That fisherman was definitely a Kentucky lifer!
Always so wonderful to get immersed in the local culture!
I was a bit surprised that you didn't get under the waterfall, and my oldest daughter said "Dad, this might be the first video where Randy doesn't jump in the water." I reminded her that the video wasn't over LOL. Tell Julie that my girls were proud of her for dunking all the way under. They felt the same at String Lake (Grand Teton NP).
Thanks for sharing as always and Much Love
That was funny, Jymn! You know I never turn down a nice swim! :)
Thank you Randy, Julie and Shane. I absolutely loved this video and agree, this family outing was Perfect. God Bless you all.... Robin 🙏❤
Much appreciated, Robin! Hope you have a blessed week!
What a great video! I know that swimming hole felt wonderful after your humid hike. Love that cozy little cabin! It's perfect! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for the nice comment, Debra!
your videos are GREAT Your family is awesome!!!
Thanks really means a lot to me, James! Thank you!
After Shane was plummeted by the water, I would have sold the park as “Yeah this shower is an absolute beauty” Hahaha! The swimming hole, as the “Gentleman’s bathtub”. I should go learn to make my own videos, but for now I will continually enjoy your fantastic adventures. You certainly looked very pleasantly happy at the end to be sleeping in a cabin instead of the tent.
That was really an enjoyable comment to read! Thank you!
Yahoo falls was one of my favorite places. Iv spent over 8 hours walking there more then once. Iv caught a lot of snakes there. Copper heads mostly baby’s be safe there cause you get bit your not going to make it out to get treated. I was very young and did not realize the danger. Plus watch parking there people will steal your car or anything in it or on it. My sister got married there boy what a beautiful fun wedding. Thank you for sharing this video sure brought back some wonderful times. ❤
Really enjoyed reading about your sweet memories! Have a blessed week!
@@AmericasParks you as well 👍 my nephew, used to repel down the arch. Cumberland Falls is amazing. They have a lot of walking paths. My grandma actually got to go under the falls back in her day they would let you go behind it. I probably would invest in a airhorn for purposes of dogs and bear. One more thing and I’ll quit bugging you. There’s a train ride in Stearns Kentucky. It’s a beautiful ride if you ever get a chance take it.
Wow just wow
Thanks for the comment, Sandy!
Was thinking of you, your family, and youtube channel as I visited the John Muir Birthplace museum here in Scotland last weekend. Hard to believe I was standing in the same house as the great man once lived! Thanks for these incredible insights into the natural landscapes over the in the States, and wish you all the best for 2023
Wow, what a great comment... what a wonderful experience! He has done so much for our national parks. Greetings back from the US and all the best to you in 2023!
Loved this one Randy. Its making me long for the long, warm days of summer. Love it when you included your camping adventures as well. When I was OTR, I went around KY a fair amount. Such a pretty state.
Hey Robert, really an under-rated state. Good folks and beautiful scenery. Take care!
Definitely would like to visit West Virginia sometime this year got a lot of hikes on the list we want to do! There's lots of Legends from the Indians that used to live and those mountains talking about Giants and things who knows maybe they were back then 🤔
WV is really a unique state in regards to its culture. We had a great time and enjoy the folks there. I'm sure you'll find some beautiful hikes!
Such beautiful places to see! Thank you for sharing🔆
Really appreciate that, Jenna!
This is a great video, thanks. If I don't get there in person, your video is the next best thing.
Really encouraged to hear that, thanks!
Wow, I really enjoy these less-known-but-just-as-cool spots! Thanks!
Glad to hear that, Chris!
feels like summer, very nice! cool falls and a great swimming area/ nice cabin too, you are spoiled hahah / thanks for taking us with you, watching a bunch of your videos today great stuff
Haven't been on YT much lately. Good to get this summer stuff uploaded! Enjoy your week!
We were able to visit Kentucky for the first time in 2022. It was such a beautiful state, with the nicest people! Beautiful video!
Totally agree! Loved the folks and scenery. Glad to hear you've been out there!
Fun fun fun🎉
Sure was... thank for watching!
Great video will go to Yahoo Arch
Had to smile at the reaction to the WV accommodations lol
Always an adventure... enjoy the new experiences!
Fantastic sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch stay safe and blessed
Much appreciated, my friend!
That waterfall was really high and beautiful! The fact that your son could go underneath it and get wet was awesome! Nice arch as well. Yeah, those waterholes must have been great on a hot, humid day like this. That was a cozy little cabin at the end! Cool video, Randy!!
Appreciate the kind words, my friend! All the best to you with your adventures in 2023!
Another excellent video! Thank you.
Have you ever visited Breaks Interstate Park which straddles the KY/VA border?
Thanks much, Mike! Appreciate the suggestion. Will take a look!
This is a beautiful, fun trip in the woods. I’ll have to check it out on the map…pretty sure my mother-in-law grew up in that area 🤔. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures and giving great travel tips. Take care always!
Much appreciated, James! Have a blessed week!
Nice soundtrack
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Never enough perfects! Good on you for dunking your head, Julie - not my favorite thing either when it's cold. But wow - no people!
Hey Heather! Thanks for stopping by the channel. Haven't been on YT much lately. Hope you guys are doing well!
I have to say--that looked like fun. I "suffered for the Lord" in 1 of those cabins last summer down in the Cape Canaveral area. They're really nice.
haha... Owed this one to the family after the campground the night before! :)
A nice, cool find in KY. We lived across the Ohio River in Indiana in a river town and visited many of the state parks, Land Between the Lakes, and Mammoth Cave NP many times. We missed this gem. Thanks for sharing.
Great to hear, Lonna! Still would like to visit Land Between the Lakes.
@@AmericasParks If you go to the Land Between the Lakes, our car looses the map-says no satellite. So make sure you know where you are going. We went camping there while my cousins boat & swim in the lakes when they go from southern IN. It's a big area-Enjoy!
That was quite an adventure. I forgot about those waterfalls and arches- pretty amazing find- not many people there either. No thank you on the catfish though 😂
Another wonderful family trip! Enjoyed talking with that man.
I will take humid covered by trees than no trees. Looking at you Florida. I only did Mammoth cave in Kentucky. I am hoping to get back there to do more exploring in three years. So adding this to the list.
Good call, my friend! Enjoy your weekend!
Nice work buddy, cool place! You must have forgot about our SUPER Sketch campground in Grand Junction with the feral cats surrounding us! Crazy what up with the Parks. . . I recently did an “arch” trip outside of arches. Amazing!
Hey buddy, how can I forget about those cats! They definitely wanted our chicken! lol! Been off YT, need to get over and check out some of your vids! Take care and be safe out there!
@@AmericasParks Man, glad to hear from you. I’ve gone desert crazy, biked the Monument road today and had several very cool visits to Moab. I found some great arches not in the park, can’t believe they shut us tubers down in the NP’s,! Won’t last I don’t think. . . Timed entry starting in April I think too for Arches, I head there was a 30minute line last Saturday. Did some really cool new stuff right by the Fisher towers also… hope all is well, my best to the family!
You have the weirdest experiences with campgrounds, lol. Missing those hot and humid conditions now!
haha! Right on... though I could be in Canada! lol!
Thank you for all the videos. I heard that CZcamsrs are being legally treated like big time movie productions, and I hope that doesn't limit your vids. Edit: meaning the NPS adds phenomenal rules to filming.
Yeah, just started looking into that one last night. Need to see how things play out. Total government overreach imho. Thanks for the kind words!
HAPPY SABBATH. PEACE.
Same to you!
Wow absolutely beautiful video and I really enjoyed watching it. New subscriber here from #RTBL
Greetings from India 🇮🇳
Thank you very much! Greetings back from the US and welcome to the channel! :)
Pastor Randy, I’m hearing on other channels that some court case was recently overturned allowing the National Park Service to ban commercial video activity for CZcams, etc.
Greatly appreciate it if you would do a video on the known facts about this, what it really means going forward (?) and your personal position pertaining to: is this really constitutional?
I think the case needs to go all the way to the Supreme Court for the sake of freedom, liberty and our constitutional rights that millions of Americans have fought for (and many died for) throughout the entire duration of our national history. Government is FOR the people and it’s time we stand up for our freedom!
Hi Jeff, actually became aware of that recently. Personally not sure what to do. With you 100% on your remarks, which by the way, were very well articulated. CZcamsr Jeven Dovey has put out some good content on this subject. Thanks for the comment!
OTHER PARTS ARE UP AND DOWN VERY STEEP HILLS ON THE NARROWEST PATH IMAGINABLE AND VERY UNEVEN WITH FALLS JUST INCHES TO EITHER SIDE OF THOUSANDS OF FEET. YEAH. HAPPY TRAILS.
Enjoy your week!
or we call it EDEN here
Right on! Spectacular scenery!
OK, MY FAULT. THIS IS THE VIDEO I MEANT TO SEND IN MY COMMENT BELOW. THERE IS NO HIKE LIKE IT. PARTS OF IT ARE HIGH PEEKS AND DECERNTS WITH NO CLEAR TRAIL ON WHAT LOOKS TO BE A VERY UNSTABLE SURFACE.

That's some intense stuff!
