Trans America Trail - Virginia Section - Travel Guide
The Trans America Trail Virginia section was amazing. The bad weather only added to the experience. It is primarily through the Appalachia mountains which in the winter and with no leaves made for spectacular views. Joined by our our friends Chris, Yolanda, Bryce and pooch Axel this was an awesome trip!

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Great to see a wonderful trip regular folks can do, without the need for a tricked out rig.
Cool! Driving past my house! I love this area of Virginia!! So beautiful.
Really nice video! Thanks for putting it together! :)
Love it! Great videography and commentary 👊🏼💥
Damascus is an awesome town! Look into riding(bicycle) the Virginia creeper trail! Pretty epic stuff! Also wild ponies up in the higher elevations! I fell in love with that area in 98 when I hiked the Appalachian Trail.. Some of the best scenery in the east!
Looks amazing! Great video as always. You can never have too many lights, 😀.
And yet another incredible trip and video creation. I'm such a fan. Cool to know you're only 2 states away. Hope to meet you guys on the trails sometime. You're content and style has made my wife a fan as well.
I love your videos! Great job! Only one problem.. I wasn't invited! 😆
Hey now pennys is in Alleghany county my neck of the woods. There’s a lot of back roads you missed here

@@OverlandPioneers if you ever come again bald mountain to potts mountain to children’s forest to sweet road to Castle road then to peters mountain ending at humpback bridge last covered bridge in Virginia I believe. It’s a long drive but you will see a lot of beautiful trails open all year long
I watched your NC vid and wondered about trailer use. I was glad to see them in use. Racoon hunters! Who da thunk?
I would love to travel these roads. Where can I find a map of the Virginia section, espically around Penny's Diner? Thanks & great video!

As always. Well done
2:57 I've not seen thay done before, but that's a great idea as long as the all parties are actively aware, including the animal companion.

Absolutely. Just take your time in the one or 2 harder sections
What time of year were you there? The research I've been doing lately has most OHV trails open from April to January.

We were there in winter. Came across only 2 small stretches of closed forestry trails
Would a stock 2019~ F150 be ok on this leg?

You don't need to go to Virginia for that, I had coon hunters come on to my farm and my guard dog was okay with the raccoon but not with the hunters dogs being near our flock 😞
What time of year did you complete this?

@@kwacker44 absolutely! A round those times all trails “should” be open. In all the states up to Mississippi heading west I’ve come across probably 6 closed seasonal gates. And we’re able to go and redo them when back in the area. They were also short bipassable sections
