    I have finally found a new area to camp. It has great views and a even nicer stream next to most campsites.
    Join me for my inaugural solo trip to this part of the GWNF. I luckily found a amazing dispersed camping site on the first night. Stay tuned for part 2 when I travel around and try not to get lost.

    Nice video and thanks for posting. We are pushing north and working our way into exploring the VA wilderness so this is helpful. Lovely campsite and I appreciate that you showed setting up camp. Glad to see a fellow tent camper when the RTT is all the rage now. Hope to see you out there on the trail.

      Thank you!! I would like to try a RTT one day, but I think I'll prefer a ground tent. I enjoy the space and freedom to put the tent wherever I want. Enjoy the outdoors!!!

    I tow a 26 foot travel trailer into that forest. Although the roads typically get potholes in them, with the occasional wash outs and washboard, it isn't necessary to air down for traction on those roads. As the content creator stated, he did it for comfort. Surprised though he felt the need to do that in a Lexus. I have found that slowing down in my 1 ton truck makes the ride on those roads a lot smoother.
    Good quality video and good editing job.

      You are right. Airing down there is unnecessary, but sometimes you never know what you'll hit. I have eventually found some turn-off roads that are pretty rocky. But I wouldn't take a 26' trailer there lol. Thanks for watching!! I may need to get some camping tips from you.

    Can't believe i just found this channel. You're a really great resource for GWNP! Just moved back to the East Coast and your videos are really helpful for scouting out sites. Awesome videos and keep up the great work!

    Going up this weekend since the weather was meh this memorial weekend, in addition to the fact it was also packed too lol last time I went I forgot airdown , lucky all went well but have to not be forgetful at times

      This place was at Alhambra Rd. Which was actually gravelled up pretty nice. But airing down made the ride way smoother. I'm always scared and don't want to take any chances. Definitely get an air compressor to air back up too

    Hey, I just found your channel. I’m always looking for places explore in Virginia. Where does this road start?

    • @AccidentalOverlander
      @AccidentalOverlander  Před 8 hodinami +1

      It's called Alhambra Rd by the South Fork Piney River. Easy driving and not a super long road.
