I would think a minivan would be able to make it a kilometre or two before something damages it. Or upturns it. With 8 adults plus gear, there would be a lot of people without seatbelts on. With getting Eugene to Washington safely the top priority, proceeding on foot it the safer course of action.
Plus now you have a means of escape that is within a day's travel if you have to get out; and could also be outside of whatever monitoring the people at Terminus may have setup.
Regarding the unlocked gates; could part of the reason be that they are far enough inside that the zombies don't notice them? With the first gate just being chained but not locked, could that be enough to just keep zombies from stumbling in?
