    Excellent video guys! Family is planning to relocate to Seymour just outside of Knoxville and your video hands down has been the best I’ve watched. I really appreciate how you both took the time to show the local touches of Knoxville. It shined a light on the corporate version of things in other states we were considering.

    I stumbled upon your video as my family and I are moving to the Knoxville area in a few months and are looking forward to it. We have visited 3 times in the past 2 years, most recently last month. Your video and drone footage is beautiful. The intro with the city name text and the flyover the Sunsphere is awesome. The coordinates for locations is a nice touch and the music with the edits/transitions are great.

    Thanks for visiting my hometown. Even though I live in the Atlanta area now, I'm just a couple hours away and try to get back to see my mom and my family as much as possible. Just to let you know, Knoxville is hit and miss when it comes to activity. It's really weird. Some days you will feel like you are in this sleepy mid-sized town because there seems like there's nothing going on. And the next couple of days it seems like you are in the middle Nashville or Austin or out at night in Atlanta or New Orleans because there's so many people out and so much going on. It's crazy!!! But definitely catch the city on Saturday night during football season after a big Vols win. Talk about a party! 🍊🍊🍊🍊

    So the bridge you are talking about is probably the rock bridge. You have to go up a hiking trail to get there but its not far at all from the parking area. There is an odd tunnel that goes underneath it called the key hole. The bridge is made up of random chunks of marble that has been assembled to make a bridge. Its kind of cool to see. The only thing that goes along the quarry is a trail that goes up and around. Its pretty steep but not long. There is actually a sign where it starts saying that the trail is not for the faint of heart. I wouldnt go that far but if you are not in semi decent shape you will have a hard time with it.

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for this. We figured there was a trail nearby but we were running out of time. Glad you said it was steep too. We're in pretty decent shape but we wouldn't have been prepared to pour sweat 😅

    The quarries are beautiful ❤. Somehow videos like this remind me of Australia. Probably it’s because of natural beauty, food and coffee culture and unfortunately gentrification everywhere. That’s life; can’t have the quirky stuff without the insane prices. Love this video and all the work you did on the visuals and editing 🇦🇺🇺🇸

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
