    Thanks for another high quality, great video!
    My rattlesnake story is from Arizona or Utah, we stopped somewhere, I don't remember, but we heard a ratttlesnake in a bush in the dessert. I wanted to see it so I threw rocks at it. Kids thought I was crazy trying to scare a rattlesnake out of hiding!
    But closer to home, I live in a National Park and we have copperheads and copperheads in my yard all the time.
    I finally bought a snake grabber and bucket to out one in, and I capture them and take them down to the creek far away from the house.
    Whenever I hike the trails out back, we are always on the lookout for snakes. We've only had a bear once (that we know of) on our deck. Gotta love wildlife, the pluses and the minuses.

    I came to Gatlinburg in 1994 and my girls and I hiked to Laurel Falls. The fog came down into the forest on our way up and we felt like we were walking in the clouds. It was AEA break, and we wanted to visit Cades Cove, but we never had the chance due to flooding and trees down across the road. Little Pigeon came out of its banks and flooded the downtown area. It looked pretty scary!!😊 Hiking the AT is on my bucket list! I've got high hopes!😂

    When people ask me if the humidity in south Louisiana is as bad as they've heard, I say: "It depends" . They ask "On what?" I respond "On how good you are at breathing water!"!!! 🤣🤣 Think about how bad it would have been if the temperature's higher, and the humidity is higher, and there's no breeze!! It's like a wet wall. Thank you for doing a hiking video. I know it's not the most flavored and viewed, but I sure love them. 👍

    Better to raft with contacts than glasses. People have lost glasses, cameras, coolers, wallets. The companies have lockers. Wear cheap sunglasses and old sneakers or water shoes. The conpanies take down your id info, so you dont need your wallet. I wouldn't even take a disposable camera. Some things are better remembered than photographed. Rafting and tubing included.

    • @RobOlgatree
      @RobOlgatree Před měsícem +1
