Night owl update :) Airing Down - I should stop here to mention something about airing down on an exploratory trip. I’ve found that if you air down early, you’ll be thinking “why did I bother” at the end of the easy dirt road as you dig around in the back for the compressor. If you wait...

With a little throttle and some clever steering I made it through the 8” boggy surface uphill to a firmer area, warned Josh over the CB and ran back to guide him through. The road had looked great on the surface but there were two brown-black sunken tracks down the middle, it was clear that...

Trio Pond Road - Class unknown - led us up a steep and rough gravel road. I put the FJ in 4-Low to keep the bumping down, it bottomed out too easily with all the extra weight. Cresting the hill we reached Trio Ponds, on which there were a few more camps. We approached a 3 way split in the...

I'm blown away by this trip, thank you so much for sharing. Describing the mood and how you interacted with the people got me excited, disappointed, angry, sad, happy, and stressed out! I feel like I was there. Thanks again -N

Back on the dirt we started up E. Nash Stream Rd in Nash Stream State Forest. By this time I was getting the hang of the overloaded handling of the FJ, though something would have to be done about the front wheels bouncing off the ground while climbing hills. We turned East off Nash Stream and...

DAY TWO - Friday 9.23.11 224 Miles Tunes for the day: Bill Cosby Standup Day two began at 7 AM with coffee and oatmeal for breakfast and an early (kind of) start to the day. It was still misty and we had to pack up wet sleeping gear in the hopes that it would dry later in the day. Josh...

Maybe this should be moved to completed adventures as it's a 5 day trip... a mod mind passing judgement here?

Ok, updates may be slow because I'm still writing and editing this... but here's the first day :) DAY ONE- Thursday 9.22.11 155 Miles After hurriedly packing the FJ with Nick B and Jason, we were on the road at 5:00 PM headed for Concord. I would be driving for the whole trip since Nick B...

Stay tuned for more :)

The Mission: I had never been to the North Maine Woods. I'd always heard it was a place where you saw more moose than people, where you could drive for days on endless dirt roads. Roads where overloaded & speeding log trucks set the rules. They made the roads, they own the roads...

I would see if you can get an E-Locker 3rd from a junkyard or something and re-gear that. The wiring harness might already be in place.
