MY wife and I Jel did the entire parkway, all 459 miles, in my Miata convertible over two days from beginning to end stopping for the night at the halfway mark then continuing on to Cherokee the next day in early October. This was the second time we have done this.
I am Canadian and love your old cities and towns . One of my great grandfather's fought under Washinton , then left shortly after the war to come to Canada . It saddens me to see the towns abbandon . Now the same thing is going up here . I think it was all the plan to make every one to congregate to cities . As your seeing the true plan unfold now with 20 minute cities and being able to control . I been telling people from when I was 15 I am 52 soon . Many say the city is where the money is I say no , no food , steel ,wood , coal or anything comes from a city , it all came from the country and its not 1880 anymore . I am just outside of Toronto and it was a hourbor city , no need to keep adding to it anymore , we do not live like that anymore as for shipping goods . Anyway the towns you show and other videos show caring loving people , I wished I grew there and then . GOD bless and take care thank you for your time and work making these videos and telling the history .
I was in SW VA. from last Thursday through Sunday! Saw VT win vs Syracuse, and saw great leaves 🍁 myself!!👍 A beautiful drive y’all had. Thanks for sharing.
@@realappalachia Sorry did not mean to post something so negative on your video chat. Just never hurts to at least throw a few prayers up for them and their family. Coal mines have always been a part of this community. Again My apologies.
@@chubbawubba4287 thank you. I cannot thumbs up here but my heart is skipping and I’m Praying. Lord Jesus Help them, their families & Search Crew. Please Lord Jesus. Amen
I have missed you guys. I checked all of your videos to determine if I had missed one, but learned I had not done so. Glad to see that you are alive and kicking. The Blue Ridge Parkway is beautiful. I have traveled it from the beginning to Sparta, NC. I really like to travel the Parkway every fall, but this year, I could not do so. From your video, it is as beautiful as I recall it. I particularly like the Parkway around Roanoke, VA. There is a wonderful place to stop for the night at Otter's Peak. It is like a lodge and has great food. I don't remember the exact exit, bu perhaps you can visit it sometime. During th summer, people can go on a trip ip the mountain to the top. I love Cade's Cove as I have been there at least 3 times since 1980. I remember traveling there during the early evening and at the campground adjacent to the entrance of the Cove, hundreds of deer come out to dine on the lush grass. It is really a historic site to visit. I also love Valle Cruise close to Boone, NC. I hope that you have had a great time on the Parkway. Thank you for taking me along. Glad to finally see you two again. Please be safe.
We had a wonderful time, thanks for sharing your memories and info. With our book release and all the promotion behind it, we’ve been swamped lately more than ever but it feels great to be back on the road
Amazing! I love it. Thanks for this. We travelled some of that parkway in the 70s, at least once. I think we also drove Skyline Drive. We've been to the Biltmore House and Valle Crucis also, but haven't seen any of it since the 70s. To my knowledge we never went into Asheville itself though.
Hey Melody, having tourism is what turns places, unappealing for the locals, I live in Florida in the city of Gainesville, but home is always West Virginia, so when Shaun said shh don't let the cat out of the bag, it's more truth than most people realize, I know we need to develop some things, but when money gets involved, people lose their standards, and that causes all kinds of crazy. Please don't take my statement as anything negative toward you I appreciate everything you do🤟🔥⛪👨👩👧👦🇺🇸🙏 Thanks for real Appalachia! I'm proud to be Appalachian no matter where I live, it's part of my very DNA God bless!
So you guys are peepers huh? lol. Cool video I think I'll hang around since Melody is back on the video, lol. Cool video thumbs up guys. You should to Maine they say they have beautiful leaves there.
Guys, I hate to say it, but please, if you're going to shoot videos through your windshield or other car windows, CLEAN YOUR DOGGONE WINDSHIELD! This is the 2nd video of you guys I've tried to watch but had to shut it off due to the nasty stains on the window (plus it makes your camera focus on the bird poop stains instead of the outdoors). I'm from Virginia and now live in West Virginia and want to love your videos, but my fiancee and I have had to stop the videos due to the stains. Otherwise, love your content, keep it up.

I drove the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia in the Fall on year and the leaves were all changed, it was breathe taking.
I was in SW VA. from last Thursday through Sunday! Saw VT win vs Syracuse, and saw great leaves 🍁 myself!!👍
A beautiful drive y’all had. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful time of year here in SWVA for sure

Prayers for the 2 guys trapped under collapsed coal mine building in Ky today. Still searching.
Oh no, hadn’t heard about that until I read your comment. What a terrible situation. Definitely praying for a positive outcome.
Oh dear Lord Where ?
🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼
What County ??
Why isn’t this on the news like the Rich diving for the Titanic *Memorial*. ??? 😥

@@realappalachia Glad to hear from you sweet folks!
I married a furriner from the state of Washington, but even she loves this!
That’s a big win
Our area can’t be beat this time of year
It really is beautiful

Sweet… you should drive the whole thing… and also drive the Pennsylvania Turnpike
I have driven the PA Turnpike many times, but driving a truck, I was not allowed on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Lots of scenery in PA.
Beautiful! 🍂🍁🌞🌞😍😍 I wanna drive the Blue Ridge Parkway & Skyline Drive someday!! Have you driven Skyline??
So you guys are peepers huh? lol. Cool video I think I'll hang around since Melody is back on the video, lol. Cool video thumbs up guys. You should to Maine they say they have beautiful leaves there.
