Making the Best of a Winter Day- Clifty Falls With My Boyfriend
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- Join me and my boyfriend, Smoke, who I met while hiking the Appalachian Trail as we brave the chilly weather and go out for a short hike and some campfire cooking at Clifty Falls State Park, Indiana. While the winter has the trees bare and we get chilled to the bone, we made the best of the day, even if it’s not as exciting as the Appalachian Trail itself!
Thanks again to Fire Maple for sponsoring this video! Cookware, stoves, lanterns… they do so much and I was really impressed with the gear I got to try out in this video!

What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!

I absolutely love how happy and in love you guys look! HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!!!❤❤😊
Awww! Happy new year to you too!
In in agreement Happy New Years to my two favorite People LOVE You two So Happy for You two. LOVE and GOD Bless You Aloha Always Sister Chrissy Honolulu Hi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You two are so freakin’ cute! So happy to see you guys still sticking togather. Happy New Year, Maddie and Smoke ❤
Happy new year!!
I agree 110%!
You have it a good try…..what is good to make over a fire on a grill is grilled pizza sandwiches. butter the bread on the outside, put pizza sauce and toppings between the bread…and cook like grilled cheese. That was one of my kids favorite camping meals when they were little…except sometimes we cheated and used an electric grill if our campground had hookups…lol
Cute couple...
Maddie and Smoke Rock 🎉 Maddie you are so fun Smoke as well.
May you both live a long and many happy years together 🎊 so positive!!
Maddie!!!! Your are on trail tales?!!! I am so excited!!!! ❤😃😃😃
So true, your expression of appreciation for a warm and comfortable place to call home!
The Toaks wood burning stove is light enough to actually carry backpacking. You collect twigs and burn them to boil your water. I own the small one.
Happy to see you two, I always wash my new dishes and pans as well
The bowl with holes is a steamer basket
Love Clifty Falls, you're in my backyard! If you make it back try the Hoffman, Tunnel, Clifty falls loop. For some local beer try New Madison Brewing and for a nice selection of beer and great tacos try Off Broadway Taproom.
Aww.. like the old days when you two cuties were on the AT..❤
It felt like old times for us too!
Glad to see the two of you are still making adventures together. Really cool little trails even with the background noise. I saw that you put the screen down so it folded upwards. Would it be straight across putting the fold upwards. Really cool wood firebox and kettle. Definitely good for outings. Try the pizza again. Wait until you have coals and put the foil on the rack and build a dome like you mentioned. You might have better success. I pray that you two have a fantastic year. Happy New Year.
We love and miss you two so much!!!! So happy to see you two😭🥰😘
Thanks for sharing your day. Firemaple makes a propane stove I’m looking at closely. I like the fire pit/grill. Hi Smoke. Great day. Thanks again.
Nice! If you do end up getting that stove, and you wanna help a pal out, I get some commission if you use my link in the description. No pressure, just putting that out there in case you're interested!
That is my ultimate favorite!
Clifty Falls is my half way point from where I live now in Tennessee and where I used to live in Indiana!!!
So fun to see you two out hiking!
Thank you!!
Happy New Year!! I always wash new dishes before using them. I just envision the item getting handled during manufacturing and then boxing. Thanks for the video. 😊
Hi Maddie and Smoke 👋🏻 Hope you're doing well, stay safe and take care 🙏🏻 God Bless
Appreciate you my friends 👊🏻👍🏻
Thank you, same to you!
We live about 18 miles from there! Love Clifty!
A much better view of the river is at the lodge. It’s also a nice place to catch a meal inside the park.
Oh that’s a good idea!
Clifty is such a cool place to have in Southern Indiana. I love to hike there all day and then go eat somewhere on Main st in Madison. It’s fun to camp there too. Looks like you visit a lot of the same places as me!
Hi. I just wanted to share that I found your channel on TH-cam. Ive backed up and I’m following your progress from the beginning of the trail. So enjoying your content. I wanted to say thank you! I always wanted to hike some of the trail. At 62 now with bad knees, I don’t think I can. Best wishes.
Awesome, thanks so much for stopping by!
Just watched Trail Tales with Kyle Hates Hiking. Was nice to see you featured.
Yay! That was a fun conversation!
Just FYI - Luke from Outdoor Boys TH-cam channel always carries cotton balls dipped in Vaseline as fire starter. Seems to work really well.
Those are some good items from Fire Maple. But I like "Smoke's" water pot better! :)
Happy New Year! 🌠 And yes - I also wash new dishes & clothes first 😅 fun camping gear! 🔥
So is Smoke doing a cooking video? Hopefully featuring the co-star kettle.😊
I was there a few months ago. Trail 2 was a lot of fun, and actually rugged or wet depending on the time of year.
Strange to see you both hiking without heavy packs! Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful new year!
When I saw Smoke walking the first time I was thinking how weird he looked with no backpack. So glad to see them hike together again tho.
Happy New Year Maddie and Smoke Master. This Jay from Jim Thorpe Pa!!!
Nothing ventured nothing gained. Enjoyed seeing both together in a flog. ❤😊
Heard your interview on Trail Tales this morning! Great interview!
Thanks for listening!
Clifty Falls is beautiful and you can hike from the Inn up to the North Gate (trails 1, 3,4,5,6,7), then back through 8, 2 - unless the creeks are overflowing, then bring extra socks or just go back through 1-7. It is quite strenuous - but the truth is that any of these trails is a beauty of its own. Thank you for this captivating channel and all your achievements! I am in Louisville too.
Love Clifty Falls. Camped and hiked there many times in the 70s, but it's been at least 40 years since I was last there.
Oh that's so cool! It's a neat place.
Well the cheese melted😃🙃 good to see you both🙂🙏
Yeah at least there was that!
I think that you two experienced hikers are going have to head east into eastern KY or eastern TN in order to be happy with your hiking needs.
Go there often. I’m close to Charlestown. Those towers are like the 3rd highest in the world I think. Go down by the deep ravines and the cave. Definitely more rugged down there. Boneyard grill best place in town to eat. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you both, well done !!
Hey Maddie ! Did they put dish soap on the outside of pots in your Troop like we did !
Smoke cracked hubs and I up with the wood fired pizza !
Smoke had a good idea with the pizza ! ❤
Happy Trails Ranger and Smokemaster! Thanks for the awesome videos! “Bacon Wrap”😊
Thanks, Bacon Wrap, good to hear from ya!
Those coal burning stacks ARE annoying. But like you say, warmth is nice. Enjoyed the product testing and the hike.
I think you can steam your food in that bowl with holes ???
Happy New Year you two !
You two are the cutest couple!
There are times in life when mostvAnything can be eaten. Having hiked the AT many years ago I saw it happen in shelters. In Vermont a hiker turned his pot of chili beans onto the shelter floor(nasty with who know what) but he ate it anyway. My wife and cooked macaroni and one night in Connecticut. It was dark and we were tired. I dumped what I thought was dehydrated cheese on the macaroni. I mistook it for Tang in a similar bag. It was awful but we ate it anyway. Fun video.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉 It's good to see you both again. Thanks for the video! ❤
Happy New Year, Maddie and Smoke! I really enjoy your videos! I'm down here in flat, warm Florida....so its nice to see the trees, the river...I didn't mind the industrial plant at all...its always interesting to see new scenery!
I just ordered a Fire Maples’ gas lantern today!!
Niiiice!
Love the fire pit we carry a small one to do cook outs on a day hike. Pine cones are like gas, ez fire starter, along with lighter wood. We hunt lighter wood it’s actually everywhere there are pine trees, it really works! Happy new year!
GREAT VIDEO
Good to see you two having fun in the not too naturry outdoors
Shorts and T-shirt weather where I am. Closest I got to Clifty Falls State park was "My Old Kentucky Home State Park" on the old Trans-Am cycling route that I was following. Similar to walking the old AT such as Skyline drive. Did you walk any of the old AT sections or were they considered off trail, not part of the AT.
Hey guys great shot!! The two of you together. Have a great time !! So great to be young and full of life!! ❤️
Neat day trip. So odd not seeing you on the AT though.
Yep, we miss it!
I just love you two! Sooo adorable together!
Think I neet him in damascus by the car wash. Gave him and a guy named backed up a beer. I was driving a charcoal grey colored new Toyota tackle 4 door truck. That was during AT trail days last year.
Happy New Year Maddie!!!! 💚👣🌲🌲
My man Smoke! This buds for you.
Haha I'll tell him!
Cool! I live in Indiana! Go to Madison all the time and Clifty
Nice!!!
Saw a review from the outdoor gear guy featuring this Fire Maple stove. He wants it taken off the market, to put it bluntly and shows why.
The pizza looked good a lot of pepperoni!You need an oven, sometimes those parks have brick fireplaces, get some more bricks and maybe make an oven. Your portable
fire pit is very nice!
If want to do a small thru hike you could do the Tecumseh trail by Martinsville. It's 42 miles and even has Shelters.😊
LOVE Madison Indiana!
Happy New Year !
It's great to see you out hiking again.
what a great idea on a cold winter day, that's something i could get into. Happy New Year to you guys
You guys are so cute - so glad you found each other :)
that pizza!!!
Awesome!🙌💥💥💥💥💥
Thanks 🤗
Happy new year! So happy to see you two out and about making pizza
You are both so beautiful! Bless you have great fun and adventures! 😊
Thank you!
Hey Maddy! I live in that town with Clifty Falls! We should hike together sometime!
Try Shipley's Bar and Grill downtown Madison.
God bless you 🙏
Where is the Kettle SM??? :) Glad to see the two of you still together...
He has it on display back at home!
❤❤ awesome
Y’all are in my area! So Cool Ranger. I live in Milton Ky
That's so cool!
Cool 👌🔥🍻💯
Just a few hours south of me. Madison and Clifty Falls are the more beautiful places in Indiana…in my opinion anyway
Turkey Run is an AWESOME GREAT place to hike! The best imo.
I've fixed lasagna on the grill before, never tried pizza. Other than smoking up the baking dish the lasagna turned out good but that was on a grill with a lid, Good try on the pizza though.
I wass gonna say that that was a steamer but others beat me to it. I think you gotta get the temp higher for pizza. Maybe a bigger oven too so you get more heat distribution.
So y’all going to open your wood fired pizza business? Just messin great video…. It was worth a shot
Maddie have you ever thought about hiking the Sheltowee Trace in KY? I sectioned it in 2017 and it was great
Haha yeah don't think we'd do well in the pizza biz! I've heard on Sheltowee Trace and done a bit in Red River Gorge. I want to thru hike it eventually but I'll save it for time when I need to be close to home
Maddie, yes of course wash your items
There are protective agents to most new cook and clothing things
Smoke may have been able to do the pizza better
if he had 2 grills; 1 on bottom & 1 on top. Ta Da
Thank you! I couldn't find the words in the moment, but it just feels like stuff gets germs and chemicals from wherever it's made, even if it's a company you trust to have good products!
check out another review on the stove? the outdoor gear review (one word) felt it was extremely dangerous. safety first?
Maddie reminds me of Jessie from Toy Story 😂
Has Smokes ever considered cutting his hair? This is in no way saying he should…i would just love to see what he looks like with short hair….hes a cutie either way
This fool high as fuck haha
A dutch oven is a great way to make a pizza on the fire! :-)
That would be awesome!!
Or a good way to run your partner out of bed….if you know, you know…😂😂
Looks like you have a camerman now
Isn't there something worrying about the name "clifty falls"?
There's a trickling waterfall over a cliff. But people have fallen off and died so it's kind of a practical name AND a dark name
Hi Maddie and Smoke Thank you for sharing with us. I enjoyed your video and Happy New Year to y'all.
Thank you!! Happy new year to you too!
