Headed there tomorrow actually love this place was scouting some YT VIDS seen yours thought I'd comment

Great video! I love that you include your kids in the adventures. As a Dad, it’s nice to see other Dad’s getting their kids outdoors on micro adventures. I’ve subscribed. Thanks.

Such a beautiful scenery. One day hopefully we will make it to the highway 105 and explore dinosaur cave. And rock climbing for sure !! Great video. 😉 Thanks

I was born and raised in Marion. We used to go up on 105 when we were bored and hang out, I live in Burke county now, even closer to 105 lol

I appreciate your videos! You're giving me all kinds of ideas to do with the family

Man it’s cool to see someone posting off-roading in NC that isn’t Uwharrie OHV or private property. I’ve had a blast in Uwharrie over the years with my Jeep but now that I’m in a 1st get xterra I’ve been looking for fun camping sites/off roading places that I don’t have to worry about breaking things or I don’t need a big lift and 35s to travel safely. I’m making a “to do list” based on your videos. Thank you!

Great video with some excellent driving trails. There is a wealth of exploration to be done in this area, looking forward to getting back out there. Thanks for taking the time to post these videos.

Excellent video ! I can not wait to come check that place out !

I did an overnighter at an awesome spot on 105 a month ago. I had been wanting to do that for a long time. I need to explore those other roads you were showing. I enjoyed the video.

Looks amazing, and not too far from home. Will definitely be checking it out once I get my rooftop tent.

Thanks so much for this. We did the drive north to south today and even hiked down to the dinosaur cave. The north end of the road is certainly much smoother than the southern half, but coming out at Lake James was a great finish to the day. I’d love to come back with the Tacoma, we did it in the Ram 2500 with 90 psi in the tires. Not the most comfortable ride.

Hey I live in NC, looking to do a trip out that way next week

Best dad of the year award.

I enjoy taking a ride across Old NC105 every now and then. Enjoyed watching your video! Liked and subbed!

Apologies for being a pronunciation policeman but it's "PI-nola" (or "pine-ola". : ) I'm a local. Agreed with the post about you being a super dad for sharing with your kids.

Nice video! Taking my Frontier 4x4 there next week!

Nice video brother! I saw your wearing a Mebane shirt I live right down the toad in Graham

Is this NC 105 or Forest Road 105 and does it have an alternate name? Never mind. This is old NC 105 / Forest Road or NC 1238 North of Lake James on Hwy 126.

thank you

They blocked off Craig Creek Rd just after the camping spots near Brown Mtn Beach Rd. I don’t know why. You have to come from 181 now and can’t get to Wilson’s Creek from Craig Creek anymore. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how terrible that is.

Nice video! We run 105 a lot (almost 3-4 times a month) going to check out beech mtn road soon!

You were lucky to hit Craig Creek Rd when you did, not long after you were there it got severely washed out during a 500 year storm, taking out a bridge. The lower portion of the road before you begin your ascent is basically a creek now. They put gates on both ends of the road and I don't know that they will ever fix and reopen it. I'm a mountain biker so I still use it all the time and honestly don't mind it being abandoned....but sucks for overlanders (and lazy mountain bikers that want to shuttle).

Great video, 105 is definitely on my list now. Just curious, do you know any general rules or regulations for camping on 105? it looked like you just pulled over in a spot that had room to leave the road clear and I have read there are pull over spots to camp further up the road. Just looking for some tips to plan a trip. thanks!

The wilson creek area is my hang out and base camp area. Bruce at betsys is a trip ! Brown mountain rd has been over run in the past 10 years 😑

will be taking my first trip out to 105 this weekend. do you have a site or an app you use to mark your mapping? would love an exact route to follow.

What app are you using for your mapping?

Hello! Just now seeing this video over a year later! We are planning a first time trip for tent camping in September and would love that EXACT spot that you are at in the beginning of this video. I know we will be super lost and I can’t find this spot on a map. Do you have a close address or a way to find this spot for somewhere who’s never been through the area?? Thanks!!

Camping is cooler than over landing , lol

Headed up this weekend, you been on old house gap?

Do you have a centralized website you go to find all of your trips or just word of mouth. Maybe I’m looking up the wrong stuff in VA. I dunno. You should totally map out all you adventures on a forum or something. Either way. Looks like an awesome time.

Today, is that 1238?

Thanks for the video, hwy 105 was great. Couldn’t believe some of the great camping spots (best views were taken). We didn’t camp but was still cool to see campers. I must be very conservative when it comes to what a car can handle as saw many 2 wheel cars out there. I was worried about my truck in some areas.

Been watching you vids for a while, and I just noticed your Mebane shirt, are you from that general area?

pine-ola rd

Do you have a fb or IG? I’m at the NC Coast. Would love to meet up at Lookout! Also thinking about a Portsmouth Island trip

Pin e ola? No! Pine-no-la!
