- Watch as BackRoadsBound and friends explore some backroads in Tennessee to find some not so technical but oh so cool glimpses into the past. When your weekend starts by camping at a state park as nice as Vogel you know it's going to be awesome and with this group of friends it's just good for the soul.
Don't you think it's time you put up some more videos? Great content and beautiful scenery.
Why Yes. Yes we do. Unfortunately life has gotten in the way as it can do sometimes. But good Lord willing we will be able to get back to it soon thanks so much for watching and asking it truly means a lot to the both of us. So please stay tuned and safe travels to you and yours. Thanks again
Subbed thank you will be checking this out...here in western carolina. love riding hope to cross paths you all good people...thank you
Thank you. Safe Travels
Quite the trip and quite the trail.
Those structures out there are incredible that they built them way back when.
We agree for sure. I think that seeing those structures in that location stands as a reminder of the adversity that generation overcame to build a better life which has benefited us all. Loved this ride.
Just a side note - spring time bass and trout fishing is pretty good in the lake there. :)
That’s awesome thanks so much for the info
man i need to get my diesel gladiator to run a adventure with you guys!!! How many jeeps does it take to escort a toyota up a trail?!? Ive been on that road. love the history of the huge water pipes through the mountains. lots more trails back there! The pipes from that power plant have a trail system that is really cool.
Well this time it took 5. But I hope she never reads this response to your post. I would never live it down if I ever needed her to winch me out. Hehe
@@wearebackroadsbound all in good fun 😂 I had a tundra before the gladiator so I saw it on both sides.
Could i tag along sometime in my 2023 Tacoma off road truck? I just moved back home to live near kingspoet, tn after living for oastv33 years in richmond, va. U want to learn the offroad trails in east tennessee and western nc that I can go have fun driving on.
There is a guy from kingsport, TN who has a forest green gladiator that also has same bed rack and tent set-up. His truck has bigfoot decals on it.
We would love to have others join us that is always part of the fun. Unfortunately given our work schedule we never really know when we might have an opportunity to go so it can be very spur of the moment. If you want to send me your location and the trail that is near you that we could ride we will try to plan something for sure
Looks like some nice camping! Love the babbling brook... Beautiful exploring! Oh, the work they had to do back in the day - I definitely agree with that.... You found the Lost Creek - so cool! LOL Enjoyed exploring with you guys!! 💙Terry and Terri
It was a fun day. We wish that we had more time to video more of Vogel State park but didn’t want to impose on our group and take up to much of their time while we filmed. Definitely a logistical issue we hope to get better at and find a happy medium. Hope all is well with y’all have a great week.
What’s the name of the stream in the video?
The spill way actually has a pipeline in it that feeds the water to the powerhouse
Went looking for this and ended up at the powerhouse -- where is the spillway/concrete ruins?
I will try to get some coordinates for you
Did you guys hit McFarland rd in Turtle Town Tn???
Yes we did
Anyone have gps tracks for this?
I’m sorry but we didn’t lead this run and so no track was made.
Can anybody ride that trail?
As far as I’m aware it is open for public travel
Location?
Sorry I don’t have the coordinates but the road name is correct. Hope you can locate it that way it was really cool to see.
Hey guys it’s DADGUM gladiator. Had some issues with Instagram so I deleted my page and have yet to restore it. Glad to see y’all are still out there. The McFarland area is in my back door. Very cool place. If you still have my number I sent you give me a shout sometime
Absolutely we were wondering if all was okay with you and yours glad everything is fine and we will give you a call soon.
@@wearebackroadsbound yes everything is great. Sounds good my friend
We are considering heading to Florida for the expo in March. If it looks like y’all might be heading that way as well let us know, but no matter what we need to get together and go ride sometime soon.
@@wearebackroadsbound definitely gotta get together and ride sometime for sure. We are headed to outer banks in March for spring break. Rented a house on the beach with the other couple that was with us when we met you guys. Gonna do some sand riding and might even camp in our tents on the beach a night or two
Outer Banks is awesome. We will keep in touch and ride together for sure. Safe travels until then.
