Routes / Northern Tier to North Lakes route

« on: April 07, 2017, 05:14:17 pm »

Am planning to ride most of the Northern Tier route starting in Anacortes in late June. Last year, I brought both my hammock, which I prefer to sleep in, and a small tent along on a ride from VA to Bar Harbor via Pittsburgh and Erie and found that I used the hammock more than 90% of the time. This year, I am thinking of leaving the tent behind and maybe just bringing the hammock and a bivy bag for when I can't find a good spot to hang the hammock. Does that sound like it would work? Also, I am thinking about finishing the ride via part of the North Lakes route instead of riding through Illinois and Indiana. Any thoughts on that? Thanks!
