    Dearest Will and Dawn, my husband and I want to express what a tremendous blessing your videos are to us. My family, and early ancestors, are from that region and I have been visiting there since I was a little child. My husband and I, and our family, continue to come to the Smokies and east Tennessee, any time we are able to travel, which is hopefully every few months. It is truly our heart, passion, and refuge. We have been desiring to move there from Florida these past 12 years and have not, as yet, been able to do so. When we found your videos, it is like a piece of heaven for us. We watch them every day. You take us to places we have not yet been able to see, and places we have truly desired to visit. The quality of the videos is outstanding, the music is beautiful, and you capture it the way we see it. We so appreciate you enthusiasm for this treasured region, as we feel the same way about it. I've started looking for your yellow jeep every time we come up!
    We want to learn every possible thing we can about that area, and you have made that so much more possible.
    You both are so endearing and truly 'gifts from God' to us. Please don't stop making your videos. If you ever you feel they are insignificant, know they are truly a lifeline and the deepest joy to us. We appreciate you more than words can express.
    With all sincerity and all our hearts, Patti and Chuck

    Its nice seeing places I haven't been to since I was 11 years old. It also creates an almost hurtful yearnIng to go back. Cherokee, Gatlinburg, Pigeon forge, Cades Cove, theses places were part of my childhood vacations. Love from South Carolina.

    I love the Backroads. Would love to see move of these videos. My husband lived there for over 30 years We married and we lived there for 8 years until we moved. We always take the back roads and we are still learning new back roads. A great backroad to show is how to get into the park off wears valley

    You can also bypass most of Pigeon Forge by taking Veterans Blvd (449) off of 411 in Sevierville. You'll come out by the DP Stanpeed. It's nice to take it when traffic in PF is super heavy, especially if you're trying to get to Gatlinburg.

    Love any information that makes going around traffic there possible! We just discovered Teasters (spelling?) road last year for the first time! I would like to see a simple map if possible that shows just where these roads are in relation to the main roads of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Seiverville. I love your videos! Although this one did make me a little dizzy! Lol! Be safe and well!

    When our grandchildren were younger we stayed at The Resort at Governor's Crossing a lot since they have a water park. Traffic would be horrible at WalMart and on down the parkway. One day we were on Teaster and wanted to get over to Veteran's to get to Collier. I decided to turn on to Ridge Rd not even knowing where it went. I was thinking it was a cross road connecting to Collier and it was. The only issue was taking a left on to Collier from Ridge Rd since Collier was very busy. It took awhile but I was able to get it done. Traffic looked rather light when you were driving on Collier. It didn't look like a typical summer day for traffic. Thanks for showing Sugar Hollow. I have never been on that road.

    @elizabethschreffler9182 Před 2 lety +1

    I love these videos. This road isn't as bad as a road we used to drive. The road we used to drive along had a river on one side. Plenty of people lost their lives on it. I learned how to drive on it. I loved driving on it and miss it . Looks so beautiful minus the river. I just love the scenery. I would rather drive on backroads than on the freeway.

  • @kellyray4109
    @kellyray4109 Před 4 lety

    My wife is from that neck of the woods and she knows every back road to get around. Till I got together with her I hadn’t been to pigeon forge since dolly wood was silver dollar city and they was nothing but water slides and go cart tracks there. She took me all round there just glad I wasn’t driving. Love your videos keep them coming. She worked at Dollly wood for a couple of seasons.

We always look forward to seeing your videos, stay safe!

    Thanks for all of your videos. Your vlogs were instrumental in planning my first trip to Gatlinburg. Definitely keep the short cut videos coming. We visited for the first time in June when they were doing maintenance on the Spur, and we could've definitely benefitted from knowing a way to bypass all the traffic. We've visited again since then, and have plans to return in the future. Thanks again😊

    Yall are a Blessing to me and my family. My husband and I got married at Mountain Valley Chapel in October 2004. We LOVE Pigeon Forge and we have rented a cabin in Gatlinburg before. Last year we rented a cabin in Townsend which was a beautiful area. Our kids loved the whole experience for their trip to TN. The back roads video was a huge help. We enjoy all the videos. Last week we "traveled" with you to Nevada..haha...GOD BLESS YOU..keep the videos coming

    We usually rent cabins in Alpine Mountain on Sugar Hollow road. I had discovered the shortcut up to Ridge Road to the right and down to the The Old Mill area, but going the other direction and coming out over in Sevierville is an awesome tip. Sometimes coming into town from the Sevierville side the traffic can be pretty rough. I will put this in my bag of tricks. Thanks guys

    The last time we were up there, we followed GPS. We were taken WAY out of the way. But I think we were going to the cabin we rented first. The road we took went right along this mountain range. It came out on the road where the craft area is. I wish I could remember the name of the area where our cabin was. There is a golf course at the entrance. We did love the cabin we rented and hope to go back soon. Loved this video. Please make some more. That's part of why a lot of people love to do. Ride and take in the beauty of the mountains. Wow!! Now I wish I was there!!!!! Ya'll are so blessed to live there!!!!!

    Wow! My husband just ran across this video on CZcams and we were watching it in our living room on the TV and boy let me tell you lol. We were just up there for our anniversary in February. Rented a beautiful cabin by Aunt Bugs in sieverville. It's beautiful it's nice to visit but I don't want to live there and to be honest don't want to go back even to visit either LOL we were so terrified of the roads that was running through the mountains and how curvy they were. Being a Florida couple we were definitely not used to that

    My GPS took me the back roads last time there. It was scary art night. But during the day sure saved time. Do more of these.
