@JourneyBeyondOverland2 ай бұрын
Thank you for asking this. It caused me to reach out to some more resources to make sure I correct any wrong information. It is not listed by that name on the current DBBB map, and it appears I made an incorrect assumption that this was part of the DBBB rather than an unlisted local gem. This set of public roads is in the same geographical area as the DBBB. Very rarely we travel on tracks that are less traveled, hidden gems that could close with too much publicity or (careless) overuse. In those rare cases, we often choose not to list the names of the public road(s) or trails. We are just a tiny channel with minimal impact, but we still don't want to lead to a flood of people on fragile places. But these roads are still out there waiting to be explored, and we wish you the best in finding them!

Hello, I saw that your content quality and Thumbnail is also good. But, your channel is not Growing. Then, I analyzed and I saw that in your channel have some problems. That's why your channel is not growing. Mainly, you are not reaching to your targeted peoples, If you can solve these problems your channel will grow like a storm. Can I tell these problems? Can I tell here? Are you allow? And how are you? Want to know these problems? Hope you want!!
Soooo, what did you do with all the extra parts that came with the winch to relocate the control box? Asking because i need them 🤣🤣 I'm trying to relocate my control box but have none of the parts that came with the winch originally.
The good news is we probably still have those extra parts. The bad news is they all probably got integrated into our miscellaneous parts drawers so we would have no idea what was included! If you have an idea of what you need, we might be able to find it in the parts we have.
yep, that's what chinesium parts will do for you.
Yes. They are inexpensive and often functional (for a time), but I am as guilty as the next person who easily forgets that buying cheaply from abroad means buying our own country into obsolescence. Definite food for thought as we continue to modify this vehicle for self-supporting overland trips.
Thanks for joining us! Let us know if you have any questions about the installs or our experience with this bumper and winch. Can't wait to share where we are headed next!
Wow, those are some amazing views from up there!
Definitely! One more reason to go explore the Red River Gorge.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1
So glad you enjoyed it! The beauty of this place makes video creation that much easier.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. sub & 👍7
So glad you enjoyed it!
You two are the nicest people. Glad I got to talk with you at gas station Hartland michigan. On your way home from up north. Hopefully I'll meet again on trails.
I'll have my dog and she can meet Roo. Some day.
It was great to meet you as well! Here's hoping we meet again someday on the trails!
Thanks so much for watching! We will definitely need to go back here when we have a few friends along and time to tackle this entire trail.
your Dog said, We got this obstacle, what are y'all talking about.
It is amazing what confidence dogs can have in their people. She sure rides through the roughest of spots and comes out the other side smiling.
Just another scenic place in the Red River Gorge, with one very stubborn rock making it just that much more challenging! Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy.
That looked like an awesome trail. Do you guys usually just head down that way for a weekend here and there or is it usually longer stays
An awesome trail indeed. And traveling with good people just makes it even better! We both work full time, so our Kentucky trips are mostly long weekends. Every now and then we get the luxury of a longer adventure.
We are thinking about later this summer heading down for a weekend here and there. We both work full time also so I've been trying to get an idea if it was worth it to drive down Friday night after work.
We try to go on 3 day holiday weekends so we can get 2 days on trail, but if you are close enough to arrive in the area Friday night and spend all day Saturday on the trail, I would say it is still worth it.
We are in Columbiana County so it would be pretty late Friday
That is a bit further and would make for a late Friday. Although the Kentucky trails are beautiful, I think you might regret only having one day to enjoy them on a regular weekend.
I heard Chewbacca or a Bigfoot in this video.
Lol! Probably our little dog Roo. She makes some of the craziest sounds some days.
Looks like a great time ! Nice ride Robert ❤
Definitely a nice ride! Bill still keeps talking about it and how he wants to build our JT just like it.
Great job capturing the day and thanks for sharing! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! We enjoyed riding with you and would be happy to do so again.
You guys make it look easy 😮
It must be the magic of video...along with some pretty darn good drivers!
Beautiful. On my bucket-list.
Thank you! Definitely bucket-list worthy!
Which trail is this? I'm not seeing County Park Trail on the DBBB map, I must be missing it
Thank you for asking this. It caused me to reach out to some more resources to make sure I correct any wrong information. It is not listed by that name on the current DBBB map, and it appears I made an incorrect assumption that this was part of the DBBB rather than an unlisted local gem. This set of public roads is in the same geographical area as the DBBB. Very rarely we travel on tracks that are less traveled, hidden gems that could close with too much publicity or (careless) overuse. In those rare cases, we often choose not to list the names of the public road(s) or trails. We are just a tiny channel with minimal impact, but we still don't want to lead to a flood of people on fragile places. But these roads are still out there waiting to be explored, and we wish you the best in finding them!
Lol, ok. I get it, thanks
You just might want to check out the Menifee County area. Some nice trail there for sure.
I found another video on YT where someone had detailed instructions on how to get to this trail.
@@aeromechmike glad you found it. Enjoy!
