I did eyeball that foot trail across for more than a moment.

I'm assuming the truck turned at a logging road to go camping; I never saw him again.

I had some natural hypermiling since it was steep uphill and downhill roads. Some roads were gravel, so that didn't help. I regened about 10 miles of EV range and kept that in reserve just in case I ran out of fuel. I've rolled into petrol stations after running out of fuel and having only 1 mile of EV range left. Then there is the time I ran out of both with just half a mile to go.
