Классный 😎 Форд😮😊👍
Just found your channel and subbed! 👍🏻👍🏻 Can you set up camp anywhere along that road? For example near the creek/falls you showed? Is that far off the road? My son and I actually tried to check this place out back in 2016 but came to those houses and it was so overgrown I thought it was all their driveway/property and didn’t proceed further. Turned around and headed back home but I’ve always wondered about this area. I’m actually a stone throw away now and drive past that area every day for work and back. There was a small like 2.2 earthquake there early yesterday morning around 2am I guess. We do have black bear around. We have a momma and cub that hangs around just down the road from us, I’ve seen one cross the road ahead of me on my way to work and an older fella further down from me had one in his driveway last Fall. They’ve never bothered anyone that I know of. We tent camp so I’m always a tad nervous though as we woke one night to our tent being ripped through the rain fly and main tent and so we made lots of crazy noise haha and I eventually got out and looked around. Didn’t see anything around. No limbs or anything by the tent so I can only guess it was a bear? I wanted to look for tracks but it started raining just after this happened and before I got brave enough to peek out so we decided to pack up and head on out. We were planning on leaving that morning anyways. Just got a real early start lol and thankfully had a lot already packed up. That was out on Roseboro Road off of Edgemont, where we like to go from time to time. Someday I’m getting me a small camper or van. For now we rough it in the ol tent but I did just get a truck bed tent I still need to set up to see how it is. Will still also take my regular tent but would use the truck tent just for zzzz. Anyways be safe out there and look forward to browsing around your space here. 🙂
Drone views are nice! Was it worth the drive?
Yes it was!
Back in the early 90s I worked for a trucking company out of Lexington, North Carolina, J&S Truck Service. We had a sister company out of Mt Airy (can't remember the name now)... Every so often I'd go over to Mt Airy to get one of their trucks to do a California turn.. Nice little town.
It is such a nice place to visit! Glad you liked it!
another great adventure - I could never do that. I am scared of the woods
You need to come camp these game lands with me!!
@@weekendsinavan5503 I’m ready. Let’s plan it
Car
That's an area I need to make the left turn when coming down from Blowing Rock and explore, I'm usually headed to Lenior for some reason or going right to Wilson Creek. I had my doubts about the steak seasoned cabbage as you started to eat it.......should've packed some beef hot dogs and cole slaw dressing just in case 😁 Happy Trails and safe adventures.
You should definitely check it out! If you head up there look off to the river side and stop and check out the old dam.Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing!
Your Welcome!
"Antique auto" plate ..... oh, that makes me feel OLD ...... My dad bought a green one in 1973 - I was 10 years old. I always did love the first gen Broncos!! And that one is CLEAN ...... 🥰
Very cool!
Always wanted to stop there but just never took the time to. Definitely looks like a pretty neat place to checkout next time we are up there. Great job on the video brother!
Thanks man!
Awesome song!!!!
Thanks!
Man I tell you that’s a much better time of year to go to WC. We camped there a couple times last month and we could barely find a place to park and fish because of so many people swimming lol.. Really enjoy camping at Mortimer and always heard about the cemetery but didn’t quite know where it was at. Great job on the video brother!
Thanks! I won’t be back till the water too cold to swim in and the leafs are turning!The cemetery is directly behind the old CCC Camp up on the hill.
@@weekendsinavan5503 don’t blame you there same here and thanks for the info!
Idk what that is but I’m all the way in
Very very cool collection.
I need that washing machine ❤
Love the music and style of your videos. Was the campsite at the end of 188 or 4110? It looks like there’s a gate on 188 on the USFS map. I wonder if it is seasonally closed?
I think it closed at different times but when I was up there the gates were open. Glad you liked the videos!!
Was the campsite at the end of FS 188 or 4110? Thanks!
Love it
Barn looks great
Thanks man!
Who wants to see that hell hole
Is this in lenoir?
It close but I don’t know if it’s considered Lenoir.
They look exhausted! Great skills
What a waste of a perfectly good corvair convertable
The Corvair! 💞
That low class music doesn’t go with that truck at all.
Matlocks
Thats kool
Those bales are going to burn a hole in that bed. Looks like it just has some dents knocked out. I bet it runs- it was parked when it was assaulted.
Such a cool little place. Took my kids there last year in April. Met the granddaughter. Unfortunately found out the owner had just passed away the month before.
Yeah it a cool place because you don’t expect something like that in the middle of nowhere!
I remember wringing those clothes out and having to dip the buckets of water out. Then hang the clothes up.
Hi
All those Mugs and not a drop of coffee to be had, pretty cool site to be seen. Dead Vanagon battery is so annoying. I put in a battery quick connect in my Westy to eliminate getting into the battery box.
I’ll have to try that. .. but it was my fault. I discovered I left a light on in the back..
Shame are worth a lot restored in Europe
Beautiful truck
Where is this? Nc or TN
It is North Carolina.
So thankful for the video I passed that road a couple weeks ago. Going soon.
Your welcome.
Awesome Looking Car for sure, Love the color 👍👍✌️
Beutiful car .
This car brings back memories of match box garage toy cars , or maybe it was hot wheels, I’m not really sure we had so many toy cars and some went faster than others. I wish I would’ve saved them.🙏
That's a 69
I believe that is a 1969 chevelle SS not a ‘72, 1972 chevells had only 2 headlights not 4 and 4 round tail lights set in the rear bumper.
Yes! It an inside Joke with the guy I work with!
@@weekendsinavan5503 Mighty kind of you to let us all in on it then!! 🙄😠
I’m sorry!
I’m thinking of spending the rest of the summer up there to get out of the South Georgia heat. Is it cool up there in North Carolina in the summer months?
Yes it is! You should come on up!
I’m headed out west Sunday. I’m joining up with the Homes on Wheels Alliance groups moving north from southern Arizona to the mountains in Northern Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado to live full time on BLM & National Forest land. Think about coming along if you can. The bad weather and heat in the east convinced me to head that way. I hope my 2009 F-150 can make it pulling my 6x 12 Cargo Trailer Camper that far and up into those 9000 feet areas. I put a new engine in it in 2017 planning on going then.
The best color for a westy.
Thanks! It doesn’t show dirt!
Built to last.
Cool video. Thx for it. I enjoyed watching.
Thanks
I need fenders on my M
I'm old now, and that old M Farmall takes me back to being a kid! Good looking old tractor.
Beautiful Super M
You need wider trailer tires😊😊😊😊😊😊
Cool Corvair
You mentioned you purchased some forest road maps. Are you able to tell me where I may find them, please? Planning a trip Easter weekend in Pisgah! Stumbled on your channel while trying to trip plan. Love videos and the van ofc! Thanks -Emmie
Thanks! Brown Mountain Beach Resort sales them in their coffee shop. Check them out on instagram.
Thank you! We stayed off yellow gap!
