TAT TN section

[projectroverland]

Hello everyone, I’m new to the group and to overlanding in general. The most I’ve done have been some weekend seeking / camping trips with my two kids. I live about 35 minutes north of Knoxville around the royal blue windrock area where there are endless miles of trails. If anyone would like to get together sometime and make a weekend out of it just let me know!

Also, I’m planning on doing at least the eastern portion of the TAT in April of 2019. I’m allowing myself time to prep the rig as well as any other items I may need along the way. I’m wondering if anyone has any downloadable files of the Section I’m doing that they would care to share. I plan on loading the files onto a tablet using Gaia. And if you have any advice I’d greatly appreciate it.

Welcome! Glad to have you here!

I'll scope the TAT out for you! I'm doing the entire TAT from the Virginia start point in 6 weeks!

Welcome, the TAT is an awesome trip. I have done it twice and would be happy to answer some questions. You can check out my channel for some videos. www.youtube.com/c/sirwilliamadams

As far as the section map be sure you use Sam's maps, you can download them by section here https://www.transamtrail.com/
Have fun and welcome to overlanding.

Just got my maps for the tennesee leg from Sam at TransAmerican rail.com. Very detailed and he includes a very detailed roll chart for the routes as well. However the route is only good for East to West so keep that in mind.

Well I just learned something cool today I guess while looking for good trails in Tennessee.

I'm in Nashville btw.

I’m headed up to West Virginia to start the TAT tomorrow!

Just hit Mars, NC tonight. VA and NC have some absolutely stunning landscapes.

If you get the digital files you can run the trail in any direction you want. FYI the eastern portion is the best (in my opinion) of Tennessee. Its gets kinda flat and bland the further west you go until you get into NM and CO. Enjoy as we have and please pack out your trash. We have seen several instances of the trail that is starting to accumulate some litter.
