Looking forward to this run everyone. Getting closer...sitting down today to secure some lodging for Wed evening and Sun evening..somewhere with WARM WATER AND SHOWERS...no doubt.

What are you all doing to prep with your rigs?

Sounds like an excuse to add an onboard heat exchanger and shower setup...... Twisted Evil

Our cottage is tiny but there's a couch to crash on, it folds out into a bed but your tent is better...trust me, I've spent some nights on that couch You're welcome to use the shower, too.

Located in Warren, CT.

That is very generous of you.

I bought a nemo shower for 100$ish which will get us by or you can drop 300+ for a propane unit that ive heard first hand works very very well but takes up a good amount of space

Has there been any mention of teams to caravan up? It sounds like we have several traveling up the I-95 corridor and another group traveling east on US route 2.

It looks like the Maine welcome station on I-95 in York is about three hours from the rendezvous point (via 95, then ME 201 in Fairfield)

My wife and I will be coming across Rt. 2, we are in Whitefield, NH. There is either a campground in Jefferson (with hot showers) that I could get us some space at (probably for cheap - just got to get the owner some Jameson's).

7 weeks to go!

1. Have coordinates been established where we will all meet on Thursday at 5 PM?
2. Have coordinates been established where we will all meet on Friday morning?
3. Is it final that we will complete the run on Sunday at Pittston Farms?
4. What is the estimated time we will complete the run on Sunday?

We are trying to figure out lodging arrangements. Thanks

Just wanted to pass on that Delorme was have a $10 off sale on all atlases (gazeteers.) I know most of us are running GPS but the rec's mentioned having the atlas. Delorme's regular price is $19.95 & with 10 off it was about $15 to my door.

As far as I can tell the sale has ended.

Edit:

However I did find some really good deals on Amazon.

I am going to set up an IPAD. I believe it has to be GPS capable and any advice on what program to run and where to download maps from and specifically what maps will we need to load?
