Fall would be beautiful!
Yes for sure!
Never knew about this place
It's beautiful
Theirs's a lot of information on Ray Hicks and his extended family from Beech Mountain on TH-cam. Looks like the poverty and culture of Appalachia has gone and replaced with chair lifts , gift shops and tourism. Just glad Alan Lomax and others documented this region and its people back in the 70and 8os on film. Thx for showing us this up to date video.
Beech Mountain has been destroyed by the greed of the government of Beech Mountain. They do not give a damn about the people who have lived here for decades.
Hello guys hard to believe that y'all were in our back yard. Our little family were all born and raised in Avery County NC. My wife and I graduated from Avery High School. My wife use to clean houses on Beech Mountain before she got her nursing license. And our last name.....Hicks! Thanks for visiting our neck of the woods. A Whistle Pig is a groundhog lol. God bless y'all 🙏
Thanks so much for sharing! God bless!!
What beautiful views. God's amazing creations never cease too amaze me. Thanks for taking us along.😊

Thanks for watching Tony and our pleasure.
Awelsome view nature beautiful
We agree!
Very beautiful
When I was at etsu back in the mid 80's we would go snow skiing at either hawks nest in boone,nc. Sometimes at either beech mountain or at sugar mountain ski resorts. Sometim we would just go to wolf laurel ski resort located north far from flag pond,tn but over in nc. It wasn't far away from etsu campus.
Hicks was probably some of my cousins. My hicks line goes way back to Virginia in the 1600's
Amazing views on Beech mountain!!Looks so close to Heaven,with the beautiful white clouds!Absolutely love your videos and the interesting history included in most of them !!Thanks so much Mike and Karen!!❤
Our pleasure Jody!
My O My,that was awesome!
Thanks for watching Betty!
Thankfully my german/ irish and scotch ancestors chose to settle down in the mid 1700's up in them beautiful far western nc mountains and then many eventually crossed the blue ridge and cherokee mountains to settle in beautiful valley around johnson city and blountville areas in northeast Tennessee areas by 1777 to 1780's.
Most of my families on both sides were some of the first pioneer families to settle in the valley area of northeast Tennessee. My Denton's and Jone's are kin to lots of folks in the tri cites.
One of my best friends Sonja (Cox) Crowe ended up being my (5 th)cousin through my (2 nd) great grandma /eliza yates who who's maiden surnsme was CHASE. Sonja's parents both come from 2 of eliza chases siblings blood lines!
Thanks for sharing the history Harold!
Debbie and I remember being slung out over the mountain in some wild rides. I will never forget the Spider and Debbie the swings.
Awesome Mark!
@1:38 (Parkway Scenic overlook) I was in the same spot this past Sunday. Loved my week inon Beech Mt. and surrounding areas.
On the Mountain !
Thank you Friday's! :)
Our pleasure Tawna!
I love the beauty of my state of North Carolina. I love y'all videos
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
You're welcome!
Beautiful looking area. One of God's many masterpieces. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Our pleasure.
That view was worth more than $12! What beautiful views! My tummy quivered a little when you walked towards the one view that dropped off! This place looked really cool! We are going to have to spend some time in North Carolina to visit these fantastic places you are showing in these videos! Loved the photo bomber towards the end! ♥️ Thank you for taking us along!
Thanks so much for watching and leaving the comment!
@@FridaysForever you are welcome 💖
I spent my Summers on Beech Mountain growing up, but it’s been about 20 years since I’ve been there. Fred’s looks exactly the same. The historical museum wasn’t there though. It used to be a really great toy store with all sorts of oddities.
I am so jealous! I have always wanted to go here, maybe next year!
It’s really beautiful! Hope you are doing well.
Mike I wondered what happened to your motorcycle channel. I thought you ran off the mountain dragging a knee on the dragon. Glad to see you are alive an well. Enjoy your new channel. Even if they aren’t about motorcycles.
Thanks so much Bob!
Wow! I'm imaging what it would look like covered with snow.🤔☃️ Also imaging Mike and Karen going down the more experience slopes.😉⛷⛷ Thanks for sharing.🤗
We hope to go back this Winter Ann. Not sure about getting Miss Karen on the slopes.
I’m blessed to call NC home! 💙Thanks for sharing! Your videos are always so beautiful and a joy to watch!
Thank you so much!
Just discovered your channel..don’t get to visit as often as I’d like, even though I’m fairly close (Belmont NC) Thanks for sharing your adventures -:)
Enjoyed going on this adventure with y'all today! Beautiful views!
Glad you enjoyed!
Beautiful God bless Yall
Thank you Lonnie! God bless!!
Thank you both for such great videos.
Love to settle in after supper and me and my husband watch a few.
Such beautiful places.
Our pleasure!
What a beautiful place. Thank you for taking us along.
Our pleasure!
We took that chair lift up one summer. It was very uncomfortable since there was no where to put your feet. That bike path was rough. We live where we see the slopes all the time from a distance. Thanks for the views.
Heading that way the first week in Oct. to visit the Land of Oz...Autumn in Oz event. When it first opened many years ago... my parents took us almost every year. There and Tweetsie Railroad were much looked forward to by my brother and I. So thrilled that they have been able to reopen the park. Seems like it's getting better every year.
Thanks so much for sharing. Have fun and tell Dorthy we said HI!!
Cathy Hendrix the Wolly Worm Festival is Oct 16th and 17th in Banner Elk. If you've never been it's a hoot!
Make sure you have tickets already. The only time i see that they are open are during the weekends in Sept. unless you were able to get a private tour. Just didnt want yall to show up and not be able to visit the park.
@@Mplonk13 Thanks Matthew...we have them. They do sell out quickly.
Thank you for sharing your day with us. Looking forward to being in the mountains in two weeks.
Our pleasure Ken!
That is a neat place 👌
Thanks for watching Cynthia!

Very restful visit to a place that isn’t super crowded with people. I liked the little general store and museum.
Do you guys ski ? It’ll be neat to see it in the winter with the ski folks out.
Thanks for sharing your trip. Always a pleasant journey with you guys. 💕

Yes Chris! We did a couple videos from Roan Mtn. in our library.
Such a lovely place 💓😍💓 I wanna go there really but I don't know when??😅😅😅
Thanks for watching Roldan!
We are in Gatlinburg and was hoping to run into you. This place looks beautiful!!
Aww....love to meet you!
MAN THAT PRODUCE LOOKS GREAT! ESPECIALLY THE TOMATOES 🍅
Cool country store!
No more Land of Oz, huh. Just the souvenirs left.
Thanks for watching!
Land of Oz ended in late 1970s, has been closed ever since but opens up one day a year
I seen the Nutter Butters, man there good.
Haha...we agree!
That looks like a fun place to go in the winter. I wonder why they don't have a barrier where Karen was standing lookin at the view? That was a beautiful view but looked very dangerous. That would be beautiful in the fall I bet.
We hope to go back this Fall.
Was there a town there that you did a video of by chance?
try the virginia creeper trail whitetop va to damascus
Thanks for the suggestion!
Can you please do a vedio of lake lure nc take the boat ride see places where dirty dancing was filmed and chimney rock there a mile apart
We hope to make it over that way soon Jo!
And I was surprised that my husband had never been on a chair lift.
Around 1hr from were I live North Wilkesboro home of the old North Wilkesboro speedway
Your country!

I love that area of North Carolina, except for the monstrosity of an eyesore they have built on top of Sugar Top in Sugar Mountain south of Banner Elk.
Yeah can't miss it.
Just imagine having binoculars
It's beautiful.
I wouldn't ride a bike down the mountain! No way!
Don't blame ya!
God's country. But everywhere y'all go is God's country.
Thanks for the comment Tammy. So true!!
