Land Between the Lakes Overland Adventure 2021 part 1

[@chuckpayne4511]

I wondered around LBL for 17 years. Good to know people still enjoy its beauty. I haven't seen that place in 12 years. I miss being in the woods with minimal equipment to survive for weeks if not months at a time. One with nature is one with god.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

LBL is a beautiful area for sure.

[@dscottpoe4882]

Am I the only one who wants the "Coddiwomple Overland Recipe Book?" Some of the meals you all prepare look so dang good!!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You are not the only one! Deb is working on it! Thanks for watching

[@tabathabuck2441]

I said the same thing!

[@TI14928]

The power wagon is going sideways like a crab on the beach 😆 🤣

[@JoshuaMuse]

I miss it out there. I grew up in Marshall Co. Used to go camping out there all the time.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It's a great place

[@jjpea]

That's awesome to see another big body out in the woods. When I had my RAM in the United Kingdom, I got a ton of stares from all the guys in their Land Rovers. Many were surprised at how capable the big truck is. Would like to hit up some trails with you all some time!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Anytime we love to have new people come along.

[@DCMO60]

I’ve officially joined the Jeep family. Just bought a 09 Wrangler Unlimited 4dr. It has a 4” lift with 35’s on it with great after market bumpers front and rear. I just need to add a decent winch and I’ll be ready. Love the thing already. Keep the great videos coming. Love your content.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you and welcome to the Jeep family!

[@MrWildcatOutdoorAdventures]

That clay gets pretty slick, the mud holes are getting bigger every year. I love how you narrate during the videos!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you!

[@senrusho]

I live very close by, and do quite a few nights in LBL. I've only gotten Persimmon beach one time...in November...

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes and since they graded the road it's even harder.

[@ld2821]

Same thing happen to me with my PW Winch the plug came undone but had to be taken apart plug now exposed and zip tired. But I leaned quickly pull out cable and rewind winch just to use it at least twice a month more if getting it muddy and wet. Less problem on the trail then. A lot of Winches never get used and then Seize up. Happy trails

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Lessons learned for sure

[@garrybegoon5129]

😁 Not sure glad you found it.

You always find such beautiful camping spots! It is so nice to just stop and enjoy the beauty! That trail was a little bit rugged, huh? 😃 Great adventure guys!!

Yea it was a little rough for sure! Thank you so much for watching

[@TerryX2Explore]

@@CoddiwompleOverland You are very welcome!

[@bigg2768]

Really enjoyed ur vid. Love that area and have wheeled there many times. Have learned, over time, the best mud wheelin is WATCHING someone else take their rig through it. If ya give two hoots about maintenance, it’s such a complete PITA to clean up afterwards 😂. Yes, I’m getting old. 😉

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks and I agree with ya!

We’re in Greenville SC , we have a PW and love wheeling. Planing trip to Moab UT. We can’t find people that want to explore. There are jeep clubs but have to have jeep can’t find just a club or people thT just want to explore. If you want someone to explore with give us a shout.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Sounds like a plan!

[@aMAYSingLife]

We may have provided you entertainment as i only have 34” tires on.. would have been interesting to see if it made it through. I’m sure you would have filmed me getting stuck, right? Lol

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You would have been fine! Hope you have a great trip to Oregon!

[@immelting9834]

I'm on 32's on a Jeep wj 3.73 gears 3.5 long arm lift. No problems. I do have a LSD in the front axle tho (Powertrax grip pro ) .

[@immelting9834]

Pro tip : go to where not a lot of people go. Reason being, over the years I've noticed that the well ridden trails are getting deeper and deeper over the years. What I mean is the " ruts " in the ground. This causes jeepers to go bigger tires and taller lifts just to go through what was possible with a stock set up years ago. Sad part about that too is , it pushes budget builders out of some nice wheeling trips. Just my 2 cents.

[@JPSnyder1985]

I would like to see you add GPS Coordinates to some of your campsites in the video descriptions instead of just all affiliate links. Would go a long way for followers.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for the feed back. We will keep that in mind.

Great video! Are the 300 roads in the Turkey Bay Area? Was out there a couple of weeks ago and didn’t see those. Thanks!

We have the en-suite double and have been waiting on our shower from them for months.. its got stuck in CA on the ship and we are hoping it gets to us before I leave for Oregon.

We got our en suite double in on Thursday. Hope you get your shower system soon. It is awesome!

@@CoddiwompleOverland the en-suite must be shipping local but the shower was coming from Australia. There was the problem.. got stuck on a container..

[@brianball9514]

My dad and I were just down there I’ve the weekend. We used the camp spot just up from persimmon beach. How do you distinguish the 100, 200, and 300 level trails? We were just kinda on the trail that the front bumper lead us to.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

100 trails are in Kentucky, 200s are in Tennessee. Both are atleast fairly well maintained. 300 roads are less maintained and are definitely rougher. You can find the routes on the MVUM.

[@rebel62780]

What area was the 357 trail? We ride up there some but I’ve never seen that one. Looks like fun

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

South west. It is a forest service road. It's not in Turkey Bay

[@rebel62780]

@@CoddiwompleOverland thanks. We are going back in a couple weeks. We are always looking for more mud holes

Better yet test the winch each time before you head out on an adventure.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

That's a good idea! Thanks for watching! - Kelly

[@kentw.phillips5748]

any provision for "staking in" those traction boards? or maybe tying them off to a tree further ahead??

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

That could have possibly worked

[@overlandadventures6763]

Thanks for all the great videos. My wife and I are thinking of making a trip to Land between the Lakes between Christmas and New Year. We’ll be there in a Jeep Wrangler and a 4Runner. Do you think the trails will be passable this time of the year or would we be wasting our time. Thanks

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We have only been there in July. We are not sure how the trail conditions would be in December. You may want to look up the Penny Rile Jeep Club. They are on Facebook super great group from the area.

[@tabathabuck2441]

What is the recipe for noodle and sauce you made?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We call it crock pot pizza at home as we make it in the crock pot. On the trail, we call it kettle pizza. Cook spiral noodles and set aside. In separate pan, add a layer of pizza or spaghetti sauce and noodles. Then, add a layer of your favorite pizza toppings. More sauce and cheese then repeat layering. Heat till hot. ~Deb
