[@angelmaldonado7967]

Getting a new truck once I get to Tennessee. I definitely want to drive some of those trails.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It's a great area.

[@NCTraveller]

well narrated and enjoyable. I travel through this area several times each year, and always enjoy another trip. thanks for sharing.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you.

[@jamesmaltba5678]

Probably the best representation of this area that I have seen! Thank You for driving it, editing it, and posting it. Would love to meet up with you all one day and do a little Jeeping.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you for the compliment! We certainly enjoyed all of it. Where are you located?

[@MrWildcatOutdoorAdventures]

WOW! I need to travel that route, it is beautiful!!!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes it is!

[@Triggin1]

my favorite part of the state, Linville Gorge and Wilson Creek areas... so epic!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

That are indeed! Thanks for watching!

[@arneservatius8686]

You are in booger country. We have a family of boogers on the farm. . When I was a young man (74) now we had a 5ft juvenile booger walk into our deer camp begging. We gave him a steak off the fire he ate it and left, never saw it again. Michigan

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Ohhh. Got ya!

[@zacharywood4493]

The reason that Timbered Branch Road is closed is because on the other other end of that road (turns into Craig Creek Road) it's completely washed out/destroyed. Your jeep is amazing and it might actually be one of the few vehicles that could make it over Craig Creek Road. Im from Morganton NC, and been loving Wilsons, Linville, and Pisgah North my whole life! Great videos!!!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you for the info and and compliment!

[@nikstone2420]

Absolutely beautiful country, thank you for the ride. Happy trails my friends.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you for the awesome compliment!

[@mikeholly9436]

Another great adventure. Hope to join y’all later in the year. Part one had some great shots of the new suspension.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks Mike! We are looking forward to another trip with you all too

[@donbryson7536]

Great videos guys, really enjoy your channel, Thank You

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@All_Things_Out_Doors]

Man what a view of Shortoff Mountain!! Great campsite!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes it is!

[@DownSouth_Adventures]

Actually it is rarely used as a campsite . Most folks from the area use it as a turn around or to share the amazing view from that point with everyone passing thru. Thankfully it wasn’t a busy day, otherwise you would have had a significant amount of traffic in and out of your site. Old 105 is one of our favorite spots for a quick escape. Thank you for showing the beauty of 105 and Wilson’s Creek. Next time be sure to walk out to Wisemans View, it is beyond miraculous.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for the info!

[@markblandford9346]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks Mark. We appreciate it!

[@Motorep146]

Awesome content and I'm enjoying binge watching all of your adventures. As someone who just bailed outta California back to home in SC I was afraid I was going to miss the Jeeping and exploring I had right outside my backdoor. Fortunately it looks like I have plenty of things to explore going forward. I heard you mention needing ice a couple of times in your videos. I use a Yeti 45 since I normally travel solo with one of my dogs. The back of the Jeep tub gets really hot due to the close proximity of the muffler. I built a platform for my cooler on the right side of my LJ (rear seat removed) and it helped tremendously with ice retention. 4-5 days was completely doable with plenty of ice left to keep food and drinks cold even in the desert.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching! There is quite a bit of stuff to explore on this side of the world. We just gotta look a little harder for it. Thanks for the advice on the ice. We ended up buying a refrigerator. It has been a great addition to our rig.

[@patriotsedge6730]

Looks like a fantastic trip. We put it on our list.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It was an amazing trip

[@jeraldrice3583]

I live in the area, frequently go to 105 in my crv to do day camping, and mind clearing

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Great place to clear your mind.

[@brianwofford3831]

Nice video, thanks so much.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You are welcome! Thank you for the compliment

[@christophermartinez5314]

Great overlanding

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks!

[@bobbyspence4697]

Awsome, saw Linville Gorge from the blue ridge parkway.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Linville Gorge was really cool. We are going to have to go back so we can see it with better weather

[@ajbaio8833]

Where were those camping sites by that stream in the beginning?!!!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

All our tracks, way points and campsites can be found on our Patreon. patreon.com/CoddiwompleOverland?Link& Thanks for watching.

[@alanfernandez8448]

Great trip and video. You would be great teachers to newbies to overlanding. Do ya'll ever invite or post your planned trips?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you! We are always up for folks to come along. We just posted some of our 2021 trip plans on our FB page.

[@1320trail]

You have a stabilizer on your dash cam, don't you? Do you mind telling us what stabilizer/gimbal you're using?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

No gimbal. GoPro Hero 7 black. Hard mounted to Vector dash bar.

Is this the forest roads near 181 Burke county NC and beech man road that parallels Wilson creek. The reason I ask I just got my first sxs made it street legal and some forest roads are opening April 1st I'm trying to plot me a route but kinda new to this. This area is close to me if its the one I'm talking about.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

I'm not sure I would have to look and see.

[@dennisk.6388]

We camped along old NC 105 the end of July. What an awesome place. Loving your videos. What FSR was that you found with the dispersed camping along the creek? (After you pulled out of brown mountain). That looks like an awesome place for one of our next trips. Keep sharing! We love it!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It was forest service road 982 which ran off of state route 181. Have fun and be safe!

[@nc_mtbmedic1399]

Where were the camp sites at the beginning of the video?

lol.... I'm Watching...

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Glad to see grandaddy broke out of rehab.

[@TomKirkman1]

I have riden the 54-mile Linville Gorge Loop on a Mountain Bike. That 19 mile ride up the steep gravel road nearly killed us. Worst ride of my life.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

I'm sure that was tough on a mountain bike!

[@johnatha8041]

You need to get a 12 volt fridge

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yep! The Jeep now has a 53qt. fridge now

[@smorris2993]

How are you? My family and I are planning a trip from Orlando toward the Carolinas, TN, and GA. Is it possible you can share this route via email (don’t know if you have an email for your channel or not)? I’m a police officer in FL and desperately need to get out of the city for a while and reset (I’m sure you know how that goes given Y’all’s line of work as well). Please and thank you if possible. Be safe.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching. You can find this route on the Smokey mountain 1000 FB page. And "getting away" is why we got back in to off roading. We go somewhere atleast once a month

[@10ectaco10]

Oh lord please don't post videos of her doing her hair while camping. You know how much trouble you are gonna cause the rest of us! :-)

[@CoddiwompleOverland]
