<– Day 1: Newfoundland 2019 (Or Rust) | Day 3 August 4th: Maine’ly Driving Late –>

The Ingram’s and Ogles won the Newfoundland 2019 (Or Rust) trip yesterday by reaching Newfoundland first on Saturday. The problem is, they reached the wrong Newfoundland … I don’t know how they found it, but apparently there’s a Newfoundland, Pennsylvania. Those folks from Paris (Paris, Illinois), weren’t messing around! Well played folks!

After celebrating their achievement, they left for Monticello, New York, where they joined most of the rest of the crew for the first group camp. Below we have Bill’s CJ-5 and trailer from Alaska Or Rust 2017.

Jim and ‘Kelvin’ will be bunking in Jim’s new camo-palace.

Joe’s tent is the same setup he used for Alaska Or Rust.

Russ has got himself a new trailer, with his rebuilt wagon well tested on the drive up to Monticello.

The Ingram’s have brought their mini trailer along with their cool new Rubicon Gladiator. 

And the Ogles have their Geo-Pro camper, which sounds pretty high tech for a Cowboy!

Merlin will only joining the crew for a few days of the trip; he’ll be tenting it as he did for Alaska Or Rust.

Once their sleeping quarters were setup, they all gathered to talk over important matters and news events of the day …. naw, just kidding. Clearly they were just having fun, though I can’t say for sure what is happening in this next photo. I don’t remember this greeting from Alaska Or Rust?

A few more random photos from camp:

I’ve learned that the group plans on working its way north on Sunday, hoping to reach a camping spot near Portland, Maine. How they plan to drive it is still a mystery to me, so I’ve taken a wild guess with the map below.

One possible route the group might take to reach Portland. I know they plan on going through VT and driving along highway 202.
