Did a little tractor work last weekend.

One last day of hiking Chimney Tops and Clingmans Dome, then time to get a well earned shower in Gatlingberg.

The next day, I had plans to go to the top of Max Patch via Brown Gap Road. I soon found out that Brown Gap had a bridge out, so I took a 10 mile detour on Chestnut Ridge Road. It had a couple nice creek crossings, and multiple National Forest Dispersed camping sites. It's in Martha Sundquist...

At the top of Old Buzzards Roost road, you have a short ride on Buzzards Roost gravel road to the top of the mountain and the namesake. It's one of the nicest, and scariest views in the Smoky's. You can take the two way gravel road for a scenic drive back down to I40. I spent a quiet night at...

Next I spent some time at Ole Smoky Distillery in Gatlinburg talking to a friend of Popcorn Sutton. I headed out to Old Buzzards Roost and eventually Cosby campground. Don’t confuse Old Buzzards Roost with Buzzards Roost. The Old Road starts off nice with a beautiful water crossing. It...

Here’s some pictures from the first day at Smoky Mountains. After a day of driving I lucked out and got the best camp site at Elkmount. Right next to the river and a 1930’s stone bridge. Loved listening to the river.

Looking great! I love the simplicity of the wedge top and your bed. Keep sending pictures!!

Just got back from the Smoky Mountains. It was a beautiful week!

I just saw these. For those camping with OEM car/truck inverters, or small power supplies, Walmart has some low wattage cookware. Most cars and trucks with 120v plugs are limited to 400watts. It’s nice to cook inside my camper without the fear of a gas burner in tight space. Now I have a...

Thanks Dave! One of my favorite things is making breakfast, looking out my camper window at a beautiful view. I just need to remember to park the truck in the right direction.:)

Since Michael was the true mastermind behind Dan's design, and Michael's build didn't have an upper bed, Dan had to create his own. I learned my lesson with my bed that you need to incorporate the bed design in the conception. The simplest fix for Dan is just to hinge it on the front end and...

Here Dan details how he built his sleeping platform.

My power supply petered out. Good thing I had my backup dash mini to cook breakfast. Plugged it in the truck’s inverter. It was a bit hot to sleep last night so I ran the truck’s AC for 10 minutes to cool down the camper. Slept like a rock.

Finally widened my atv path enough to get my Jeep down to my camping spot next to the river.

I widened a couple of my ATV trails so I can get the Jeep down them. Still need to widen my creek crossings.

Quite a few nice dirt roads in the Smokies.

It's time for another adventure, and it looks like I'm heading east to the Smokey Mountain 1000. Let me know where your favorite 4 wheeling roads and camp sites are. I'm looking for National Forest camp sites on top of mountains and next to rivers. Let me know!!

Great idea.

Funny, I've got 10 Dewalts plus all the batters and chargers. Now I can't buy another brand, since I'm in too deep.
