I'm pretty flexible with regards to exact start dates and fully supported/ self-contained. Thanks for your help!
Hi Katty,
I'm flying into Vancouver 16/06/08 and will cycle across the border to the States on the 21/06/08. From there I will head down to Astoria to begin the Trans Am unsupported/self-contained. I'm undecided about whether to fully complete the Trans Am (I may join the Underground Railway route to PA) as I only have three months to do the trip and I'm flying back to Australia from New York.
Jamawani, have you got any advice?? Complete Trans Am and bus to New York or cut up to Northern Tier?
Anyway Katty, this will be earlier than your travel plans but I'm sure you will meet others on the road.
Is there anyone else starting the Trans Am late June???
