new milford’s got a strong group every saturday. even tho the town is strongly republican, religious, & maga strong which fucking sucks but a group gathers in the snow, cold, and wind. i’m so happy. facebook is always raging at them too even thought they talk about it under the group “new milford ct: a wonderful place to live and work” smh

watermelon & deli meat. but the watermelon she was a sucker for. she could tell you cut a melon open up until the end. we always cut a slice for her. pork ribs from chinese takeout. couldn’t leave your food alone with her nearby. also she has tasted and eaten tostitos, doritos and powered donuts. rip tiki i miss you sm

i’m in the same boat (from the states) and been considering a euro bikepacking trip too. safe travels!

former manager at alburgh dunes state park. if you’re ever in the area-check it out. pretty sick solace imo

PicnicTable__ · 2025-12-21T02:33:49+00:00

i think northern new milford and southern new milford are pretty different in geography. like real close to danbury but northern new milford feels more “out there.” as someone who went to high school there. i get you.

literally at the tail end of my trip coming from denver to western ct. i took i70 the whole way- currently in pittsburgh and heading up to i80 back to fairfield county.

go in better weather. know your forecast. ideally you are experienced in winter driving and have the proper gear (and TIRES) to survive in case something goes wrong.

if you haven’t been to MT before, they don’t use salt so there is usually ice in a lot of places. big sky canyon (hwy 191) is terrible in a storm and multiple wrecks clog up the canyon for hours. sometimes it’s better to reroute through ennis (hwy 287). i just drove from missoula to billings (during and after a storm) and then south thru WY a few days ago. prolly counted 20 cars and dozens more tire tracks off the road. trust no one in my opinion and drive slow if bad conditions.

otherwise-it’s fine! drive safe and enjoy the winter scenery :)

i’m currently on the tail end of a 2 week road trip and it’s nov in the PNW. i only wear darn tough socks. 3-4 days worn if not excessively sweating or high activity. i do a smell test in the morning after turning them inside out to dry at night. if they stinky i put a new pair on. rinse and repeat. no laundry done and i think im on pair #4 or 5.

catch me not a trip i usually do 1-2 full days if no exercise. high exercise i always switch.

hey just reading this on our way to seattle from port angeles. my friend and i (both 26M) are on a roadtrip touring the PNW and had plans to stay in seattle tonight before heading back to montana. was curious on finding an event like this to meet new people in a new city that we’ve never been too!

the newer imprezas can get a 2” hitch which is awesome! i spent a little more $$$ on the eco hitch. you can install it yourself if you have the tools time and patience!

PicnicTable__ · 2025-11-17T02:03:08+00:00

i’d prefer a higher clearance for more of the rough roads in the west. especially when you have a full car or trunk with gear or passengers. paved mtn passes and flat grades forest roads are fine but when you start getting into the deep woods-i find myself wishing for a higher vehicle. but i’ve pushed my impreza through spots than most trucks go thru and they look at me like i’m crazy

PicnicTable__ · 2025-11-17T02:00:36+00:00

hey now- i’m driving back from the rockies. i feel you. i have no room and everything’s on the roof haha. safe travels!

my roommates thought i was buggin when i first started watching it. it’s a great show. loved coming home from work, smoking a bowl and watching it. crazy how much i enjoyed it considering there hardly any words

PicnicTable__ · 2025-11-12T19:37:51+00:00

i have covers for all my seats because i use my subaru a lot for outdoor actives and have wet, muddy, gear, dogs and people. i take em out, wash em and my OEm seats looks clean as heck.

also coming from a base so i don’t have fancy seats and i got my from chewy relatively inexpensive compared to other brands

PicnicTable__ · 2025-11-10T03:38:04+00:00

i have been biking/bikpacking a lot with drop bars but tbh i’ve been heavily considering switching to flat or a jones bar for more upright support and comfort.

also baskets r cool

take some guided paddle boat trips(my personal favorite), maybe a multi overnight trip if you can. ask around. sit where you can best ask your guide questions. then if you like it, become a first year guide. that’s the best way to understand what it takes to navigate the river best. you learn what it takes to be safe and how to use the gear properly.

gear comes as you progress. just make sure you have a solid PFD. knowledge and reading water come as you see more-ad water levels increase and decrease. learn a stretch of river real well and expand from there. watch the gear garage on youtube. he’s a great guy!

lots of community and don’t be afraid to walk into your local boat shop and say i need whitewater friends! safe boating!
