We all have our bug out locations picked out, as well as our bug out vehicles... but what route are you going to take from point A to point B, or point C?

What happens if your first choice is not available (hordes of people along the interstates and secondary roads)? Do you have a plan B, C, or D? A buddy in my Mag group and I were discussing this the other day, and came up with three alternatives:
hydro lines, rail lines and pipelines.

Unfortunately for hydrolines, for the most part they are right beside, or within site of the highways, so they may be as congested as the roads, and may be inaccessable to all but decent 4x4's and off road vehicles.

Rail lines have the same issue, in that they are close to the roads, and as one who has driven cars, trucks, bikes and snowmobiles down a rail line, not too much fun.

Pipelines tend to be tucked away a little further, out of the public eye, but they can make for an extremely rustic experience. As where roads, rails and hydro either skirt lakes and rivers, or bridge over them, pipelines will go straight across along the bottom; so in addition to a way to move your gear and selves, if you chose this manner, you would also have to traverse water (assuming it is not frozen solid)

thoughts?
