+Bzzliteyr Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Hey guys and gals, I just returned from a tour in Afghanistan and I am considering traveling across the country by hitchhiking from Victoria to Montreal as a new way to experience the country. I have driven across numerous times but want to expand my horizons. Of course, it's also a cool way to get to some geocaches I would not normally have seen. Does anyone have travel tips or anecdotes to share? Thanks Quote
+Juicepig Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 It would be neat to see if you could TB yourself, and arrange a cross country hitchhike using only cachers. You can camp out in my backyard for a few days, I will let you Quote

+Juicepig Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 hmm, maybe I should try and get myself to Halifax for a wedding this way.. lot cheaper then a flight, but may take a week or two Quote
+2happy2gether Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) You have a place to crash here at Camp Borden too, and I can help you on your way up to North Bay or down to London. Edited March 15, 2008 by 2happy2gether Quote
+Binrat Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 You have accommodation's here in Brockville Ontario and if you continue on to Nova Scotia I know there is a bed in Shearwater for you. Put a TB tag on your backpack and "dip" yourself into any cache where you make a major change in direction, geat for logging your mileage. Binrat Quote
+Bzzliteyr Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 Thanks alot to all of you.. I am not really sure of where my trails may take me so I'll take you up on your offers once I head towards that direction.. I'll drop you a message a day or so before I close in...unfortunately flying by the seat of my pants really doesn't give me too much planning to do. I do have a spare TB plus a couple I saved from Afghanistan so I might drop them off as I cross. Quote
+Bzzliteyr Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the offers guys and gals. I might take a couple of people up on those offers. I hear the hardest part is going from Winnipeg across the top of Lake Superior. If it is as long hiking as it was driving, I can completely understand that!! I you are still offering up a place to stay, can you email your contact details (let's just go with place and phone number with real name) at (email address removed by moderator by request)? Thanks a ton, I head out tomorrow or the day after.. it should be fun!! Edited December 18, 2009 by mtn-man Quote
