      Unfortunately just had ACL knee surgery, and Wifey is at 9 months pregnancy so it’s going to be slow for a while. But I have a Utah Grand Circle adventure we did that past summer I still have to edit. And we are going camping in the Florida Keys to do snorkeling in March timeframe. Thanks for watching!

    This is phenomenal!! My husband (american) and I love cycling, we did our first interstate trip from Vienna to Bratislava, about 70km and slept over in a hotel. It was our first time carrying all our bags on bike. I really enjoyed it and my husband always tells me when we'll have kids we'll just take them with us.. I never thought that would be possible. But your videos are such an encouragement and it looks manageable :)

    • @Famvestor
      @Famvestor  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The website does show campsite, unfortunately on the leg we took near NYC there is only one official campground. But you can always camp along the Appalachian trail.

    • @Famvestor

      Yea do it! that section of the empire trail is almost all dedicated bike paths, maybe 5% of it was roadside.

    YOU ARE ROCK STARS ! I want to do that from Buffalo to Manhattan. Is camping a lot cheaper then cabils/hotels or motels ?

    • @Famvestor
      @Famvestor  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea I hope to do that too some-day. Well, camping was free for us since we just camped at the side of the trail, but I imagine it would be even if you paid for a campground, but definitely a lot more weight on the bike.

      So that was my brothers kid, so didn’t record too much of him, but you can check out my brothers video here: th-cam.com/video/0sV8UbEsusg/w-d-xo.html
      He was on a wee ride front mount though. You should check out my latest bike trip video where we take our 10-month old on a 50mile bike adventure, using a trailer and Thule Yelp Next Mini front mount.

      We didn’t get in trouble… but we did setup the tent really late in the rain and found a pretty secluded spot. Pretty sure your not supposed to though.
      I think the only place you would be allowed to technically setup a tent is along the Appalachian trail which bisects the trail in a couple places.
