New User Looking for help
I have two working nodes built on NanoStation M2N units. They check out fine, I also have a managed switch available. My desire was to deeply these and use a tunnel to link to other nodes. Looking at your map, there is another node about 7 miles away that I might be able to see, but otherwise i am an island. 
I got back into Ham Radio now I am in semi retirement with the specific aim of looking into mesh radio. I have a strong career in digital communications and this seems a good fit. 
This site and the docs has got me so far, but I need to reach out to get the addresses and codes to create the tunnel and become part of the net. Seems there is no defined process i have found for this, hence this post. 
My call is KD2QIP located in NJ at Lat 40.774800 Long -74.17824 nearest operating node seems to be N2MH other than driving to his address cannot find an e-mail or phone number for him and he is never on his repeater. 
So anybody in my area prepared to help out?

We have been in touch via email. Now looking to see if we have a path. Randy, thanks for setting him up with a tunnel.

I am not too far away, center of Staten Island. let me get some gear set up. I was using a Raspberry Pi in the past, I'll get another one. I have a big 2.4 ghz omni antenna I can put of the roof but I pretty much have line of sight to you getting a yagi might be best though. heck we could probably do uhf/vhf simplex too.

Tunnel connections
Yes - a local RF connection is not required to setup a tunnel connection. They are independent links.
