I’m from Smith raised there , and that church is Faith Holiness pastored by Spencer Burkhart! The Full Gospel Pentecostal Church which was Pastored by Rev. Ernest Hensley, the Baptism spot is right below that church which is brick, it’s called by the locals the Shaney Hole it’s used by both churches. If you cut left from where your at stay on 987 you will come to 2005 which will take you to Black Star and over to Pathfork, KY. If you stay on 987 and pass up 2005 you will come out at Cubbage and through shilalah village which will bring you out at Middlesboro @ Lonejack school. If you bypass the cubbage bridge and stay on 987 if will bring you out in Pineville, KY. Out on 119. That yellow store was the happening place back in the day it was called Hensley Grocery ran by Bert and Mae Hensley. Mae’s sister Susie Daniels runs it from time to time. It has a few groceries and a pool table. That ATV course is owned by my cousin Marshall Wayne Smith. Smith, Ky, is the most beautiful place in Harlan Co. I love Harlan Co. but you couldn’t give me all of Harlan Co. to replace Smith! Best memories, church, lake, 4 wheelin ‘ and people in Smith!! The Middleton cemetery to your right will take you up to the Hagan Trail across Virginia. If you would’ve started @ the head of Smith you would’ve seen the Daniels Cemtery, The Britton Cemetery across Kelly Smith Bridge, Smith Cemetery is right past the first bridge on your left! Stone Mtn in Smith is a beautiful 4 wheel ride. It’s home to the Rock House and white rocks and home to the Quadra Falls as Gov. Beshear named it and us boys and families had been back there and knew of the falls long before the state ever seen them! Thanks for posting & God Bless, if you have any questions feel free to ask ! Thanks for posting God Bless y’all. It’s what I call Pure Gods Country! Smith used to be a part of Virginia, it was called Sampson!
Oh . I miss the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. I miss the views of the streams and the beautiful mountains. Especially driving though the mountains. Please do plenty of the beautiful mountain drive videos. Sometimes I miss it bad . Love you videos so much .
Born and raised about a 1/2 mile from the start of the video. Family has lived in Smith for close to 150 years, didn’t realize how beautiful it was until I left.
Just bought 130 acres here and moving next month....thank you for the vids..makes me more excited to actually get there..moving from atlanta so huge difference
I was raised in Smith it has changed a lot I road with you guys in the vedio it looks so different the story's I could tell. I'm going to visit for long because it's been a while that road is the old road it goes all the way around and out the water took that road out. We went to school not far from there. From 1to5 grade then we went to hall jr hi and then james a cawood hi School in 76 thanks so much for sharing your video and thinks so much for letting me share a little bit of my time back home in smith.have a blessed day.
My grandparents,aunts and uncles farms are under the lake now. I spent a lot of time there from 1935 until the land was sold to the Army Corp of Engineers. My family had a cabin near my grandparents that we spent many summers in. That was in the 40s and 50s. My relatives are Smiths, Ledfords, and Burkharts. Some are still living there. I left Harlan County in the 1950s and it wasn't until 2002 that I visited the lake. It's beautiful and I wish it would become more of a tourist destination since the coal businesses is nearly gone. Southeastern KY is beautiful. The State should capitalize on that like the mountains of NC have done. I lived in the NC mountains for 20 years and it's no more beautiful than Harlan but THE ROADS ARE BETTER!!! Thanks for the video. ,
We had such a good time while in Harlan last week! We also drove around Martins Fork lake. Absolutely beautiful! And one of our top 5 places that we’re considering looking at houses in. 🥰
Beautiful drive! There's not a more beautiful place in the world as the eastern Ky. Mountains! Such a beautiful area and lake! Great video Coyote's thanks for bringing us along!
Enjoyed, back in the early 80’s as a kid we lived in Harlan Co. Cumberland for five years. Exploring with google earth lots of changes. The highway (US-119) was two lane and now a four lane. We lived East of Kingdom Come State Park. Thanks 👍
To see that beautiful scenery makes me miss it so much!We left when I was a kid, never will forget that place have very good childhood memories!It truly is God's country! Thank you for doing this it means alot.
I thoroughly enjoyed traveling down the backroads with y’all. I’m a backroad, dirt road gal. I hate interstates & 4-lanes. Thank y’all for allowing me to join ya. ♥️
Hi Ignited & Mrs Coyote Yep those steps leading from the road to the water that site sure looked like a baptismal site. Wanted to ask you. Would you do a visit to Brookside Kentucky near Harlan where the famous mine strike happened. A documentary film Harlan County USA was filmed there. Love your channel and really enjoy these driving along with you videos.
I love this video but most of all iam just so happy to know that you wonderful folks are ok I mean so many people are losing their lives because of that awful virus like I have told y'all before I love the video.s were y'all are just riding around and went y'all go somewhere to eat but I look at my friends as extended family 👍 God bless ya.ll hello papa coyote 🐺 God bless your whole family 🙏💕 I forgot to tell y'all that beautiful blue sky made the video even more beautiful 👍
I love your videos. Question ! There are numerous hill/mountain creeks, streams, ponds, lakes & rivers in most every video. Other than mining retention ponds or slag ponds, how good & how clean is most of the water in the large area near you ? Thanks !

Love your channel and really enjoy these driving along with you videos.
There's another great idea from you. We hadn't even thought about that one. Thanks!
Now I remember. My mother took me to Martin's Fork Lake years ago. Be in Harlan soon. Have to get my taxes done. Still use my dad's tax guy.
I always enjoy your videos thank you so much for a glimpse into Kentucky's beauty.
Thanks for watching Carolyn!
