Cape Henlopen did require three nights Easter weekend even though I was only staying for two.
Just happened to be stopped for lunch when I saw your reply.
All Delaware State Parks have a two night minimum on weekends and some holiday weekends require three nights but apparently not Easter.
FYI...Anyone planning to stay at Cape Henlopen State Park would do well to check availability. I have a dollar to a donut that weekends are fully booked through the summer. I was there for two nights (Friday and Saturday) this Easter weekend. I made my reservation in mid-February and the place was almost booked solid at that time. Also, there is a two night minimum, at least on weekends. (I have never tried to book during the week.) The good news is that the place is worthy of an extra day. Lots of areas to explore in an around the park. Many of them can be accessed via bike trails. And good dolphin spotting during much of the year. I came over from Cape May, NJ via the ferry to Lewes. Nice ride, and we diverted course a bit to get a better look at a whale. Another option during a day off there is to hop the ferry to check put the tony beach town of Cape May, NJ. $10 each way. No surcharge for bikes. About a 90 min. sail. The center of Cape May is about a 5 mile ride from the ferry terminal on flat roads with wide shoulders.
While not nearly as "safe" for the bike, you can sometimes ship via Greyhound pretty cheap. Other times it is outrageous. Can't figure out their algorithm but when shipping, I do check them.
Sorry for the confusion.
3.4” diameter, way too big.
The Clean Bottles idea is sound, ease of cleaning is always good. But I found you had to be very careful about tightening both ends. Just a little too loose or too tight would leak. My son thought so too.
Thanks! I do have the ACA maps as well as the app! Perhaps I just haven't learned how to use them properly as I wasn't finding much. though it may have been a case of where I was. There seems to be more camping now that I am further west.
The Kleen website does not give diameter of the products. The ones I've seen are too big.
The Hydros don't have a top you can drink from on the move. Any I've seen in stores are too big.
I could not find Stanley model given TY0604. The ones I have seen in stores and on their website are too big. 3.1". Need to be 2.8"
Somebody else may make one that fits now, but frankly I got sick and tired of looking.
Remember, I want one that you don't have to spread the cage on.
I rode from Clinton to St Louis a couple of years ago. I didn't go all the way to Machens as I didn't like the look of hwy 67/367 to get into St Louis. I finished the trail in St Charles and used the ACA map (Great Rivers South - St Louis Spur) to ride into St. Louis. It does take you within a block or two of Amtrak in St Louis.
