I have seen quite a few people running the Viair compressors. You can pick up a decent one for about $100 on Amazon.

Would hate to be left out there without the ability to pump up my tires. May want to grab an ARB tire repair kit while you're at it.

Anyway, this is my first real trip overland. I'm going because I don't exactly know if I can. My hangup is air. I don't want to get a $50 compressor that won't fill my 33s only to have it fail. I planned to do ARB on board air at some point, but this trip opportunity came up suddenly.

To anyone that has run this before, are there opportunities for air at gas stations etc along the route, or do I have to have some source with me???
You shouldn’t NEED to air down on the route, but the places it would be nice (cannon loop, Flagpole, etc) there are limited services. If you are running this route in the spring be very careful of the water crossings, some will be extremely deep until June.

This is a very remote area. The southern half of the loop has almost zero cell phone reception due to the US RF quite zone (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit...dio_Quiet_Zone). Dont pass a gas station unless you have more than half a tank gas.
Wave to the locals they are all very friendly.

That is fascinating, I didn’t even know the Radio Quiet Zone existed. Almost sounds like a place that I’d love to retire to, haha.

I'm pretty familiar with about half of this route from riding dual sports on these roads.
If anyone needs any local info just give me a shout.

Spring water crossings (Canaan Loop) should be scouted carefully before you try it.
Quite a few of these roads are still under snow, so be prepared for that this time of year.

No more link?

Hi all,

I would like to check this track out, but the link now directs to a spam website and a Google search reveals a website that no longer exists.

I'd appreciate anyone who got their hands on the gpx file sharing it as a resource here for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks!

This is awesome! I was planning to do a trip with my Son and some of his friends this summer in West VA or PA and this looks perfect.

I did a trip down the BRP last year to TN, this off road one will be a blast. And i still have my Gaia app from last year.

I know this is old but I am going to run this in May or June 2023. I have downloaded the GPX file and saved all the maps that cover the area. I also have Gaia GPS Premium and OnX Elite. I will be coming from Pa, so the north. Any tips on a particular start? Or best trails. Even tips on following a route would help.

Man, I would totally love to join you, but I've been doing some restoration work on my 2nd Gen.

If you're coming from PA, I would start in Cumberland. That's where I started when I drove over from Delmarva. This trip is such a good route...

I would recommend going when it's dryest so you can do the river crossings. Closer to spring, they're usually too high.

Bring some paper maps, and preplan some alternative camp sites before you go. There is no cell coverage at all as you get further south, so it isn't easy to make changes on the fly.

If you have the time, I would take a trip over to the New River Gorge National Park if you haven't been there before. It's a little over an hour from Lake Moomaw at the southern end of the route.

Good luck, and have fun!!!
