    The beauty of the Smokey Mountains are doing God's hand in the reason why we have to make sure we take care of our planet every day...its breathtaking.

    I did not realize that turkeys were so protective. I love the cove. It is so peaceful there. I have been in that church. I live by in Knoxville.

    I watch a lot of your videos on TV. When I am inspired by them I go to my IPad and post my thoughts and of course, give a thumbs up. I love Cades Cove. There is a loving spirit about that place that is undeniable. You can feel the presents of the people that lived there and it’s so wonderful to look thru a window and see the beauty of the mountain thru their eyes knowing every morning they seen the sunrise and the sunset. This is a little piece of heaven on earth. Thanks for sharing your video I got to see it thru your eyes.

    Detroit born and raised just got home Monday after spending 3 weeks in Cherokee, i visted alot of these cities. Bryson City, Dillsboro, Tuskegee, Sylva how can you not love it. I wasnt a fan of Gatlinburg a little too touristy. Home hasn't been the same since returning. I didn't catch Cades Cove maybe next time. I got alot of pointers and places to visit watching you two. Thx for the good content i enjoy watching just wish i could stay their! Maybe one day. Watch our for those turkeys...

    My favorite place. As a child in Maryville our elementary class would take field trips in a school bus to cades cove and we would bring a sack lunch. And in 6th grade our classes would spend a week at Treemont in the lodge and hike and do other activities. It was a lot of fun. Love my mountains! Thanks for the video!

    We’ve been across Rich Mtn Rd 3-4 times.
    It used to be pretty rough and they even had a sign at the beginning that said 4 wheel dr vehicles only! They have obviously made some improvements since then.
    We loved it back in the day when virtually no one knew about it and you never saw another soul the entire drive.
    Loved the video!😊👍🏼
    God Bless🙏

    My husband and I love Rich Mountain. We take a lunch and sit on the back of his truck and enjoy the quiet.
    Last year, we saw a momma bear and two cubs, crossing the road. Then another momma bear with three Cubs, on the side of the road, eating something- it was amazing. Thanks for the video, enjoy you two. God bless you.

    Love the cove. Miss it. Been going there for almost 20 years. Feels like home. Nothing like the mts. Been looking for a little place to live. Used to have a condo at deer ridge years ago but they didn’t accept pets and we got a dog.

    That overlook of the church is one of my favorites! We have been down that road a lot, it can get a little rough but it's so much fun exploring places like that. We have never seen bear up there. Loved the killer attack turkey! (I know you didn't at the time) I needed a good laugh today! Thanks

    Loved this video. The wildflowers, especially the purple ones, were beautiful. Loved the closeups of the butterfly on the flowers. It was so clear you could see the antennae on the butterfly. I don't blame you for running from the turkey; he looked mean. I've seen pictures from this road but have never driven it. Wished you had continued the video on into Townsend. Take care and safe travels!

    Will, I like how you added interest by placing the camera on the road and showing the Jeep driving over and beside the camera. Always enjoy watching you and Dawn on your adventures. Your videos give us a virtual vacation while we are stuck at home. Have you guys ever checked out the Riverhouse at the Park in Gatlinburg? I’m from Knoxville originally, and we vacation in Gatlinburg several times per year. RH is our absolute favorite hotel. It borders the park on River Road and still has the the classic 1950’s Gatlinburg nostalgic look and feel. I think it’s a hidden gem. We always get the same corner room overlooking the creek. This is more of a hotel for people that want to experience “Old Gatlinburg,” and is one of the last motor lodges where you can call “011” from your room phone, and someone that reminds you of your mom will deliver homemade donuts and a carafe of coffee to your room-complete with melamine coffee cups! Thanks again!

    Brother, my family and I took that road back in the summer of 2019. We were just learning our way around the cove, and got completely lost and wound up on Rich Mountain Road, gosh what a time! Some of those trees look like something Tarzan would swing on. My dad and mom described to me all of the trees and the nature scenes on that road. I hope to get back on that road again real soon. I am visually impaired, so I just had to imagine what we were looking at. I live on a dirt road myself, so the crunching of the gravels was very familiar to me. I wouldn’t mind just bringing a picnic lunch and having a picnic there. Thanks for all the wonderful videos you show, can’t wait till my next visit to the mountains, BTW, I’m hinting around to my folks to take me there for my birthday next year. Ha ha!
