Enduring Hurricane Nicole While At Vogel State Park In Georgia

- Hurricane Nicole tried to ruin our Georgia State Park trip... in November! But we just hunkered down as it dropped a ton of rain on us as well as a little tropical storm wind while we spent one day exploring Vogel State Park in the mountains of GA and one day just hunkered down riding out the storm. But all was well. We woke up to everything wet, a few downed tree limbs and mountains streams and waterfalls swollen from all the rain.

I thought you were going to say that the best simple meal starts with squirrel.
Neither one of us caught that… not a good segue 🤣.
ha! i thought that too!
Lol!
I love watching you guys! Your low key easy going nature is so pleasant. I also appreciate your openness to having your subscribers and viewers stopping by for a bit. I’m quite envious. Safe travels and God bless.
Thank you Mark for your kind comment. It is much appreciated!
“Eat it slow!” 🌭
Is a command obeyed by no dog ever. 🐶
So very true… Thanks for watching.
Beautiful site and waterfalls! I love listening to the rain when we are laying comfy in our RV bed too! :o)
Having a comfy place to lay and read a book sure helps when it’s raining. Thanks for watching.
Changing leaves have some of the most beautiful designs in them. And what great photos of the creek! Beautiful state park! I look forward to visiting!
I totally agree with the designs of the leaves… it’s the small things, if only you pay attention. Thanks for sharing.
I used to live an hour from there. I’ve cycled those roads hundreds of times. North GA is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Cycling those mountains without an e-bike would be tuff and so awesome.
Always enjoy your videos with scenery and the crunching of the dry leaves!! Music is great and conversation you have with us. Thank you for taking me along on your journey and adventures. Watch out for your back Owen !! Those wieners look mighty tasty!! As always BS & BK & BC !!
So nice of you
Different storm, of course, but I was laying listening to similar rain last night in my Ontour at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds on my way south from Portland oregon for the winter. Nothing cozier than laying in a comfortable bed listening to the storm blowing outside.
We couldn’t agree more. Thanks for watching and have a safe trip.
Always enjoy your videos! And we love Vogel and so many other parks that you've documented. Thank you for all of your posts. *and kudos on the background music in all of your videos. Always a good fit.
Thank you so much, we appreciate your kind comment.
Best meals are simple. Very true and we live by that motto especially when camping. Hot dogs and or hamburgers are the best. Another great video at our favorite Georgia state park too. Hello to Mags! Juanita and David
There’s also something about eating and cooking out doors that makes everything better too. Love you guys.
We REALLY enjoyed this video. It was so good to meet you while at Vogel SP. We didn't realize Owen had hurt his back when we saw you. Glad to see he's doing better. Vogel is our true happy spot as we've been camping there for twenty or so years now. Thank you for the shout out in the video. Hope you get to return to VSP after the renovations are completed, which will include wifi in the campground. Safe journeys to all three of you, and we hope our paths cross again.
It was great meeting you both and we appreciate all the great suggestions of things to do close by, we will go back for sure since we didn’t get to do a lot while we were there. It’s a beautiful park and I can see why it’s your happy place.
My Sunday morning treat is spending a little time with you all. Love the variety of film shots and your use of every feature available even underwater! We’re headed south in January-February and staying at one Georgia state park on the way back but might extend to others after watching your video. By the way do you use your Solo stove in the campsite fire ring?
We appreciate you spending part of your Sunday morning with us. We do not use the solo stove in the fire ring, I don’t think you need to. It is very safe and never leaves and kind of burn marks on the surrounding area.
We do like that park, so beautiful especially in the fall. That north Ga area is pretty, and a lot around to do. Yum, hotdogs. Simple is good. Enjoyed. 🙂👍
There were so many things we didn’t get to do around this park, we will have to return. Thanks for watching.
Vogel was our go to RV camping destination for many years. The Hemlock Trees along the campsite road and Wolf Creek 🙂.
I can see why… it’s a beautiful place.
Vogel is one of the most popular state parks in Georgia. You were about 10 to 15 miles from Neels gap where the AT crosses through a hiker hostel and hiking supply store. I can’t wait to see where you go next.
I can see why it’s so popular… there were so many things we didn’t get to do including Neels gap, we will be going back.
We didn't stay in Vogel, but we went for the day. Thoroughly enjoyed our hikes and a beautiful day!!!
It is a beautiful place for hikes and just hanging around the lake, would be great in the summer too. Thanks for watching.
Great video! We love this park. It's definitely going on our list for the Spring. I know Maggie was happy with the stream so close. We'll definitely take the bikes on that trip. That's what I love about the ebikes, they make the hills so easy, you don't just get exhausted on on the ride. Much love from SC, Jane ❤🙏
We will be going back for sure, there was so much we didn’t get to see while we were there. Thanks for spending part of your Sunday morning with us.
Vogel State Park is probably my favorite park! I have enjoyed walking around Lake Tralyta the past several years when vacationing near Blairsville! I just love that area!
I can see why it’s your favorite. It’s way up there on our list too. thanks for watching.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle I definitely fell in love with the area when I first came up here for vacation in 2004, and I’ve been coming up ever since! My brother has property near Dahlonega😁
We are Georgia state park fans, they do a good job maintaining the parks.. Looking forward to more reviews.
This one is going to really nice when they complete all the renovations, since they are doing them in sections it didn’t really affect us. It’s a beautiful park.
Vogel is a sort of mountain bowl that makes for a beautiful hole in the fabric of mobile data connectivity. We also got rained on so hard that Wolf Creek overflowed and washed out the poor tent campers across from us in Site 68. Hopefully fixing that was part of your detour. But that waterfall was AMAZING after all that rain.
They are doing a lot of renovations. It’s going to really nice when they are done.
You are right, simple is better and did you see how smart Maggie is? She stepped on the plate to stop it from moving as she licked it clean. Amazing little girl. Cheers 😙🥂😘
We think Maggie is pretty amazing too. She brings us so much joy.
👍👍👍👍👍 ATT doesn’t work any better there.
I think that’s still the state’s most popular park.
Had a picnic lunch at Anna Ruby yesterday, perfect weather.
Great video guys as always.
That same storm ran us out of St Augustine.
Thanks for sharing that ATT’s doesn’t work either. I can see why Vogel is the states most popular park, it’s going to be even better when all the renovations are done. Beautiful!!!
I love watching your videos every Sunday morning!
Thank you so much, we do appreciate you watching.
Living in the area I have really enjoyed God's country we have a lot of things that y'all could enjoyed as well hope to see y'all back in Georgia y'all come back you hear💕🌹🦋🇺🇲⚓ my best time is in the fall
I totally agree “it is God’s country”. We will be coming back, there were so many things we left undone.
This video made me a little homesick for north Georgia……lived in Gainesville for >20 years and loved camping at Vogel, Anna Ruby Falls and around the Helen and Dawsonville areas. Glad y’all weathered the storm well! I now live in the NC triangle area but you have inspired me to return to North Georgia in the spring!! Happy tails!!!
It is a beautiful place. This was our first time and we will be going back for sure.
Another great Georgia State Park....Happy Trails 🐕
Yes, it was. Thanks so much for watching.
I love Vogel! The lake has Rainbow Trout in it.
That’s good to know, I’ll make sure Owen takes his fishing pole next time. thanks for sharing.
That babbling brook turned into a rushing river with all that rain from Nicole! Grew up going to Vogel State Park every summer. It's beautiful. That road is curvy. My Dad used to fly on that curvy road trying to scare me. It worked. lol The Applachian trail does run through Mountain Crossings at Neel Gap. It's the only part on the 2200 mile hike that the AT actual goes through a building. There's also a tree that everybody throws their hiking boots in when they decide to quit their AT hike after the approach trail which is one of the hardest parts of the trail. My Aunt & I ran off the side of the mountain in her Volkswagen Bug on that curvy road when I was a kid. It was a cold, dark, rainy night. I'll never forget it. Luckily the trees and brush stopped us from going all the way down the side of the mountain. We hiked up to Mountain Crossings in the middle of the night to call someone from the phone booth for help, but the phone didn't work. My Dad came out looking for us when we didn't arrive home when we were supposed to. He found us asleep and cuddled up in the phone booth. Love seeing all the Georgia state parks!
Thanks for the smile Sandra. My dad did the same thing with curvy roads. Guess it's a dad thing. 😂
Living in Georgia we have been to Vogel several times, glad to experience it, it’s a park to visit! Y’all made those hot dogs look so yummy! Once again, I’m enjoying your travels through your lens!
We wished we were able to stay longer to enjoy all the things in the surrounding area. Thanks for watching this morning.
Great looking park to camp at. Nice hikes and bike trails. That looked good to do cooking hot dogs over a fire the old fashion way. Lol! That’s my way of cooking a hot dog. Maggie was cute when asked about the hot dogs and how many. She’s cute anyway. So glad you stayed in the Ekko from the rain/ storm. Glad you were alright from the storm. Sorry you to leave in the rain. Hope you have a great rest of the week.
Thanks Sherri, we decided to drive south to get out of the rain and the storm. Thanks so much for watching.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle
Glad you left to get out from the storm. And glad you are safe.
I could spend the whole day on that swing by the water. Thank you for taking us along and we are still praying for your back. Happy tails and safe travels.
That swing was pretty relaxing place. The back is getting better, if Owen will just not over do it. Thanks for following along.
Great video! Beautiful Park!
If you ever get a chance check out Black Rock Mountain State Park in Clayton GA! Its the highest elevation state park in the state with incredible views and great accommodations!
We tried to stay there but we couldn’t get a site. We’ll have to go back and stay there, we had heard it was a great place. Thanks for the suggestion.
Gettin wet Owen. Nice park.
Yes, we got a little wet on this one
Enjoyed your video of Vogel.
Thank you, we appreciate you watching.
Thanks! Definitely putting this State Park on our "Go To" list! Hope your back troubles subside soon Owen. Just went through a couple weeks of it myself. Not fun, but all good now.
It takes forever for it to get better doesn't. I'm in what I call "the danger zone" now. Feels good. Almost perfect! That's when I usually do something stupid.
Nicole cut our stay at Hunting Island SP a day short. 😢 We spent two days of rain at Givhens Ferry SP. Cancelled our visit to Charleston too. We had a great time on the rest of the trip, and gives us a reason to go back!
So sorry it cut your trip short. We almost stopped as well, but changed our reservation to be behind the storm instead of in front of it. And having reasons to go back to both of those areas is a good thing. Thanks for being with us.
Love this. Hopefully by the time we see this video, you will have left Seminole Park. Be careful with sharing where you're going. Crazy World.
Yes... we know! But we don't mind meeting up with subscribers when we're traveling. But usually videos run a week or two behind. Thanks for caring about our safety.
We're in a dark, rainy day here in Pennsylvania (maybe the same storm), so this episode really fits the day. Praying for Owen's back. Long time pain wears you out. Thanks for doing what it takes to share your adventures and thank you for being sweet friends!
That storm was on 11/11 so I sure hope it's not the same one 😀. We use dreary dark days for editing and chores... and naps. 🤣
Love your videos!!! Maggie is so adorable 🥰. I enjoy your adventures guys 🥰🥰
Thank you so much… we appreciate you watching.
Beautiful camping spot! Owen, prayers for your back!
Thank you Joyce!
Edisto Beach State Park in South Carolina is really nice
Thank you. Been there and loved it. Had it been warmer at the end of this trip we would have returned. Quaint little beach town.
What a beautiful campsite, and the rest of the Park as well. I would definitely enjoy that scenery. So glad your back is doing better Owen. It’s hard limiting yourself when things must get done. Hurricane season lasts from June until the end of November so that’s not uncommon at all really to get them this late. As always - wishing you safe travels, stay well and a hug & smooch for Maggie. :)
Maggie said THANKS!
OMG. Life without cell phones. Impossible
It is hard to think of life without cell phones, we are so dependent on ours.
Such a beautiful park especially at this time of year. Have to say your choices of what to photograph is exquisite.
Which park do you think is the steepest/windy, Vogel or Cloudland Canyon? Hubby and I were discussing.
Thank you! We didn't make it to Cloudland this time but I can't imagine it being steeper and curvier than Vogel's roads. 😀
Love the videos of all of you walking away from the camera but who runs back to retrieve the camera ? Maggie ?
We take turns going back. It means most 2-mile hikes take nearly 3 miles of walking up and back all the time. 😂👍
The 515 route is much safer and a easy drive . You go through Blairsville
Thanks for the suggestion.
Definitely like a ballpark or a Nathan's on the open fire
We usually prefer Nathan’s if we can find them. Thanks for watching.
Owen can you tell me please what type of device do you have in the Winnebago echo that shows how many bars of cell service you have?
Most of the time we're just looking at the cell signal area at the room or our iPhones. We also use an app called Speed Test.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Thank you 😊
