Back in 2019 while I was in the hospital my son introduced me to RUclips, it did not take me long to gravitate towards the overland community. Being from Arkansas you Ozark Overland adventures I found very early on. Now I have a list of most look forward to seeing a new video. You and Brad from Trailrecon are my favorites both of you are great communicators and Excellent Videographers, third that Mexican cooking guy from out in California, awesome. next the van lifers with Forest Forest with 2 channels: then Living The Van Life; Van Camping, oh we can’t forget Fast Rack Overland & Dome Life; For my vehicle electrical I look to Will Prower & HOBOTECH, Minute Man Prep. I was on my 2end Land Rover Defender till my son stole it from me, a 1993 LHD defender 110 3 door diesel 5 speed all tricked out with a Headspace roof tent on 37’s. Oh well at least someone is enjoying it. At 10 years old my father bought me a 1947 Willis jeep for $100. That was in 1960. I have not been the same ever since. Boy Scout, Ham Radio Operator, Private & Commercial Pilot, U.S.Marine, survivalist, Prepper. Now disabled.
Matt, I've stated before that I started my little for fun channel jeepNdirt to slowly start building a library of videos that focus at times around "no camping overlanding". This trail fits that category very well and thanks for sharing. I have a condition called "roemheld syndrome" that at times doesn't allow me to camp on these types of trips and limits me when I can camp. I want to share content that shows folks with certain restrictions, handicaps, etc. that aren't restricted from traveling in a vehicle like a jeep how they too can get out there and enjoy the outdoors on trails like this where they can get the experience without the having to camp. This trail is really awesome and I'm adding that to my list of places to visit in the future. Another great video my friend, God Bless you for being inspiring to so many people.
Beautiful trail! Glad it's reopened. The point you made about shoes got me to thinking. All the "must have" overlanding videos I've seen never mention footwear. Seems a minimum of three types of footwear should be in your kit. These little gems of wisdom are why we enjoy your videos so much.
The water there is always so glacial looking. What makes it that beautiful cloudy blue? Love these kinds of outings. Hope to experience it sometime soon.
Its hard to get a sense of the scale of those falls, but they seem to be anazingly beautiful. Close enough to get there within a reasonable time - would love to them in-person. Great vid!!!
Matt...after seeing this I feel like I now really need to plan a trip back to the Ozarks!! My brother and I spent 10 days there last Spring and loved it. The ONF has to be the premier OL area East of the Rockies and is def better than many areas in the CO area! Gorgeous trail and falls!
Matt starts driving up a creek. running through my head: Yeah Matt, I have been on a couple trails that the first clue you have that you are no longer on a trail is when you find a tree between the two tracks you thought you were following. :)
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures my bad, I guess miss it. We love you guys videos and we subscribe to your channel. We also have a RUclips channel Matt. It’s called D&M Adventures from Mountain Home. Anyways, thanks, David.
I’m going from a full size dodge diesel 8 foot bed 4x4 with slide in truck camper to something smaller with roof top tent. What’s your opinion about the armadillo ? I have been watching all the videos and watching the ground clearance on entry and exit. What’s a good wheel base and reliability. I’m a fabricator and can make just about anything and I have some friends that have full time rock crawlers. The jeeps are expensive. The Tacomas are reasonable but I would like to build a salvage. My friend has a body shop. The Colorados are dime a dozen for salvage. This will be used mainly for camping only with little off toad. The only off road will be in south eastern Kentucky. So far your videos are worth 3 beers per video. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I live in north central Arkansas (Ozark area) Bull Shoals lake I've got me a Chevy Blazer S10 a 99 sound like you have a lot of fun I would love to do some off-road trail riding sometime I used to do it when I lived in Illinois I like to get back into it may God be with you on your trips and with your family
I just noticed you have the Anvil Overland Dash Bar. I installed one of these about 6months ago and love it. What holder are you using for your handheld radio?
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures i absolutely love mine, I went back and forth between the Anvil Overland and the competition and I’m extremely happy with my decision! Looking forward to your video on it
You guys are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I'm in NJ and it would prob take me an hour to get somewhere that looks like that..but I do have the beachcand the ocean so I can't complain too much. Love your videos and your rigs. 😁
What brand are the pants you where? They look perfect for overlanding/outdoor and you wear them a lot. We love your fam and content/photography. 👍👍👍👍👍. Super helpful

Yes I want to go!!
That’s the best way to be greeted. Dogs are awesome!
So good to see Ben in a video again! Miss you guys already, hope all is well.

I just wear sandals year round. 😂
Well spainhour falls and trail is definitely on my to do list for 2023. May take my wife there in March.
My brother and I drove up to Spainhour falls early November. Very nice! I didn’t know the road had been closed.
Awesome I’m so glad it’s back,open. FYI aspen falls is easy,Lucy falls…well let’s just say it’s a bit of a challenge lol. Great video.
The water there is always so glacial looking. What makes it that beautiful cloudy blue?
Love these kinds of outings. Hope to experience it sometime soon.
Thanks!! It’s minerals in the water.
Limestone rocks....

The matching hoodies 😂😂
Beautiful

im getting carsick right now just watching her read that book. Thats hardcore reading on a bumpy road. lol
🤷🏽♀️ I got skills.
Great day spent with the family love it
Just beautiful
That would be amazing in the fall with all the colors
Did this trail this past weekend. It was beautiful!
" you're not even looking at it".
I laughed. Sounds like me and my kinds many years ago. Haa.
😂😂
I'll have to add that to my list of places to check out!
Ok the matching hoodies for Cara and Goose are awesome 😊
Right?!
Great video and sometimes you just have to eat that crow lol 😂
That last trail ended up being more work than fun, don’t blame y’all for turning around.
I told him…
Love the video 🎉
Matt starts driving up a creek.

Oh man!! 2WD Toyota Tacoma power. Yeah man!! Hope your FRIEND is one cool cat with a cat 🐈
spanhour looks awsome
Hey Matt, according to Arkansas Waterfalls book by Tim Ernst. The second waterfall you went to is called Lucy Falls, I believe.
Lucy was on that sign I pointed out in the video before we got to Spainhour. Lucy is up a different drainage with Aspen Falls.

How close to the end before turning around? If it was dryer, do you think you could have bulled through?
Not very close.
Going for sure.
Love the topography and the water crossings.
Beautiful trail. (& great to see Goose! Haven’t seen him much recently)
I live local to this, I hit this trail a few times a month

Looks like a amazing place and I’m definitely adding this to my list to visit this year, maybe after the Moore Expo😁

I need to check this out someday...
I just noticed you have the Anvil Overland Dash Bar. I installed one of these about 6months ago and love it. What holder are you using for your handheld radio?
Yep. I'm about to do a video on it. Everything in there is from Anvil. I'm just waiting on my tablet mount.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures i absolutely love mine, I went back and forth between the Anvil Overland and the competition and I’m extremely happy with my decision! Looking forward to your video on it

So this is an unmaintained road? I wonder if you could organize a cleanup for that? I want to see whats beyond where you had to turn around 😅
There are not to many places you guys go that I would love to do, but alas my bus needs some work before it will be trail ready again.
Hi, I'm Dusty Benham. Love your RUclips. This one is Awesome. I'm catching the bug to do this also with a Humve.
What brand are the pants you where? They look perfect for overlanding/outdoor and you wear them a lot. We love your fam and content/photography. 👍👍👍👍👍. Super helpful
Revolution Race from Amazon. I love them!! amzn.to/3kcLRCp
Looks amazing place I want to take my kids to camp at somepoint
We hope to see you guys in Flagstaff in May at the Overland Expo. ?
We can't make it to Expo West. My middle daughter's graduation is the same weekend. We will be at PNW for sure!!
What a beautiful spot. Thanks for taking us along. Where exactly is this?
Are the routes for that trail available? Would be a great day trip with my son
Yes sir!!
Great vid! Which overhead molle panel is that in the Switchback? I've been looking at getting one.
Thanks for brining us along. But how'd you color your hair like that?
Thanks! I have someone that does it for me.
How do y’all like the milestar Patagonia m/t? I’m looking at either those or the x/t they have.
We love them!! They are the new MT02 version. The XTs are really sweet if you don't need a mud tire.
Hi Matt, I’m somewhat new to off-roading and would love some suggestions for easier off-road trails in NWA and the ozarks area!
The area around White Rock Mountain is close to you and very beautiful. Highly recommend.
Doesn't look like old growth forest. What is the history as far as use of that land? Logging?
Definitely logging at some point.
what layers do you use on the gaia map?
Gaia Overland and MVUM Overlay are my two primary. I also have Public Lands and ATT Cell coverage as well.
Love the video Matt and love seeing cara and Ben. What rock sliders are you using for your gladiator
Ace Engineering. They work with the factory Rubi rails for double protection.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures we traded our 2013 rubicon jku in and got a gladiator rubicon and trying to find upgrades right now is tuff lol. Thank you
So has the radio that you dropped in the water still holding up? I ask cause I have the same one just curious how waterproof it is. 🤣
Yep. Still working.
told you so when you had a chance to turn around
Yes Dear, you know best
Where did you get the hood decal?
stickyvinylz.com/
Where is this? I am pretty sure this is close to where we go 4WD when we go out.
Nevermind. My son-in-law was out there the week after you guys were. I will be there soon!
Where is this at I want to go
Iam first!!!!good video!
What rear view mirror is in the JL?
You mean the JK? Not sure. It’s fancy. Lol
So will my 03 F150 fit on that trail or would it be too wide?
It could make it.
Have y'all ever saw Bigfoot out there
Bigfoot is camera shy.
Bigfoot was spotted at Rendezvous in the Ozarks
but he said calling him bigfoot was politically incorrect and goes by Arkansquatch
Something I've noticed watching your videos... Cara sounds like a native of Arkansas but you don't. Are you a transplant?
😂😂😂 Cara grew up in a small town and graduated with 42 others. I grew up in Little Rock and went to an all boys private school. 🤷🏼♂️
He’s a city slicker.. I’m a true Southerner.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures my graduating class was 50.
Matt, you do an excellent job filming and editing your trips and I really appreciate it.
I appreciate that!
