I have been enjoying your bicycle trip videos for a few weeks now. I did some bicycle camping 24 years ago when I was first retired at 57 years of age. I camped about five time along my route from the mouth of the Santa Ana River not far from my home, to the mouth of the Connecticut river, not far from where I was born. That's right, the whole country diagonally coast to coast, solo. Needless to say all my other camping was in motel rooms, or staying with friends and relatives along the way. The entire trip was about 2.5 months starting in May and did include some rather hot days. Arizona was the hottest, but the least comfortable was over 90F in the sweltering humidity of Upstate New York. I should mention that unlike your "beater cargo bike" that I do commend you for building and maintaining, I had my own modified version of a streamlined recumbent based on the Lightning Cycle Dynamics F-40. I am friends with the guy who builds them, but did buy only his frame kit. As you have done, I built my own wheels, and carrying 45 pounds of camping gear on a 45 lb. bicycle I chose to make the back wheel from a tandem rim and spokes. The routine on that trip when I finished an average of 57 miles for the day, was to ask for a room on ground floor, but at the top of the 7600 ft altitude New Mexico pass to Ruidoso, they had a split level, so I had to hoist that 90 lb. load down 5 steps. Next day was down hill to Roswell, and I spent two days since there was an aerospace museum honoring Robert Goddard inside their History museum. I left the UFO museum to the tourists who want to believe that aliens would even bother with this minor planet, or even exist contemporarily within living range of us. Happy cycling to you and your buddies.
