  • Driving the entire Blue Ridge Parkway in three days, travel vlog.
    We decided to make the most of the summer and explore the 469 mile mountain road that begins in central VA and ends at the bottom of Western NC. We had only three days to make it across the parkway, so we hit the road with no expectations and no destination.

    How nice to see two young couples enjoying those mountains. The wife and I did it in 1962, but she was a native of the Balsams (part of the Parkway), and I was an outlander. We did 60 years together. May you young couples enjoy life as much as we did. Have fun guys. Enjoy life and your trip, no matter how many years. There is some poetry in your souls, and it shows.

    I so much enjoyed your authentic video. I plan on motorcycling the entire Blue Ridge Parkway soon and even adding Skyline Drive to the northern part.
    You captured so many scenic spots and hikes that I’ll incorporate into my adventure. All the best.,

    This is a great place. In 2002, Sri Rajesh Unny who was working in Washington DC took me to this very scenic beautiful place and I recommend this to be seen and enjoyed by all visitors to DC. A great place to admire, relax, cherish and remember for ever.

    We bought property 30 seconds away from the parkway not far from where you stopped for lunch in meadows of Dan,
    I was born in Christiansburg, but raised up north and have always had a huge love for the blue ridge mountains, am so proud to now own my own piece of the beautiful blue ridge.

    Thanks for the trip. I am new to the Parkway and in the process of planning a 3 day in May 2021 and a 8 day trip in July 2021. I can't get enough of the beauty, peace and awesomeness of the Parkway

    Great video! Wish I was young enough to camp as I did when I was young! Will drive the parkway this year(2021) in December! You seem like a great bunch of kids! I’m 72 so I hope saying kids is ok!

  • @hagridssister

    Well done! We are from Fayetteville NC and heading up to Grandfather Mountain area this weekend and you guys have indeed inspired me to take time off from work soon and drive through the Blue Ridge Parkway.

    You deserve to get some comments on this. I think your philosophical insights are as moving as your music. That is one of my favorite drives. And, believe it or not, as I watched this, (while camping at the beach in NC), I happened to be wearing the Shadowgrass tee shirt I bought from your mother! For real!

    Gonna spend some time on the Blue Ridge this October. Came across your video. Really glad I did. Got me a copy of your song now too. Keep on keepin on! Hope to hear more from y'all musically... Good stuff. Great to catch such talent in the early stages. Thanks for sharing this little part of your life with us.

  • @grn724

    So its 3am my cat is soooo awake I started looking for videos of NC since my husband and I are planning to move there, found your video and everyrhing was so nice until the -following- situation, I literally choke up on air and fell dizzy.. still trying to recover...anyway we'll have to be very careful and pray it doesn't happen to us.. Nice video, good luck with everything!

    Awesome photography guys! It really looks like you're there! What did you shoot this on?

    • @highlandreverie
      @highlandreverie  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! It was all shot on a Cannon SL2

  • @stevek634
    @stevek634 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. A few questions. Was there cell service? How was the coverage? Was it spotty service? What cameras were the picture taken on? Make and model and lens type please. Thanks

    • @highlandreverie
      @highlandreverie  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Cell service is better than most national parks but still pretty spotty. All the shots were on a cannon sl2 with 10-18mm efs lens and an 18-55 kit lens for some longer stuff.

    What a great video. This felt like a professional documentary and learning it was your music at the end just topped it off perfectly.
    I was on the parkway earlier today around Little Switzerland after a weekend with my wife and friend where we walked the mile high bridge. Im terrified of heights, lol. But what you said about living is true and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Don’t know if I’ll ever be brave enough to do the whole thing though. Keep doing what you do. This made me even more glad to have been able to experience a piece of it.

    I love this video! I love you kids! For the record, I could be your gramma! Grampa and I are planning to do the Parkway from Cherokee to the northern end in June 2021, tent camping along the way. We are starting in Tampa and will make our first stop at Red Top Mtn. State Park north of Atlanta...then on to Cherokee and the Parkway. Your beautiful video is inspiring. Thank you!

    How many hours did you drive per day?

    • @highlandreverie
      @highlandreverie  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s hard to estimate because we made a lot of short stops but Including the three hour drive to the northern entrance it was around 7 hours the first two days and almost 12 on the third day

    "Luke & Madison" thanks for the invite on this video. "No Destination / Driving The Entire Blue Ridge Parkway" is really well done & I had to go through this adventure story more than one time with all its variety. The original music & instrumental tracks flowed smoothly throughout the entire video. For me on this video I would mostly go for: hiking trails, sunsets, mountains, waterfalls, expansive views, campfires & pictures (if the weather was good). Also I thought the commentaries (explaining a spoken account of an event as it happens) were family oriented.

    As a Blue Ridge fan myself, I was most impressed with this video. I've never seen one that starts at the beginning of the parkway and continues all the way to the end. I'm also incredibly impressed with all you kids, how clean cut and well mannered you are! At the risk of sounding old-fashioned, I was amazed that you could pull off the narration without a single swearword. That's extremely rare these days. I'll be watching out for more videos from you guys. By the way, I loved Luke's song. Great work!

    Never pull over on the parkwAy for blinking lights you'd never be able too tell this good story besafe! The parkway and mountains are very tricky and criptic
