Yeah, I know....we do a lot of Carolina Thread Trails and see so many historic buildings just crumbling away. They are like the old barns we see here-and-there. I'm old enough to remember the days before remote controls and microwaves. We've come so far with technology, but the anger / violence is something on a whole new level. I just heard about another mass shooting this morning, it so common place. There was a time, when this theatre was up and running, the shootings were not heard about as they are now....this was latter 2000's. It is rare we go out anymore to eat or see a movie....we just assume wait and stream it at home with a home made cast iron pizza. Our 35th anniversary will be September 16th....The Abyss is on one of the streaming channels, I saw it....either Hulu or Tubi, we plan on watching it. I have not seen it since 1989 on our first date at this theatre. Thanks for the comment, you're right.

@@hairstoyou7248 I'll ask her, I'm sure she would. It's wild I just saw your post on this video...I just decided to try running the soft white wheat through the mill I make oatmeal and it worked out well, cooked good with no lumps in about two minutes....just one serving. Anyhow, I'll ask Sandra...we might be able to put something together within a week or two. Have a great day!!

Looks like we may be recording this the week of 9/16....should be posted the same week. Have a great day!

@@itzamia Nope, it had very good seats and price. Parking lot was packed as always. It was not their fault for having to close. Landlord refused to repair pipes. "The Gem" in Kannapolis is still rock'n about $4 a person, kids are cheaper....another house packer....lots of history with that place, been many times. Cheaper does not always mean less quality.

@@joycedwyer8778 I wish it was cheaper to buy. It's $10 a gallon here. I treat myself from time-to-time. I can buy three gallons of store bought for what I pay for just one gallon of raw milk. I know it's better for me, just so darn expensive. You have a great day....thanks for the comment and hope you find another supplier!

Awesome, you are so welcome and thank you for the comment. Sandra said to let us know how it turns out! Have a super day!

@@Yoda63 We have not tried the others....may just try that out, thanks for the tip! Have a super day!!😊

No...urban legend was exactly what I meant....when you actually look-up the term "urban legend," it reads..."The term “urban” doesn’t have anything to do with a story starting in the city. We use the word to help distinguish between older, classic stories, and those developed in modern society." (literaryterms.net / urban legend). I also used it because it is a popular catch phrase folks have heard...everyone usually perks-up when someone says "urban legend." When we were thinking of a playlist "urban legend & ghost stories" came to mind, because not every urban legend has to do with ghosts. We still have "45" counties left to do out of the 100 in North Carolina. We will begin to explore these new counties starting latter October of 2024. We have several more urban legends / ghost stories we'll be adding. I will say though about this one....there does seem to be some sort of connection with Bigfoot. In one of these stories we came across in another area, a made-up story was spread to scare people away from the illegal moonshine operations some had in the area. Montgomery County supposedly has more "Bigfoot" activity than any other county in the state, at least this is the information I found. That was some incredible information, seeing I backpack / hike in that area.

@@journeythru-n-c I was "snarking" about Haywood County not being "urban", but was more about the legend not being modern. As I originally posted, "Urban legend connotes a more recent or modern phenomena", and you, yourself even stated "those developed in modern society". The legend of the Boojum started around 1900. I don't think anyone would consider 1900 to be modern. So, I see what you are trying to do by lumping the 120 year old, Haywood County folklore in with "Urban Legends". If you said "Urban Legends, Ghost Stories and Folklore", then you'd have everything covered. BTW, I just uploaded more vocalizations of Hootin' Annie from last Monday, and these are amazing! As an active researcher of over 20 years, I'm 99% confident that Boojum and Annie was/is Bigfoot. They just came up with an interesting backstory to explain all the hootin' and hollerin', and sightings of a 7' tall hairy man who sometimes got caught spying on the ladies bathing up here in the mountains, after they built the Eagle Nest Hotel. In fact, the building of a road, the clearing of land and construction of the hotel is the exact same pattern of human behavior that leads to increases in Bigfoot encounters and activity, that take place today: Encroachment upon their natural habitat to expand our human infrastructure. And the construction of the Eagle Nest was a HUGE DEAL. I'm going to have to look into Montgomery County, though there's plenty enough going on out here to keep a bigfoot researcher busy!

Yeah, I would've never even considered much about the term "urban legend," unless you had brought it up, so I got a chance to glean some more insight about it...cool deal. We've been wanting to go to another Bigfoot Festival in Marion, but scheduling it has been tough. We've only been to one a few years ago. We did go to the Expedition Bigfoot Museum this past travel season and heard some of the vocals they had....really bizarre. That was a museum I was always hoping to go to and we decided to check it out while on a trip at the tip of NC, we were camping real close to it. I did a video about the trip, here's a link...ua-cam.com/video/gAwf2f5i-kA/v-deo.html Anyhow, thanks for the insight, I'll check-out the recordings....be safe!!

Cool deal....yeah, we love camping there. They did such a great job with that area...and the restrooms. Thanks, we hope to get on the road with some new places mid to late October. Have a great day and safe travels!!

@@eileenlohrer5876 Our motorhome is around 8 1/2 feet wide. Yes, it is a little narrow, we could not pull-out awning. You could message owner for more exact deminsions....he is extremely helpful and just a true gentleman. I will say, if we were to have pulled-out a bit further, a larger RV could fit in and pull-out awning. Hope this helps, have a super day!!

Thanks. It doesn't look like much of a site. Can you place chairs near fire pit? Or any space for a screen room?

@@eileenlohrer5876 The fire site yes...I can't remember if the fire ring can be moved. There is more room in back of site, but not sure if it can accomodate a screened-in tent area. I would get-up with owner, this place is still being shaped and changes are being made...it is a work in progress. You may want the other site we spoke of thst goes straight back...we give the site number in the video.

Thanks. Most of the videos are just showing the creek and not the site.

@@eileenlohrer5876 Okay, yeah, I know that is frustrating. He was working new sites when we were there...lots of new sites. The ones we show are not going to be the only sites. He is the new owner of the place and was working hard on the area. I'm sure he would be willing to send you some pictures....he's such a great guy.

You are very welcome, sorry I did not give anymore info. It was literally a spur of the moment thing and the main office was closed. We do hope the visit is pleasant and wish you safe travels!!

@@DannyLeeOGT Sure thing, you are very welcome. Yes, so many memories...gosh, that area was such a hang-out spot back in the day.

Sure thing...you are very welcome. Have a super day!!

Thanks for that insight. We just got another mill "Nutrimill" which is an impact mill. It has a bowl undernearth to keep the dust down and holds more. We are still gonna keep this mill though for a back-up / cream of wheat. Thanks for the comment / insight and have a super day!!

Wow, thanks for sharing that information! It's really neat to learn about some of the old stores you see still standing. Have a super day!

The ranger there told me, when we were talking about it feeling like you were walking in a desert...."Come back in July!" Thanks for sharing....have a super day!!

I'm still learning about that "lock-in" fee....seems there is a reason for it. I had watched a video where they explained exactly why they do it and how in the past they did not allow folks to pick their sites....the UA-cam video was a news channel for RV'ers, seems to be on top of what's going on. They did say that the campgrounds need to be upfront about the extra fee and not wait until the person has went through picking the site, filling out all the information and then hit them up witht he extra fee. I still am on the fence with it though. Yes, that farmer's market was very cool and seemed like a happening place! Thanks for sharing that, have a great day!!

Cool....I've had many folks reply about the history on this place. Did you say you could buy cigarettes there when you were "9"?

​@@journeythru-n-cyep 😂. My daddy would send me in there all the time 😂😂

I can tell you just about anything about walnut cove lived there 20 years still have family there. I now live about 15 min away in King

Whoa, I hear'ya (LOL)

I was delivering plants to the Foodlion there and saw it, just had to stop. Thanks for sharing that cool info!!

Thank you, very unique area for sure. Have a super day!!

Sure thing, right before she puts them in the oven, she lays them on a griddle to brown both sides. After that she puts them in the oven. They turned out perfect. At the time of the comment, she's in the bed (after midnight LOL).

Oh wow...thanks for sharing that! We took that trip a couple years ago, first time I have ever been to Reed Gold Mine. Thanks again and have a super day!!

Thanks for sharing...have a super day!!

First time we tried it, awesome recipe....let us know how it turns out! Have a super day!!

Whoa....nah, we like it with butter, salt and pepper.

Thank you...means a great deal!! Have a super day!!

You are very welcome...it is something different and unique! have a super day!!

Sure thing...we really enjoyed our time out there and the staff was top-knotch!! have a great day!!

I bet they're out on-n-heavy now. That is a nice place out there. Thanks for the comment and safe travels!!

Cool, thanks for sharing that!! Have a super day!!

Congrats, we'll do! If I remember correctly, it was around $4500 for a Class C of the size we had. They had it done in exactly 3 days. That is some really tough stuff. It is much like (if not the same) as bedliner material, but they also spray a white UV protectant on top. I am very happy with it. Have a super day and we hope you have much success!!

Awesome!

That was a really cool place! Have a super day!!

Congratulations on your purchase! That is a really nice campground. Check out "Harvest Hosts" also and you can find some unique places, many are boondocking locations, we've done videos on several of them. We're attempting to stay in all "100" counties in North Carolina...55 done at the time of this comment, hopefully, we can give you some ideas on some of the places. We wish you safe travels!!

@journeythru-n-c I've subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos. 😊

Thanks! We mainly do our trips in the cooler months....October - May, but, we may throw in a trip here and there in the Summer months, but not much if at all. We're taking some downtime, so you may see some Carolina Thread Trail trips. Have a super day!!

Thank you! Wow, that's awesome....we do plan on returning. We've RV camped at their campground before, they said they've improved several things in the camogrounds...shower houses being one of them. Thanks again!😊

Oh wow, that's awesome! It was beautiful out there! Thanks for sharing that, I could definitely see the appeal😊

Okay, I was wondering if it were in fact cicadas....we asked one of the staff there and they told us it was locusts. Thanks for the information!!

You are in for a treat with this campground....don't be surprised if the owner offers you a ride / tour of the land he has. Awesome guy!! Enjoy your trip!!

You are very welcome....that's a great campground that is very close to the zoo. have a super day and safe travels!!

Thanks for sharing! We love checking out old graveyards...the OBX Campground has a graveyard almost in the middle of the campground. The grave yard is situated towards the entrance more, but splits one side form the other. The staff their have excellent records concerning the history of that graveyard. Again, thanks for sharing that and have a fantastic day!!

I told Sandra we should've brought our chair out there....it was very nice.

You are very welcome, you have a wonderful campground!! We got "45" counties left!!😊

Yeah, I know, first ine we saw that did that. This is a very nice campground....I was so impressed with how they took care of the sires.

Yes....Clay County, North Carolina.

Yep....they utilized all the space in that small area ver well.

Thanks for the that information...I would like to visit it some day.

Yes, I have heard that before. Also, the stone figures in the video is actually on display in Cherokee County. A farmer was plowing and dug them up....they believe it is a representation of the moon-eyed people. Have a super day!!

Yeah, that would've been a good idea. We actually have boondocked at the Cracker barrel we passed. If the wind would've been any worse, we would've pulled over. Toe River Campground needs to let that one destroyed area to remain. They are definitley prone to flooding in that lower end next to the river. I think it is a great campground, they need to rethink building that area back....I saw the aftermath and "wow" what destruction. Thanks for the comment, safe travels!

You have a cool channel, I love those retro campers....I subscribed...look forward to checking those vids out!

@@journeythru-n-c thanks!

@@journeythru-n-c I hate towing in the rain.

Oh yes, we use to have a car tow dolly. Outstanding dolly, but man was it a pain to have to set-up when the weather was bad. I have since sold it, because we only travel in North Carolina with the motorhome. We live in the middle of the state and it really only takes us up to 4 -5 hours in either direction to the ends of each side of the state...unless we are wanting to travel the outer banks. Most of our areas we annualy visit are 4 hours or less, so Sandra just chases in the Honda. If I ever was to downsize, I swear I would get one of those retro campers...they are so cool. I don't ever see us going larger.

Ha-ha....I hear'ya.....that was definitley a climb for sure!
