    Robert, I love your videos of the Appalachian mountains. There is simply something magical about the Blue Ridge parkway and the Appalachian mountains. While they are not the biggest or most majestic, there is a magic there that can only be experienced in person.

    That's nice that you got an audio of the "Grandfather Mountain"- very helpful with the rules and safety tips! You've made it to the Marker of the mountain!! It was worth the challenge! Thank goodness you made it through the steep winding road into Tennessee! Whew! That sunrise is Beautiful heading to Asheville, NC. -I love it!🌄 Cracker Barrel, beautiful scenic views, and great friends from Waynesville sounds like a plan!

    I live in Bristol, TN a few miles outside of Elizabethton, so it’s nice to see you enjoying this neck of the woods. I recommend South Holston dam in Bristol, and Roan Mountain State Park/Carver’s Gap the next time you’re in the area. Happy Travels!! 😊

    Living in Tennessee, not too far from Grandfather Mountain, I found your route from Spruce Pine to Asheville very interesting. We occasionly go to the Watauga Lake Winery. You are correct. Definitely no cell signal there. That place is in the middle of nowhere.

    Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎸🎸🎵🎵, the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of my favorite drives. Grandfather Mountain, Crabtree Falls and MT. Mitchell, the highest mountain east of the Mississippi are my favorites along the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is a website that shows you where Wallmart camping is available. OUTSTANDING video Robert👍👍👍! Looking forward to the next series.

    Good morning. I enjoyed this video so much. The mountains are so beautiful. I am wanting to get out and travel some and since summer is almost here I can take a trip. I want to go back to the Smokies and over into North Carolina. I don't live to far from there. Thank you so much for taking us along with you. I always enjoy your channel so much. Have a wonderful and blessed weekend.

    Hi Robert, thanks for reliving fond memories for me of visiting the region with my parents. We visited Asheville, Charlotte and Grandfather Mountain during the Summer of 1997, staying with friends near Roanoke, VA and road-tripping using budget hotels. We also got down as far as Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC on my last major vacation with them, visiting from the UK. Seemed like friendly, laid back part of the world :-)

    I live only 2 hours from Grandfather Mountain but I've been there only twice, 1987! and 2020. Mid afternoon it was busy enough I had to park at the hikers lot and walk the last 3/4 mile up to the bridge. Note the trail you were on leads to the actual summit. There's some rock climbing at the end, so it's not for everyone.

    Hello Robert, I just finished watching your video, Summer 2020 episode 29, of your travel on the Blueridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain. I couldn't believe it, you where in my hometown of Elizabethton, TN. I was raised about two blocks from the Walmart, you did the live feed from. I know exactly where the TN welcome center is, and also the NC welcome center, on I-26. This area of Tennessee, is really beautiful in October, when the leaves are changing colors.

      A couple of days ago I crossed halfway across that bridge. It really doesn’t sway. But the outcroppings on the other side - no way! I can rappel down a 100 foot cliff, but Don’t like standing on such without being tied in. You have courage going all the way to the end - with a camera running, too!

    This video was really cool! I enjoyed the camping especially along the Blue Ridge Parkway. That is near the top of my to-do list! Those steep roads you took down the mountain were a little nerve-wracking but you handled it like a champ! That live stream is still fresh in my mind for some reason. I remember the sun setting in Walmart parking lot and you being unsure of whether or not you would stay the night. Now we know the rest of the story. Sorry for ranting but great stuff as usual Robert! 👍

    So glad I found you.....by chance I have been wavering between an October fall foliage getaway between Wintergreen in Virginia and the Linville Falls Grandfather Mountain area.....and this fantastic episode cemented my thoughts that a trip tracing this episode was the way to go. Look forward to your next adventure as Blue Ridge/Blairsville Georgia is on my list of "go to" places as well...Cheers!

    Anywho, thanks for showing us around Grandfather Mountain. It's been on my bucket list and I've actually driven by a couple of times but didn't go up because of inclement weather. I love the whole Blue Ridge area, nice to re-travel the Byway with you. And yes, those roads do get pretty steep and windy in spots. Don't you hate it when the map program decides to sent you down some back-of-beyond road? Happy trails, man!

But the same vegetables and almost the same spices and herbs. So pretty close. Liked meeting Ile and your Mother. Nice family. You look so happy when with them. Love to see happy people.
