    Hi Robert! My wife and I have also camped at many of the places you visit. I watch your channel regularly, especially when I feel the need to travel someplace "In my mind". Thanks for the great work!

    Thank you for wearing your mask. Hiking on a light rain day is great. The mud, not so much. The Smokies are wonderful, even with lots of folks visiting. It's a big place with lots of sits, views and experiences. Appreciate you sharing with us.

    Absolutely fantastic video Robert! The scenery in the Smoky Mountains is stunning as always and I loved your tour of Cades Cove, like taking a trip into the past. Each to their own, but I don't think I could handle Gatlinburg, there is just so many people walking around, it's worse than a shopping mall. LOL! Thank you once again for the great video and sharing it early. Stay safe and God Bless!!👍👍😊

      Cades Cove is always pretty busy but there are days it’s shut just to walking and bikes. Those days are great. There is also the Roaring Fork Nature trail in Gatlinburg. It also has some old homesites. Throughout the park you will find some structures. We love hiking further in and finding the remnants of old structures and even old plane crashes. The main routes are always busy but quieter entrances to the park, like Greenbrier, are normally not as bad.

    about 36 mins in, that building with what you called the aqueduct thru it, I believe that was the spring house, not a privey. They were typically built over little streams would keep the room cool.

    Great video Robert! The smoky mountains is one of my favorite NP's. And even though G-burg is crowded somehow it's still fun to walk the streets. And yes I have heard the Cherokee KOA is large and crowded. We stayed up he road from G-burg at the Jellystone which is now Imagination Mountain campground.

Thanks so much for having us on the road and see you onto to the next state in the road. 🤟🏻😊🤟🏻

    I'm late for this since I've been catching up with all your videos. Cades Cove was also the site of the largest search and rescue operation ever conducted in a national park. The missing person was Dennis Martin, a six year old that was last seen at the family's campsite on June 14, 1969. Martin has never been found, and his search was an absolute disaster. It rained three inches the night of his disappearance, and it he probably died of exposure. With the way the search was run it would have been a matter of luck if he was found, and no remains have been found to this day. The only good thing about the search was a total overhaul in the way missing person searches were run. As you might be able to tell from part of my username, I was in search and rescue for 27 years, retiring as my sheriff's department search and rescue coordinator. The lessons of the search for Dennis never left me in every search we did, RIP Dennis. You did not die in vain.

    Ah, Sunday morning in the Smoky Mountains with Robert...nice! I was there last year and your video brings it all back...I even remember driving past that Dollar General in Wares Valley :-). I stayed in Townsend, a much more relaxed area than the other gateway towns.
    The first time I visited Klingman's Dome was in the morning after a storm had dumped a little snow and it was beautiful! I got to ride my bike around Cade's Cove on one of the days where they close the loop to cars--that was very cool. As far as Pigeon Forge is concerned, it's worth a visit to see the huge displays out front like King Kong and the Titanic, but driving through once was enough for me.
    The crowds you encountered are just like the ones I saw in the National Parks on my trip last month...I had to bypass several spots in Yellowstone because there was just no parking. Hopefully things will be less crowded next year (fingers crossed). See ya down the road!

    Absolutely loved this video! You were in my stomping grounds. We've been camping the Great Smoky Mountains for twenty years. I'm glad you finally were able to experience Cades Cove. It's a cool place but I can see how it can be a little underwhelming when you've been to so many great places as you have. Little known fact, the CBS television series "Christy" was filmed in and around Cades Cove & Townsend.
    BTW, hearing Desert Rain and the pitter patter of rain as you walked around Cades Cove gave me chills.

    Our favorite of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park campgrounds is Smokemont which is just outside of Cherokee, NC. Saw Elk, and a lot of wild Turkeys. Pretty river-side campground that in the fall was not crowded at all. No hookups and you have to run your generator in the day but they do have a water faucet and good restrooms.

    Look Rock Tower off the Foothills Parkway is a concrete tower like Clingmans dome. Beautiful views and very few people. All the Foothills Parkways have incredible views with much less crowds. The Tubers were in an area called the Townsend Wye. The river is Little River. Laurel Creek is the creek along Laurel Creek rd. to Cades Cove then enters Little River at the Townsend Wye. Great Video of our Mountains, The Great Smoky Mountains.

It must be because of location right between South (Miami, Atlanta) East Coast and Mid West... Because its not the prettiest spot in the US thats for sure :) And it wasn't fail Robert!

    Robert, enjoyed your video on Cades Cove. It's our favorite place to go when we're in the Smokies. If you go back, there's a primitive road that runs from the Missionary Baptist Church up over Rich Mountain to Townsend. We usually take it when we're in the Cove. Your truck would make it fine. Also, there's several excellent campgrounds there in Townsend.

    The area you are in, Gatlinburg, Smokey Mountains, Cherokee, is very popular with locals as well as tourists. The stone underpasses you drive under is the Blue Ridge Parkway. Another big tourist attraction, with lots of history & points of interest along the way. It's 45 mph. Campgrounds along the way here & there. The beauty of fall throughout the Blue Ridge Parkway. Grandfather Mountain's carpet of gold was awesome, located in Boone, N.C..

    Love your videos, by the way!
    I did have to laugh at your "primitive" campground. You should try camping near us in Northern Idaho. It's gorgeous out here in the Northern Rocky Mountains. Here is our version of primitive: no amenities (except a fire pit), an outhouse (if you are lucky), no one for miles, no civilization for miles, no camp host, and we have Grizzly bears! You have to take EVERYTHING with you-just in case-which is why an RV comes in handy. Anyway, I couldn't resist kidding you about the "primitive!" We do seriously love your content, and your production! You are probably one of the best ones out there.
