    It is great that you promote local businesses along the way. Small towns can always use help. Buy an ice cream cone, eat at a local restaurant, or, in your case, buy a beer or two. It is always sad to see little towns with boarded up shops. And every little town has history and interesting little nooks and crannies. Thanks for another great video! I always love the birds I hear in the background.

      I'm 65 and my Dad told me when I was maybe 9 or so that one day people will be sorry they did not think about the locals that serve them all their lives.. when they are all gone.. Son buy what ya can local even if it cost more.. unless it's a truly unfair price.. buy it... it will keep you employed.. and them happy ! He was right.. we are now watching his words play out around the world.... but mostly here in the USA.. Sad !!! Such a waste.. all to save a few dollars to end up with no small towns left..

      You may mention if they have grocery stores and resturaunts..delis..cafes etc. Food and supplies are a big draw...at least for me. Love the peace and beauty and bird sounds

    “A wonderful bird is the Pelican.
    His beak can hold more than his belly can.
    He can hold in his beak
    Enough food for a week!
    But I'll be darned if I know how the hellican?”

    It is best to FRY okra rather than boil it. Then you avoid the slime. The bird you heard in town was undoubtedly a mockingbird. I miss the South in the winter but NOT in June-July-August!

    Hi Slim, that was a beautiful park and spot you had. Very interesting the little quiet town of Stevenson. Nice of you to say to encourage the local shops, tourists must be their livelihood.
    As for your supper, I will skip that recipe. Hihi... We laughed so much as you described your meal. A good thing you had that other beer to wash it down. Happy trails and stay safe.

    Hey Slim, you're about 60 - 70 miles from Scottsboro AL, where you'll find Unclaimed Baggage, where lost luggage from airlines around the world ends up. Worth a stop to look, I've gotten a bit of camping gear there in years past. Good video.

      @Regina0964 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      How much is it to get inside the unclaimed baggage place?? Sounds like an interesting place to find a lot of strange things I'm sure to practical things, the camping items would be what I'd like to find...

    I am from Louisiana ,& our state bird is the Brown Pelican. I am accustomed to observing these big birds forcefully dive into the water for their meal or sit on wooden posts or fly noisily together as a flock. I must say that I have never seen a white pelican before. They almost remind me of the swans at City Park in New Orleans, Surprisingly, Their bird behavior (swimming & fishing together) was much more graceful than the brown pelican. The music was perfect for the "Pelican ballet" . Loved it...

    THANK YOU for being you! I'm in my 70's and had always thought these years would be peaceful and contemplative. Not the case: two of my previous employers continue to ask for analysis and advice. One is a financial institution - they are extremely concerned over the current state of the economy. The other is a government technology group - they also have their concerns. When I tune into your videos I feel suddenly relaxed - you cannot underestimate what this means to me. Again, thanks.
