I thought about loading a bike in my vehicle. I feel more comfortable on foot though. Also, haven’t figured a good way to travel at low ready on a bike.

Same with me...I'd rather travel on foot. But oy vey!...that's a long walk! Squantos had a GOOD point about the bike, and besides... my plan is to travel in the DARK and stay out of SIGHT during the day. At least that's my plan! My route is very rural and sparse and so at least in my case it's an option. If I "can" stay out of sight, I'd rather!

In truth...my other plan is to purchase a dirt bike with magneto ignition, or older breaker points and keep that in the back of the truck, rather than the bike. It would make more noise, but other routes would be more passable with powered transportation such as a dirt bike.

40 miles+ no matter what is quite something to think about... rain...bugs...potentially hostile people....lots of variables!
