    Hey man just a heads up. Diesel will gel below around thirty degrees so I would grab some anti gel for your truck any time you’re in super cold weather during your trip. Oh and plug in your truck at night whenever you have a chance.
    Awesome trip so far buddy!

      In New Hampshire it will be clear/cool this week with few small storms temps between 30 at night and 50s day. Thank for the reminder and What a great tip it is that time of year!!

    Ricola, cough drops are really a great relief. Yellow bag, original. I always pick the wraps and sandwiches in the back of the shelf and loaves of bread too. And check the date they are made. Bag salads too. This is fun following your journey. ☕️👍🏻🇺🇸. 🍜

    Still a lot of beautiful color here in New Hampshire.. Usually the color stays until the first snow/rain storm with high winds to knock the leaves off the trees. Try to visit the kanc but beware it will be busy. Forest road 17 has some boondocking spots close to the kanc highway in Conway, NH.

    Hey Jonathan! The adventure begins! Hope you are doing well and feeling better as you trek across the country. The color in the New England area is getting pretty good. I just drove through Maine this past weekend. Not yet peak, but getting there. If you are going up past Portland, Maine, I would highly recommend a stop at Acadia National Park. It is an amazing place. The mountains aren't like the Cascades, but still some great hikes (including some spots where you have to hang on to iron rungs in the rocks to avoid falling...). You can drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain to catch the sunrise. It is the highest spot on the east coast and the views on a good day are amazing. With your video skills, you'd capture it very well. Enjoy the trip! I'm looking forward to your adventure.

    Jonathan, I’d say you have to take the good ole Blue Ridge Parkway. The Blue Ridge Trail parkway is a total of 469 miles from near main all the way down the east coast following through the ancient Appalachian mountains. These rolling hills also bring a treasure that you can’t get anywhere else in the world and that’s millions of caves. I’d recommend finding a A caves or, visit Luray Caverns, Virginia for the best experience with a smooth guide through the ancient mountains.

    Great video! As a former employee and a loyal shopper of Trader Joe’s, the “fresh” pre-made packed food like the wraps, sushi, and salads are the weakest part of the store. Stick to the dry foods and frozen items, which can be really good. You might be better off buying fresh food along the way since you have the storage for it. Love your series. Safe journeys!!!

    Hi, Jonathan! I pray that you have a safe journey. I think you will enjoy Portland Maine. It's a great area!
    I can recommend Zicam for respiratory illness. The one that works for me is the chewable. It dissolves as you chew. It tastes great, too. Chew one every 3 hours, and you'll recover a lot quicker. 😊👍👍👍👍

    Unfortunately, life has its own nuances, and it's NO FUN to be sick ANY time.
    It's nice you have your cozy little tiny home with you instead of having to tent camp, especially in the colder temps, and when not feeling normal.
    I'm sure you'll be fine and think you're doing right by resting and taking some kind of medicine.
    I'm excited about your trip, and I can't wait to follow WHEREVER you go no matter how long it takes.
    Be safe and get well! ❤

    Be very careful while travelling along the northern highways at dusk into the night. When you hit a bear it’s like running into 2000 lbs of lard and a dear can total your rig. Please drive safe

BTW- saw your Wild Fly hat- as a 50+ year fly fisherman I encourage your fishing endeavors

    This is a good video, because whether it’s van, life, teardrop life, big RV, bus life, it’s never going to be sunshine and roses every day.

    @FriPilot Год назад

    Sort of an after-the-fact comment, but your background music reminded me of my long-distance trips and how
    interesting it can be to listen to local radio stations as you pass through cities and towns.
    Also, after the fact, most cities of any size at all have an urgent care center. Good places to drop in to let the docs or
    the nurse practitioners have a quick look at your throat et al.

  • @markwisniewski2227
    @markwisniewski2227 Год назад

    Upstate NY and Vermont are gorgeous right now with the changing of the leaves. And you are fine on time. Most of NY is at mid change, the Adirondacks are at peak but they won't fall for a while. Vermont is mid way except for the northern part which is like the Adirondacks.

  • @maryboyer9659
    @maryboyer9659 Год назад

    Take care of yourself, and don’t overdo it. Stop and smell the roses along the way so you can stay well rested! You are going to have the best time! As you make your way east, reach out if you need a place to moochdock in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Stay safe.

  • @buh_buh_becky
    @buh_buh_becky Год назад

    you may just have to go a little further south to really catch peek season foliage. I'm in CT and the leaves are just starting to change here, so there's a little more time here to catch the leaves. :) just a thought.

    I'm excited to follow along on your trip to Maine, as I grew up in New England and think it's one of the greatest areas of thos country. I do worry, however, that you're going to be disappointed by the foliage this year. It has been one of the wettest years in a long time which is messing with the leaves this year.

    I know that northern is pretty colorful right now. But to tell you the truth, the smoky mountains and South of there they hit their highest towards the end of October. So if it's too far gone when you get there? Head South to the smoky mountains. Cause I hear It is beautiful.
    I am going to shoot to do it two years from now.

    • @Ezrabastian
      @Ezrabastian Год назад +3

      About 9,000 miles.
      9000 ÷12mpg=750 gallons of diesel.
      750 x ≈ 4 = 3000
      So, $3000 minimum in fuel cost!
      $4 dollars a gallon is average.

    Each engine builder has a specification as to what RPM the motor has the best running characteristics.... its called maximum torque... its at that point that the engine produces the most torque and uses the least amount of fuel... since your traveling across country try keeping the RPM at that and you will have a fuel savings.... I have a large motorhome and I run it at that point and get some fuel savings that otherwise I would never see....
