Finally done couch surfing.

After a month of camping near Rhode Island for a few nights at a time, our electrical issues have been ironed out by Main Line Overland in NH. . Shake down completed. Now in a nice site in central Maine. Only the beginning of our travels. Follow along if you’re interested in keeping up with our travels:

Great to hear you're all sorted and moving on from the shake down phase.

Main line is about an hour and 40 minutes from me though I've never been. Have to stop by sometime

Back to RI after wild camping at the edge of the Maine wilderness for 5 nights. Couple of little things to sort out, such as reducing carry case footprint, propane extension hose, extra water filters and getting another set of treds. I’ll be moving the rack forward 4” along with a tire repair & rotation. Had our first tire puncture ever, so I finally got to use the ARB tire plugging kit I’ve been carrying for over 15 years. Great shake down run. We’ll be headed way north the 12 of July and on our permatour.

Those logging roads up in Maine sure do love to punch holes in tires.

Good luck in your journey

It was about 1/4” diameter- old spike or something.

Saw your Instagram. Almost looked like a chain link section from old skidder tire chain, logging chain, or the such. Once had plug tires three times in one day running around on those old logging roads

yikes- we considered goin deep into the wilderness, as it was we were happy to do a bit of exploring and 3 nights of camping just a bit north of Moosehead Lake. Going way west & north of there I think I’d want to go in with no less than 2 trucks.
