Overlanding and Free campsites around Mt. Rogers Recreation Area - Combers Falls, Scales and more.

[@joycefranklin8981]

I have followed you since you were in NY. In fact I spent a couple of weeks there in Tupper Lake last September, had planned to stay longer but couldn't camp without an advanced reservation! I had camped there before with no problem. So had to cut my vacation short, motels are not the same! I really enjoyed your video. Have stayed and visited that area 3-4 times. After seeing your pictures of Hurricane campground wish I had checked it out. Would have loved it I can tell. At 84 my hiking days are pretty much over but enjoy watching others. (In the Adirondacks I was able to walk quite a distance through the woods using my wheeled walker. It was amazing!) I still hope to camp at least once or twice in my minivan this year. The biggest drawback for me is the extreme heat and humidity. Guess I will have to wait until Fall. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much! Enjoy watching Akela. Really do miss "the Boys" though. Take Care.

Thanks Joyce, I appreciate your support and recognize you as a long time viewer. I'll be back in NY in Oct for the 1st Grandchild. May travel up into the ADK. But I have a tight schedule from Oct-March. Heading west for the winter to explore. Thanks Again

Were there any good camping spots (if you are in a van) at an AT crossing by chance? Or was that last spot right off the trail? Fabulous droneage

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

If you’re at an AT crossing, most likely it’s illegal to camp overnight. Though if you’re in a van they might not notice that you’re just in the parking area. But there are lots of places close by the trail. Just look for a forest service road nearby. Most forest service roads any car can get up.

Very pretty🐾🐾🐾💓

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thank you very much!

[@LoveMtDulcimerMusic]

Your opening made me think of the song, “Oh What a Beautiful Morning, Oh What a Beautiful Day.” Those waterfalls are gorgeous. Glad you didn’t get hurt at the bridge!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

The bridge didn't look that bad, but I suppose a bunch of hikers with packs might test it. They should just place a support under the middle until they can make a permanent fix. Stay Safe!

[@carolmiller5947]

I'm impressed! Driving and droning

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

The drone is so programmable to follow.... I really should use it much more!

[@ujohansson65]

Very Nice

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks for coming, I am planning a trip to the Osarks, Maybe October! Thanks for the comment !

[@phillipmorris1334]

@@GoingNoWhereFast keep in touch and ill meet up with you

[@JimHayesHiking]

Nice drone footage from above the scales. There's a ton of loop hikes you can do from out of there.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

I NOW know that, wish I understood what I was getting into BEFORE I drove up that road. We got up there too late and weren't prepared. It would have been a fun day to explore around and play with the drone up there.

[@ATravelingAddictSolo]

If I walked through weeds like that here in NC, I'd be covered in chiggars and ticks! I thought the bridge broke with you there for a second!!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Virginia is worse than NC, We spray our clothes with permetherins, it works wonders keeping the pest off me and the dog !

[@underdog8896]

A Traveling Addict “chiggars and ticks” oh my!

[@linguistlove]

Wow! That sure was a cool spot on top! You have some wonderful places to explore! I sure love your drone shots and course seeing your dog play! Thanks for sharing. Kat

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Glad you enjoyed it. Its as much fun for me as it is for him !! LOL.

[@meinschatzi8978]

I am glad you were able to get out to a beautiful place on this trip! Beautiful spot and friendly camping - you struck gold, Hopefully trailer was good for the big weekend.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Trailer is GREAT! We had a fun weekend. It was much needed and totally what we wanted. Thanks for stopping by !

[@underdog8896]

Disney,s Log Flume ride

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

YA !!! I think Akela Would like it... eventually!

[@pamelabell5084]

Do you ever worry about snakes around the pup ?

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Not really, I do worry about the snake around the boys. Dakota has avoided being stuck by several snakes, Caesar on the other hand has done damage to several, Akela is very agile and has "flown" out of the way of several scary things, but has never bothered to investigate a snake. Akela is a very unique animal. He isn't interested in squirrels, or birds. Our vet has said that most dogs that get snake bite recover without too much issue, just dose with benadryl and antihistamines.

[@pamelabell5084]

Going NoWhereFast that is good I have one that hunts lizards and I live in Florida which I have had 5 snakes come in the house through the doggie door

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

@@pamelabell5084 Do they also go out through the doggie door? My Brothers Cockerspaniel will starve to death waiting for a Lizard to reappear from its hiding place...LOL

[@pamelabell5084]

Going NoWhereFast I have one that will do that too - if only we humans were so persistent

[@pamelabell5084]

Going NoWhereFast they come in they go out in a body bag

[@aliiiiXD]

Love the video!! I found this video while trying to get a better idea of the drive up to scales campsites. This road that you took, is it pretty do-able for a big pickup truck? My dad and I are planning on making a trip here but he is worried that the road my be rough on his vehicle (its a lease so he has to be a little careful with it) Beautiful drone footage!!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

I think if the truck is a well loved child, I might not take it up. It is very rocky! There were only one or two places where it MIGHT scrap the underside of a regular truck. If he has any height he should be fine, but it is a full 40 minute drive up hill at 10mph. If your going to stay at the top, its well worth it. I plan on doing it. I drove my 4 runner up there and it is totally stock SR5.
