I think every issue so far has been well worth the price and everyone who has seen it has been absolutely mesmorized by the content/quality, but you might wanna use a better comparison next time. These days, there's a lot of things cheaper than a tank of gas.
Still love the Journal though!!!!!! AMAZING!

Vermont is so close...
This sounds very interesting! It's so close as well.
Can't wait to read about it in Overland Journal. Worth every penny in my opinion! As one wise dude said: "Buy the best, cry once..." applies to this scenario as well.
Cheers,

Good luck on the Expedition............Great news......
I was in Vermont the last 2 september's and found many forest roads open. We had a great time, I was on the way to Maine for the annual "mother-in-law" visit. I like VT better than NH these days.
I even got rousted out of a NF campground by a Lady Forest Ranger last year. She was mad because it was closed already (the week after labor day?), the gate was open so she felt partialy at fault. In the end she told me all about how it's OK to drive the forest roads and gave me her only map, then showed me the coolest places to go.
She said they are not anti-motorized useage.. Guess which state got my vacation money the next year..

2 days til the trip. New heater core installed today to make it comfy.
Many of the town Select Boards close the class IV roads, Unmaintained class IV roads and Legal Trails until May 15th to avoid excessive damage during "Mud Season". Yes that is really what they call spring in VT. Just an FYI to help with your planning.

Keene Valley is beautiful, I used to do a lot of snowshoeing and winter camping up there. Sadly, the Adirondack Park Agency( anti-access Gestapo ) has shut down all of the old roads and denied the history of the adirondacks railroads, great camps, logging towns etc. Access is so concentrated now that overuse of whats left is itself becoming destructive, the Mt. Marcy hiking trail is worn 7 feet deep to the bedrock and wide enough to drive a truck up it.
