    Here it is 5:15 my home away from home for many years. I was hoping you would stop by. There was a horrendous
    flood in 1985. Cheat River and most of the roads and homes in the lower areas were washed away. It was very
    saddening to see it. Regards from Ody Slim

    I've climbed at Seneca Rocks. It's pretty awesome. Just north of there right near a trout fishery a natural spring comes right out of the mountain. I can't remember what road it's on though.

    I just wanted to compliment you both on creating such wonderful content while sharing your Overlanding adventures. I have been watching a lot of channels that are mostly west coast based and it has been great to see your wonderful trips in the Eastern part of the US. Living in NY, I sometimes wonder if Overlanding in the East is really possible, but you have shared some wonderful trips that make me excited to plan forward. Lastly, its great to see how you have kept the content very on point on what we all look forward to in our adventures as many other have turned in to commercial productions or call it another wish list of expensive gear reviews. I understand that you need to pay the bills, but keep up the great work and never forget what truly makes you happy.

      @JrKing I couldn’t agree more! Bill and Deb have remained true to their mission of providing quality footage and narration of the adventures. Many channels have turned into commercials or a transparent solicitation for funds . Lora and I are blessed to be able to call such genuine and humble people friends.

    I did a solo overland trip through much of the route you took in part 1 and 2 this past summer. My little nissan Xterra with 33s handled everything the route threw at me surprisingly well. a locking diff and deflated tires makes a big difference. Speaking of and correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you don't deflate your tires much, if at all. Any reason why? I was absolutely blown away at the difference in the ride quality and increase in traction when I first deflated my tires.
    If you ever plan on going back, I recommend Long Run Road off of route 612. The trailhead begins next to Gospel Hill Mennonite Church. I went to college in Shenandoah valley and spent a lot of time in those hills. There's a really fun down and back trail across some powerlines with great views, and lots of other trails you could spend all day exploring.
    Great video, thanks for sharing your journey

    • @CoddiwompleOverland
      @CoddiwompleOverland  3 года назад

      Thanks for watching. We were aired down to I think 20psi. You're right it does make a huge difference in the ride. Our tires are 10ply so they don't look like a 2 or 4 ply tire at the same pressure. Thanks for the recommendation on the trails too

    You folks took five days, but with my photography interest I think I’d be at least a couple of weeks, perhaps more as it’s so different than our Southern Arizona scenery. Water crossings must be an East coast thing as I’ve not seen many out here, then again we don’t have nearly the amount of rainfall.

What I do find are pieces of it, and it seems to be labeled under several different names. Have any recommendations & what do you use for navigation? Thanks in advance - Oh, and what the heck is a coddiwomple?
