Glad you enjoyed it!

Mississippi also has it's own Grand Canyon not too far from Meridian. A must see! czcams.com/video/WV1442pLgoY/video.html

OK thanks, It's not red bluff. I have seen 4 videos on that place. Very much like the Grand Canyon out west. I enjoyed those videos.

@@gowestusa8959 Oh it is red bluff. Have seen 4 videos on that. One on Ms roads the first time.

@@gowestusa8959 Thanks I will watch it the 5th time.

Thanks!

Hmm... Said I got the blues music.czcams.com/video/W8TRO_cTuVE/video.html

@@gowestusa8959 I’m playing that when I go to Memphis

You might want to check out the Mud Island, River Walk when you go czcams.com/video/OAF00vSWf1w/video.html

You drive to the state park and then you walk the trails. Here's a link to the park's website. tnstateparks.com/parks/rocky-fork Here's a link to the other trail I hiked in the park. czcams.com/video/JzNzo0lZxl8/video.html

Yeah totally mispronounced that one!

Yeah, I really enjoyed the visit!

lol

Glad you enjoyed it!

Time to try it again? Padlock's gone and so are the bees. Steps still pretty shaky.

@@gowestusa8959 Too old and fat now! At the time I wondered why bees would be that dang high off the ground. Oddly enough when I talked to a guy at work about it, he had been there years before me and the bees at the top chased him off also! Seems like they would be lower on the tower, for the size of a bee that thing is like Everest! Maybe they just get a kick out of watching people scamper down the tower? I did like the view for the short time they let me look.

@@gowestusa8959 I notice in your video at about 3:27 to 3:32 what looks like bees! But it looks very windy, maybe they just could not get to you!

LOL, nice catch. Most definitely appeared to be a few bees. A kinder, gentler bee after 2 decades, very accommodating to visitors.

The West Summit trail is said to be not as hard as the East Summit trail. It's .7 mile for 734 feet constant uphill. If you made it before you can make it again especially if you're in better shape now. It's a good workout with beautiful views, I really enjoyed it. Surely a lot more crowded on the West side.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Well, that's quite interesting to find out. I was wondering why there was so much channel viewing traffic on this video. The quote on the Left 4 Dead 2 Fandom Wiki site is "Veterans Memorial Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge crossing the Mississippi River in New Orleans, Louisiana. It serves as the main objective for the Survivors and is seen throughout the campaign, The Parish of Left 4 Dead 2." But this bridge in reality is not a vertical-lift bridge. There are 2 vertical-lift bridges in New Orleans including the Danziger Bridge and the Florida Avenue Bridge. So maybe the game took some creative license with the facts on the bridge. Works for me! Thanks for the comment!

It's a 2 lane road.

You're welcome! Here are more views of the reservoir from much closer at nearby Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park if you're interested. czcams.com/video/xv7hLf55smI/video.html

That's about the most I'll ever be in Mobile. lol

@@gowestusa8959 I know that's the truth. We used to live in Pensacola and I hated everytime we had to go to Mobile. Just don't go to Prichard lol

I guess you have to see it at the right time of day and right direction to better appreciate the local name. - The bridge has red warning lights atop the parallel support arches which, when combined with the shape of the supporting arches when approached from certain directions, have caused the bridge to gain the nickname "Dolly Parton Bridge".

I'm excited you finally got to see the Stanton Energy Center again in person and to shoot your own video of it as well. You should post your videos for everyone to see.

I see you've already posted a video. czcams.com/users/shortsxt85M4XHuqk That's Stanton right?

I posted two videos of it with my bracelets and the other two were going over the monument pkwy overpass

Seeing familiar places again that bring back good memories is like seeing an old friend, I totally get that.

The Stanton energy center is probably the main reason why I have the wristband channel

@@gowestusa8959 I wish I could email you the videos

Just post them on your channel and I'll watch them.

I posted them my favorite one was leaving Port Canaveral because the video looks like we are actually basically it’s %100 what you are seeing

Glad you enjoyed the drive! That was shot 4 1/2 years ago on a SONY Handycam HDR-CX440 9.2 megapixels with the pop feature on to enhance the colors. Great picture and zoom but no built-in stabilization. So, the shots are just lucky I have a pretty stable hand when driving. I now use a combination of GoPro Hero 10 and I Phone 12 Max both of which will produce great quality picture's but also give you a stable picture pretty much all the time.

@@gowestusa8959 great ! thank you to take the time to respond, Bruno

Really cool place to explore. Glad you enjoyed it!

I stopped at all 13 of the named scenic viewpoints heading West on Oklahoma Highway 1 from the Oklahoma / Arkansas state line to the Talimena National Scenic Byway entrance sign 35 miles West. It's a beautiful drive. Even more so I imagine in the Fall with the leaves changing color.

No, it's just 89 see 3:07. This video is from the Grand Canyon heading East on 64 to 89. 89A is much further South starting just South of Flagstaff and running South through Sedona all the way down to just North of Prescott.

I changed the video title and description to better clarify the location.

Looks like there's plenty of room on the Northshore to just put one somewhere else, they do have good food.

It's much faster when you're on vacation.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed hiking there and I agree it is a special place. I appreciate the well-marked trails as it would be so easy to get turned around in there. That was shot on my old equipment before we met so a lot more shaky than but still did a decent job. Here's part 1 of the hike from Elephant trailhead to Chesler Park. czcams.com/video/d0pbfNQZtzw/video.html

Thanks!

That's highway 375 Woodrow Bean Transmountain Drive running straight through the Franklin Mountains. My drive was West. There are some pullouts and trailhead parking along the way. Wish I could have spent more time there exploring.

Agreed!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! It is beautiful in person and then I get to re-experience it by watching my videos over again later. Happy to share!

They've got a butterfly center as well. czcams.com/video/4w9RDp6wWb0/video.html I did not know there was an animal safari so close, it's actually only 8 miles from Callaway Gardens.

Those panoramic views are so amazing in person. You're the only car on the road for miles in the middle of nowhere with the beauty of nature all around. You can just stop on the side of the road, even in the middle of the road if you wanted, and no one will be by any time soon. Yes, total freedom, I love those shots. The destination for this drive was the national monument which has it's own beautiful scenic drive if you want to view it. czcams.com/video/gaM3Io_9aZk/video.html

Yep!

I'm only about 50 miles away from Clanton, but that was my 1st time actually stopping to visit on the way to the beach. The peach cobbler and ice cream were fantastic! That's a 760 mile haul for you down to the coast from St. Louis, you definitely needed a good stop.

Your spouse may want to move as well?

@@gowestusa8959 Unfortunately no...She has lupus, and is allergic to the sun. Plus the rare health issues she has, requires she stay in the northeast where her doctor is.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Glad the video brought you some good memories! I really enjoyed exploring the area. I flew out to Phoenix last year to visit the city and places in Arizona I had not yet seen. Lots of really awesome places there in your state. Here's where I've been if you're interested - czcams.com/play/PLDhx7QVCkH1WabAdejOF4Tf6qZleGq3bL.html Stay cool, I know it's an oven out there now!

Yeah, I really enjoyed it! The trails around the spring were closed due to storm damage but there was still plenty left to make for a great day.

Thanks! Yes, Little River Canyon has that same look. I'm sure you've been over to Oak Grove to see Buck's Pocket, it has that look as well.

It's hard to imagine anyone going up there when you're standing on the ground looking up at those little windows.

Yes, it was pretty awesome! More videos to come. Lots of views to catch in Missouri and Arkansas. I subscribed to your channel to check out the cold war sites there and on your website.

Cool place!

Very. Me and my son was there about an hour ago fishing

Catch anything?

Yes. Bass. Blue cats and brem

@@neilmurray7452what type of rod and reel did you use? I’m having a hard time picking

Look like no camping is allowed. www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/gwj/recarea/?recid=74027

At 5:50 there's a huge parking area there that would definitely accomodate a car camp. Don't know if authorities would actually check to see if anyone is up there and run you off or ticket you.

Hope you get to go! This is some of the hiking you can do there. czcams.com/video/iZ3dGxVBwFc/video.html

Agreed and that was 5 years ago. Try this one out and see if there's been any improvement. czcams.com/video/OBeaPtODbCw/video.html

Glad you enjoyed it! You should have the place to yourself, it's one of the least visited monuments in the nation due to the remoteness. Hope you have a fantastic time!
