<– Day 1: Newfoundland 2019 (Or Rust) | Day 3 August 4th: Maine’ly Driving Late –>

The Ingram’s and Ogles won the Newfoundland 2019 (Or Rust) trip yesterday by reaching Newfoundland first on Saturday. The problem is, they reached the wrong Newfoundland … I don’t know how they found it, but apparently there’s a Newfoundland, Pennsylvania. Those folks from Paris (Paris, Illinois), weren’t messing around! Well played folks!

After celebrating their achievement, they left for Monticello, New York, where they joined most of the rest of the crew for the first group camp. Below we have Bill’s CJ-5 and trailer from Alaska Or Rust 2017.

Once their sleeping quarters were setup, they all gathered to talk over important matters and news events of the day …. naw, just kidding. Clearly they were just having fun, though I can’t say for sure what is happening in this next photo. I don’t remember this greeting from Alaska Or Rust?

I’ve learned that the group plans on working its way north on Sunday, hoping to reach a camping spot near Portland, Maine. How they plan to drive it is still a mystery to me, so I’ve taken a wild guess with the map below.

One possible route the group might take to reach Portland. I know they plan on going through VT and driving along highway 202.

    Chuck: He could just throw on one or two from his trailer (That trailer obviously doesn’t need duallies).

    THAT DUALLY CJ5 BETTER BE A V6 ?? — CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT RIG WITH A F4 134 ?? — HAHAHAHA ?? — HALF OF THE POWER WOULD BE SAPPED IN THOSE TIRES !!

    ku ku ku KUBOTA ?? — I just read the overland diesel website — VERY INTERESTING — but they are only 75 hp ?? — probably lots of torque — and perkins diesel jeeps are few and far between ,,,
