Great! I'm so glad you can get some use out of my videos. My main goal is to help people get outdoors and see our beautiful places. Thanks so much for commenting! 👍

Glad you appreciated my little attempt at humor. 😃

It's a beautiful country that's for sure! And I love Unclaimed Baggage. So much fun poking around in other people's stuff. 😂 Thanks for commenting! 👍

Cool! We spent about a week up there at the end of May. It was a lovely escape. Thanks for commenting! 👍

I enjoy a good waterfall! -- B

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 👍

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for subscribing and commenting! 👍

Yes it would! I had planned to last spring but got busy and missed my chance. 👍

We did enjoy our visit! I'm always very sensitive to private property and when we visited last (January of 2022) the signage wasn't clear. I need to go back and spend more time checking it out. Thanks for watching! 👍

Well, I can't really predict what your experience with construction will be. I can only say that for the section of the BRP we did, there was no construction and it was pretty easy for us to get up there from Alabama. But, it is a beautiful drive with lot of fun things to stop and see along the way. Good luck! 👍

Thank you! I'm sure it depends a lot on what time of year you are there and what the weather is like. We got very luckly and had a beautiful drive. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 👍

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. We are always glad to have you along. 👍

I do still ride. I now go to university and rarely am able to ride my home trails of Monte Sano. However I need to go back soon because lots of new trails have been built. Thanks for watching. ~Jacob

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! The sound is really amazing and comes in two distinct frequencies. The high frequency is more of what people think they are making, but there is also a low frequency that is harder to pinpoint. It sounds to me like a wire trimmer running. 😂 The tips of the trees are brown because so many eggs have been laid in the branches that it has killed them. Loved the story about the dog. I can so see that. 👍

It is gorgeous! 👍

I have a new Blue Ridge Parkway in NC video coming out soon! Stay tuned!

Great! Its such beautiful country. 👍

My birthday was two days ago

Happy Birthday! 🥳

Thanks for watching! 👍

Thanks. Monte Sano rarely disappoints. Thanks for watching! 👍

Nope! Not at all. Be VERY careful around the edge! 👍

Thanks! And thanks for watching. 👍

Their sudden explosion into our lives deserved documenting. Thanks for watching. 👍

No I haven't! I was just in Asheville, NC two days ago, but was just passing through. In the Smokies right now. I'll have to look it up so I catch something there on my next pass through.

Thanks!

No. This was a branch off of the stream about half way from the camp site to where we had lunch. In my Braziel Creek area map, it would be right under the W in Sipsey Wilderness. drive.google.com/file/d/12QnavwY1hIkXvQEyWTHYQDhc3M81r9th

It should still be there: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hTLHLpYO4HmYDHq2RCQ86Gth317BpCLB

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.

I can't seem to find any indication that it has operated for a very, very long time.

I have never known the funicular to work. I thought it was decommissioned over 25 years ago. I've also never seen the old vistor's center and entry gate manned by anyone.

It is a lot of fun and yes, you can stand up as you go through it -- which is nice!

Great to hear from you Lobo! Yes. I need to visit your part of the world. Very similar geology, but I'm sure there are interesting differences. Thanks for commenting! 👍

It was very relaxing! No issues at all. The road is winding for sure, but in a nice scenic sort of way. The tunnels were nice markers along the way as well. I highly recommend stopping at the visitors center and stretching legs there, but we also got out at a few other view points and I don't regret it!

Yeah, she did great! They are very lucky parents. The Fat Man's Squeeze is a major highlight of the route. If you haven't been to it, you definitely need to go! 👍

Well said! Thanks for watching. 👍

Yeah. It just keeps getting better and better as you go. It’s a very easy hike with an awesome reward. Thanks for watching! 👍

Yes. I lured her out with the promise of being able to play with our friend's baby! 👍

Thank you so much! The entire purpose of my videos is to show people how to get to these amazing places. No one is willing to protect a place they don't know about. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching! 👍

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

🥲 I don't know what to say . Thank you so much for sharing that memorial of your wife with us. We are honored to have touched you in this way with our little video.

Thanks! 👍

Thanks! It was a great trip with new friends. Thanks for watching! 👍

It's definitely worth the trip! It was a lot of fun, that's for sure. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! 👍

It is an very beautiful set of waterfalls -- and I didn't even show you all of them that we saw! It can be done as a day hike, but is a little long for me (7-8 miles round trip).

So glad to hear that! I'd love to meet up with you sometime. Send me an e-mail (southeasternfrontiers@gmail.com) and I'll try to let you know the next time I do something in the Bankhead. I'll warn you though that sometimes it can be very last minute as I try to work around my work schedule (and weather)...and summer is upon us now and I'm not a native Alabamian so could be slow for a while! But, sometimes there is a break in the heat. 👍

@@SoutheasternFrontiers sounds good. I’m originally from Michigan so I no all about dealing with the heat struggles I will send you an email buddy

I have to cram a lot of hikes into the spring so that I have content through much of the summer! 😃 👍

I understand that, we have gone camping out there in all seasons and love it.

Absolutely! Had an awesome time getting to know you and Handyman. Definitely need to do it again. 👍

It is! And you should if you can! Thanks for watching. 👍

Greetings Lobo! Great to hear from you. Trying to get in as many hikes as I can before summer arrives and spoils it all with excessive heat! 🥵

Thanks. I need to find more places where I can just walk along the Tennessee River. I have a few places in mind. Thanks for watching! 👍

Jacob has ridden in this area many times. I'll ask him to comment on that. Yes! Daffodils do mean there was likely a homestead there. I actually was thinking that when I saw them, but then forgot to say anything. 😜 I-65 is crazy loud and made worse in that area by being elevated. But it's still a lovely trail along the river's edge. Thanks for commenting! 👍 -- Joe

Also, note that the gravel road I walked between the I-65 bridges is officially closed to ALL access through October 2024 due to the bridge work I observed, but you can still cross under the bridges. See: www.fws.gov/refuge/wheeler

If you are looking to ride this area I'd recommend parking at the "Southern Carnage" bike shop in Mooresville. From there riding from one end to the other and back is about 20 miles. With some of the alternative routes I've gotten about 30 miles without repeating sections but never 50 miles. All sections are rideable by gravel bikes. I usually ride this when it's to wet to ride trail as training. It's a pretty ride by the water that is very flat. Hope that helps! -Jacob
