- Join Bill and Deb along with several other friends as they overland the Smokey Mountain 1000. The Smokey Mountain 1000 is a loop trail that was developed by dual sport and adventure motorcycle riders the the states of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Over the course of 6 months and several trips, Coddiwomple Overland was able to Overland the entire loop.
From stunning landscapes to cozy campfires, this video is a reminder of the simple yet incredible joys of overlanding.
Thanks!
I know this is an older video but I’m hoping you’ll see this message. I got my father and 2 boys ages 5 and 9 out on the roads this past week. This video and specifically the twin falls were my motivation to make this trip happen. We made it to the falls and we were blown away by the area. Thank you for all of the time, energy, and effort y’all put into your videos. Safe travels and hope to see you out there!
Thank you very much! We're glad you enjoyed the area. Hope to see you out there as well.
A see alot of hard work making this video. I very much enjoyed it.. Not sure why the dislikes?
Thank you very much!
@@CoddiwompleOverland what is the bag hanging off your spare tire rack ?? 🤔
It is a bag to carry trash.
@@CoddiwompleOverland oh ok 👍TY,,,,
Jealousy 🤢
Great Video 👍
Great video. Deb is not only a very good videographer but a great cook too. You sir, are quite handy at piloting your jeep. Thanks for a calm cool look at overlanding comforatably through the Smokies.
Thank you so very much for the incredible compliments!
Great video. Love the occasional comments from the wife and the fact that you guys are older, giving me hope for planing a similar trek after I retire, if not sooner. I also like the fact that the rigs are not crazy over the top vehicles. Congratulations and look forward to your next adventures.
Thank you very much!
Good on y'all for helping to clean up the trail after others, as you tried to enjoy it. 👍 Great video!
Thanks for watching! Just trying to do our part to keep wonderful places like this open
It is so awesome to watch a video like this. It saves me lots of time and money. I can just sit and watch this and dream. Lol you guys did a great job.
Thank you for watching!
Great video, but its not the same as the feeling you get cruising slowly through the woods and turning a curve, or cresting a hilltop and finding something akin to heaven on earth!
Thanks!
The video is nothing like being there I promise you.
@stephenmcgrath6428 we agree
Thanks for taking us on the adventure with you, love it!
Thank you for going along!
This is going to be an awesome planning resource for our Smky Mtn 1000 trip this summer. Thanks for putting this together in one VLOG!
You ate very welcome! Thanks for watching!!
Love what you are doing with your channel.It’s just the type of overlanding I am interested in doing. I hope before very long I can tackle the Smokey Mountain 1000 as well.Hope to see more of your trips in the future!!!
Thank you very much!!!
AWESOME!!! My wife and I love the smokey mountains, love our jeep and love the road less traveled and were absorbed in this trip with you guys! Thanks for family video and sharing such an adventure with us!
Thank you for coming along.
Loved the video and your philosophy on overlanding with no real final destination each night. Beautiful scenery !
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for your video of this area. After watching it I loaded up our Jeep Wrangler and the wife and Wiener dog headed out from Texas and completed about 800 miles of this trail. In So. Carolina there were several dead end detours so we missed some of this trail. We camped in our Gazell tent every night on rushing waters. Great trip and we thank you again for your videos. We are retired and I'll be taking my wife to see many places across this USA. THANKS AGAIN
Thanks awesome! Hate you hit so many dead ends.
So I"m listening to music but have this on the screen and its AWESOME! Great ride.Thanks for posting this!
Awesome!
wonderful video. Being from Eastern Kentucky myself, now transplanted in Florida, I so miss 4x4 ing in the hills. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Epic! Very very good. Deb sure got a workout with all the camera work.
Thank you. She works hard for sure.
Great video thank you. My wife and I follow your channel religiously and absolutely love the way you overland. It's exactly what we're trying to do. We hope to explore some of that area around the week of Thanksgiving. Keep up the GREAT content.
Thanks for following along with us. We love this area..
I really enjoyed “riding along”, just discovered, and subscribed to, your channel today as a CZcams suggestion…
It’s refreshing to see a Jeep channel with a more mature viewpoint. I’ve wanted a Jeep for a couple of years now to further my landscape photography work, circumstances just haven’t been right yet.
Thank you for watching!
I love your accent, you talk just like my in-laws except my wife she has a strong southern draw like southern Georgia. I’m going to be buried in the family plot. This is where we got Married. In the foot hills of the Appalachia foot hills. Nothing there’s but forgotten people. People dear to us. I will be the first yankee to be laid to rest with my family in Kentucky. I will be on a hill looking East. Been married 51 yrs. My wife and I love Kentucky and her people 🤗🇺🇸 Michigan
I want to tell you one more think about my Kentucky in-laws when I married into this southern clan I was shock! They hugged me. Loved me kiss me neve Ethan that happened to me. I now belonged to the Ford./Perkins clan, there was250 of them and now I was their position and all their southern resources went to me and my wife for love and success. And all of me and Carol Ann went to them . They hugged me and kiss me and that never happened to me before. I was just23 yrs b old and all of my wife’s aunt’s wanted to raise me . They kept telling my wife “ we thought you would never get married” she was 23. Her aunts fed me so much I thought I would burst. Kentucky people are the best in the world.
Thank you for you comments about Kentucky and it's people!
I love that episode. I watch it over and over again : )
Glad you liked it.
As a native to Western North Carolina I've been to most of these places. Great video makes me want to put a tent on my jeep.
Thanks and glad you liked it!
Great video and great adventure. Keep on going and enjoy the open road. Cool shots of the water falls and river otter family.
Thank you.
Love the video, my wife and I recently purchased our first 4 door jeep wrangler and always had a passion for the outdoors. This is something we are seriously looking doing. Thank u again for sharing
Thank you for watching. This is an incredible activity to do as a couple!
Like another person commented, from Memphis but grew up in Vegas and SD. I’ve done about 50-60% of the trails in UT, NV, CA and AZ. Also spent a lot of time in Baja. We moved to Greenville last year and wasn’t sure what I’d find for 4x4 adventure. Your videos, Simply Must Go and a few others have given me quite a few places to check out. Trying to get my old Dodge ready, wiring harness is the current project. After 15 yrs of wheeling it’s needed some TLC. Hope to run into you out there someday, thank you.
Glad we could help you finds some adventure. Hope to see you on the trail.
How do I get onto this trail I really want to do it

Thank you for coming along.
What a wonderful video...!!! I enjoy it from the beginning all the way to the end, you guys did a great job filming this adventure and thank you for sharing this we us ... this is a road trip that is on my to go list and I will try to get the GPX-file to use on Gaia

@@CoddiwompleOverland that should be awesome!!! We will appreciate it... thank you...
Beautiful scenery, wonderful commentary, exiting journey!!! Love the video. Keep it going!!!
Thank you!
WOW, we spend a great deal of time in Western NC and Eastern TN (Great Smoky Mountain area) and never heard of this until I saw your video. Looks like an amazing adventure and we need to do this. Thank You for sharing this.
Thanks for coming along.
I've done the smoky mountain 500. Some of the same trails. Beautiful area.
Loving your videos, excited to get my jeep ready to do some adventures like yours.
Great! Hope to see you out on the trail.
First, I watched the entire trip. I grew up in the Foot Hills of the Smokey Mountains, Walland to be exact. Now I live in Kansas City for the past 21 years, its so nice to see the laurel trees and the streams that I took for granted when i was a kid. Like someone else said If you haven't went through Cades Cove its beautiful. I use to ride my bike up to it and go around when I was probably 11. Yep that was before helicopter parents. (Mid 70's) Thank you for taking me back! P.S. There use to be some great 4 wheeling trails around Chilhowee (sp) lake and Fontana lake you may have been on some of them not positive. I know you said Santeela (again sp) lake. I have fished on all of those many times, GREAT now I'm home sick. Thanks Again!
Glad we could take you back.
I thoroughly enjoyed this entire video. I am really looking forward to getting my jeep fully outfitted for some trips like this. My wife and I are going to spend some time together in the mountains doing this very thing… We can’t wait. Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching! Hopefully we will see you all out there sometime!
Thank you so much for this video! Gave me a great idea of a place to visit with my family.
It's beautiful
Loved your video. We did many forest roads when we lived in the Carolinas. We are now in Oregon and it is stunning here as well.
Thank you! We really want to get to Oregon.
@@CoddiwompleOverland You need to. I lived in Colorado as well. Oregon is just as beautiful but you also get the coast here!
Yes!
Great video. Deb is not only a very good videographer but a great cook too.
She is indeed.
1:32:01 Amazing stuff! I gotta go and get out there! Right here in the south... (I live in Alabama) There's so much life to live, isn't there? Living the dream! And thanks for the hard work putting these videos together!
Yes, Thank you, and hope to see you out on the trail.
absolutely incredible to have that drone footage in this. Stunningly beautiful!
Thank you!
Great travelogue! I’ve camped at a few of those spots. Hope to get back there soon.
Thank you for watching!
Good stuff. Im from lee county va now on the east coast. Miss it everyday. Gods country.
Thanks for watching
Great vid! You all our obviously well prepared. Only doing this today, i would be carrying for saftey. Too many bad people everywhere. Safe travels!
We carry. Safe travels!

Thank you!
Always enjoy your videos. Love the overlanding
Thank you!
Absolutely love the way you do your narration and Music editing process.
Quiet and nice music choice... its tops safe travels to you always....
Thank you for the compliment and watching.
Thank you for the very informative and scenic video. My family and I look forward to taking our Jeep’s on the same route in the near future.
Thank you for watching!
I know those places so well growing up around them and many trips glad u got to see them
Great area!
This video ...
PERFECT..
Now i know what to look for on my next trip up. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Are those the mountains ⛰ from the song 🎵 On top of old smokey, all covered in snow ❄ 🎵. It's really beautiful there and know you had a ball there. From South Africa Wishing you many more trips. Enjoy and cheers 🍻.
Thanks for watching the Smokey Mountains are beautiful.
It was great to see the videos again great over landing
Thank you!
Wow, thanks so much for the video log of y’all’s trip. That was some beautiful scenery. We live in the foothills of the Smoky mountains near Cosby TN. and get to see the frozen frost covered trees much of the (short) winter season. I applaud you on your preparedness and your video skills. We’ve only lived here three years and I had no idea that there were so many cool forest roads near us. I wish I would have bought a 4x4 instead of our fusion! Thanks again!
Thanks for the compliment and watching.
Nice video . Well done . Thoughtful , in depth and nicely produced .
Thank for the adventure .
Thanks for coming along.
Absolutely love the video! Took me a few days myself to find time to watch it through but worth every minute. As a resident of middle-NC I hadn’t known about this large loop. Now I’m wanting to plan my own adventure around it.
Glad you liked it! It's a great loop.
Fantastic video. I look forward to seeing more.
Thanks!
Apple pizza😂👌 You are phenomenal. Wonderful movie and adventure.
Thank you very much!
Love your content! You're the best! This is my obligatory comment to enhance your CZcams algorithm performance.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful video of the Smokeys. Great job on the editing. One day I'll do the Smokey 1000
It's a great area.
Awesome video. Enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you!
Found you on this video. Fantastic job! Can’t wait to plan this trip for my family. Starting to do my Gaia planning.
So glad you found us! Thanks for the compliment!
Nice to see other “ OlderLanders” out there on adventures. Rooftop tents are not easy for age challenged women, or men.
True! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful trip Sir, Thank you for sharing. It is now on our list ! :)
Thank you!
If you want to see (almost)guaranteed wild bears then drive the Cades Cove loop(all paved) for a couple hours after 1600- park close in the spring/summer. They like the cooler evenings.
We have been there several times
Great video of the Smoky Mountains. Being from Greenville, S.C. and currently living in Tucson, AZ I really missed seeing home and the country that I grew up in. I want to do this route next summer after I retire from work.
Thanks for watching!
Great video, it's on my list now for sure
Great! Check out our newest video of the Smoky Mountain 1,000. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing this adventure! I used to frequent BLM land in the California Sierra Nevada mountains, and now am in South Carolina. I was disappointed in the lack of places to go off-roading and overlanding. Almost everything out here is private property! This is exactly what I have been looking for, for about 4 years now.
You have few adventure routes near you. Also check out South Carolina adventure route and Georgia Traverse.
@@CoddiwompleOverland Thank you for the reply. I see that the Carolina Adventure route seems to have a lot of pavement, with some dirt and gravel roads mixed in. The local one around here is horsepasture road, and I did that one a couple years ago. Its a pretty drive, all graded gravel with no real challenges. The view of the lake at the end makes it a great day trip. I will check out the GA traverse tomorrow and see what they offer. What are the other few adventure routes near me you are referring to? Or did you mean just the Carolina one and the GA one? Thanks!
Great video!! Looks like an amazing trek through some of my favorites places.
Something to note for others who follow this route. That awesome spot on old NC 105 on the west side of Linville Gorge…it’s not a camp site. Parking to hike is allowed but rescue had to have clear access to the gated Wolfpit West (117) forest service road.
Not sure which site you are referring to as the night we camped on 105 their search and rescue and law enforcement from the area hung out with us for about an hour.🤷♀️ Nothing was said then maybe it has changed.
Love your videos, going to start my overland adventures soon. Cheers and happy new year!
4 seasons Bar-Bq Overland!
Thank you and we wish you a happy and adventurous new year
“After watching the local police swat team a guy, and then a nice warm dinner...” I died 🤣
Glad you liked it!! LOL
@@CoddiwompleOverland Very much so! Inspiring!
Thank you
Wow what a great video I can't wait till I'm able to do something like this thanks again
Thanks for watching.
really enjoyed viewing thank you and best wishes

Hey, this is my backyard. So great to see. Love it.
I grew up on Wilson's Creek. Love to see others discover it.
It is an incredible place for sure!
Thanks for the ride along
Thanks for riding along
Lost Creek, Starr Mtn and Waucheesi...my backyard! Great trip and video production!
Awesome back yard! Thanks for watching
What a wonderful trip and a wonderful video. We live in Tryon, NC, south of Asheville, so much of the NC and SC paths we somewhat familiar, but most of the TN and GA were new to us. I now have some new destinations. You have a new fan.
Thank you for the awesome compliment. We are so glad you like the channel!
great coverage of some nice adventures.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your trek in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. Such different scenery compared to the pacific northwest Washington area. You should try out here if you ever find a way here. Lots of forest road to explore.
Would love to get that way.
Very nice & relaxing videos. Thank you
Thanks for watching.
Great trip indeed. Wish I could join you. Excellent vdo. 👍
It was a great trip. Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed your videos very much. I have been in some of the areas you traveled and it's so beautiful in the fall!
Yes, it is a beautiful area. Fall is amazing.
Awesome to see another Kentuckian! I’m stationed in New York now, but originally from Kentucky. Hoping to get a jeep after I return from deployment. This looks like a great trail.
Thank you for your service.
My brother and I just did hurricane creek with two completely stock trucks on some slightly larger mud tires. His is a 1990 k1500 single cab short bed and I did it in a 3500 quad cab dually. Picked out lines and drove very careful but no damage besides some possible scratches. A couple of those rocky section I didn't know if I was going to make it due to the size of my vehicle.. Camped at the first campsite the night before and woke up to beautiful scenery.
Hurricane is one of our favorite trails.
Thanks for sharing your great adventures!
Thanks for watching!
You're welcome!
Beautiful adventure, especially the mountain trees that looked to have been dusted with confectioners sugar. Wish we had landscape and drivable forest roads here on Maui like those in your video.
Thanks for watching.
Amazing video! I would definitely enjoy this trip great job!
Thanks
Beautiful country. Great job on the video.
Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thank you! You and the scout are welcome anytime
I've moved many boulders weighing up to 5,000 pounds from mountain roads near my home in Oregon. Some using my Warn winch, and others by simply attaching a tow strap to a shackle on my Jeep JL Rubicon's bumper.
Great video. Love the scenic views
Thank you!
Great overlanding

Cool video! Looks like a great adventure.

Yes, it is.
I haven’t been there in 30yrs. I think it’s time to take my family there in my JK and do some camping.
Amazing video, editing and narration. Awesome to watch!
Thank you!
And I subscribed!

They are both great! Thanks for watching
We just learned about that loop 2 weeks ago. Team of 4 dual sport rider from Maine checked in a deals gap. Looks like a fun ride.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching. It would be a blast on a dual sport. Makes me hate that I sold my Husaberg
Very cool trip. Thanks for posting and subbed.
