Wish I could take you with me I’m leaving NJ an going for my birthday on May 15 prob leaving last week of May me and my ex gf were going to go but she left for someone else and I love nature and just lost my pet an mom to cancer and wish me an her could have gone on this trip I try to travel on road trips once a year I believe it’s important in life and America is so abundant with beauty an nature you can spend years traveling non stop and still find new beauty
@@05Elantra98GSGang wouldn't mind tagging along. Florida is now 🥵🥵
Hey Russ, I’d keep
My head on a swivel always for snakes, bears and mountain lions. I see a bear each time I travel blue ridge parkway/sky line drive.
I feel the same way.. but I probably will not hug him..😅
There is nothing like Tennessee and North Carolina mountains
Especially in the fall. It’s breathtaking
HEY, Hey, RVerTV Russ, Love The Blue Ridge Parkway,Thank you once again for letting us all pile in.YEA.👍
My great great Grandmother was full blooded Cherokee. Her name was “Comfort Christian”. She lived to be 115 years old.
yeah, ok....
BEAUTIFUL NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA RAISED IN CANTON N.C. AND IN DANVILLE VA ❤❤❤❤
I went to Camp Daniel Boone in Canton many years ago.
hello i had a terrible day at work today and when i got home i didnt know wat to do what to listen to or what to watch,i stumbled on your video and wow it was magic i needed that! thanks great video and awesome audio your voice is soothing thanks keep it up! god bless and drive safely
Loving this video ,,
My Daddy brought all 4 of us kids when we were little’
He’s since passed and then Myself and my Husband Daniel G. Came through here as well ,,
On vacation but now he’s also passed this past yr.
So all these memories are priceless ❤
Thank you Mr. Russ ,, for this Trip ,, I’m getting to see again !!! I’m 77 now ‘
Thanks for the video I'm disabled I can only travel by bus and it's hard I find your videos very calming and it makes you feel like your in the seat !
Haven’t been on the Blue Ridge in years , when I was young , used to go every year. This has been a pleasure brought back a lot of memories. Thank you , you did real … cool.
Soooo LOVE Going on these GREAT Trips, ADVENTURES 😁 !!!
Especially with Your Laid Back, Take Your Time, Discriptive and Gentle Way 🙂!!!
What a GREAT TREAT 😊 !!!
THANK YOU, RUSS !!!
You talked on this video, about not getting to see any much Green💚🍏 out there in Arizona, I get it, I'm from the FingerLakes, NYS.
I am totally used to and Lovin' the Green We have here. Especially after I was in Show Low for 5 months last year. Although there is still a Green out there, with the Ponderosa Pines and some of the growth along the way🙂.
Guess I've taken it for Granted here !!!
Though, I LOVE SL !!!
So Blessed to be able to have gone there !!!
And experience AZ, at least to a degree, bc
I'm mostly stuck in NY.
By the way, it sounds like You're an Arizona transplant ? So, where were You before,
and, how'd You end up there, may I ask ?
Anyway, as We were taking the walk to see the Cataract Falls, Epic You said they were,
I Noticed how Surreal and Vibrant the Green seemed to be there, along that Pathway, waaay more than is NY's !!!!!!
Ok, Back to the Scenic Tour 👍😎
NC my home . That's why I like calling N C home. We are beautiful from the Mountain Tops to all across the Piedmont till you get to the beaches. One beautiful state.
Another beautiful place. ❤❤❤
One of my favorite craft galleries in the country is across the street from the Museum of the Cherokee. The Qualla Co op is definitely worth a stop if you enjoy authentic indigenous art.
It nice for you to tour all these countries for us to see where we live. We have here in southern Alberta Canada and navigate a chance to get down in the states since 2002. Thank you very very much for sharing your journey through all these nice beautiful states may God bless you throughout the years.
You're driving through my most favorite area of our country. The Blue Ridge Parkway. You have no idea how much I wish I was there to see it with you. Lived in Knoxville Tn for 10 years. I spent every chance I had going through all that area. If you ever get the chance go to Maggie Valley, NC. It's my most favorite place to be. I'm so jealous. I hope you're having a great time.
That stretch of US 441 is such a nice drive!
My ears were popping just watching. What beautiful footage ❤
Lived up there in Boone and Asheville for a long time, love being on the parkway especially in winter. Craggy Gardens, Mt Mitchell and a short drive to Linville Falls.
This was fun and the memories 🙂 thanks 👍
On the road again 🎶
Just love your videos and personality, Russ. Been stuck in the house with all this rain here, so it really is a treat, thank you.
Thanks 👍
You’re sweet too, Evelyn
I love NC. Once lived in Hendersonville. I miss it
Why is a Parkway a place to drive, but a driveway is a place to park. Go figure.
Ha ha ha😂 Great observation!
I love traveling along in your road adventures....the quality of your camera lense is outstanding!
Love the guided tour of beautiful North Carolina along with your commentary! You've got a great sense of humor. 😅 What an amazing place!
Thank u so much for a great drive...it's been on my list for years....you did a wonderful job allowing me to experience it.
Love the Veterans Memorial Park! Did not realize that was there! Beautiful! We took the kids camping back 30- 40 years ago, stayed at the KOA in Cherokee! Now my husband and I go to the Casino in Cherokee! Very nice!!
Absolutely beautiful, love Blue Ridge Mountains.
I've been once to that area and we RV'd staying at the Scott Kerr Lake Army Corp of Engineers Campground at Wilkesboro, NC. Great place by the way. We went to the Parkway and up about 15 miles that day to a couple of gorgeous overlooks driving our then "Toad car". Green grasses on the side of the road. We were still living in Florida back then. I think 2018 was when we were there. As for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we liked Smokemont Campground on the NC side near Cherokee. No hookups but they allow daytime generator use and have water and clean restrooms.
Thanks for sharing North Carolina Beautiful mountains , Even more Beautiful looking at it on my TV
Nice video inside the Cherokee museum but you’ve GOT to go inside to feel the reverence and smell the history. Read everything. Plan on 2 hours to do it justice and revisit in the future to catch a ton of stuff you missed the first time! I’ve been four times and counting.
Living in the areas, craggy, mt Mitchell and hearing your excitement makes me realize how we take for granted the areas we live in… My dad and uncles back in the day worked on construction of many places on the BRP, Many locals did back in the day… years ago I had a jeep renegade and in the summer it was awesome to take the top off and ride up to mt Mitchell for a good cool off…. Many places along the parkway their are pipes coming out that have the best mt spring water you can find… you just have to have a bottle… it’s always ice cold… love this video, makes me appreciate home :)
Hi there, new to your channel from San Antonio. My bff and I will be driving from Tennessee to the Biltmore in Asheville, NC in October. Can't wait!!! Your video was spectacular. Thank you!!
Welcome!!
Beautiful Scenery! Thanks for Sharing Russ!
Russ, always enjoy your trips! We took a month long road trip to the west coast a couple of years ago and I used your videos to help plan our route. Taking another long trip this fall to the east coast, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is definitely on the itinerary! Your videos are always so clear and crisp, just like I'm riding in the passenger seat with you! Thanks and keep on truckin'!
We’re you able to visit Cades Cove and drive around the loop? If not, a must see your next trip.
Hello from Gatlinburg! I just left in comments how he missed Clingmans Dome and New Found Gap 😊🌄🏞️
Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park! Great job! I do Vlogs Daily here in Gatlinburg, Smokies , Pigeon Forge...So happy you guys made it here. . Beautiful isn't it?? Come say hi! 🏞️🌄🐻
You missed Clingmans Dome on the right of the TN NC border...Plus FDR dedicated the Smoky mountains Park 60 yrs ago there at NewFound Gap TN 🦋🌄🐻🏞️
This video is super awesome. Loved the museum. Thank you for sharing. I plan to visit.
Thank you for this visit footage! And the museum. I am not enough percent Cherokee blood but so drawn to it. And the green every where!! Now I really want to plan a trip there❤!
Glad you enjoyed your time on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Being an NC resident and only 2 hours from it, I've driven all of the sections, just not contiguously. You missed showing the turn off to Mount Mitchell, the highest point in the east. And Linville Falls, with several miles of trails to a neat waterfall. Also, Rough Ridge at 2:01 is a short but steep hike to an incredible view of Grandfather Mountain, the Linn Cove Viaduct, and the whole valley around it. That parking lot is usually full. Craggy Dome, just north of the visitor center is another short hike to incredible 360 views. You can see all the way to Tennessee!
I loved reliving my travel through the Blue Ridge parkway. Just an awesome ride. I was there in November and it was cold and gloomy but mountains were awesome. the Craft Museum was closed when I was there but I am so glad you walked thru it! I got to experience it with you! thank you Russ!
Hello from Gatlinburg.. Stunning isn't it
Beautiful scenery!! I found most of Alaska’s water however to be very clear and beautiful rather than silty.
Been there done that, thanks for the memories ❤ I started in Chattanooga, TN and ended in Salisbury NC! They have the best transportation museum in my opinion.
Thanks Russ!! Gorgeous scenery. I've never been there. Safe travels!!!
When I was a kid we the family went to North Carolina every year camping . And would travel over to Gatlinburg one full day. Thanks for your video . Brougjt back many memories .
Those are rhododendrons and or mountain laurel. The writing on the wall with waterfalls is the Cherokee language and American language
Thank you for sharing and inspiring my plans to visit the Blue Ridge Parkway! There are 25 tunnels and the shortest is 11'8" so camper vans should be good to go!!!🏞️
Thank you for sharing this beautiful drive! I’m stuck at home, so I really appreciate your travels!! Enjoy!!
Mr Russ, I am wondering what the inside of your RV looks like and what all it offers. The layout of it. I think it would be nice if you could prepare something to eat, sit down and enjoy that! I would enjoy that too. Love going across America with you. Thanks for taking me along.
Absolutely beautiful❤
1:05:10 the Plott Balsam overlook, in the distance is where my wife and I are currently looking at some land for sale. It sits at 4500ft with 60 mile southerly views. You can actually see it as it sits just below the story board when you stopped at that rest area. Absolutely stunning area, every time I go I want to never leave but reality always sets in, gotta go back to work. Thanks for taking me back, I'm hoping to get there in July to walk the property again.
Very good driving back to review a former traveling thru the city meeting with a precious friend and her family....I fell in love with the area ❤
Thanks!
thank you for your support Robert
Lovely little change of pace. Always enjoy your videos whether on land or on sea 😁
We are dying to get back to North Carolina! Thank you for the sneak peak!!!!
Great video! (as usual). Such gorgeous scenery. A dear friend of mine lives near Asheville. I've only been there once so far. So beautiful. Thanks for the wonderful video! Blessings and greetings from central Florida.
Great drive! Things are really greening up on the Parkway. I’m so glad you turned around and got the money shot of the Viaduct for your thumbnail. Beautiful job. There is camping at Julian Price. It’s primitive camping (no water or electric), but it’s there...nice place for a picnic. Thanks for bringing us along. I’m glad you chase the water when you hear it! It’s so nice and relaxing. Have a great week. Jane❤🙏🏻
Hey there, I love the sightseeing that you travel through, North Carolina. There are 6 tunnels that you go through. I watch your videos. I like mountains and pine trees
Blue Ridge parkway is beautiful. My family just got back from a cabin there.
Hi Russ. Wow another great journey so beautiful i call it driving through Gods country when you're up there in the Mts.I have been to Skyline drive in Virgina and it's similar to the Blue Ridge Parkway, fantastic and you're Rite when you talk about the colors in the fall it just takes your breath away.Thanks again for another grand journey, and i will see you again in your journeys.
Thank you for rekindling my memories of the Blue Ridge mountains! The flowers outside the museum, along the painted walkway: rhododendrons. I suspect I’m not the first to tell you! They are everywhere in the Pacific Northwest in spring.
Great trip! I was born in Boone NC near the Parkway! I never saw Cherokee although my Dad hoped we could! I’m the oldest of 7 childbirth! We never went on vacation! Thank you for this video!❤️😀🚙🦌
Truly love your videos. My father-in-law watches your channel faithfully and got us hooked!!We travel to Gatlinburg area every year. In 2016, fires claimed 14 lifes in the Gatlinburg area. My Husband and I unfortunately were there in the middle of the fires but made it out... and the mountains still call us back...
I love the blue ridge parkway.....when I lived in Roanoke VA we traveled it a lot ....it's especially beautiful in the spring and fall. There are 26 tunnels on the parkway 25 in NC 1 in Va
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I’ve driven all of the BRP in North Carolina over the last 50 years. It’s an amazing experience.
Hello Russ so thrilled you could visit in North Carolina i actually live about maybe an hour and half from Cherokee N.C. safe travels through the beautiful Tennessee mountains also through beautiful North Carolina
Great video, thanks for letting me ride along with you Russ.
Kinda funny..we left Saturday morning after the shooting in Laughlin('02)and road straight across the Country to where you are now..the Cherokee Survivor Rally, at the Casino. Stopped at the Spring car show in Pigeon Forge, road thru the Smokies, then Tail of the Dragon, before heading back to NM. Moved to Tenn later that year. Riding the Harley is the best way to travel. But I'm older now so I will be pulling the H-D, but have all the time in the world. Stay safe. ✌
If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was listening to my brother. Great vid. Tganks
I'm currently in AZ working. Been here for a few months and I've watched a lot of your Arizona and Southwest US content for exploration ideas out here. Western NC is home for me so it's really cool to see you exploring my home area.
What an amazing drive. I do love driving hover the Lin cove viaduct as well. The visitors center has a trail you can take that carries you under the viaduct.
Wow ,really cool ,thank you. I would of drove it when I'm driving down from PA to Conway SC but I've looked at it and would add a day onto my 11 hour drive ,it's a pity but it will be on my list . Amazing footage ,well done ,watching from South east Ireland, looking forward to my trip over there in a few weeks. Stay safe my friend . Happy St Patrick's Day
I’m glad you stopped there and seen that museum too. Thank you very very much.
Check it out!!! Simply stunning Russ loved it. I must say it put me in mind of England's Green and pleasent land. especially a national park called "The Lake District" thank you for the ride buddy.
Beautiful as always. Thanks, Russ! ❤️☺️
Ft mountain is a beautiful place especially when it snows you cant beat the north ga mtns that pie looked awesome love the background music
I live in Charleston SC , I love the mountains .
Thank you Russ. I enjoyed it immensely. In the middle to late 70s I lived in Stuart's Draft VA and would go up on parts of the parkway, enjoyed it very much.
Beautiful. We hope you can visit the spectacular Outer Banks of our state.
What a beautiful ride. I was born in Charlotte, used to visit near there many years ago. Thanks for the drive through, it’s so green down there.
Yes, there was the great fire of 2016 in gatlinburg. You can google it. It was on national news. Wiped out homes and people in hours. I remmber it well. I had my truck packed and dog and ready to roll cause I was one way in and one way out in nc side. Long night. Hurricane type winds just sent the fire reeling out of control and out of the park and through and across gatlinburg. Trapping many. The perfect storm. It is on Wikipedia and was in national
News. Devastating
😪
Great Tour, Brought back many memories. Have been over the Blue Ridge Parkway you traveled & locations you visited. Nature produces the 4 Seasons & you went through right time, as Winter the roads never are great to be on. Ouch. Safe Travels. always, Tommy🤠
Absolutely breathtaking, I've been wanting to relocate , this just may be the place. Thank you for sharing your journeys.
Hi, thank you for touring Cherokee museum there that is beautiful. I am seen that I know it’s been a first time seeing it through your eyes buddy
Beautiful drive. I miss the days of going here.
At the end of the Folk Art Museum, you mentioned 2 items that you didn't know what they were. The first were wire brushes used to card, or straighten fibers before spinning. The second thing was a foot-powered jig saw -- an ingenious idea -- with pedals!
Thank you for sharing I feel like I’m caravanning with you on your travels so nice and detailed
Great videos. Living just outside Boone NC I almost take the Parkway for granted riding my motorcycle on it often. As a retired pilot I really enjoy your travel adventures.
Hello from Gatlinburg!! I was just there 2 weeks ago...I've watched this before but wanted to say hello again 🏞️🌄
Hello there!
Thank you for taking me home. Im sooo homesick. You dont see that in Florida
We had a navy reunion planned for Gatlinburg but had to change locations due to a fire. I was really looking forward to seeing the Smoky Mountains. After seeing your video makes me want to plan another trip. Thanks for putting in the time for these videos.
LOVE MY BEAUTIFUL STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA !!!
Enjoyed the snickers and laughs!
I reminisce with your videos to see what’s changed
beautiful
New subscriber! Thank you. I like listening to you and seeing everything as you do. I lived in NC for many years. It’s just beautiful!
Gatlinburg is my 2nd home and I love it so!! ❤
Being in a van in the rain would be awesome to me!
wonderful
