  • Long Hungary Road Dispersed Camping
    35.32766995, -83.86900636
    Stay to the right to bypass the cemetery and the self registration book will be just past the cemetery!
    HAPPY CAMPING!
    There are 9 campsites along this road, 7 are fantastic with water views, 2 are not so great:#2 is tucked in a curve away from the water in a draw between two mountains and #9 has a water view but straight down 40 or 50 ft to the campsite. Camping limit is 14 days upon self registration and it’s so peaceful you will want to stay all 14 days. The only downside to this disperses area is the parking is VERY limited and right off the road. We think this area would be best for car and tent campers because it will very challenging to get anything bigger that 20ft into these location. Long Hungry Road is narrow, curvy with very few turnouts or places to turn around.

I've never camped there for a week and not seen a bear swim across the lake from my boat.

    Traveling with friends makes for a fun video. Nantahala National Forest is a beautiful area and I agree with Dennis Cofer, Fontana Dam is a must-see landmark. For road warriors, the Tail of the Dragon can't be passed up, just be careful for when the need for speed takes over it can become dangerous. The piano music was perfect, IMO. TY for sharing.

    Beautiful place. Like the hobo stew idea, thanks for sharing. I’m always looking for ideas for camping meals. Question - how many sheets of foil did you use for one packet?

    • @NomadderWhereVan
      @NomadderWhereVan Před 3 lety +1

      Hey there Cherie,
      We only used 1 sheet of foil, but it completely depends on how hungry you are😂The more ingredients you add, I’d say to be safe, add another piece of foil.
      Super easy delicious campfire meal, and No clean up afterwards. 👍

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  Před 3 lety

      I did not notice any grease but I think you have a valid point. It probably is best with leaner ground beef!

    Come to Oconee county, SC. We’re at the upper northwest corner of SC and boast over 20 waterfalls, white water rafting and Oconee State Park, which is open year round. Sumter National Forest. Just as beautiful as the great smokey mountains,i say with pride!!!

    Omg I love ice cream 🍨. Looks like a great spot. I am trying to learn how to read these USDA national forest maps and how to get to the dry camping sites. Those web sites are not easy to navigate. Looks like a great time and I need one of those hammocks you two got 👍🏼

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  Před 3 lety

      We have not used the USDA national forest maps much..... we might need to check these out. We have used the delorme map books and we are thinking of purchasing the Gaia map app. On a separate note: we intentionally did not get a frig with a freezer because we knew there would always be ice cream in it!

    Wow, what a gorgeous area! Like Dave said it is so peaceful and serene. I love having time to learn, watch and observe. That spot was definitely relaxing. The hobo stew looked super fun to make. How delicious it looked. Carrie, were there a lot of downed trees, stumps etc. In the water when you kayaked? Everything there looked so green and serene. You got some great shots on your hike. The history of the area is really interesting. So glad areas like that were saved for all to enjoy. That blue bug was cool. Haha, the ice cream scene at the end. So funny! Can't wait to see where you explore next! 🍒🌞💖

    • @oneadVANtureatatime

      We just could not get over how GREEN everything was and yes there were quite a few downed trees. Joyce Kilmer forest is SO MAGICAL!! And the history is really fascinating. I loved the blue bug too!! That is my favorite color so it caught my eye right away....and then it eventually flew off! Its not often that we have ice cream and this was the first time we went to this extreme but it was so YUMMY and Bill is ALWAYS hilarious!

    Why is using a blowtorch cheating? Is using a lighter cheating? What do you think, rubbing two sticks together not cheating? Great stuff as always.

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  Před 3 lety

      Its cheating because dave has bought at one time or another every fire starter available. He loves the challenge of starting a fire by hand....not much technical difficultly with a blowtorch....lol

      Visitors would not clean up after their pets! It ruins one's day to keep stepping in poo! Also a lot of pets bark a lot and there are lots of bears there who could make the situtation very dangerous.

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  Před 3 lety +1

      Most National Parks are not dog-friendly per say. Dogs can only go on paved trails and anywhere a car can go. It is a bummer at times but I do understand why! Some national parks have kennels so you can enjoy the park, you can also hire a pet sitter. We tend to not like super busy areas and for that reason we tend to skip most national parks.

      we got up really early to drive this section before it got busy so it was not too bad. We have some roads in california that can rival this section..... the road to Shelter Cove off the california coast......I said I would never do that again.

    Hey guy's, looks like you had a great time! I have a question, what would you suggest for a floor in the van. I was thinking about gluing Styrofoam insulation in the grooves, Then a layer of thinsulate. Then placing plywood on top or do I need to put some wood strips in 1st. To screw the plywood into.

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  Před 3 lety

      Hi Terry. I think wood strips, board insulation, a layer of thinsulate and plywood sounds great! We just did foam board and plywood and our floor feels like ice until we turn the Webasto on.
