    I was a bit surprised that you didn't get under the waterfall, and my oldest daughter said "Dad, this might be the first video where Randy doesn't jump in the water." I reminded her that the video wasn't over LOL. Tell Julie that my girls were proud of her for dunking all the way under. They felt the same at String Lake (Grand Teton NP).
    Thanks for sharing as always and Much Love

    After Shane was plummeted by the water, I would have sold the park as “Yeah this shower is an absolute beauty” Hahaha! The swimming hole, as the “Gentleman’s bathtub”. I should go learn to make my own videos, but for now I will continually enjoy your fantastic adventures. You certainly looked very pleasantly happy at the end to be sleeping in a cabin instead of the tent.

    Yahoo falls was one of my favorite places. Iv spent over 8 hours walking there more then once. Iv caught a lot of snakes there. Copper heads mostly baby’s be safe there cause you get bit your not going to make it out to get treated. I was very young and did not realize the danger. Plus watch parking there people will steal your car or anything in it or on it. My sister got married there boy what a beautiful fun wedding. Thank you for sharing this video sure brought back some wonderful times. ❤

      @@AmericasParks you as well 👍 my nephew, used to repel down the arch. Cumberland Falls is amazing. They have a lot of walking paths. My grandma actually got to go under the falls back in her day they would let you go behind it. I probably would invest in a airhorn for purposes of dogs and bear. One more thing and I’ll quit bugging you. There’s a train ride in Stearns Kentucky. It’s a beautiful ride if you ever get a chance take it.

    Pastor Randy, I’m hearing on other channels that some court case was recently overturned allowing the National Park Service to ban commercial video activity for TH-cam, etc.
    Greatly appreciate it if you would do a video on the known facts about this, what it really means going forward (?) and your personal position pertaining to: is this really constitutional?
    I think the case needs to go all the way to the Supreme Court for the sake of freedom, liberty and our constitutional rights that millions of Americans have fought for (and many died for) throughout the entire duration of our national history. Government is FOR the people and it’s time we stand up for our freedom!
