Overlanding the Mid Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route to the Smoky Mtn. 1000

[@DownSouth_Adventures]

It hurts to see you in our backyard when we’re not with you lol! Thanks so much for coming and seeing us and hopefully will see you on the trails soon.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Right... It was great seeing ya'll.

[@outbackwack368]

Nice way to go from "I would like a different bumper" to "I need a new bumper" lol And those squeaky bushings on the Wrangler would drive me NUTS!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Was I that obvious? Lol! - Kelly

[@tomhopkins6758]

Edgemont is my back yard ! I've watched you guys for quite a while now.. Crazy to see my local, in your video, and to hear your perspective! Thank you for your time.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Cool, back yard! Thanks for watching.

[@TNP5150outsider]

Great video!! I can't wait to do it! In sections of course. Lol

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We do alot of ours in sections also. No rush, exploring the area is the fun part.

We like to call those tempur scenic mattresses

You did it again! Great video! I love riding along with you guys.... Deb it is your fault I am in the fridge right now! Every meal you prepare looks so tasty! Safe Travels from the Overland Generation Family.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We need to plan a ride and I'll cook you dinner. Safe travels to ya'll ~ Deb

[@whitewolfoverland117]

Looks like a great trip!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It was great!

[@jonzack3882]

I love your channel so far. I would personally like to see a bit more of camp. Some more of the meals and comroadery. Give people a way to live vicariously through your video. Length isn't a factor with me. If it's enjoyable and interesting I'll watch all day. I'm on my second set of children. 54 with 2 under 4. So until my 2 year old is able to understand that it's fun and cool to drive large chunks of time I'll be watching you and others on KZbin vicariously. Lol. Thanks for keeping me entertained on my free time.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for the input! And we appreciate you watching!

[@daveoffroad7396]

Looked like a great adventure Coddy..! Thanks for taking us along for the ride..!!

Thanks for another route for me to take on, the mid Atlantic discovery route. Looks really interesting.

Absolutely another awesome video. Truly looking forward to seeing more of your videos. You your wife and your friend have a blessed day

Chris, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! -Kelly

[@thebigdogg1701]

Love the channel. Good thing that Kelley didn’t hit that too hard and set off his air bags.

You're right, that would have been a bad day! Thanks for watching! - Kelly

Thanks!

[@buckeyejeeper9996]

We’ll be making a trip there this summer. Elizabethton is where we had to get our marriage license 👍

[@acomputernerd]

I miss the NC mountains. Been through there a few times looked like a nice idea connecting the trails. Thanks for the video!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@devinburke95_yjwillysediti48]

I love riding up around edgemont and we always stop at coffee General store. I wish I knew you was this close I would've love to come and meet all of y'all.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It's a great area to explore! We love meeting-up with folks to hit some trails. Maybe we'll end up down that way again soon. Thanks for watching! - Kelly

Enjoy your videos

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you!

[@dwoodring10]

Always enjoy your videos. I am fairly new to Jeepin. Would love to see a video on the communications you put and use in the Gladiator. Just purchased a GRMS HT.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We are going to be doing a full walk around soon. Thanks for watching!

[@markratliff1407]

He guys, you camped on my lake bed spot. Been camping there for years. How did u like south Houston lake?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It's an awesome place for sure, we loved it!

[@markratliff1407]

@@CoddiwompleOverland with the exception of hitting the unlucky stump!

[@kellypw8186]

Thanks for watching Mark! That poor stump was just an innocent victim of me not paying attention to where I was going....

[@christopheranderson8619]

Thanks for sharing. Pretty sure I'll be following this route starting in May N-S. How were fueling options along the route?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching! Fuel stops were plentiful along this route

[@thomasreilly2864]

How are you liking the Gladiator ? I'm partial to my FJ cruiser and never owned a Jeep. But that gladiator gets my attention! If you guys ever get around LBL again , id love to join the ride!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We are loving the Gladiator and hopefully attending the Calloway County Jeep event in the fall.

[@Derek-OverwaterOverland]

I'll be in that area soon, would you be able to share the Gaia tracks and Camp waypoints?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Send us an email to [e-mail] and we will try to send you the tracks. We are currently traveling through North Maine Woods. With limited service.

[@davidbristow944]

Dang. Crash boom bang Kelly!! And on the first outing. Love the orange bro. So is the Gladiator noticeably smaller than the PW? Thanks. Dave from Fla

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

The track width is pretty much the same. The PW body is wider and the Wheel base is a little longer.

[@kellypw8186]

Lol! Yep, I just drove right into that stump... Thanks, I really like the orange too! Bill and I were talking about getting all of the rigs together and actually measuring them. Though there are differences between them for sure some things might suprise folks. Thanks for watching!

[@briansettle2278]

Another great video! I was just in the NC mountains this past weekend and ended up on the Blue Ridge Parkway, all paved but beautiful none the less. What app or program are you using to find these forest roads and campsites, onX off-road or something else? Would love to find some of these forest roads this summer to explore in my truck and my RTT.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Gaia GPS with the MVUM layer. We also use to help find locations. But most of the time we just stumble across sites.

[@Vehiclesupportedtravel]

Do you happen to have any gpx files you could share on the smokey mountain 1000 I live in east Tennessee and would love to do the route

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Look up Smokey Mountain 1,000 on Facebook or website to download gpx

[@geech08]

What do you like better the wrangler or gladiator?

[@tylerdubois9020]

Depends on what you are doing. The gladiator has a lot more room but the downside is your breakover and departure angles are worse. I am not a huge fan of Gladiators (the body style), but Coddiwomple has done a nice job with their rig.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Like Tyler said, depends on what you are doing however, we are really loving the Gladiator!

@@CoddiwompleOverland I’m gonna have to ask as I am trying to decide. If you were forced to pick one 😊?

@@CoddiwompleOverland great to know from someone who has driven so many overland miles. Thank you

[@philgriswold2133]

Now tie the SM1000 to the Ga Traverse and just keep it going.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

That's a thought🤔

[@philgriswold2133]

@@CoddiwompleOverland There are other channels that sell their GAIA maps or allow access for patrons. Do you guys do that? We live near Asheville and would enjoy many of the paths you guys have discovered.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Phil, we have actually done the Georgia Traverse and some of it runs along the SM1000. So, you can actually go all the way to Alabama. We don't sell our tracks. If someone wants a gpx of ours that isn't available like the MABDR or the SM1000, I will send them what we did. If some one wants to support us monetarily, you can buy our shirts at Long Creek Overland, support or sponsors and keep watching our videos!

[@JEEP-N-DIRT]

Why doesn't Kelly just get a jeep. LOL.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

LoL. I'll let Kelly answer that one...-Bill

[@kellypw8186]

I have one...lol! A 2017 2dr Rubicon. Might take it on a trip soon bit I really love getting out in the Power Wagon - even if it get's into a tight spot here and there. To be fair, this was me not paying attention to what I should have been... I just plain drove into a stump that was right in front of me.

[@invictuscenturion8468]

The Mojave looked Tan or brown most of the trip.

Lol yes it did

It seems like you did the opposite route as the title.
