Planning on doing some of the XVT this summer. It is a 95% off road bikepacking route the length of Vermont. Stashing the car at my brother in laws near Greenfield MA. 50 miles of dirt road/pave gets me into the Green Mt Nat. Forest, bikes are allowed on the forest service roads there. 2 more days get me up to Wallingford. Some remote stuff, will hang bear bag away from camp and use some kind of water fliter/purifier. Need to plan out food supply form the general stores in the area. 4-5 days total. Sort of running out of stuff closest to Boston. ME next year I think.
