13:15 - Oh, thank God! A much calmer tour guide! Not that the girl was bad, she just talked so fast it made my head spin!
Agree, I had to fast forward.
I had trouble understanding a lot of what she said.
I agree I would hate to know I paid to have to hear that.
Geez, she was a little annoying.😣
She has it all memorized and she is going as fast as she can to get it over with.
That tour guide is on her 9th Monster Energy drink of the day.
HR Pufnstuf. Who’s your friend when things get rough?
Ya she's..a bit too too much.. Easy on the crack there lady.. Wow.. Someone should be saying shut up.. You are talking far too much Lady wow..lol wow
@@2keeperv Yeah, she was about as annoying a person as I've ever seen
🤣👍😂
Something tells me she is single.lol
Visited there over 30 yrs ago on my honeymoon. They had glass bottom boats then and you could see the fish swimming underneath the boat. Glad to see it is still going. Thx for sharing!
Went there back in the early 80's when I was a child. Remember it & Enjoyed it 👍
I've been to this place maybe 10 times in my life since living counties over, usually on field-trips for school pretty cool place.
I’ve camped out in the cave back in 1989 with our JROTC class. Pretty cool experience.
Went there as a child, been over 20 years since I've been. Kind of figured that place shut down. Glad to see it still open
We moved back to East Tennessee last year and we live about 4 miles from The Lost Sea. Fun fact, the cops sit there at the entrance at night to catch speeders. I work 3rd shift and see them there quite frequently. Again, I missed Adam the Woo...lol
We lived near Sands Rd and hwy 68. A stones throw from the lost sea. Interesting with a grain of salt. Must see over "Ruby falls" or "rock City"
@@dlewisempire We are close to Hiwassee College.
I'm right beside the college. We've had sink wholes on our farm and a geologist said the Lost Sea was probably the reason for them
jessintn How do you sleep with that constant chatter coming up through your basement floor?
I went there in my childhood, thanks for bringing back these old memories!
Great to see you back in Tennessee! My family has always enjoyed your Gatlinburg area videos. We just watched three of them last night. Safe travels, my friend!
I'm so glad I found that. I went there in the 70's and of coarse we didnt have video. Thanks for the memories.
Hi Adam! Havent watched in a while because of life/family stuff but I'm glad to be watching again. My Dad took me here as a kid. ☺
Adam kinda looks like Al from home improvement.
lmao😂
😂😂
I don't think so, Tim Tracker...
@@Clay3613 your mom with a thicker beard.
And sounds much like Ray Manzarek from The Doors.
That water is so beautiful.
If you are in east TN, I would recommend Cades Cove near Pigeon Forge.
Chad Austin If anyone is ever here in Southern Indiana, I recommend....anywhere else! This place SUCKS!
Sasquach? They call them Melungeon in TN. Goony Goo goo, Guss!
@@goochI034sir you are mistaken, that honor belongs to your neighbor next door, southern Illinois. There is nothing to do.
@@goochI034 at least you have your humor not to be mean but you brought it up..are there any tourist things to do there? on the bright side tourist stuff brings in tons of traffic
@@goochI034 dont forget west Texas
Thank you Adam! This brings back great childhood memories from when my family visited in the late 70's!
Yoooou Tom, Tom Sawyer! Don't get lost in that cave! Couldn't resist! Lol!! GREAT Vlog as always!!
Two takeaways:
Tour guide probably has adhd but is smashable. This cave reminds me of the Goonies. Man, I love the Goonies.
I've lived in North Alabama for 18 years now, I've been to the lost sea couple years ago! We go to do things in TN mainly Gatlinburg during fall time!
That tour guide sounds like a future Woovian to me. Thanks and Rock on.
I was thinking Bart Simpson
Tennessee Barbie.
Wait till she sees this video!
Thank you, Ron.
Shelby is sooooo dreammmmmyy
Great place to visit. When we were there, the guide turned off the lights and talked about it being so dark you would go blind if you were there a long time, then my 5 year old boy (now a Marine Sargent) stomped his feet to light up his shoes (remember those?) Everyone got a kick out of that. We've been on many cave tours, this is one of the best I've seen.
Whooo hoo! ATW back in Tennessee
TennesseeMatt Yeah he’s on y’all side though Nashvilles just not a popular spot we don’t got no Dollywood
Mark FN Jones Dollywood is a nifty place indeed!
Mark FN Jones BUT... good hot chicken is very hard to come by on this side of the state.
TennesseeMatt
Hello from Cleveland, TN!!!
Here from Sparta, Tn. We have lots of caves here one being Cumberland Caverns 2nd largest cave in the US
I drive by this place everyday on my way to work, and haven't actually visited in at least 24 years. Might be time to check in again.
Ahh Tennessee.. Looks nice this time of year
Thanks for the tour from the West Coast.
Welcome back to East Tennessee Adam. Glad you're here! Have a great visit.
In the depths of the cave there Chairon (Charon) stands, who rules the dreary coast -
A sordid god: down from his hairy chin
A length of beard descends, uncombed, unclean;
His eyes, like hollow furnaces on fire;
A girdle, foul with grease, binds his obscene attire .
Collecting the dead and his coins . ~Virgil~
Very Cool place Adam. Thanks for showing it to us
someone give that tour guide a job as a cartoon voice actor, I went through this cave like 30 yrs ago, I remember that bright yellow tunnel pretty well and that stalagmite at the end too.
Loved the tour and cant wait to take the wife soon. I lived in Cleveland up until 2011.
That place is nothing short of incredible! Reminds me of the Gollum scenes from The Hobbit or the Horcrux scene from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince...
My family and I went there back in ‘06 on our first vacation to the Smoky Mountains! I a picture of myself, my brother, and my sister in that tunnel
If that tour guide does not go into some sort of professional voice acting work, she'd miss her calling.
You think? I think she is just gabbling stuff she has learned by rote and is giving it no meaning by tone or change in volume.
This is in my backyard and I love it. The best time to go, is when the temperature on the surface is between 95 and 100. It stays 58 degrees year round and it’s a welcome change during a miserable summer heatwave.
Natures own air conditioning i like it
That was pretty cool. However her voice.......thanks Adam neat trip!!!😃😃
I like her.
I don't get it, she had a girly voice, what was wrong with it? It's not like she was trying to sing or anything...
that's where i'm from. if you ever go take the wild tour. it's an overnight trip. need 12 people in a group to do it. you'll really see the caverns.
I have been here several times,it is very interesting
I took a tour of The Lost Sea over 40 years ago. Nothing much has changed but if my memory is correct they used glass bottom boats back then. I enjoyed seeing it again on the vlog.
My day just got better, Adam away!
I live in Western North Carolina, I actually just visited The Lost Sea last week. You should make a video of you exploring Wayah Bald here in Nantahala, North Carolina. There’s a lot of history behind it, and there are still pagan rituals happening there to this day. I live in Andrews, which is maybe a 15-20 min drive away from Nantahala. But to Wayah Bald it’s about an hour. If you ever decide to come this way and give it the old college try I’d love to show you around and give you the history that you won’t find in any books or website. There’s also other historical “attractions” here, the skyway, part of the trail of tears, Eric Rudolph was caught here(I actually knew him when I was a child) and a lot more interesting things.
I haven't been there since my Boy Scout days - and yeah, we spent the night underground!!
Reminds me of the DeSoto caverns in Alabama. It must have been really cool to be the first to find and explore these places.
Went as a kid, very cool.
Pretty cool, thanks. Never heard of that place before I stumbled upon this video. Too many earthquakes out here in Cali to have that.
Kool place been over 10yrs.🤠.Since I've been there.Great video Adam👍 🇺🇸
Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge -here comes the Woo again - and maybe CB, too !' Adam wouldn't come to TNand not "do" Gatlinburg! We!re waiting ...
This was very exciting! I have always loved these huge underground structures and this one didn't disappoint! Great video!
Hey I remember going here when I was younger seeing family up north! Trippy stuff
I went here like 2 years ago it was amazing!! You ever been to the Mayfield dairy plant?? Its between Atlanta and Chattanooga somewhere and you get to tour the plant!
Such an awesome tour guide! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wow! Hour and a half! You definitely get your money's worth! Looked absolutely amazing! I admit it looked like a well built Star Trek set! Was expecting a Red Shirt to fall in a hole somewhere.
99% of everything you see in this video has been added recently the tour guides apparently do not know that much about the cave in the 1980s there were blind to catfish in the lake there was also a bar built in the cave during prohibition they would find people dead on the way out of the cave the people would die from alcohol poisoning at a low elevation people can consume large amounts of alcohol however as they begin to climb out of the cave and gain altitude the alcohol level in their blood became toxic and they died I also heard no mention of the gigantic prehistoric skeleton of a Jaguar that was found in the cave a bust of the skull used to be in the lobby from the size of the skeleton it was estimated to weigh 800 pounds when it was alive that was the information given by the tour guides in the 1980s the old way in and out you could see the remnants of the bar there is also another way in and out of the cave but you have to go through the fat man squeeze a narrow passage in the cave they do not let people go through that area anymore during the Cold War it was considered an emergency shelter if we were ever attacked by the Russians there used to be Red Cross supplies and there was a National Guard Armory a quarter mile down the road
Would love for you to be my tour guide! Wonderful info
Awesome video. Thanks Adam!
It's called an engine house. I've heard a few urbex channels talk about you. This is my first time watching. Thanks for sharing.
Been there, very nice area. Sweetwater also has a great bakery and cheese place
Adam that place is very neat, I went to it in 1996 when I went to a dirt track race in Tennessee. I recall them saying there was a bigger lake through a hole in the wall that was accessible by divers back when I went.
Okay, finally got it. The tour guide's voice reminds me of Dottie from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Is there a basement, Adam? Seriously, really liked this vlog. Thanks for posting.
It may have already been noted, but pause at 9:24 and notice the image of the lady in the ceiling. Kind of right of center.
What an interesting place!
I was wondering if you had ever been there before. I'm in Athens, TN just south of Sweetwater. Wish I would have known, we would have drove up to say hello.
I'm on my way in that direction today!Was in the Lost Sea Caverns during the 2006 drought and Lost Sea was more like Lost Pond. The sea was still somewhat deep but the docks were much lower and gang planks were set up to walk down to them-probably 8 to 10 feet lower.
Being a fan of Larry the Cable Guy-Only in America, I wrote a couple of suggestions for him to visit. So Larry was in the Lost Sea
Caverns and two other suggested places in the area, Fontana Dam/Fontana Village and ride the "Tail of The Dragon" to see the "Fugitive" Dam (Cheoah Dam). Tunnel was in Asheville, ambulance chase on the Cherohola Hiway.Eat at the Fontana Village restaurant and check out the dam (biggest in the TVA I believe). It also seems that the dam is
being much more closely watched after the 2011 Virginia earth quake and, to me, it seems
there's been some movement at the joints. But I'm no dam expert!Thumbs up.Travel safe and say hello to Jacob!
I'm gonna be there this weekend heck ya. Home state.
my dad Use to swim in there back when he was a kid Him An some of his friends years ago An I use to live right across the street from the lost sea In Sweetwater TN on Madisonvile hwy.
Wish my notification bell for this channel was Ric Flair whoooow!
One hour with this tour guide and I’d have to give her some cement shoes into the lake 😂😂
Need to see this so cool
So amazing!
Awesome! I didn't know this existed.
Excellent video- I never heard of this place and it’s absolutely amazing!
The walk it’s self was a long one but the final destination made it worth the long walk.
I have done caving before and it can get s bit “stuffy” - they must have a good aerating system in place 😁
Thank you for sharing this awesome video 😁👍💕
how long is this tour
Great one, Woo! Thanks for the awesome tour.
That is awesome Adam! Very phenomenal!
Woohoo, you're in "paradise" during the changing of the leaves.
Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing :)
This is near the Tail of The Dragon - I drove by it last year but it was snowing so I just drove the Dragon instead - lol - Thanks For Sharing Adam !!! 👍
I went there during mothersday weekend this year. It was okay. I went cause my mom went when she was young.
I went there as a kid!
That train was pretty sweet
I love caves, never heard of that one. That was really cool, great video
Good morning mr woo
Very well done
Spoiler Alert, the tube that leads to The Lost Sea is actually a giant pipe. I wonder why it does not make the classic Pipe Entrance/Exit/Getting Shrunken sound effect when you enter into it, as well as exit out of it, though?
That was pretty awesome!
Nice cave, but the tour guide needs to lay off the caffeine. She spoke at 1000mph with a very high pitched squeaky voice, it gave me a headache.
Your picture is enough to give anyone a migraine, you hypocrite.
Thanks for the video Adam!
rainbow trout picky? I used to catch them with Velveeta as a kid!!! 🤣😂
Lost Sea Adventure, AKA Rainbow Trout Retirement Home tour.
They said they had a fishing event. I forget when but it would have been sweet to be there for that!!
This looks fun!
Come back to Gatlinburg. You have to see Anakeesta. It's amazing.
Adam, i guess the miniature train was from back in the day when a actually had some visitors??
You should check out bonne Terra mines in Missouri, red bull had a cave wake board event down there, its on TH-cam, its worth watching
Ive been there, it’s pretty cool.
"I imagine that if we didn't have fish it's be a pretty boring boat ride to some people."
hahah he's been driving that boat for a while
Hey Adam, that was so cool.
Been there in 75. My dad took us there on the way to florida.
Interesting once you get past the cave part.
Reminded me later of the underground lakes in deagonslayer and Harry Potter movies.
This is amazing
Here from Sparta, Tn awesome video! I went there once when I was a kid thank goodness that tour guide wasnt there shes really annoying she sounds like Lisa Simpson lol. We have a large cave system here called Cumberland Caverns 2nd largest cave system in the US. Come check it out sometimes if your ever this way its really cool☺
I went there today!
Reminds me of Ruby Falls, an underground waterfall. : D
Wish there was a 360 view of this place.. with the 360 camera.
Great video! Glad to see you more and more. Muc Luv💕
