I live here. My H2, never changes gears. Do 7 rivers road. .... You'll need some height for that. I nearly sunk a 93 GMC with a 6in lift on 37s. Water over the hood. I haven't been back up there, nor do even if I know people are allowed, in over 15 years. Road ends up in Clayton, but starts in Helen, Batesville area. Its, rather gnarly. More so than this. Like most good trails these days, It's probably shut down.

That's hilarious. I was looking for videos on routs for dual sports and came across yours. When you talk about the tnga at the beginning I ride by. I was the second bike. The red Canyon. I'm watching and I didn't recognize at first but I'm like huh thats really similar to the setup I ran. So I back it up and and I 'm like wait that's me. lol. Lots of beautiful country up there. That race was super tough with all the rain though.

I went up there Sunday the 16th and was bummed that I couldn’t get to do Sarah’s creek. We got across the river and in that first turn after to climb a grand Cherokee on highway tread was buried to the left and my ram 2500 is too big in stock suspension to slide to the right of it. That’s a great trail and like you said I hope it does not get closed due to all the traffic.

@mtboverland3 жыл бұрын
If you are touring, camping and hiking it’s gonna take a good 4 days to really enjoy everything. But with limited stops it could probably be done in 2. There are lots of places to stop along the way to hike or just enjoy looking around. I suggest late April or may. The forest is so beautiful as it greens up

I’ve wanted to do this. I have an 03 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer edition. Has 4 high, 4 low. Used to take it on the beaches in NY. Other than falken wild peak A/T tires, a light bar and a bunch of rust from Northern driving it’s stock. How do you think it would fair? I’d air down to 15psi for the beach. How do you know when to air down over landing? Is there a set psi you should just go to once off road to avoid punctures? Thanks for the video.
@mtboverland3 жыл бұрын
Your expedition would be fine on 95% of the Georgia traverse. There are some sections that are a little worse than others. But as long as you don’t mind rubbing the bottom you should be fine. As for airing down on the traverse it’s mostly for comfort. I usually run about 20 on the traverse. If I go to an off-road park I’ll drop it to around 15.

@mtboverland3 жыл бұрын
It has to do with overuse, Charlie’s creek rd is just a forest service road, people treat it as if it’s an off road park. They go off of the main road and create alt lines on private property and ride when conditions are wet and muddy further tearing up the road. It’s a beautiful road that is just getting over used at the moment

@@mtboverland ok and again I’m a newbie. I have to say I did take one of the alt routes😬. I’m going to plead ignorance as I had seen others that did it I thought it was what you do🤷♂️. I don’t like mud bogging though and try not to spin. Even with the crappy tires I have I don’t really spin. I just like exploring. Also I’m a previous MTB’r who will be getting back into it now that my littles are interested, so that has helped. I’m just trying to learn proper overland etiquette. That’s pretty much it, oh and your videos are awesome, I took my little Cretans to Charlie’s creek and tray mt this past weekend and they loved it. Such a blessing. Happy trails my friend.

Completely understand sometimes it’s hard to know the legit roads anymore. Usually official roads will be marked with a number. If you see a off shoot that just short cuts the road it’s probably not legit. There are a lot of short off shoots that just lead to camping spots. Sometimes I’ll just pull the bike off the back and take a quick spin to check out a road. And in most cases you can ride your bike on closed roads, so it opens up the chance to explore.
