I'm the one that has a b-class van just like yours and I've asked you questions before and thank you for the answers. I come from ministers in our family and my grandfather physically built a church in the town where I was raised. Praise God for all you do and for His guidance.
Once again I am blessed to visit with you and share the peace of God through his love to his children. This video was very special to me when I saw the old cotton mill on the river. It brought back memories of sitting with my grandmother and listening to her. When she was a child had to work in a mill like this one. She was only nine at the time she went to work. She was pulled out of school to help her family makes the bills and buy food. Her mother had died leaving a baby boy Arthur , who also passed a month or two later since her mother's death and then they lost another child sister, Essie age nine. Times during that period of our history contain many memories or family fighting each day to exist. I dearly loved the video, all of the beautiful waterfalls and rock outcroppings. Your prayers are a true blessing to me and I know to all your viewers. Tears I cannot hold back as I write these words. Hugs to Winston and my love to you and all your family. Always, in Jesus name,
We were there over July 4th weekend. Actually, stayed in a cabin outside of Smithville and visited Rock Island State Park. Beautiful waterfalls. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. Love Winston!
We have some great state parks in Southern Middle Tennessee. You should check out Old Stone Fort. It is our favorite park close by. We live in Winchester.
Our family would have an annual gathering at Rock Island every year for quite a few years. But we rented one of their fabulous cabins. Very peaceful atmosphere. Very nice inside with plenty of rooms for sleeping and bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen. Nice porches. Loved it.
Hi Mike and Karen and Winston! Love every one of your videos. Do you have a shoulder harness type thing for Winston when he rides up front? We use one for our Crickett (chihuahua) after being advised by a friend and it doesn't bother her and we like that security. God bless you.
Enjoyed the tour guys ! Mike i cook my burgers with Montreal also , its the best ! we havent been to Rock Island yet but it looks incredible ! Enjoy hearing your backstory !
Beautiful State Park and Love the waterfalls.....God sure Blessed us with all his creations...really enjoy your prayers before you eat and your fireside chats...I could live in that Rock House, it was so neat and lots of history.....Thanks again for all you do for us to be able to watch you both... GOD BLESS
I really love your content! Me and my husband are about to head to Almond, NC in about 10 days from Ohio and I stumbled upon your channel last year while researching NC. You both seem so sweet and couple goals 💜God Bless
My husband is from McMinnville, and we lived there several years. Great memories of my best girlfriend and me taking our boys there swimming. She and I were fortunate enough to revisit Rock Island last fall while my husband had some quality time with some of his music buddies.
Thank you for coming to Middle Tennessee and showing off one of our great State Parks in the area. We have many hidden gems in this region, and hope you can both come back and explore other sites. Burgess falls and Old Stone Fort to name just two. So glad to join you on your journeys.
We loved our stay at Rock Island. We stayed in a cul de ask at the bottom of a hill. We also visited different waterfalls and went down some very slippery steps. Me being clumsy and scared of heights, my husband kinda took advantage at my expense … lol 😂 😉 I would definitely go again and recommend. Thanks for sharing your video. Very nice as always 🤗
My husband and I are retired new at the camping life and love it! Wonderful relaxing and inspiring to watch you guys, absolutely love it! Enjoy the cooking and fireside chats. I’m subscribed to Karen’s blog… God blessings on you both! Enjoy!❤
We are a family of 6 adults and a 6 year old and a Boston Terrier,we have 4 tents and we car camp in our provincial parks with 2 or 3 sites. We manage well without water and electricity. We have been camping for over 40 years and prefer sites that are on or have beach access. We may get a trailer down in retirement in a couple of years but still enjoy our tent. We gave a cabin style one so you can walk around in it. We have a sitting area and potty room. We took our 3 sons camping from newborn age and as adults with family still enjoy our trips. We like treed sites and privacy too.
Haha I meant to post this on another channel that asked about how we camp. I am happy to have such a lovely couple as yourselves know too. Our Boston absolutely loves Pugs like Winston
Hey y’all,,me & my wife Dana have been watching yer videos for a year or more now, never commented on here till now,, so proud of you too for yer # 1 faith, scenery, info on places! We live in Sanford NC so we visit our Blue Ridge Mountains a lot!! Just a big Thank You for yer channel. ♥️y’all & stay safe! Give Winston a hug from us🙏
Oh my goodness, you guys were so close to us! About 20 minutes away! We love Rock Island! You should check out Rock Island Treasures just south of there on 70.
Love the State Parks, more woodsy and a real camp feel over resorts. Nothing wrong with trying them out, though, for other to see. Ty for sharing and appreciate the mild spirit 😊 Happy Camping 🏕 also what grade meat do you use for smash burgers? Ty
You guys need to visit black water fall state Park it really nice I it dose got no water right now we had a drought west Virginia next the Davis west Virginia
Love your videos. I plan to visit Rock Island soon. Where did you get the miniature fire pit? I’d liked to get one to put on our motor home for those nights when it’s too warm for a large fire. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Hi Mike and Karen! I hope you both are doing well. Kyle and I just watched your video. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The state park looked very nice and the waterfalls were beautiful. 😍 Winston is so cute and big now! 💙🐾 Are y’all thinking about moving to the west coast or just traveling there in your van? God bless you guys!! ❤
The drive back to Twin Falls is tight for sure. I've seen small motor homes go back there. I didn't notice it but did you see the taxidermy fish display in the gift shop / office? We're gonna be at Rock Island again in October if all works out. Certainly one of our favorite parks. Glad you guys went. We're gonna be in site 5 and do some kayaking and fishing..
Lived in McMinnville for all of my childhood til High School graduation Rock IsLand was made a State Park while I lived there in 60s thru 1975.. yes that building WAS there before..been all over and when it was first opened.. myself and girlfriends were exploring and got locked in …as teenagers we didn’t see the sign Gates locked at Sunset!!! Had to walk to a Ranger station to get him to unlock the gate..😅
What a pretty state park! I made smash burgers the other night for the first time. That was the first time I got a hamburger to turn out and they were good it didn’t fall apart either ..
Beautiful Park and Waterfalls. Are you guys full time RV Ing ?? Our daughter and her husband are selling their house buying land and going full time Traveling in their camper.
Just learned an interesting fact about Rock Island, a movie called The Specialist starring Sylvester, Stallone, James Woods, and Sharon Stone was filmed there
Y’all are such a blessing. It’s so nice to watch TH-camrs who are Christian’s. Please remember my family when you pray. Now on to the next video!
