We start our day at Linville Falls Campground and head out to Old House Gap road. Having been recently closed, we are happy to have made it through just in time. From there we head all the way over to Hurricane Creek to find a campsite for the night. Grab your RTT and come with us on an awesome adventure through North Carolina!!

So glad my new chevy trail boss was ordered from the factory by Champion Chevrolet in Johnson citymTN with the surround view camera package. That will come in very handy while driving on these types of trails.

I haven't used cameras while wheeling yet, but they look nice. Especially with a full size...

Good tread isn’t only relevant on the truck but also for the spotters and film crew 😂

Thanks homie. We have a few more trips planned for this year, hopefully we keep getting good footage all the while. I just ordered a new computer too, as the laptop I've been using for editing was just over matched by trying to process 4k. So editing took forever, and as it crashed constantly I wasn't really willing to do too much editing trickery. So here's to hoping I can step up the editing a bit too.

The National Parks Forest service closed down the Old House Gap road last year and probably never open it back up to vehicles again! That's what a Ranger told me when I was there last fall!

Yup. I suspect the same that it'll never reopen. I'm glad we got the chance to see it when we did...

I appreciate the trail footage but MAN!! I can't support driving through that road construction zone. Looked like they had worked to smooth that area out.

You're right, I totally shouldn't have gone through there. Though it doesn't excuse it, I wouldn't have gone through if the other cars ahead of us wouldn't have already gone. It was a dick move for sure, and if the road crew sees this, y'all have my apologies.

Nice video ... Is old house gap open ???

@EverymanOverland 3 жыл бұрын

My understanding is they closed it a week or two ago likely for the rest of the year. We got lucky and were there the weekend before it was closed.

Likelihood of a 4dr Silverado making it through these trails? 3” Suspension lift, 33” All Terrains, and rear locking diff

You'll make it so long as you're ok with some pinstripes. Your bumpers may touch here and there, and I wouldn't go alone just in case. But you could certainly get the truck through.

How long was the old house gap rd trail? Like how many hrs and miles?

@EverymanOverland 2 жыл бұрын

It took us probably 2 or 3 hours, it was probably 2 or 3 miles long... But last I knew it's still closed. They closed it for "maintenance" about 2 weeks after we ran it and like I say I think it's still closed.

@@EverymanOverland ahh man. That stinks if it’s still closed down. You should try horse creek. It’s off 107 in Chuckey, TN. Horse creek park. It’s a cool trail too. Just drive to the park and stay on the road. It continues on past the parking area and starts turning into the trail. Nice lookout from the top too! It’s always gated off Ayer the lookout area and you have to go back down the trail. But it’s cool. Takes a few hrs also!

@@Salty_reviews ironman? They're good stuff coming out of Australia I believe. They're the ones with the neon green springs. So far Jay has been very happy with his suspension. Look them up, they also sell a ton of recovery gear, RTT, all kinds of stuff.
