Thanks, I'm, way behind posting videos. Following us is the best way to see the latest vids.

Yeah it was pretty sloppy and took some control to stay out of that rut!

Glad you liked it, the first half was really over 4hrs.

This is the harder and correct direction. The other way is less travelled and you run the risk of meeting others with no real room to turn around on this hill.

@@naturesglorycabin3792that’s the vibe I got about the direction-looking forward to going the more challenging way

Our pleasure. Hopefully we can do it again sometime.

Thanks, the day was just too long to try to make one video. Merry Christmas!

Next time I go left and follow your path instead of trying to go the way I did. Hung up on my skid plate. Embarrassing! At least I didn’t have to winch out. 😂

No worries, it's all in good fun and with a group we'll always get you out.

Always a great day for a ride or 5.

Thanks, I think it's important especially when they are publicly accessible.

NO problem, More to come!

It can get much tougher if you go the other way.

Yeah, he was behind me most of the day. Told me he came to meet us and of course for the meet. great guy.

The Toyota wave huh? lol, thanks Mark!

What the wave wasnt to me?

@@naturesglorycabin3792 of course it was!

I had done this trail one other time in this direction and didn't notice all the off shoots. From the other direction you just drive it out. But it is much harder in the other direction.

Yeah, it was definitely an adventure!

Yeah, it is pretty cool.

Yeah, I was going to try to tackle it myself, glad I didn't.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive. Thanks.

It's not too bad in this direction but this was an easy ride with several stock vehicles that did drag over a few spots. The other way is markedly harder.

We had some stockers that needed a little more direction.

I thought it was cool too.

Apparently the JLs wiring is different due to the electronics.

Yep, it looks lie the rock climb may come back over time when the dirt gets washed out from between the rocks. What surprised me most is that after doing all of that the left all those deep holes on the ridgeline.

Whenever you're ready, give us a shout and we'll arrange it!

Most of it was, the downed tree not so much.

It can be very rough unless you have good tires small lift and at least one traction device, preferably 2.

Yeah it's gotten tougher over time and wet just adds to the difficulty.

@@naturesglorycabin3792 Just got back from a weekend down there. So much rain from Wed-Friday! We did Sinking Creek Friday and I just couldn't make that obstacle at the 6-7 minute mark on Sinking Creek. I also had to winch at the end of the trail where it makes that sharp turn uphill to the left onto New Virginia. I was locked F/R but only on 32s. My companions were on 35's and 37's and made it up after a few attempts without winching. Finished well after dark...fun trail to explore!

Yeah it's pretty tough on anything less than 35s. I had done it in the past on 33s with the old TJ, I'm no are I could do it on 33s anymore without winching either. I just did it Sunday in the JL on 37s and I had more trouble than usual myself, but I did get up after a couple of tries an the beginning and took several on the last one.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Stock wranglers and most anything with less than 33s and at least on traction device have lots trouble on Sinking Creek. Youn are almost any stock 4x4 cn do the route you are talking about.

Yes there is a gate you could drive up to the last time (last year) I was up there. Yes you can walk up, I have no idea how long the walk is.

Yeah, it's fun but a long drive from the Slade area. Old Fincastle is fun too. This weekend Fri & Sat is the Annual Meet & Greet ride. Looks like there will be about 300 rigs all over the area. May be more congestion on the trails than you want.

@@naturesglorycabin3792 who puts that on?

Ohio River Four Wheelers. It has a facebook page and a web address Fb- Meet and Greet Ride, or web - www.meetandgreetride.com/

Glad you enjoyed it, mud is always "fun" and the wetter the more challenging.

Glad it was good timing for you. When you coming back out?

@@naturesglorycabin3792 wife has been traveling a lot. Gotta take care of her kids. Be out VERY soon I hope!

Ravens overlook and picnic point in Hollerwood, which is a fee area

@@naturesglorycabin3792 ok I thought Ravens overlook you can technically drive up to, but doesn't appear that's there's room to actually get the get out on the rock for a photo opp for example. Looks like you drive up and physically walk out from the trail to the overlook. That's why I was initially so interested in No Mans Overlool cause you could drive out actually on the overlook edge, until that got ruined apparently. Not sure about the picnic point in Hollerwood.

You can park very close, there is a loop to turn around. Walk to overlook is maybe 20 yards. Yes you can walk to on it or photos.

I think the overlook you are referring to is "No Man's" overlook off of Fixer/Lairson. Access to the overlook was blocked to vehicles the last time I was up there but you could drive to the base in and out. You could still walk up to the overlook. I have heard from one person that the entrance at the creek had a cable across it. I haven't verified this, but if it is you can't see it from Fixer/Lairson. I believe I have a video that has this (No Man's) in & out and another called Raven's overlook.

@@naturesglorycabin3792 OK thanks I will look more into this. I would like to get the jeep out on that overlook if possible and honestly, I don't want to waste a trip down there if I can't get to it. I actually sent you an email prior to your response so you may see that it has the exact coordinates and a reference video from another person on it if you want to check the nature glory email

Using the "Official" Back country byway map is where I get these names. One is crowd sourced and there for can be unpredictable. If you need a guide to show you. Let me know when you are around and hopefully I can show you the way. New Virginia ridge road does go for some reason in the directions I show. Yes it does "Start" at another point at the end of Sinking creek on the water. It can be confusing especially if you have not ran these trails before. Sinking creek is not on the Back country byway but does run adjacent for quite a bit to it.

Yes it was

Yeah, I made the mistake so hopefully you won't.

You meant the toyota's keeping up ...sometimes....with the Jeeps.

Ya noticed they had me go through what they thought may be deep water? It was fun I don't care what you drive it's all about the fun.

This particular video is old in relation to the current condition of the trail, for example a wood bridge is now over the creek where we had to go down into and up the creek to cross. The official Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway map is available on cartotracks.com and runs on the aveza app for both Android and iOS.

Have fun. Like I always say don't go alone especially of you are unfamiliar. You never know what can happen. I'd with you but I'm committed to a pre-ride for the Nov 1st Meet & Greet ride.

Yeah, you definitely need to plan to do more when you drive this far or stay closer. Glad you liked it.

It was fun but a long day for little trail on this day.

My camera is mounted lower on the rear and show a better perspective, dash caber not so much. Do you have front & rear lockers limited slip? Sinking creek can be rough!

@@naturesglorycabin3792 Center diff lock, no fronts or rears, but I'm up for the challenge and if worse comes to worse, got a wrench

Alrighty, we can give it a try!

I was so fun I broke Muddy Blue!

@@naturesglorycabin3792 definitely a sad part. Is it fixed yet?

I have to call the guy today, but it should be.

It was muddy and made it harder too. Yes I've seen several of the OHV plates.

Glad you liked it, my intent is to show how to get there & back, show short entertaining sections of trails I've done many times and more detailed versions of new trails I had not previously covered. Glad you liked it!

Yes it can, glad you enjoyed the show!

Yes we regularly take folks around the backcountry byway. We use the Facebook Page to coordinate all of that. Nothing formal.

I did a little at the spring dbbb meet and more on the last day. "Most" of the southern expansion, although scenic there is a lot of gravel & blacktop. There are 3 or 4 harder trails of varying difficulty depending on weather, Ross/Pistol Creek, Rader ridge, Herdes Spring Rd and another I can't remember. We have done Ross/Pistol Creek & Rader Ridge. Depending on where you stay it can be a long drive to get the the southern expansion. We stayed at Callies just outside of Stanton and it took over an hour to get to the trails. There are other campgrounds at the southern end, Turkeyfoot, S-Tree to name a couple. As far as airing up. Most of the cheaper compressors start to lose efficiency after the first tire and get worse the longer you use them.. However if Money is an issue(ain't it always!) start out how you can and work your way up as you can. I use the MoorflateTenSix with the 4way air/up/down tool. I ran the others myself until I was able to step up. It is not cheap. I can air up or down in about 10 minutes 35>18down & 18>35 up. Thanks for watching our videos.

After the fact I should have had you closer to me so I could have directed you better. Glad you all had fun, that's what it's all about.

We started with midland GMRS and didn't have great success. The seem on not every occasion not transmit after 4-5 hours. So we switched to Tidradio amzn.to/3zfYogc they are usb rechargeable and com with 2 radios and 2 extra batteries. We still have the Midlands we loan out to folks that don't have a radio.

@@naturesglorycabin3792 awesome thank you. I’ve used basic two ways for trails when we’re all close but for long road trips and convoys or high speed riding I want something with better range.

Most GMRS's are good for about a mile on open country, much less when in the mountains.
