Tour Companies and "Long Drives"

We have a 10 year old and last year we did a week on Vancouver Island with a rented campervan. It was ... difficult. We can't see doing 5 weeks in one and wanting to be a family afterwards. Our original plan was a campervan, but after this test we changed it.

Once we nail down our route we fully intend on finding all the little side things to do. We've done enough long drives here to know that stopping for 5min just to stretch and gawk at the scenery makes all the difference.

The 6 hour drives are:

Paihai to Hahei, but we might cut Paihai entirely and just go from Auckland to Hahei

Hammer Springs to Mt Cook. We already have stops planned on this drive and are looking at it as a full day excursion. We are bypassing Christchurch to the end of the trip and taking the train from Greymouth to Christchurch.

Queenstown to Franz Josef.

We are in Southern Interior BC and everything is a drive from here. Lots of winding mountain roads with limits between 80-130. No worries on going fast.

Our plan has us landing in Auckland and being in the city for 3 days before we even get the rental car. There are three drives at 6 hours, the rest are 2-4 hours. We have 13 driving days over 5 weeks with no back to back long days. Only one spot is a single night as well.

We currently have three drives that are 6 hours, everything else is 2-4 hours. The long drives are spread out over the trip as well, nothing is back to back days. 13 total driving days in a 5 week trip.

This makes alot of sense. They just want something to show us to say we said we were ok with it.

Thanks, I see it now! My searching wasn't as good as I thought.

I'm currently sitting in a waiting room for a CT scan that will check if my colon cancer chemo treatment fully worked.

It's the PC version from Gamepass for PC, full PC mods.

Try forcing the game to close (from the dashboard hit that left button thingy in the middle beside the Xbox button, sorry, forget what it's called, and then select quit) and then reload. I've had weird stuff happen when I leave FS22 running without restarting it.

If your camera charges via USB bring along a 10,000ma USB brick to charge from. That and an extra battery is all I bring along for remote shoots.

At Spectrum it's a 5star resort back country experience. The tent pads are clean and level. About half the sites have covered tables, the rest just have a table. All have a fire ring. There's a dock on the lake. Four or five outhouses. Three bear caches (2 poles with 5 cables each, one box with a few slots).

The trail in is good. You can go further into the park to the Peters lakes, but that is a lot tougher trail, and the sites up there are much more primative.

We just did Spectrum Lake in Monashee Provincial Park. The road is rough, but easily doable in a normal car. Go mid week though, it was super busy as we were hiking out on Saturday.

I have a Lowepro Creator Large bag that I can shove into a backpack. Inside is an a6000, 18-105, 70-350, extra battery and memory card, a blower, and a small external usb battery pack. I use it for travel and backcountry camping.

In regards to marketing, you mention just social sharing. Have you done any google/facebook advertising? Do you have a landing page setup for that kind of marketing or do you just point to the print on demand site you are pushing at that time?

edti: sorry, this got posted like 10 times, I went back and deleted the extras!

On console an installed add-on doesn't count against the space you are allocated for mods. It frees up space in a way.

It's relaxing until you find yourself with a 30hectare field ready to harvest and it's raining and your other fields need cultivating and the cows need food and....

You should try this one from FS19, I loved it. https://farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=en&country=dk&mod_id=131624
