I did not realize that turkeys were so protective. I love the cove. It is so peaceful there. I have been in that church. I live by in Knoxville.
The beauty of the Smokey Mountains are doing God's hand in the reason why we have to make sure we take care of our planet every day...its breathtaking.
I love the close up with the flowers and butterflies. The mountain road would be wonderful to drive. Yes Will Cade’s Cove is truly God’s Country. You can get your thoughts together and think about how wonderful this place is. Yes Dawn be careful with the turkeys. Love ❤️ 🐻🏔
A yellow Jeep is a happy Jeep💛 Now we know what's down that road. Thanks for a great adventure 😊
I watch a lot of your videos on TV. When I am inspired by them I go to my IPad and post my thoughts and of course, give a thumbs up. I love Cades Cove. There is a loving spirit about that place that is undeniable. You can feel the presents of the people that lived there and it’s so wonderful to look thru a window and see the beauty of the mountain thru their eyes knowing every morning they seen the sunrise and the sunset. This is a little piece of heaven on earth. Thanks for sharing your video I got to see it thru your eyes.
Thank you will and Dawn for letting us come along!
Beautiful vlog! I love all those colorful mushrooms 🍄, I hope we have time to go to Cades Cove on our vacay! Great job guys👍🏻
I love how you captured the beauty of the Butterfly You guys keep me sane during this Mr Mcnasty You just make my day Love you guys I'm glad you were faster than the turkey Iv never seen them do that my husband tells me to watch out for them .
That was beautiful drive, loved the nature and animals! Hopefully, kids and I can do that sometime in memory for Tim. He would of loved it! Thank you Will and Dawn
That view is actually the Methodist Church. Thanks for sharing this special place !
Really enjoyed this blog. Loved seeing you guys being chased by the turkey.! What an interesting hidden trail to travel. And your music just perfect! Thanks for taking us!
Beautiful mountain gravel road with gorgeous views. Your videography is awesome! Hoping our Honda Odyssey van can do this drive. Thank you so much for sharing it. Sending love and blessings your🇺🇸🙏💕🌸 way!
Detroit born and raised just got home Monday after spending 3 weeks in Cherokee, i visted alot of these cities. Bryson City, Dillsboro, Tuskegee, Sylva how can you not love it. I wasnt a fan of Gatlinburg a little too touristy. Home hasn't been the same since returning. I didn't catch Cades Cove maybe next time. I got alot of pointers and places to visit watching you two. Thx for the good content i enjoy watching just wish i could stay their! Maybe one day. Watch our for those turkeys...
Wow. Stunning! You are so right Will, God's Country. Beautiful. Loved the blue mushroom. Cheers x
Helga ❤️
@@Tony-5000 hey Tony, hope all is well x
My hubby and I took that road once. It was a nice, quiet drive. I enjoy your videos. They are are nice on days when I wish I could be there.
One of my favorite videos yet! The views are breathtaking! This is God's Country for sure. That Turkey needs a chill pill!
Thanks guys for the beautiful drive
We’ve been across Rich Mtn Rd 3-4 times.
It used to be pretty rough and they even had a sign at the beginning that said 4 wheel dr vehicles only! They have obviously made some improvements since then.
We loved it back in the day when virtually no one knew about it and you never saw another soul the entire drive.
Loved the video!😊👍🏼
God Bless🙏
Great video, my wife and I visited the Mts back in 1986 first time, we too fell in love with it and we enjoy all the area has to offer.
My favorite place. As a child in Maryville our elementary class would take field trips in a school bus to cades cove and we would bring a sack lunch. And in 6th grade our classes would spend a week at Treemont in the lodge and hike and do other activities. It was a lot of fun. Love my mountains! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing your memories
My husband and I love Rich Mountain. We take a lunch and sit on the back of his truck and enjoy the quiet.
Last year, we saw a momma bear and two cubs, crossing the road. Then another momma bear with three Cubs, on the side of the road, eating something- it was amazing. Thanks for the video, enjoy you two. God bless you.
Crazy Turkey! I think y'all needed Bob and especially George to help with that turkey!😂🤣Maybe George could do a "big bird" and set that turkey straight about who's boss!🤣😂
Beautiful scenery! Thanks for the laugh, and taking us on a new road and adventure! Be blessed ya'll!😊❤️🇺🇸
Or Juarez from Kyle the Rooster channel!! Love George and Bob!!🦢🐓🐧
That overlook of the church is one of my favorites! We have been down that road a lot, it can get a little rough but it's so much fun exploring places like that. We have never seen bear up there. Loved the killer attack turkey! (I know you didn't at the time) I needed a good laugh today! Thanks
Amen, I agree, it's God's country...how beautiful...thank-you for sharing the trip with us!
The blue mushroom looks like one of Dawn’s hats turned upside down! Loved the undercarriage shot of the Jeep 🚖!!!
GOD HAS GIVEN US A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE FOR NOW. CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE WHAT HEAVEN WILL BE LIKE. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. THANKS.
Will sacrificed life and limb jumping between Dawn and hard charging Turkey. That's why you guys are the best. Good job. Love
3 friends and I are going to pigeon forge the last week in October, we will definitely be going on this amazing road. Thank you.
RoaringFork motor trail is a must see too....
Absolutely beautiful scenery in the mountains. Great video
Love this road. It is so peaceful. I would love to have a house up there. Thanks for sharing!
the wife and I have been through Cades Cove,and just went through there yesterday,we will go back one day this week and go down this road,thanks for all the great content.
best mountains I 'hve seen really beatiful there & home away from home pull to small town feel as well.
Love the mountains too. Would love to live there.
Love watching this video!
We finally got to experience Cade's Cove at the end of July! So beautiful! Love seeing the optional drive that you guys took. Really enjoying your amazing videos and reviews. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. We appreciate you guys and have learned so much from your videos 💗
Love the cove. Miss it. Been going there for almost 20 years. Feels like home. Nothing like the mts. Been looking for a little place to live. Used to have a condo at deer ridge years ago but they didn’t accept pets and we got a dog.
LOVE CADES COVE! Love that Tigers hat too
thanks for another great show congrats on 40 THOUSAND we all luv you happy 4 you
I've seen this before but have enjoyed it again. This year 2022 in the fall we plan to take this road. Thanks 😊 like your look there Will
I can’t believe I didn’t know that road was there. I’ve been to cafes cove many times. Beautiful! That gobbler was protecting his hen!🤣
Thanks for another great road trip. Cades Cove is one of my most loved places to go to. Always look forward to all your road trips. God bless you Will and Dawn for a long healthy life ahead.
Thank you
We took this road in a thunderstorm one time. No rain but lightning all around. It was very exciting and very much enjoyed it. We enjoy this road in the Spring before all the leaves are on even better. Watch out for the Turkey, lol
Great video!!! Loved the camera shots of the Jeep like when you drove over it. Cool!!!
Beautiful scenery! Great video! Thanks for sharing!!
WOW! Turkey Attack, spent last week in the Smoky Mountains and had a wonderful time. Cades Cove is the best. The elk in Catalouchee Valley were awesome.
Thanks 😊
Love cades cove its beautiful to see in the fall. And the horse back riding in there is really fun to do and not that pricey either. Thanks for the video:)
Thanks so much for doing Cades Cove, we love it so much!
Been going to cades cove since the 80's and never been on that road. Going to try it next time up. Thanks Again
Beautiful thank you for sharing. The Great Smokey’s are definitely Gods country. So beautiful. We were just there a couple weeks ago
Yes, Cades Cove does cleanse your soul. Might be my favorite place on earth. Thanks for showing me Rich Mtn Rd always wanted to check it out.
Will, I like how you added interest by placing the camera on the road and showing the Jeep driving over and beside the camera. Always enjoy watching you and Dawn on your adventures. Your videos give us a virtual vacation while we are stuck at home. Have you guys ever checked out the Riverhouse at the Park in Gatlinburg? I’m from Knoxville originally, and we vacation in Gatlinburg several times per year. RH is our absolute favorite hotel. It borders the park on River Road and still has the the classic 1950’s Gatlinburg nostalgic look and feel. I think it’s a hidden gem. We always get the same corner room overlooking the creek. This is more of a hotel for people that want to experience “Old Gatlinburg,” and is one of the last motor lodges where you can call “011” from your room phone, and someone that reminds you of your mom will deliver homemade donuts and a carafe of coffee to your room-complete with melamine coffee cups! Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for getting us out of the house again! Nice countryside! Backing away from a turkey who ignores barbed wire was a good idea!
Loved the overlook of the church, just beautiful ! Such a peaceful road to enjoy the beauty of the Smokies thank you for sharing ! Watch out for those turkeys Dawn, that one wasn't as nice as your ducks you visit !
Omg that turkey was the star of the show. lllolollo. What a Wonderful drive!!! I am now distressed. Thanks for sharing!!! 🙂💜👍
I would Love to see this road during the Autumn Season...
I enjoyed the video! I had to giggle when the turkey started running toward you two! I would have run also! LOL
I just accidentally came across this video, and decided to watch. Nicely done. I’ll be sure to check out some of your other videos. 👍🏻
Was there in before the park took total control. People still lived there. The churches were open. The cemeteries were accessible and we looked for family names. Found them, too. Oliver. Shields. Queen. Fisher. The road then forded a stream. Does the new, paved road still do that? Oh, a movie was filmed there. Great love story. "A Walk in the Spring Rain".
I thought you were going to get got there for a minute. I love cades cove but have never taken that road. Thanks for sharing, that has a beautiful view.
Great scenic video -- thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness its beautiful up there. And the turkey gobble gobble he was mad lol! And I really liked the view of the church. Good video :)
Thank you so much for listening ❤️ This vlog was awesome 👏 I think it’s one of my new favorites. This is definitely where you two shine the most. My husband and I have taken this road before. We are the (take the road less traveled) kind of people. Thanks again, Will and Dawn 🤩 Hope your camera is ok.
You saw as many bears as we saw in July on that road! Zero, Zip, Nada! Enjoyed your vid.
I have been going to cades cove for over 30 yrs and did not know about that rd how i don't know cause i take all unknown rds maybe i thought it was for the rangers thank you so much for posting this next time take the rd all the way into Townsend so we can see where it comes out at.....have you guys ever stayed at Fayes cabins she has two of them and their up past the tuskaleechee caverns rd just a nice get away for a couple or a family of 4 good porch sitting and hot tubs not a really big fancy place but a peaceful get away...
No we'll look into that
I’ve been up this road it was back about 1994 and the road was not near as good as it is in this video. It is a nice little drive and beautiful in the fall.
Beautiful views great video beautiful flowers thanks for sharing
Loved this video. The wildflowers, especially the purple ones, were beautiful. Loved the closeups of the butterfly on the flowers. It was so clear you could see the antennae on the butterfly. I don't blame you for running from the turkey; he looked mean. I've seen pictures from this road but have never driven it. Wished you had continued the video on into Townsend. Take care and safe travels!
My family is from Cades Cove. My great grandparents, my dad, and grandfather are all buried at the Methodist Church at the top of the hill. The Shuler family.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for the video! These really help us find new fun things when we come up! Y'all are a blessing!
I enjoyed the. Rich. Mtn. Road. But just over 40 years ago my wife & boyscouts went spelulunking in Rich Mountain Cave just off on the. Right side or the road. Watched to relive that time & it wasn't seen ?
That poor camera. First you ran over it then sling it off the Jeep. LOL. Great work 💜
Dawn and Will you always share great videos. Flowers are beautiful... Turkey was mad.
I enjoy looking at this video and all of y’all video please keep them coming
Looks Ike the turkeys are picking on yah. Love the waterfalls.🤠
We'll definitely make sure to do this ride when we are there in late October. Glad the turkey didn't attack. Those spurs can really do some damage!!
That would be a great road to take next time we are down there. Thanks for the great video. Keep Safe
Unknowingly drove by here yesterday leaving Gatlinburg headed back to Atlanta with my husband and kids now we are planning a trip back 😩⛰❤️.
I love this road this was a awesome trip been there before thank you for this video
Haha... that turkey! 🦃 We just processed about 15 turkeys on the homestead this last weekend. Gobble gobble!
i love watching this couples videos they are great... when i move to tennessee i hope to meet them some time.
Great job👍❤❤❤ We always enjoy driving cove , we didn't know about that road.👍❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing your drive
I am so glad I found your channel we are Tennessee bound in a few days.
😃 Will's out there making movies in the woods with his drive by shots.
Cafes Cove my fav! Thanks
The part when that turkey almost attacked you had me laughing so hard!! You have to be careful though! They can be crazy!! Great video as usual!
Hey Will and Dawn. Watched your Cades Cove video. We woluld love to try that sometime like in October when the Leaves are changing. Awesome video guys. Steve and Lisa
Great video, you put a lot work in this one. I love the view looking down on the church. I've got a bookmark and post card (fall season) of that view.
Wow, Will n Dawn!! That was some fancy camera work! Very beautiful. Thank you! We're heading to the Cove tomorrow. Missed you by a day!!
I love Cade's cove in the smokey Mt. Slow nature ...
You can drive it in the fall. You have to time it right. Late October or Early November. It is very pretty in that season.
It took me a bit to realize that the flower the butterfly was sitting on appears to be ironweed. A sure sign fall is on it's way. BTW- turkeys can be territorial apparently!
Those camera angles rock! Especially that last one. 🤣
I've driven that road. Great scenery. Thanks for sharing.
wow I need to come see cades cove, its beautiful. that turkey did not like being on camera,lol
i so enjoyed this video. all the different view points and an area we have never been in. will have to check it out for sure when we come back up :)
In the late 70's and early 80's we vacationed in Cades Cove for several years--tenting with three children. We took the Rich Mountain Rd. during that period and were able to drive the original road with all of its holes, ruts and drop-offs. There were several cars on the road that day, and at one of the "wide spots" in the road we came upon a girl with problems whose bumper was stuck over the bumper of the guy who had tried to push her off the road. Typical of some men at that time, he would not listen to me when I told him to jack up her bumper and have him roll out from under it. Thank goodness he listened to my husband, did as I suggested, and everything worked out just fine.
Our kids loved Cade's and we even bicycled, all 5 of us, around the loop. At that time there was no barbed wire and the loop was all gravel. You got to ford the streams and dodge the holes. Those were the good days.
Thanks for sharing your memories 😊
So funny !!! Beautiful drive.
We were there two weeks ago and did rich mountain rd and we surprised a bear ,its a beautiful way to get out of cades cove
I have a Honda Civic. Would driving it on this road be ok? Thanks
@@redthunderheart5783 I would not personally
Haven't watched yet but I know I'll love it since I love Cades Cove!
Dude,I really enjoy your vlogs. Except for these. You are totally throwing away all of the peace and serenity for a few views. I am actually disappointed.
Beautiful, beautiful drive, guys. I love it.
