love the music selection. Thank you.

[@StormKingExpedition]

Greatly appreciate the kind words. Thank you Richard.

[@MrVandammages]

great video! I did this on 2 wheels but now I want a jeep too :)

[@StormKingExpedition]

LOL! Thanks for the message. I on the other hand have had a terrible case of wanting to do this with two wheels on the brain. I miss riding! Maybe we plan a ride swap trip together for the spring?

[@vinboughton4751]

So Today We left our little piece of property in Summit NY and did a section of section 2 from Prattville up through burnt Rossman forest and loop back to rt. 30. Now where hooked and making plans to complete all of section 2. I must say the leaves are just about gone for the most part and ponds and creeks are very low.

[@vinboughton4751]

We're , sorry lol

[@StormKingExpedition]

Thanks for sharing @vinbroughton4751 I am definitely disappointed to hear that the leaves are gone already, but very happy to hear that your hooked. Definitely a good time and a nice mix of trails and roads. 👍

[@vinboughton4751]

@@StormKingExpedition I stand corrected, the majority of maple and ash leaves were off already. And definitely not as much color when you get below Burnt- Rossman forest area. Thanks again for great videos that helped get my butt on the trails!

[@StormKingExpedition]

@@vinboughton4751 Thank you for sharing. I enjoy nothing more than hearing that it got you out to explore. I need to get my butt out. I’m way past due. Cheers!

[@MrSliim280]

section 4 was the best of the whole route. youve gotta run that part

[@StormKingExpedition]

@MrSliim280 I am hoping to squeeze a trip in this fall to complete sections 4&5. I have heard great things about specifically section 4. Curious as well how 4 wheels will get down some of those trails? Appreciate you watching and subscribing. Enjoy your Fall.

Great content and thank you for your trail Maintenance.people like you are the ones truly helping this adv Community.

[@StormKingExpedition]

@sandorsamitches1623 Thank you! Honestly, leaving these areas better than you found it is usually the most enjoyable part of the trips. Appyyiir comments and views. Cheers to Spring 2024.

[@chalove22]

Excellent series. Watched all parts without any boredom. You provided education, awesome cinematography and Scout. Short and engaging scenes. Only disadvantage goes to the next one I might be watching if not as good as your presentation. Bravo. Glad you did this one and thank you.

[@StormKingExpedition]

Thank you for checking them out. I appreciate the compliments. Get out and explore.

[@outdoorobservations]

The closed gates are plentiful this time of year. But hey, at least you got out and enjoyed some beautiful country. Enjoyed the watch, as usual.

[@StormKingExpedition]

Getting out and finding the adventure is all that matters. A fork in the road is what I seek. Thanks for watching. Do you have anything coming soon?

[@outdoorobservations]

@@StormKingExpedition Hope to have something in the next couple of weeks. It’s been too long but work has been crazy lately.

[@jimbresnahan]

Hi John, great series. Thanks for documenting your overland travels in the northeast. As a fellow jeep overlander based in lower NY state, I know the struggle of finding dispersed camping around here. Subbed and will check out your other videos! Jim

[@StormKingExpedition]

Hi Jim, Greatly appreciate the comments and Views. I look forward to continuing to share more travels and meet ups in the months ahead. Stay in touch as the seasons change. Thanks again for the Subs and Subbed back. Going to check out your series this evening. Cheers, John

[@W2IRT]

WAAAAY too early in the season to do that route, unfortunately. Much of section 4 won't open until May 1st. As of the day I'm writing this (Friday, March 22, 2024) central VT is looking at between 10 and 24" of new snow this coming weekend.

[@StormKingExpedition]

@W2IRT I hear ya! Ugh! On the snow. I fully expected closures in the winter, but was a little surprised of so many with gates. In NY they would occasionally have a sign, but no gates. I still got in my little adventure. I cannot wait until May! Thanks for watching and hope to maybe see you out on the trails.

[@W2IRT]

@@StormKingExpedition Planning on doing sections 1-5 this spring or early summer as time/weather allow. Note that there are a couple of sections of the BDR in NH and VT that are closed to full-sized vehicles.

[@StormKingExpedition]

Much appreciated. I did hear that and appreciate any detour suggestions.

[@castironbackroads1447]

Another great video, John! As frustrating as those gates were, clearing the tree was good of you. Will you explore more in the closed-off area after the season "begins"? Thanks for bringing us along. I look forward to further adventures!

[@StormKingExpedition]

Thanks Ken. Appreciate you watching. I fully expect to head back in May as many people have recommended with the state trail gates closed until May 1. I hope to share some other trips, that I unfortunately don’t have planned yet. More to explore. 😎

[@EverythingOutdoorsAndJeeps]

Wow great discovery! I have been looking for overlanding routes and this one starts right outside of where I live “Binghamton NY”. Thanks for posting this. If interested I would highly recommend Bald Eagle State Forest for great overlanding and Jeep camping.

[@StormKingExpedition]

@everythingoutdoorsandjeeps Thanks for watching and subscribing. These trails are a lot of fun and honestly not that difficult. Truly makes for a great adventure as the Spring Leaves and green grass start to bloom. Appreciate you also sharing the Bald Eagle State Forest recommendation. I see this is also not to far from one of my PA favorites at Boulder Field State Park. TY, I am always looking for a new discovery. Enjoy the ride. JK

[@imspartacvs]

Great stuff Sucks hitting gates

[@StormKingExpedition]

I had it coming, but I still enjoyed the little trip. I will be waiting until May before I start section 4. Thanks for watching.

[@pl5861]

Thumb down for promoting a motorcycle route to 4 wheelers. These routes are created by motorcyclists 4 motorcyclists

[@StormKingExpedition]

@pl5861 I as a fellow 2 wheeler understand your thoughts, but the fact is that 99.9% of the route is public roads designed for both 2 as well as 4 wheels. When you live in the NE US, you have slim pickings to begin with, it’s nice to know we have something. This route was more 4 wheels before it became a BDR and many of the communities that are along this route desperately can use some additional tourism. I am simply promoting the opportunity to explore.

[@gonzalosuarez9212]

Agree, these are public roads... not exclusive to motorcyclists...
