Thank you for doing these videos. My husband and I went there every year for our anniversary. We loved experiencing God's beauty and the awesome creation of those mountains. My husband died 3 yrs ago and I have not been able to return since except to spread his ashes. So thank you, thank you!!😊❤
Our pleasure! I know that must be tough to lose a spouse! Here is today's video from Cades Cove we hope you are able to enjoy: th-cam.com/video/8vlyx3yB9x0/w-d-xo.html
I asked to see a Waterfall and you braved the weather and roads without gloves to a waterfall! It was absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed it very much while cuddled up with a blanket on my couch!!! Thank you!
Thank you for taking us along on your drive & hike! Exactly the break I needed on a very busy day. I LOVED seeing the water running under the ice at the Falls. And you are correct, God is good. :-)
Love the video and the snow perspective of the roads and park. We love Cataract Falls because the ease of the hike. The falls are not majestic but still a beautiful sight provided to us by Mother Nature. Thank You for sharing!
Ryan, always keep a pair of gloves in your coat pockets. That way, you will always have them when you need them. The walk to Cataract Falls was beautiful and peaceful. It was great seeing all the snow, another beautiful creation by our loving God. You are truly blessed. I aways love the view looking out from your house. The deer were having fun in the snow too. We have a few more cool days and especially cold nights here in the NW Florida Panhandle then hopefully warming up. Thanks for sharing and for all your hard work. Go Bucs!!!!🏈
I noticed Joshua 24:15 above your mantle. We have the same verse carved in stone at our house. We picked this up at the Sandman's Workshop in the Old Mill area. Thank you for serving the Lord through your ministry of offering helpful content and and drama-free commentary. We are headed to Wears Valley Saturday for a week of Peace and quiet!
I LOVE all your family videos. You are so blessed to live there and be able to see it all, and I can tell you are thankful that you’re able to do so. These latest snow videos are spectacular! You are a great narrator, keep up the good work!
Another beautiful vlog. Thanks so much for sharing and would really like to see the Ogle cabin snow covered. You do such a wonderful job sharing God's beauty with us.
People are missing out visiting the smokies in winter. The water is so clear and blue, the air is so clean and fresh. Thanks for sharing! Love your cats, too!
Winter is great, happy to share! Here is our Cades Cove drive video from yesterday if you haven't seen it yet: th-cam.com/video/8vlyx3yB9x0/w-d-xo.html
Being from Sparta Tn ,we are just far enough away that we can't get over as much as we would like,we would walk those trails every day if we could,I enjoyed that snowy trails peace and could feel myself relaxing just watching it.Thanks so much for all your great videos,God bless you and yours!
The hike you did was so peaceful and beautiful, even for me just watching it on my TV. Thank you for taking time out of your day to do your videos. I really enjoy them. My husband and I have only been to Tennessee once, but we are planning more trips to different parts of Tennessee, and we are seriously thinking of retiring there.
The shot of the icy treetops, illuminated by the sunlight, as you went over the bypass was beyond beautiful!! And I agree, there is something soothing about the sound of the trickling water, making its way down the mountain; for those who take that in it can sooth your soul🙏🏻.
The sun coming out today was drawing me to get out and get in the park that finally opened this morning! I'll keep an eye on when Cades Cove opens, I would love to get in there when it does!
Love the snowy views. Being a flatlander from Raleigh NC, the view is much more pleasing and relaxing from the passenger side of your car! Thanks for the ride along.
I am enjoying the scenery with the snow. Here's a funny story. That round hotel on the mountain, I think is called Park Vista, or at least it used to be. back in 1988 my wife and I stayed there. Well we were down on Airport Road waiting for a trolley to take us back up to the hotel. We missed the last trolley going up, so we had to walk that entire driveway up the steep incline to the hotel. LOL. Needless to say we never stayed there again. LOL. It was nice though with an indoor pool.
Wow. That's beautiful in the snow. We were there 3 weeks ago right after Christmas. It was cold but the weather was beautiful. It's really pretty covered in ice and snow. Thanks for letting us come along. Greetings from cold, icy North Mississippi.
A big thank you. Really enjoyed this vlog. Very relaxing. Hope you will get a chance to take us on this type of hike when the trees start getting buds. Great job on this one.
This is my happy place! I would be in the mountains everyday! Thanks for the adventure! Oh and I should have watched this video 1st. They had a little more snow than I thought. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video! We visited Smokey Mountains a couple years ago for the first time. I don’t think there’s a season where The Smoky Mountains aren’t gorgeous!❤
New subscriber 😊. Thank you for going where I can’t get to now. We’re due for more snow today and tonight and it’s a lot for Tennessee to be this cold so long. God Bless and be safe.
We literally found this tonight. We must have been at the visitor center and on the trail about an hour before you. We enjoyed your video and also plan to rope drop the cove tomorrow (my husband didn’t understand 😂)
Glad you were able to enjoy the trail as well, not sure if Cades Cove is going to open today, but hope to get in as soon as it does, and try to catch the snow before it melts!
When we home-schooled our kids they would always complain that their public school friends would get a snow day while they had to do their studies. I would remind them that I would be happy to give them a snow day instead of Disney World in October. There were no more complaints. We graduated our last one 2 years ago. Now they are home-schooling our grandkids.
Exactly, Sevier County closed down schools for the week, but Brie will still be doing school with the kids tomorrow. We will at WDW next month while a lot of kids are in school with low crowds. We love the flexibility!
Many positives with Home-schooling besides the flexibility. Mainly being able to approach subjects from a Biblical worldview. We home-schooled all six of our kids from the beginning to graduation. They all went on to college and /or great careers.
Beautiful scenery. My wife and I have made that trail walk many times. It's such a nice place when it isn't crowded. Have you checked out Davey Crockett birthplace Park yet? Really nice trails along the river. Based on something at the beginning of this video, i think you are about 45-50 minutes south of me. I never realized that before. I'm going to search through your older videos to see what you're using for your solar set up. We've been in and out with power since Monday night. 8" at our place and there's only been a little melt off so far.
It was a beautiful day indeed! We have seen the Davy Crockett birthplace as we’ve been traveling around, but haven’t checked it out yet. The solar has worked out great for us. It’s been such a blessing!
My wife and I very much enjoy your videos. We plan to soon (within the next couple of months) put our house up for sale in Rochester NY & move into an apartment in Sevierville while our retirement log cabin is being built in Newport TN. I was wondering if you could do a video on your solar power system. We are considering going all solar on our 2.2 acre Newport property. I'd love to know what inverter(s?) you're using, your load panel, fuses &/or emergency shut off switches, as well as the battery backup system you chose. We can't wait to be neighbors with like minded Christian folk with similar values. God bless you & your family.
How exciting! We love living in this area & excited for you to enjoy it too! I hope to make a video going over or solar set up, but don't know when I will release it. I will say it's primarily Generac products & cost us about 40k. Feel free to email us anytime if you have questions!

I’ll root for them if they beat my Bucs!

It was absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed it very much while cuddled up with a blanket on my couch!!! Thank you!

Welcome, we are happy to bring you along!
Oh deer! Thanks for the beautiful look at God's creation while staying warm inside
Our pleasure, happy to take people on virtual tours in The Smokies!

Do I need a parking pass to stay parked at sugarlands visitor center to go to cataract falls?
technically yes, if you are anywhere longer than 15 min. Here is our parking guide: th-cam.com/video/gYFUH_s_eAk/w-d-xo.html
I'm wondering how long that hike is....!
It's a very short 3/4 mile trail. Here is our more detailed video of this place: th-cam.com/video/y1jc_AX5n34/w-d-xo.html
What exactly is the spur. Is it a road?
It’s the road between Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg.
Where do live? Florida?
Used to live in FL. Now live in The Smokies (TN).
my friends and i are leaving to go to Gatlinburg are the roads super bad ? is that what it looked like yesterday ?
We got more snow today & temps are dropping. This was the day before last. Here is a look at roads yesterday: th-cam.com/video/8vlyx3yB9x0/w-d-xo.html
