In the last video, we make the rarely attempted trip to Estcourt Station ME, the northernmost point of Maine. We travel through the very remote Western North Maine Woods. Turns out getting back is the hard part. washout after washout causes us to use our auxiliary fuel and pray we find a gas station before we burn up everything we have and get standed with no traffic and no cell service.

I've always been fascinated with boundaries and loved your videos about Escourt Station. I'm a fan now of your channel now as I can live vicariously through your off road adventures. Thanks for posting these!

Some advice if you find yourself in the NMW. 1. Don't bother with trying to use online maps. There is almost zero cell coverage. I like OsmAnd, you can add the NMW check points and camp sights to it and it costs way less than OnX. When you go through the check point they have paper maps get one and know how to use it. Its a good reason to plan a route that goes through a check point. 2. Bring way more fuel than you think you need. I usually go for 4 days and bring 10 gal with me. 3. The grassy roads are roads they just aren't logging in the area enough to kill the grass.

I took my diesel 4x4 pick up truck up through there north Maine woods inc from jackman all the way up through to Allagash, But my tank was full of diesel 35 gallons And my 100 gallon transfer tank in my truck body was filled with 100 gallons of diesel fuel so we were not going to run out of fuel

I enjoyed your trip through the Maine woods. It has been about 40 years since we did that trip. The biggest obstacle for us were fast moving pulp trucks, and flat tires. We got two at once from sharp gravel. I don't remember how we made contact, but some gas station guy drove out for hours with two used tires and rims and practically gave them to us for free.

@loganpartyof4runner 3 месяца назад
That was very fortunate that you found help! I was warned about the possibilities of flats. I had two spares and a tire patch kit and air compressor, so I felt fairly prepaired, but fortunately our 10ply BFG KO2S held up with no issues!

As i said in the other vid, These roads up here can be very deceiving and things can go south quickly. i enjoy my summers up there fishing at camp and traveling up to Estcourt. (i live in southern Maine) Glad to see everything went smoothly! i subscribed

@@loganpartyof4runner I wasn't thinking so much about filling it in completely as much as leveling out the dip and covering the culvert. Enough so to get over. Maybe unrealistic. I don't know.

The last time I went all the way to Estcourt Station (5 years ago), there was a little store with gas on the US side. Is that gone now?
@loganpartyof4runner
@loganpartyof4runner 3 месяца назад
The only gas station I saw was the Gulf station shown in the video, and it looked to have been closed down for a long time.

Couldn't you have crossed at the customs station and fueled up in the Canadian village?
@loganpartyof4runner
@loganpartyof4runner 3 месяца назад
It would have been very easy from a physical standpoint, but we don't have passports, and I have heard they take illegal border crossing very seriously. I didn't want to risk legal trouble up there. Also, the customs station was closed, so there was no one to ask if that was a possibility without repercussions.
@vthike
@vthike 3 месяца назад
@@loganpartyof4runner I didn't realize the border station was closed, and would never suggest to cross illegally. I have an enhanced drivers license which works like a passport for border crossing. I have used it for crossing while riding northern bike paths and don't need to carry my passport. Thanks for the great video.
