Yes, that would have been me  . I fuel up at Nick's because they have diesel, and I either stay at Burke Mountain campground for Memorial Day weekend or during the NembaFest Mountain Bike Festival in late June or my trip in September. I like the range of the TDI Touareg (26 gallon tank) . I only use close to 16 gallons towing the Pod to East Burke (15mpg -240 miles one way), then refuel before heading back to Connecticut. I love not having to stop for fuel on the way. The R-Pod fits several sites at Burke Mountain campground. I always ride with a large group of companions who are part of a MTB meetup group. We park our shuttle vehicles downtown in the main lot, and then we ride directly from the campground. At the end of the day, we drive back up that road (I do NOT want to pedal up that road on a FS mountain bike!!!). I'll be there again later this September for BBB ( Bikes, Beer, Bacon !!!). Usually we have close to 20 or more people for this event, and about 5-6 sites. At least 5 people take their small campers last year. I have the only Pod. Some of those guys paid $15K+ for their T@B trailers!! |

We go through E.Burke a lot as one of my sons lives up in Island Pond and we go back and forth a lot! That is some great mileage for towing a pod! We'll look for you later this month, we will be headed south around the 27th for 5 weeks down fishing on Cape Hatteras

I'll be at Kingdom Trails on the 22-25th. I'm hoping that next year I get to do an epic 2-3 week trip out west.

Camped in Peninsula State Park, Fish Creek, Wisconsin two weeks ago. The park is in Door County which is a finger running NE from Green Bay.
There are 460 campsites. We camped during the week and the park was not full,
it is for the fall color weekends. Our Pod was one of three I saw at the park. During
the 1-1/2 hours traveling to the park on I-43 I saw 2 other Pod going south.
This is the first time after about 15 camping trips that no one asked to tour
our Pod. Pods are getting common. |
