Wow, those were some crazy water crossings. Seems like we saw more water than dry land in this one! I would be afraid to drive them without walking them, but even walking them looks daunting, LOL. Great episode!
haha i was going pretty slow in the first clip because it was a little muddy and i didn't want to fall in a hole. once i came out of the straight where the 2nd clip of the van starts that water was so clear i could see it was deep but not crazy. i'd go deeper than this but definitely not more flow.
yea it’s pretty intense, i try to never have mounted stuff (these crossings were too long to not though!) and like Ballard Road took almost 7hrs to film. i always think i hate it and “this is my last video like this!” but when i get home and start editing it’s all worth it. if you’re going to get a tripod buy it nice or buy it twice (thrice in my case 🙄), i’ve been using the MeFOTO Roadtrip and it saves me so much time per shot it’s crazy. plus i’ve had it bouncing around, leveraged by the camera, wedged in cracks, stuff falling on it and it keeps going. never thought i’d care so much about a tripod and thought the prices were insane but after using 2 $30 units it’s clear this thing is a perfect balance of cost and quality. thanks for watching!
I've wanted to try this one for a while but was nervous about the depth of the water crossing. Especially with the snowmelt this summer. Might have to try it in the fall. Thanks for sharing!
by then it’ll be open to the top too, i might do Part 2 when it’s open but not sure if it’ll be too short. maybe just put it after the shot in another video.
This is the exact trail you need to drive for the 4WD trailhead if you want to take the West Route for Missouri Mountain 14er. Seeing as this video was taken in July or earlier, river waterflow should be substantially less onward until the winter. Thanks for the video! It gives me some perspective.
There's really good trout fishing at Clohesy lake at the top of this trail. Also a great camping spot among some huge boulders on the Huron side of the lake.
@@BRollOffroad Yeah, it looked awesome! I'm heading out to West Virginia next month and I'm hoping to see stuff even close to as epic as this. We'll have to see what video I can come back with, haha. Thanks for sharing!
dang, got back from VA last night where there was no sleep to be had for the whole week, i just woke up and it’s 10:30! my buddy is visiting from NY so i’m camping with him this weekend, i’ll keep you posted where we end up!
@@BRollOffroad good luck with that! Looking forward to that video. I myself have started a channel with a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 and a Range Rover classic.
There is a trail there? I was camping along there a few weeks ago and looking for somewhere to off road. If you follow the main road to the end at winifeld there is more off roading but all that was closed from the avalanches. I never knew about this one, looks like a really fun trail.
trailsoffroad even mentions how hard it is to find, we only found it because it popped up on the Garmin when we drove by. i’ve seen this trail online before but didn’t know this was it until we got there. pleasant surprise!
yea it’s an avalanche chute, must happen a lot here because all of the borders have young trees. you can really tell looking at the left side at 3:55, bunch of fresh green babies. what’s amazing and this video doesn’t even portray is that river is 20-30 feet down, that slide went up that steep hill just to get to the trail and then blew out the other side for another 150-200 feet up a hill. must’ve been loud!
it’s actually a U-Joint Offroad (out of North Carolina) kit that my buddy installed, they’re much more capable than the other ones. thanks for watching!
it’s a rock bottom, nothing is destroyed, water is same color before and after. it also gets seasonal floods (and avalanches) that completely change the landscape more than our soft, aired down, rubber tires ever will, i promise. i appreciate the concern but we’re not just driving up and down the river doing burnouts tearing stuff up, we respect the land and stay the trail, this one just happens to cross a river in a very select area where it’s been deemed acceptable.
@@BRollOffroad That's good to know, I think off-roading is super fun as long as it doesn't destroy the environment because it already has a lot of stress on it as it is
Nice! This really captures the creek crossings. Excellent video. I haven't seen the avalanche remains like this before. Wow!
thanks and yea it was wild! my buddy in the van went up 2-3wks later and helped clear the trail with CORE 👍

always get hyped when I see B Roll pop up in my notifications!
awesome, thanks for checking ‘me out!
Very nice.I appreciate the effort it takes to set up those shots. I do static camera road videos but have often wanted to do setups as well.

I know I write this every time you post a drive but your stuff is just fantastic!
thank you so much, appreciate you here every time!
That looks to be a really fun trail. Great footage.
thank you and yea it was! when my buddy went back there a week after he said the water was much higher.
Man, I LOVE offroad vans!!
haha me too, been trying to convince him to do a Big Foot livery 😂

sweet thanks for checking it out! i found you from a comment you made (can't remember what video) but have been looking to get into panning.
your content is always worth waiting for by the way.

nice! i haven’t done any fishing here yet but seems like everyone is trying to get me involved haha.
This is awesome, I need to make one of these videos
you should, it’s a lot of fun!
Awesome as usual!
one of my faves in awhile, thanks for watching!

👍Nice shots looks fun , we still in route to CO bout 2 hrs from Trinidad

@@BRollOffroad ok sounds good. imma try make it up towards monument area find camp. Just let me know we'll b around.
Great video!
thanks! wish we could've seen the lake but i'm going to try and get up there some time in the future.
@@BRollOffroad good luck with that! Looking forward to that video. I myself have started a channel with a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 and a Range Rover classic.
@@greenlane7627 these dummies put this comment in the Likely Spam folder! i'll check it out, have fun!
Keep that bow wave moving! Great video!
haha thanks, you're really hammering these vids out! glad you like 'em so much!

What's up with all the downed trees? Landslide? Great content as always!!!

@@BRollOffroad just amazing! Can't wait to come back again in October!
Did the avalanche debris stop you from getting to the lake?
yea, CORE ended up there a week or two later and opened the trail. going to have to reshoot this one.
Did I spy a Quigley van :) I always wanted one someone needs to build a log cabin

Thanks for subscribing to our measly little channel! 😁🤙🏾😁🤙🏾 lets get together and wheel some time!
sure! 2.5yrs ago i had 5 subs, it grows exponentially as you go. added a few of your vids to my Watch Later too 👍
I dont want that van. I NEED that van!
haha it’s quite a process but there’s a kit from U-Joint Offroad.
Such a beautiful place destroyed by 4 wheelers driving in the river and making all the water muddy and unlivable for native trout.

i agree! we do our best, always picking up trash etc. i try to stay on the right side of things 👍 have fun!
