We courted high in the Smokys in the early 60s. She was a native of those mountains and I an outlander to her. When we met out eyes locked. Our future was decided for the next 60 plus years with that first glance. Then she passed leaving a business she created, her writings, two daughters, 4 grandchildren, a national audience and one husband. She was a grand person. A very talented graduate of a tiny k-12 which was owned by a small college where she graduated with a high school degree, her BA from the college and her MA all on that small campus.
Fantastic video, thanks.
Can't wait to see TN! I'm set to do the full AT trail starting next April. I'm scared, excited, anxious.
Been going there for 30 yrs I find something beautiful every time! Thank you for your time and dedication. ..........ATB!
Thanks!
Thanks for a great presentation! I can hear your love of the park in your voice. God Bless all the Park Rangers!!!
Excellent job on uncluttered history and park info! We drove through the park several years ago, but unfortunately did not have time to explore. Time to go back!
Thank you for making this!
You're welcome!
Hey there. Thanks for all this info! Found it useful for planning my SM trip 👍
This video is so well done I feel like going back. That being said, once in my life was enough. I went during the week in August. Scenic drive in from North Carolina but Indian Casino and tourist stuff starts popping up the closer you get. Klingmans Dome was crowded and not that impressive. Fog/Smog doesn't lift and clear views are rare. There aren't short hikes with great views against a clear blue sky like out west. The parkway is nice and winds up and down through trees. Motorcycles and cars and people at every stop making it impossible to take your time and relax. Then out of the park into Gatlinburg and bumper to bumper traffic for 25 miles to get to the freeway. Whole way cheap hotels, souvenir shops, Dollywood, Elvis museum, Mini golf, Go Kart, Coney Island Boardwalk tacky strip mall crowded nightmare.
What a wonderful video. Thank you for doing this. You allow alot of people who cannot go to the national parks to see them up close.
Thank you!
excellent video.
Thank you for sharing and all of your work...
Thanks for watching!
I love living so close to the Smokies and the Blue Ridge.
Great area!
Thank you for you hard work on your videos as well as in the parks. I'm so sorry for what you're going through and I hope this all changes very soon. Consider me subscribed- your glimpse of the Smokies has me excited to visit and explore. You have a lovely, professional yet personable speaking voice and I think you'll go far on here! OK end creepy compliment :)
Thanks for your kind words. Glad my video could get your excited to explore.
Wanting to do a classic road trip possibly in 2020. Will use this channel as a reference for cool national parks we can hit up. Keep it up!
Eric Abroad glad I could be of use!
👌✌
Absolutely beautiful video thank you for sharing! Can you share any resources for wheelchair accessibility at National Parks? We have a wheelchair in the family and are looking to do a bit more road travel. -e in CA
Every park is different, but here are some quick things:

Love your videos on our National Parks! Hope you can go back park ranger job soon (but please keep making these videos) :D!
If my job ever comes back I will slow down to making one of these a week.
Good job
Nice video. The only thing that I might say is that for locals the word Appalachian is pronounced with "latch" in the middle instead of "laysh". Ap-pa-latch-an instead of Ap-pa-laysh-an...LOL
In TN/NC, it's pronounced "App-ah-LATCH-un"
I'm from Pennsylvania and I've pronounced it my way all my life. We share this mountain range and I'm fine with not regionalizing it during videos where I provide the narration.
Thy said in year of 1969s
Whenever Dennis Martin' became missing that a Bigfoot or wild man living in the back Wood's of great smoke's mountain's grabbed Dennis Martin'
The people trying to find Dennis nevertheless ever found the child Dennis Martin's been missing all this time form the great smoke's mountain's of north Carolina!only 6---year's old
Thanks if please
What happened to Dennis Martin'!
thank you, love the park. i think you said the clingmans dome paved trail is 1 mile...wikipedia says 1/2 mile: A half-mile (800 m) paved trail leads from the parking lot to the 45-foot (14 m) observation tower at the top of the mountain.
You're right, I had meant round-trip but the audio was strange so I cut it out.
He also said it’s the highest point in Tennessee, it’s actually in North Carolina.
I'll love to know if any bigfoot or wild man living in the back Wood's of the great smoke's mountain's!
Thanks!
I grew up and still live in the Smokies of NC...never spotted a Bigfoot lol but as far as a wild man yes I have had an experience of that! My father was out hunting back in the 70s and stumbled across a bearded wild man he had a little shack with no running water or electricity and didn’t speak well...he was as scared of my Dad as Dad was of him...but over time my Dad realized he probably hadn’t had much outside contact...over the years Dad would leave canned goods, breads and fresh produce outside his shack...he said he could always feel he was being watched but never saw him again. Each time he returned to bring something what he had left before would be gone and the empty jars left sitting by the shack. 💖
@@donnamays24 I linked you're you're story of the wild man!!
PS I'm always wondering Just what every became of the young child that become lost n the mountain's of the wild great smokies... DENNIS MARTIN...... So very sad....😑
V
What happened to " The Great SMOKEY Mountains"??
That's the incorrect spelling, never had an E.
This is the true Case of Dennis Martin' a little boy only age 6---year's old
Year missing 1969s
Missing in the great smoke's mountain's national park!
Never to be found again after all these year's !
Yay for the North Carolina side!
I see you have a horse in this game. I like both.
North Carolina? You mean South Virginia?
I LOVE MY TENNESSEE HOME❣️
IT doesn't get any better than Tennessee 😍😘
Smoky mountains most beautiful place in the usa
The people are loving this National Park to death. I hate the traffic jams and really hate what Pigeon Forge has become, avoid it like the plague. Going to skip Easter trip this year after 2018 crowd, most of the family stay in Gatlinburg on the strip, I prefer up in the mountains away from that. Mount Leconte trail is a welcome respite from crowds.
good video jobless
Looks like the job has finally returned, so I'll be doing these videos once a week now.
@@megatheriumclub for now, good luck to you.
