i am especially interested in my estimate of the cost of land travel if/when TSHTF.
Maybe a good visual model might be The Walking Dead on the AMC channel.
This is one reason why I am leaning towards considering $6.33/mile over mixed land and rivers as possibly too high.
From San Francisco to Vancouver I would have to navigate the following crossings:
Golden Gate
Russian River
Humboldt River
Umpqua River
Siuslaw River
Yaquina Bay
Siletz River
Nestucca River
Trask River
Wilson River
Nehalem River
Columbia River
Willapa River
Chehalis River
Quinault River
Queets River
Hoh River
Bogachiel River
Elwha River
Skomish River
Puyallup River
Lake Union
Snohomish River
Stillaguamish River
Skagit River
Nooksack River
... to the canadian border. that is about 26 major water crossings.
if all the bridges were knocked out or toll-controlled and presuming land travel was cheap enough to be negligible, that works out to be about $6000/26 = $230 per water crossing
I missed a few rivers in California
Golden Gate
Russian River
Eel River
Klamath River
Smith Creek
Umpqua River
Siuslaw River
Yaquina Bay
Siletz River
Nestucca River
Trask River
Wilson River
Nehalem River
Columbia River
Willapa River
Chehalis River
Quinault River
Queets River
Hoh River
Bogachiel River
Elwha River
Skomish River
Puyallup River
Lake Union
Snohomish River
Stillaguamish River
Skagit River
Nooksack River
... to the canadian border. that is about 28 major water crossings.
if all the bridges were knocked out or toll-controlled and presuming land travel was cheap enough to be negligible, that works out to be about $6000/8 = $214 per water crossing
