Roof Rack + Snorkel = Overland?

You should try living in Ontario, very few places to wheel...really only one great area, Bobcaygeon/Ardbeg and Ontario is 1,076,395 km²
in Area. So much restricted land up here. Sucks.

I live on the East coast so I am qualified to say....the east coast sucks a fat one in all aspects with the exception of food. As far as jeeping/wheeling/overlanding east vs west coast, it's not even a contest. Reading Eddie's threads, there is basically a single comparable thing to find on the east coast, and that's the ghost trains in Maine.

I haven't been to Ghost Trains, where in Maine is that?

And that is just sad considering how big of a country you live in and how unpopulated so much of it is.

Oh no, I think he had it right the first time. Nevada is all full and we're not accepting anymore residents. :crazyeyes: :D

Kinda crazy to think for as BIG as Texas is, there really is very little public land available to explore.

True. But they can visit and spend money at the casinos. ;)

Texas is almost entirely privately owned. Great if you know the right people because there are some fantastic areas to explore, sucks for everyone else.

Buried inside North Maine Woods.

Literally you need to hike/boat, or jeep all the way in, then with a handheld GPS unit, hunt into the woods for a while until, in the middle of a dense thick forest, you come up on a small clearing with two old and seemingly very out of place locomotives. Of all the stuff Eddie posts about Nevada, Cali, Utah, AZ, etc about the old west, this is basically the only thing available on the east coast that is as cool.

If you recall, this happened back in 2011 when a Canadian couple got deep into the Nevada wilderness on their way to Vegas using back roads. Her husband died trying to go for help and she wasn't found until 49 days later and just still alive.

I do remember this. And who could forget the Stolpas. The news made the guy out to be a hero when he was an effing idiot.

No, dude with his wife and kid that tried to take Nevada and California back roads in the middle of a snowstorm because 80 was closed. He got the pleasure of enjoying a 40 mile walk in the snow.
