    Just put a salmon filet on the smoker that will be my dinner for 2 nights. I've got most everything packed. After I put the little one down for his nap I will go back through my checklist to make sure I'm not forgetting anything. Once he waskes up this afternoon I will be loading the truck...

    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    Not much, a few ruts,1 medium sized mud hole, and a downed tree that we had to squeeze passed. It was a fun little trail that led to a fire tower. This is the view from the top, or as close to the top as we could get.

    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    Got back yesterday from a 3 day camping trip with my two oldest boys. We camped at a state park near Marlington (at the end of the WV TAT track). Boys had a blast on the trip. I discovered a few minor wrinkles in my camp setup that I need to iron out this week to streamline things a bit...

The video shows the section of the trail from US33 at Windyville Rd to just east of Ripley (we were traveling backwards from the normal route). I turned...

    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    @armyRN do you have a tentative plan for the first couple of days? (I.e. how far you want to make it) I’m only going to be able to do about 3 nights and will have to head home Tuesday some time. Just want to start planning my exit strategy.

    how hard is it on the mid east coast to find good overlanding places?

    No, I'll be on the eastern side of WV, near Snowshoe Resort. But after I explore this area I hop to check out a route I found on OB called the KY Adventure Tour

    I’m in WV and just got back to a 4x4 after 8 years of crossovers. I’m looking forward to exploring the forest service roads in the Monongahela National Forest. If I stumble onto some good routes I’ll post them. I’ve got a 26 mile route mapped out in GAIA thet looks promising. And, I’m going...
