That remains an open question 😉. Stay tuned for a few more videos from this trip. Gotta catch up on your outings too.

Thanks Double T! Stay tuned for a few longer YT videos in a couple of weeks.

@ I look forward to it! I had my first visit with my orthopedic specialist today about my knee injury. I posted about it on the community section of my channel if interested.

Thanks Double T! That first volunteer vaca with the CTF in 2006 really spoiled me with all the scenery.

Thanks for the thanks and checking out the video. It was a lot of fun working on the bridge project with a great group of volunteers and some enthusiastic, motivated US Forest Service people.

Thanks for checking out a bit of my memories! I've done the Durango-Silverton train trip 2x (2005 & 2016) and really want to do the Antonito-Chama & return ride too. Your exploring this area is way ahead of me, but I've been trying to make up for all my lost time since 1968 when I first saw the Rockies and Durango on a car/pop up camper trailer trip with the family that year. My mom had long lost family in Durango and that made the '68 trip all the more memorable for me at the impressionable age of 15. P.S., a word in memory of the USFS crew fella at about 9:59...the following Fall/Winter after this trip, he lost his life in a backcountry skiing accident, leaving behind a wife and several young children. His passion for the work he did made an impression on me the day I met him. 🙏🙏

Thanks for watching and the information. Was not aware of the water falls above the cabin. Had plans to visit that area again in mid-late October but not sure about that now until the CNF puts out more information about the status of North River Road and the campgrounds.

Update from my recent trip. The bridge across the North River has been pulled out due to unsafe conditions but the stream can be easily forded on foot.

Thanks for checking it out and leaving your comment. That project was a lot of fun and I actually did some of the work when I wasn't holding the GoPro😉 The Camp Hale area was actually my northernmost segment of the CT I've done volunteer work on. As your videos get farther south, I'm going to be really interested to see how the trail sections are holding up. I've got a few more vids of my work if you care to check them out too. Thanks again for watching.

@@DrJohn493 Yes. I’ll check out the others.

Thanks Travis! Looking forward to the chance to catch up soon in your great state of Colorado!

Thanks Tim, glad you enjoy the scenery and my strictly amateur videos!

Thanks for watching and leaving your comment.

Well, I really didn't get the best view of him...walking in front of me 😉

Thanks Nicole! Adopted him about 2 months ago and getting him trained up a bit to start hiking, camping and hopefully backpacking with me by the Spring. Always enjoy y'all's adventures!

Thanks for watching and leaving your question. In all the trips I've made to the Smokies and the Cherokee National Forest, I've only seen one bear and he was making it up the side of the mountain fast as he could.

Thanks for following my video posts and letting me know you like 'em.

Thanks Dennis for those kind words. I've always appreciated your collegiality, friendship and being one of my mentors when I became a member of NASAO way back in 1994. I'm again humbled by your remarks.

Thanks Nicole, it was a blast (pun intended)! 😎

Thanks Bryan, I went all out on this one!

Thanks Carl, Linda will appreciate the attagirl!

Sorry for the late reply. You'll truly enjoy the scenery, solitude and peacefulness.

Рада, что вам понравились пейзажи

Spring...or Fall in the Smokies cannot be beat...except maybe Colorado in the Fall. Thanks for watching and commenting. Safe travels!

Yes, it's a popular trout stream. Be aware though that March through October each year it is closed to fishing on Thursdays and Fridays due to the stocking schedule. And a daily permit is required in addition to the fishing license to fish both Citico Creek and the nearby Tellico River. But both areas have plenty of tribs that can be fished 7 days a week. Thanks for watching.

Oh well, gives me a good reason to visit that area again. I was afraid I didn't go far enough upstream on 105. Also met a local after I got back to my vehicle that gave me some good information on the two creeks. Looks like I missed you by about 20 minutes or so. Unsure of the trail you would exit to your vehicle on. Thanks for watching!

I may try doing a video one day while sitting at my fly tying bench. As it turns out, I caught a few trout in the Catalooch using that pattern I tied. Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for checking it out. Talking to a USFS person, they were concerned about e. coli getting into the creek due to all the people that didn't know how to poop in the woods. I saw evidence of that last year. Jake Best worked out really well for me. I'll work on bringing down the music track. Thanks for the heads up. Got that particular Orvis rod for Christmas. Safe travels!

I play with it every now and then when the feds ain't looking 😉😉

It was Frank, can't tell you how much it was another memorable outing to the Smokies. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Thanks Steve...appreciate your following along!

Thanks Carl!! I may have to rename Ivan if his new velcro britches don't work...and Scoots would be a good name to use. Can't visit Tennessee without a sip of MM#46k to make the evenings relaxing. I need to work on my drone PIC though.

Thanks Taylor for checking out the video. I got a lot of fly fishing in along Citico Creek in the Cherokee National Forest and the Cataloochee Valley. More videos from the trip to come. Stay tuned!

Thanks for checking it out Carl. The greenery was lush at the lower elevations but higher up the trees were just starting to bud out. Ivan slept in that morning but he will definitely make a few appearances in upcoming videos from this trip.

I'm glad you enjoyed the scenery and thanks for watching and commenting.

Hmmm, I looked around some from higher up the trail but did not see that.

@@DrJohn493 It's a little longer than what it says on the sign to get up to it. Pretty tall waterfall.

@@NicoleHikesalotWell, that'll just make me have to go back again and see what I missed the first time. Thanks for pointing that out!

@@DrJohn493 absolutely true. I noticed on the hike down that it took us a little over an hour, so it's got to be closer to three miles up. I think after midnight hole, it was approx. 25 minutes more and it will be when you see the hitching post on the left side, go right behind it and you will see the waterfall. It will be straight across from you at that point tumbling down from the mountain. So beautiful.

@@NicoleHikesalot Won't be hard to retrace my steps and go a bit farther. I'd love to see the contrast in the Fall, even though the water will probably be a bit lower and slower. Good excuse to go back!

Thanks for checking the video out!
