Todd,
Those links you gave are invaluable. Thanks for your contributions, and I look forward to your trip reports.
Two things are holding me back from following your lead. One is the "quart of milk" issue. After you've settled in your campsite, opened up the awning, and put on dinner, you discover you need a quart of milk. What's your solution? I don't think bikes will get you to the nearest store in many cases.
The other is the Gulfstream BT Cruiser. One poster had horrible issues with it, but I'm thinking (hoping) she got a one-time lemon. I like the look and layout of the BTC 5211 interior and have this feeling it's more solidly built. Did you look at it and make a comparison?
