    Campground recommendations needed - White Mountains, NH

    Both The Flatlander & BDR NE section 6 pass through there. Both are mostly paved with some dirt roads. Both are rural NH countryside! PM me if you want the .gpx files. Just came back from our first trip through the Adirondacks! Stayed at Wellington Notch CG. You have a spot you are heading to...

    Starting to explore the Adirondack's and points west.

    Did a drive through and found so many rivers, streams. brooks of clear water just hoping to be fished. Not finding an abundance of spots to camp and fish.. Since my daughter has moved to NW NY I'll be traveling through a bit more than I have ever (like never..). All new to me! We just ran the...

    U.S. Park Pass

    I'm in the Nor'east and use it in all the National Forests! !/2 price on camping in the NF is still worth it! I've used it at National wildlife areas along the coast as well. Remember it's not just National Parks! It's all Federal run areas.

    These National Parks Will Require Reservations in 2022

    So happy to hear you visited the Nor'East. Gaspe is a very unique area if you get amongst the locals! Same can be said for Newfoundland (U being silent, first D almost, you'll get the hang of it). I've wanted back for 3 years now... I also hope I out-live them... You ever do come back to...

    These National Parks Will Require Reservations in 2022

    Hmm.. I see it as the trend ends in 5-10 years yet Federal government as typical will have these changes in place and it will remain. They don't typically return to a simpler way.. Latest issue I ran into is now the increased costs of reserving a site. My cost for a site is almost the same...

    DIY Dual Zone Fridge

    I didn't cut my basket, yet did add a XPS divider as you did. Works better okay in my mind, not great.. It's temperature swing and to keep items frozen tends to make upper section too cold. We use it to aid length of time for frozen items (not to freeze). Reality is they are small units and we...

    Campground recommendations needed - White Mountains, NH

    My suggestion, especially if the first time family camping in NH, would be Hancock Campground NF east of Lincoln on Rt 112 (The Kancamagus Highway). The Town of Lincoln is nearby (touristy) and the Kanc has much to offer for hikes of all levels. The CG sits along the Pemi, so water to play in...

    Hey New Yorker's and those that play in..

    Drove out to my daughters new place in western NY state. Nice run along Rt7. I forgot all about the Erie Canal and cross over it quite a few times.. Nice service road down there! Can you run it? Anyone work out a route to travel along it? I have found bike trails along it, but any trail/roads we...

    How much to spend on a Overlander?

    I do get that! I turned over 5 gallons of water to a dessert neighbor growing herbs on his site as he travels. I had it to spare & was about to 'water up' again. Grabbed his trash as well on my way out, as I ha my own to take care of. I love these folks! Travel with what they have. Enjoy where...

    How to Puerto Rico?

    That's just it! What and how do you. 3 days of camping, like commercial or backcountry sites? B&B it? What did you rent? Somethingyocould stay in or just a 4wd vehicle? Was it even 4wd? I'm researching where to stay and see there's plenty of camping opportunities. Also pricing B&B's and...

    How to Puerto Rico?

    I am debating a look at Puerto Rico and wish to do this byway style. I'm not going to transit my rig there.. just too much dollar. Anyone do it? Right now I'm thinking B&B the way through.. Anyone done it? I have a couple of contacts there and can put something together, but.... Anyone...

    How much to spend on a Overlander?

    Bottom line here is pretty simple. It's not what you spend to look the part. It's doing the part. Take what you have and do it. Travel. There's so much out there to explore! I am and love what I'm seeing.

    Coronado NF & Chiricahua National Monument

    One reason to enter AZ here was to explore a bit in the Coronado National Forest. FR 42 is 20 miles of awesome travel. We encountered over a dozen deer and Colette spotted a Mountain Lion perched on a rock just above the road! We also passed by several campsites, some small that just the truck...

    US East New Hampshire Class VI Roads and Trails

    @Rad4 : I took the time and added that list to Gaia and have explored out many of those roads. I can say that nearly 1/2 of those are either absorbed by land-owners, gated or over grown to an extent of nonexistent. Beware as you travel out and use the list. The State has taken a hands-off...

    Camp Poop (sorry for the bluntness but I want to know)

    I debated the PETT, yet ended up with a Thetford portable. This is mainly for the wife to pee at night and thinking if she requires more than once it could be weird.. The Thetford works great as such. Poo time is what most seem to do anyway, a place bag in in and dispose of. We use those grocery...

    How much to spend on a Overlander?

    Now this kinda fits what I just posted. I really fit none of these. I'm a Traveler, in a rig that goes most anywhere and has gear that will get me there and back.. most times (lol).. or with some effort.. Guess I'm not cool! Safe Travels
