  • Come along with us as we take an epic overland adventure along the South Carolina Adventure Route. The South Carolina Adventure Route (also known as THE SCAR) loops through approximately
    1,100 miles of rural South Carolina. It includes mountains,
    ocean, forests, countrysides, state parks, historical sites, and quaint
    towns--all on a mix of pavement, sand, mud, dirt, and gravel.

    You mention a couple of times the Cruiser has a v8…unless it’s a swap it’s an inline 6. And it honestly doesn’t sound like a V8.

    With the rise in popularity of off-roading, trails and even public lands all over the country are being closed to vehicle traffic. The culprits are not HOAs, Karens, or nosy seniors. It’s morons that tear up trails, destroy neighboring land off trail, and leave garbage everywhere. I blame UA-camrs and IG. Social media has brought out the worst in us.

I've pulled the SCAR map file and loaded in on Gaia but we haven't had much time to do anything other than short day trips (no camping gear yet due to the shipping mess from South Korea to US).

    • @SimplyMustGo
      @SimplyMustGo  8 місяців тому

      You don’t. We bring a few extra gallons in rotopax, but that’s just for emergencies. There are plenty of gas stations as you travel around the state that aren’t far off the route. A lot of route isn’t in the woods either, it’s through rural towns that also have gas stations. We just plan on getting gas every 250 miles or every other day. Whichever works best.
