I'm a bit busy this afternoon but I'll give some ideas for you guys later tonight. If we go the rt 4 way it'll be a good amount of ground to cover. But for anyone who hasn't been out towards killington it's a nice site seeing cruise. Always a believer in making the first day low pressure

 

We need an updated count of who is going to be able to make it. Depending on how many people we have confirmed and how many we want in one camp site will probably determine where we go. Doesn't matter to me one way or another. Emerald Lake might be the best bet if we get a few adjacent sites. Took a brief look earlier and there were a few groups of 3 adjacent sites in sections C

 

I'm down for anything!

 

Current count appears to be
@m603holden
@Skierrichy (+his wife maybe)
@MurderedTacoV2
@micwillia (he's gonna convince his gf this is way better than beer fest)

@Bruce988jl (tentative)

Who did I miss?
@Spare Parts ?
@AArias1022 ?

 

99% of the problem when mapping routes out in Vermont... Because they put roads in the middle of no where. Haha

 

I just saw this post and would love to join-I just have to convince my wife. Originally we were planning on going to the national seashore in Cape cod but this has been a bucket list weekend trip for me since I moved to the Northeast last year. Tentatively put me on the list if there is room.

 

Check with @SR-71A but I'm guessing there's room

 

@jmferg for sure! I think we're sitting at about 6 confirmed trucks, with ~8 people as of right now. In the back of my mind I was thinking a group of ~10 trucks would be a good size to "cap" it at due to the small trails.

Also, sounds like theres a few guys from the NE Overland fb page that might join in their jeeps/trucks. So thats probably 2-3 more

 

Yep. You're deff doing a 180 and then reversing half way down the trail to make the tail the head on these trails. Once you're on, you're on.

 

Im sure.. Thats one of the reasons Im thinking a group on the smaller side would be better.

 

I would consider just put a minimum that everyone had a full size spare as well.

 

I hope I dont have to say that haha!

 

It sounds like basic recovery/wheeling gear sound be a requirement just so it'll make it easier on everyone. That's at least how it sounds from the way you describe the trails

 

Or at least a common tire size someone can loan you. Again. This was the average stuff on the other trail

 

I think most people will be ok with just a spare. The biggest risk is probably a pinch or a side wall being torn into.

 

PS I've got an air compressor if anyone gets real stuck and needs to air down.

 

^seconded

*Hell airing down just a bit just makes things more comfortable. Went out on Sunday and just dropping from 35 to 30 made a world of difference how it felt driving around.
