- Come along as we explore Southeastern Tennessee in the Cherokee National Forest. We hit trails in the Tellico Plains and Citico Creek Areas before we find camp on Doublecamp Creek Rd. We also head to Witt Rd. to find some water crossing and hike to the Conasauga waterfall.

This is about 20 minutes from where I grew up! I always thought it was so magical there, thank Y'all for sharing this with everyone!
You grew up in a wonderful place for sure. We can’t wait to get back there. Thank you for sharing your experiences in this area.
We love our area. So beautiful!
It really is! You’re very lucky to live in an area with so much beauty! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
@@GetOverItOutdoors you’re welcome. ☺️
The fall foliage was beautiful, you all picked the perfect time for such an adventure.
I have to agree! It was timed perfectly! The colors were amazing. We had tried several seasons to hit the peak and missed. But last year we hit it right on the spot. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This place is amazing! My family and I have recently hit rock bottom and currently without a home. We've been camping here for 6 months with a broken down vehicle and my disabled mother who's in a wheelchair. Everyday might bring struggles especially with the colder weather but we are at peace and making memories honestly we're happier than ever! The creek provides us with most of the things we need. We will forever be grateful for this place!
It’s really is an amazing area of the country. We can’t wait to get back. Hope things turn around for you but the good memories will last forever. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Great to see your pup again! It looks like he really enjoys himself on these trips. Very good video btw!
Can't keep him out of the water. He loves every bit of it. He's definitely drained by the end of the trip and usually sleeps the whole way home to FL.
So relaxing! The soundtrack that you put to it is perfect. Captured the mood perfectly. Wonderful video!
Wow! Thank you so much! So glad you liked it and said it relaxed. That was kinda our goal.
It was very much relaxing. You nailed that goal perfectly
This video is so relaxing and peaceful. What a way to wind down this evening. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! That is our goal in most of our videos. We really wanna make it enjoyable and relaxing.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Excellent area for exploring.
Glad you enjoyed it! It truly is. We hit the leaf change almost perfect
You definitely hit the colors just right. Nice video!
I think we did too! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Love seeing Jeep trail camping videos, especially when the food prep is shown. Seems food tastes so much better when cooked over an open fire. Thanks for the video. Tellico area is such a beautiful place. We live close to there and love that area. Thanks, RT
Thank you and so glad you liked the video. We totally agree that the food tastes so much better cooked over a real fire. We have a lot to learn when it comes to cooking this way but we always enjoy the results. Thanks for commenting. It really helps our little channel.
That’s my go to area to seek adventure and peace
It is definitely a great place to explore! We absolutely loved it! Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@GetOverItOutdoors have you rode the Ga Traverse yet?
@@nate4036 yes we sure have. We have been on many different sections of it at different times over the past 3 or 4 years. A couple of our early videos highlight our travels on it. We have never been able to do the Tray Mtn. section of it though, always been closed.
Such beautiful footage!👌
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching and commenting.
That shot starting at 3:45 was incredible!!!
Thank you! I was trying something a little new for me with the drone. Kind of a slow reveal. Still learning different skills with it. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
WHOA!!! Awesome leaves-gorgeous. And there’s no dieting on these trips! 😋
Yes it was a great time of year!!! We never hold back on the food! It’s part of the experience!
Beautiful footage , I am in the process of building my overland truck . I plan on doing the TAT .
Thanks so much! That’s awesome! Doing the TAT is one of our goals one day! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
How Wonderful! Those trees are amazing. Your drone video from above captured it beautifully. Thanks for sharing
The drone really helps capture the full array of color the leaves are putting out. Thanks for commenting and watching.
Nice video! We rode some of these trails after the jeep Invasion. Cant wait to get back up there again, hopefully in the fall.
We love that area and the leaves were popping this time. Such a wonderful trip it was.
@GetOverItOutdoors absolutely I'm just a couple of hours south, so I just need to make the time to get up there.
This is another great video. Like how you all cook over the open fire for most of your meals.
Thank you! We're still learning the cooking process over the open fire but it sure is fun getting the hang of it.
Beautiful
Yes it was! We hit it perfect for the leaf change! Thanks for watching
Great video. The foliage color's were awesome, especially the drone shots 😆All the oveland video's I've watched for the past two years all overlanders through out the country cook/eat better than a 5 star restaurant. Of course we all need a wonderful, loving dog to accompany us on our journey
Thank you for all the kind words. So glad you liked the video. Unfortunately the next couple videos won't have any drone shots. I crashed it and had to have it repaired while I was taking a trip but it will soon be back in action. Yes we have a lot of fun eating good on our trips. We look at it as our vacations and splurge a little and try new things when it comes to our meals on these trips. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Fantastic drone work capturing the fall colors from above! Not to mention the road level views of the colors. I gotta start eating better on my CNF excursions...came for the Citico Creek scenery and stayed for the cooking lessons. Thanks for tagging some of the locations, I've already pulled the map out in anticipation of my Spring '23 visit to that area. New sub! Looking forward to get acquainted with your channel.
Thank you so much! So glad you liked the video. Yes we hit the color change almost perfectly and we loved this area we had never been before. We will definitely be back to explore it more. Thanks for watching, subbing , and commenting!
My mouth is watering! I’m so hungry now! Thanks a lot! Just kidding! Another great video!
Hahaha! Aimee planned some awesome meals this trip and everything turned out amazing. Thanks for watching again
Beautiful colors, of the foliage and the food! Your videos are always educational and entertaining, good job!
Thanks so much! It was the perfect time of year. Glad you enjoyed it!
👍
Very nice video, I really enjoyed it. Have been in the area many times. Planning to go back soon.
Thank you! So glad you liked it. It was a wonderful trip and the leaf change was beautiful! Good luck when you make your way there again!
Just WOW! Those leaves were amazing in those drone shots!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. The leaves were so beautiful. We hit it perfect
Loved the Video! So wonderful seeing the colors in those leaves. And what a beautiful campsite
Yes we lucked out on this campsite. It was even clean. We didn't have to pick up trash at this one. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very cool. Just a tip, I highly recommend wearing hats when walking through the woods. Ticks will drop from the trees above and Lime disease is a horrible thing to contract. Great video, and keep roaming the hills!
Thanks for the recommendation. So glad you liked the video and thanks for watching and commenting!
Those leaves are glorious!!! Great drone work! Let see more! Keep up the great work.
Yes they were absolutely beautiful! I was so happy with how some of the drone footage captured it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
We love the Cherahola Skyeay this time of year. You captured it wonderfully! Great video!!
Thank you for your kind words. Yes the Skyway is a great road to travel this time of year
This was the best fall color in a decade in the tristate region from Ellijay to Ocoee to Telico to Murphy/Bryson City to Dahlonega
It’s sure was beautiful. Some of the best we’ve ever seen.
Great video. I have added it to my list of trails to do when I get out there in April. Thank you for the campsite coordinates, too.
So glad you liked it and thanks for always returning to our channel and commenting. The campsite is great I don't think you'll be disappointed and there are 3 or 4 more good ones within a mile or 2 of this one. Thanks again for watching!
Hello again! Beautiful drone footage! Love how you give the coordinates to the campsite. We have gotten criticized about doing that a couple of times, but we like to provide that info! Enjoyed the adventure! 💙Terry and Terri
Thank you again. Yeah we've been criticized a lot too for giving out campsite info. but I think it's good info to get people to spread out and not hammer the popular sites that everyone knows so hard. Glad you liked the drone shots. Really been trying some new stuff with it.
@@GetOverItOutdoors Definitely doing a great job! We are always trying to find new shots as well.. We don't have the necessary drone license so we are trying other things... ;-)
Fall is my favorite season. I hope me and my mom can take a trip to see the leaves change one of these coming Falls
I'm sure you'll get there one of these days. You have to. You won't be disappointed.
Excellent video. Great thing about watching video that are under 1000 subs is no commercials...lol. Keep it up, love your channel !
Thank you for the tip. I had no idea. Great info. heading forward in future videos. Thanks for always checking out our videos. This whole trip this time I planned after watching your videos and camping reviews of Citico Creek and your North River Rd camp spots reviews.
You guys are doing a great job.
Thanks so much!!! Glad you’re enjoying them!
I was just there a couple days ago camped it North River number one!
We loved that area! We were in this the Blue Ridge WMA camping this week!
Great stuff. My wife and I just completed a No Camping Overlanding trip in the Asheville area and timed the foliage change just perfect. I documented our quick 4 day trip on my channel and showcased the fact that we stayed away from the Blue Ridge Parkway and found a couple of incredible "fall off road areas" like Outdoor in the Smokies, Hurricane Creek, and Molly Gap. Love your content brother. God Bless
That’s awesome! We’ll sure to check your channel and video of that trip. The best experiences are almost always off the beaten path. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Amazing edit. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and you’re getting better each time. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the compliment. I'm tryin! Good to here some positive feedback on the edits.
Fantastic video! Loved seeing the color vibrancy of fall & the sights. Y’all make it look so easy from the cooking to the video editing! Maybe one day…😉
Glad you enjoyed it! We hit the leaves just about perfect this time. Hope you can come along one day!
Looks like our lab, never far away when there’s food. 😂 Great fall colors
Yes, food is always the first thing on his mind. What’s your labs name? Thanks for watching and commenting
Oh I just love these videos. Would love to know how you find your trails. Will be in that area in August for the Jeep Invasion
Thanks so much! So glad you liked the videos. We just watch a LOT of RUclips and compare a several different videos of the same areas and pick up clues (trail signs, landmarks, street signs, towns they say their close too) from each one. It’s kinda like piecing together a puzzle. Then I take info to GaiaGps and Google Earth and do some searching.
You cooked over an open fire and that gets a subscribe from me!
LOL! We try to where open fires are allowed! Thanks so much for Subbing!
I go to camp 14 alot
Very nice! We love the area! Thanks for commenting and watching!
The egg shells in the fire pit is considered litter. Just a gentle reminder for next time.
Thank you sir
Cool video
Thank you! Appreciate that!
Wait are you Michael Steele's teacher?
@@FranchiseBros I sure am! ☺️
He's actually my friend but I had to move from Florida to South Carolina
You all did it again! Great video! Where was your son this time? I’m guessing school.
Yes our boy Cole had school. I'm sure he'll be along in the next adventure. He loves it and has been begging to get his Jeep to the mountains. So be on the look out for that
Incredible footage! The color of the leaves as you drove was amazing! What kind of drone did you use?
Thanks so Much! We hit the leaf change just right! The drone is just the original Mavic Mini. It does the job. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Another great video! What were some of the trails that you thought were open but found closed when you got to them. Trying to plan my on route there.
North River Rd. and all roads that access it were closed for maintenance. I had planned to camped on North River Rd. so that's what sent us to Citico Creek and Doublecamp Creek.
Have you ever tried Maddog trail in that area? Great video!
No we haven't!!! That was one the trails we wanted to hit most but it was closed. It connects to North River Rd. and that entire road is closed for maintenance, so they closed all roads that connect to it also.
Who makes the griddle you were cooking the eggs on?
It’s made by Lodge. I have a link to it in the videos description if that makes it easier to find. Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful video, looks like a great time. Do you record your tracks, willing to share the route for this video?
I'm sorry I unfortunately don't have a files to share. I'm still learning Gaia GPS and how to make a usable track for downloading. BUT, I will try and give you most of the trails we traveled that I remember. We entered the area from the south on River Rd. and stayed on that til we got to the Cherohala Hwy. (pavement). We stayed on that going east til we got to Indian Boundary Rd. We then stayed on that it we found Doublecamp Creek rd. Doublecamp Creek Rd. has quite a few dispersed campsite along it and that is where we camped. We did backtrack a bit the next day and found Witt Rd. That was a fun trail with quite a few water crossings. Hope the is helps.
How does the fold out table that props onto the tire work for you? That looks like a good idea.
We love it! Very easy to setup and we’re always looking for more table space to set things that is off the ground and this really works out well.
do you guys have a direct location of the trail your on in the beginning of the video? awesome content
I believe it is Davis Creek Rd. i’m sorry that I missed your comment somehow and I’m so late to respond. Hope this helps
Can you please help me understand how you find these trails? Also, I'm looking for Davis creek road that's in the beginning of your video and it looks like its asphalt on google maps. Am I missing something? Thanks! great videos
Thanks so much. If is the Davis Creek Rd north of Murphy that's the right one. It may start off paved but then turns to gravel. Heading north to the NC/TN border it meets River Rd. along the Tellico river. I find them kinda like what you're doing right here. I watch a LOT of RUclips and take the clues and hints from other channels and try and piece them all together and get a general area I want to explore from there. Once there I try to hit as many trails and side spur roads as I can and see where they lead. Hope this helps. thanks for commenting.
Can you please post the music for this video!
I think this is all of the song titles. Tidewaves, How Far Can We Go, For Far Too Long, Tidewaves (again), Just the Banjo, Into the Forest. Hope this helps and thank you for watching.
By the way, since your not making money on RUclips, you could split your video's to 5-7 minutes and post more frequently and you'll get more subs faster. Just schedule the videos out.
More great info.! Keep it coming. I didn't know any of this. Thanks so much!
How were those trails? Nothing to technical it didn’t look like? Do you think a Outback could do them?
Yes, none of these trails were technical hardly at all. Most were just graded gravel roads. the water crossings on Witt road was as bad as it got. Thanks for watching and commenting.
