Set your rig up as you wish it to be, you be happier in the long run. Gas pricing/costs have always been the largest expense when traveling for me. I know it and plan accordingly. If your worried about running out somewhere, carry extra. If worried purely on cost, save some more.
Get out there...
I've owned both and at 6'-2" / 230lbs.. Toyota Tacoma is the final choice. Someone said they felt Jeep had more room, I differ on that statement. I feel jammed in the jeep!
The Taco is actually my wife's. I built up from my full-size!
I'm going to setup a Meetup for those interested in exploring NH. The goal is to put likeminded together and have a network to run with! I'm adding my Reddit friends as well.
As of now, it will be Sunday April 10th at 1pm. Location to be determined by those that RSVP. I'm going fairly central...
I have a lifetime seniors pass so it's a 'no-brainer' to get one! Annual, I guess it depends on where.. Kinda like buying a State Pass if traveling into another state.
A friends one as well. He went with a 5K unit which I thought was rather small. He said "Still better than 6 guys pushing!" 2 years old and only used to pull down trees so far..
I personally don't have one. My tracboards have been all I've needed so far. If I did buy one, I do like my friend...
Wahington to Montana via Canada? Hell ya!
Turn as far north as you can before driving south along the Rockies and work with the pain your face has from 'smiling' so much!
I started up in Jasper and only got turned around because the pass wasn't clear! My face ached for 3 days for that far...
Fuel at the stations I didn't see any issues, but... be aware, those stations can be many miles apart! Example, no stations open (to the public) between San Felipe & Guerrero Negro. We ran through Catavina on our way as my sources (map/internet) claimed gas in Catavina. ~330 miles and I average...
I was just there and agree with MMc. Read the reg's of what you can/can not bring across. You can bring gas containers, but no fuel in them. As MMc said, gas is cheaper than CA! Fuel up down there. I have no experience with firewood, yet what MMc said makes sense. Honestly, I found free wood...
Well they combine less than I thought, cool! Could make for a nice loop run in VT. The black route showing is one of mine.. New Boston to Washington, NH by dirt (mostly).
What I've read you don't even need 4x4 for it. I figure to overlay the NEBDR VT sections with the PDT for I figure it overlaps in a few spots. Much like both the Flatlander & Hamster routes do in NH.
Still curious which version of the PDT you have?
Lots to explore in VT! The PDT I hear is mostly dirt and not technical. I have the .gpx for the 2018 route. You have the files for the earlier version (2012 I think)? I believe you can make a loop with both!
I've run the Eastern half of section 6 and had no issues at all with my F150. I'm lifted an 1" from stock...
The western half of 6 & and any points further I have not seen, yet figure it's about the same.. I ran about half the MABDR last summer and passed on only a few sections mainly due to...
I'm looking to finish the NEBDR section 6 this spring then start into section 5 (VT).
First curious if any can commit on the roads? Then is anyone else interested?
Intent this summer is to complete the NEBDR and hopefully venture a bit in PA.
I did 3 parts to this while exploring again along the Maine Coast. This is part 1. Each of the CG's we stayed at were good, coastal and on season you better have reservations!
