Flint Creek Trail in Lamar Alexander Rocky Fork SP, TN

Flint Creek is a beautiful creek side hike, but it also contains the tragic history of a massacre. A wintering camp of Native Americans were ambushed during a time known as the Chickamauga Wars. Many died and were buried on site. This trail allows you to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, but to also revisit a tragic time in history.

Road Trip Day: Fifty-five. National Parks protect national resources, and that is still true for this kind of odd park.

Grand Coulee Dam, Banks Lake & Steamboat Rock - Washington State
Well done video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching; I'm glad you enjoyed!
Thank you so much for posting! I recently moved to Jonesborough and now have another beautiful place to show friends who visit. I am surprised there are not signs of Hurricane Helene. On a map the park appears to be within the path of the storm.
Welcome to East Tennessee; Jonesborough is a lovely place! We have other videos for Rocky Fork SP, and a few coming out soon for other places that we have frequented in the area. I'm sure you can find lots on info online about one in particular - Marguerite Falls near Greenville. There is another set of falls above that one (Bailey Falls), that are accessible if you don't mind scrambling up a bank and rock hopping through a creek. I hope you enjoy your adventures!
A lot of hot water. Great video
Yes, indeed. Black Sand Basin was pretty active on the day we visited. It was a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!
One hot bath pool
(Laughing out loud). Yes! That is one "hot tub" experience I think I will avoid!
What kind of electric skillet are you using? I like that there is no nonstick.
Cordon Bleu Electric Skillet. I purchased it (and several other pieces) in 2001 from the home sales company. Cordon Bleu is excellent cookware, very durable and easy to clean. A quick internet search shows that they are still available on Facebook Marketplace and Ebay, but are now considered vintage. If you find a set in good shape, I recommend considering purchase. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful
Sounds more like a Bison Jam. Lol. Great video
They are beautiful to look at, but can also encourage you to have patience! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
I want to go
Sounds like an upcoming trip goal! Thanks for watching!
Awesome

Very interesting

Wonderful

Great video.
Thank you! We have some adventures closer to home coming up soon. We will follow those up with a trek through the United Kingdom. We will see you later as you "come, go with us!"
I LIKE my trailer ROCKIN Helps me get that spot 😊
Well, I have heard people say, "If the camper is rocking, don't bother knocking."
2 years later. How is this holding up?
Very well! We haven't had any issues nor have we had to make any adjustments. Thanks for watching!
@@mmlifeonpurposeok, i got some work cut out for me then! You said you made 10 supports. Is that 5 columns on one side and 5 on the other?
@@someoneelse6119 Yes, you've got it! You may not need as many. It just depends on the length of your RV. Ours is a 33ft travel trailer.
mobile home anchors........nice. I was wondering that from the start.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you! I highly recommend this trail. It isn't technically challenging, in my opinion, and the views speak for themselves.
I have hiked everything around kootenai fall ,growing up there was fun
Wow, that would be so interesting to have grown up there!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2
Thanks for visiting!
Is that mars
This area of Olympic definitely has an "otherworldly" feel.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1

Beautiful place. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2
Many thanks!
how long is your rv? how many columns did you use 4 or 6?
Our RV is thirty-three feet long and we used 8 supports. Probably more than we needed, but the camper is very stable. Thanks for watching!
Awesome review of the historic lights. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and we appreciate you watching!

The one thing I would like to say for people that do this. Yes, it’s a good idea. If you know how you’re supposed to do it once it’s put together do remember that does not mean that you can leave your holding tank valves all open and just expect to use it like a normal house, that’s how poop pyramids happen in your black water tank so please if you are going to leave any gate valve open at least leave just your gray water and your black water tank fills up then drain it just like you normally drain it if you’re not at a permanent structure
Excellent point and I am very glad that you made this comment! We keep both black and grey valves closed so that we get a "good flush" when emptying the tanks. We also rinse the black tank regularly. Very important advice, thanks again!
My dad visited from the east coast ages ago in 1998. We went here. There was a sign "don't stick your fingers thru this grid" or something to that effect. I was about to stick my finger thru, and my dad said "I wouldn't do that". Just that second lightening-bolt-fast a sea lion sat up from the ledge and had its teeth right where my finger was going. THis attraction blew his mind (and still does mine).
Wow! I don't know if that is fun or scary...probably both! One of the experiences that made an impression on me was how loud it was in the caves with all of the seals barking. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I know little to nothing about most things related to full time living in RV’s. Sadly, im learning as I go and it can be rough. I’m amazed to come accross your videos. There are few like this actually addressing these issues so I’m very grateful! A bit overwhelmed actually too because my trailer is definitely not well stabilized like this and certainly lacks underpinning. Anyway, I’m not clear what benefit you have here adding these sewer pipes? You will still need to empty your tanks so how is this helpful? Again, please forgive my ignorance here. Thank you!
Good question! Firstly, it is more sanitary because you never have to touch the hoses again. The rv hoses that folks use when weekend camping deteriorate with long term exposure to the sun. The pained pvc does not. Also, the "slinky" never completely drains because the pipe is corrugated and the pvc, if installed with correct slope will drain. We also included a clean out access should a clot occur. At three years of use we have not had any issues. I hope this answers your question. Feel welcome to let us know if you have other questions!
Those snow walls are crazy tall!
Yeah, right?!?! We understand that a lot of the snow is piled up from snow blowers clearing the road, but the impact of snow that high above ones head is still fun, impressive...scary.
Looks delicious
It is! Thanks for watching and commenting!
i live in lenior nc ive went up there so many times the veiw is amazing u can see wlms and hhs but i wish they kept the gate open so people could take dirtbikes and stuff up there
My friend who was hiking with us might agree with you! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks so amazing and perfect for the Christmas season
Thank you - and for watching, too!
What’s the purpose for the piece of wood on top of the blocks I’m trying to do these on my rv
The wood acts as a cushion between the steel frame and the blocks. This is necessary to avoid cracking the blocks due to normal vibration and minor movement. Thanks for watching!
You don't get altitude sickness from that rapid of a change in altitude?
No. We do have to make some hiking speed adjustments if we are in an altitude much different from what we are used to due to breathing rates, but, thankfully, we haven't had any significant issues. Thanks for watching!
That's a lot of snow! Beautiful
Glad you enjoyed! I've got a video coming up from when we hiked in Mt. Rainier Nat. Park. Whew. I'll leave that story for later. Thank you for your comment!
Not many people find Potato Top, beautiful view, I found it after trying to find a short cut. If you get to the top of the falls, there is a trail along the creek. About 75 yds up there is a 5' ledge all the way across the river. Before you get to it, the trail veers off to the left. It dead ends back at the creek. There is a great water slide here. Walk up the center of the creek, there is a large pool. on the river right side is a water slide worn smooth by the water. We went up there in July and Aug to swim. also hiked up the creek until it intersects the AT. From here is a short hike to Dennis Cove.
Wow, thanks for the info! We love finding places like that and may add it to our next hike to Laurel. Regarding Potato Top, we went past it a couple of times, but persistence paid off. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I wish you guys were in PA I need your expertise!
I hope the videos offer some help! Thanks for commenting and watching!
You're so creative!
Thank you very much! I had a lot of fun seeing where this craft would go, and am glad it turned out the way it did! Thanks for watching and commenting!
nice to see some of my old stomping ground <3
Glad you enjoyed; thanks for watching!
The electronics problem was spooky!
I thought it was a bit unnerving. I've had folks ask me if that actually happened. It really did happen, and it stopped after we left the Roswell area.
There Are Petroglyphs All Around Tucson.
Thanks for the tip and for watching! I typically want to go back to places I've visited because there always seems to be interesting things we didn't see the first time. Hope to return to Tucson someday!
Man. I work on the USS Hornet CV-12. Even though she's only 2 years older, it's AMAZING how different they look. Of course, the Midway also lasted about 20 years longer in commission...
It is interesting to hear that two years made such a difference. Makes me want to learn more. Thanks for sharing!
I have no idea why youtube keeps suggesting me these tiny channels but I'm just so happy to support! God bless!!
Thank you! Your support is appreciated!
I was forward deployed onboard the USS Midway CV-41. Best ship I served on of my 3 carriers. I was single had a great time on my 4 years onboard. Midway Magic!
Midway Magic - sounds like you have some stories! Thanks for sharing your connection with the USS Midway!
The USS Midway was the sister ship to the USS Coral Sea CV 43 and was our carrier when deployed 1987/1988 med cruise with our f-18"s and airwing CAG-13 , Great memories the 2 ships were almost identical and thanks for the video !
We are glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for sharing your connection. It is great to hear personal experiences; we certainly enjoyed our visit!
" A Horse with No Name ".... would also be appropriate . nice video !!!
Yes, it would have been; thanks for watching!
It's beautiful!! Never heard of it. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for watching!
