take you up on that! I think I'm going to head home after the next week and wait for TN/NC to pop off mid/late October, so I'll probably hit you up then! I appreciate you reading, by the way. I hope you get out and take some pics, even if they're what...

And what most of you are here for.

Also, got around to the pics from Mt Mansfield in Vermont.

Today has been amazing! But it’s not over yet. Tonight I’m going to hike Beech Mountain Firetower, still in Acadia, for the sunset. It should be amazing, and hopefully not much of a crowd because it’s Monday. But today started at the Walmart on the mainland, again. It’s a nice place, I feel...

All good. Darkroom is alright as of now, ideally I'd print everything locally (in Charleston) and be able to oversee everything, but that's a lot of work. I was talking to them the other day and they're about to launch a redesign of the entire site and payment systems. I'd wait to see how that...

Since my last post, life's been good. Acadia is gorgeous. Yesterday I drove the loop, the best part was Thunder Hole. I happened to show up when the tide was right, and man, it thunders. If you don't know, it's a cave that's been dug out by the ocean. When the swell sucks out water and pumps it...

This topic has been beat to death at this point but I’ll add. The only RTTs worth buying are fiberglass ones. Fabric RTTs are the same as fabric tents and a waste of money. So now you have to decide between a high end ground tent (sub $500) and a hard shell RTT (2-4K). How often are you camping...

And for today, I drove from Vermont to New Hampshire last night. Around 6:30 I checked the weather. Rain for 4 days straight. Adios. I packed up right then (the spot I had was amazing, seen below) and drove 5 hours to Brewer, Maine. An hour or so out from Acadia. I slept at a Walmart there, and...

At some point in the day I got a nail in my driver front tire. I went for a short hike and came back to the tire hissing in the ski resort parking lot. No bueno. I always keep a plug kit in my truck, as well as my air compressor, and a full size spare and jack. I pulled the nail out with a...

Where I left off, I had just gotten off the ferry across lake Champlain, hit Walmart and Planet Fitness, and got groceries. Following that, I was cold. I was tired. I gave in. I went to Dunkin and got a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I only have one a year, out of principle. It was mediocre, truthfully...

Got some more coming for you! Good luck! I was definitely a bit early departing in late Sept. But now it looks like everything is starting to get colorful. Hope y'all score, and make a thread for your trip!

Oh that does sound good, and easy. Heading to Walmart now so I will absolutely try it. Honestly the biggest hurdle to my cooking is cleanup. You definitely take it for granted just scrubbing dishes with running water at home.

So, that was about all I planned for New York. I was still a bit early for the fall colors, sadly. The next day I wanted to head into Burlington. So, on the topic of "public camping being nonexistent", I headed toward Essex, NY to try and find somewhere to spend the night before catching the...

Tuesday feels like years ago, so it's time I recap what I've been up to. Tuesday was a lazy day, I spent it in the tent writing the previous posts, editing pictures, and doing general work, thanks to the Jackery solar setup. The weather was perfect, maybe the mid-low 60s. The sun shined both...

Thanks man. It's been awesome so far.
