The Great North American ERE Trail
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2024 1:06 pm
The idea: on a map, place dots at locations where forumites are either willing to host gatherings, or can point to good public land/cheap campsites for gatherings. Host sites wouldn't necessarily be open all the time, of course - hosts would establish their own rules for when available. Could be seasonal, could be specific Event only.
In between the dots are a variety of options for travel: biking, driving, hitching, trains and busses, long distance walking, etc.
Perhaps once a year we organize a long Road Trip. People join and peel off when they like, travel how they like. We gather at host sites per a schedule or drop-in, per the host's rules. The more we do this, the more experience and information we gather on resources along the routes.
The First Trail Road Trip could be this year, between only one other node and Quail Haven for fest24. The annual Trip could evolve from there.
People could also travel the Trail solo or in small groups whenever they like. The Knowledge of the Trail could be a sort of group shared experience that we build over time.
(Splitting off from the ERE City thread, see here for reference.)
QH is one such node (the southern tip of the Sierra Nevadas). Current status: generally available to any forumite, but contact me ahead of time.
Post ideas, post nodes, post route information here.
