    Thanks Justin, Through your eyes we get to visit these gems of the America. There is so much to see enough for a channel all to itself.

    I have been to Rock City countless times since I was a small child, and I love seeing everything from your perspective! You captured such beautiful footage too. And I love all of your comments, observations, and enthusiasm :)

    Excellent video. Loved when Justin became philosophical towards the end - he is 100% correct.

    If anyone didn't know at 20:09 when he says "as above so below" it is a reference to a movie about the Paris catacombs and people getting lost in them.

    Thanks for the recommendation! I'm from Nashville TN and was looking for something to do last weekend so we decided to take a quick road trip to Rock City... We loved it! The whole place is also pet friendly so my dog Bailey got to join us too! Thanks for all the videos you do.

  • @jackallen6261
    @jackallen6261 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    There is a state park about 85 miles north of old 66 west of Fairview Oklahoma called Gloss Mountains. It's a flat top series of painted desert looking mountains and one of them has stairs MOST of the way up the last 50 or 75 feet though is a RICKETY little hand rail and some kinda flat rocks to get to the very top and I can ASSURE you I was in the same mode as you were at the lovers leap thing except for the fact that on Gloss Mountain there are ZERO hand rails around the top of the mountain and about a 200 foot shear cliff. I did it...once...NEVER again, lol. "You can't see them with your eyes, you see them when your spirit leaves your body when you look over the edge" That has to be the MOST EPIC statement EVER! I love it! This is the best episode so far I have seen of your videos, Thank you for your terror!

  • @1lorett1
    @1lorett1 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Dude, I FEEL you. I despise heights. Bravo for doing it! When you're there, you just gotta do it. And I'm sure you feel great knowing you conquered your fear.

  • @sheilacampbell3878
    @sheilacampbell3878 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    So Cool that Tyler lives only about 30 miles from our home in Chattanooga Tennessee and Justin was here in our neck of the woods and visited Rock City!! Enjoy your videos! Keep doing what you do and making us LAUGH!!!!!!!! 😎😎

    @aprilnasworthy4669 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @pamelahicks517
    @pamelahicks517 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    The heights nearly did me in. My favorite place was the Fairy Tale Caverns. Loved all the dioramas. It was a beautiful place, but it needed higher guardrails. You and Tyler could be on a talk show/vlog. You have a fantastically clever interaction. Whenever you get homesick, just click your heels together and repeat, There's no place like gnome, there's no place like gnome....
    Yeah, I know it's corny. I always look forward to your vlogs!!! 😊

  • @crazydogladynikki
    @crazydogladynikki 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How fun! I hate heights too, you are very brave, glad you survived =) I really like everything you said at the end during the sunset too. And Tyler's sadwomen.com joke had me rolling! :D! Guess your on the road again, I am having the best time and I haven't even left CA! Thanks again for all you do Justin, and keep being safe please, you got lots of people who care for you.

    @retrobebop61 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    So cool! I was there as a kid but the only thing I remember was the swinging bridge . I, too, am terrified of heights 😳. I really enjoyed this. Vid.....and I am truly grateful that none of the creepy figures were animatronic......nobody moved .....or that would up the creepy factor 😱!

    Seriously one of the best vlogs ever on ever. Those dioramas remind me a little of Enchanted Forest in Oregon, and I'm just going to keep suggesting it until it happens. Enchanted Forest - The Disneyland of the Northwest! (as I call it)

    @kstanek87 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You should take a road trip up to Oregon sometime. Near Salem Oregon there is an amusement park there called the Enchanted Forest, it's like a mini version of Disneyland. I think you would really like it. You should do a vlog there sometime.

    If you ever happen to visit Tyler in November or December, be sure to go back and check it out. They go all out for Christmas. Adam The Woo was there at Christmas time a couple of years ago. I've lived here all my life, haven't been to Rock City since I was a kid, and this video makes me want to go back and check it out.

    Best video ever!! I live in middle Georgia, went up to the top of Lookout Mountain around 1973, didn't get to see anything because it was in January and 5 degrees on top of the mountain, so everything was closed. Thank you for finally taking me there! Do they also still have the Rainbow Caverns tour? Loved it Justin!

    You're leaving tomorrow? But... it's Tyler Evans. One does not simply leave Tyler Evans. See if he wants to share some of his writing before you go, or maybe just talk about writing in general. The other day you guys touched on the fact that he took a break from writing. I'd like to know more about that, if he's willing to share.

    @rheaking7253 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I went to UTC and never had the chance to visit Rock City. It was great seeing what I missed--even though, I would never be able to cross the bridges or go up to the overlooks that you went to (my whole body clenched up whenever you would go over any of those things--I can't imagine how it would feel to be there myself.) Next time you are in the area, go to Ruby Falls.

    that was incredible...except for the lookouts and the waterfall. heights make me violently ill and although I wasn't there I began to get sick just watching. I have no idea how you were able to do that. I would of lost my lunch...I almost did anyway lol. oh ya...CRACK HEAD!...really LOLOL. I have never heard of rock city and I lived in Nashville for 6 years. good one...again.

  • @tekeguy68
    @tekeguy68 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video but you pretty much summed up exactly my internal monologue when it comes to heights. Heights never bothered me until I hit 30 but I can't even watch any "over the edge" vids. That place looks awesome but how is it not littered with dead bodies that fell over all the very short walls going over very long drops. Like seriously a gust of wind, a hard sneeze, catching a crack with your shoe or getting that shaky feeling of CERTAIN DEATH are all that separates you from meeting a rock at great speed.

  • @corieddings5713

    I know I'm a week late, but you should really see Ruby Falls while you're there. It's very close to Rock City and is an extremely long underground cave system with waterfalls etc, a lot of which done in UV.
