    No worries Mike about the gopro settings, this was a wonderful video. Thank you for taking us on a tour, it was magnificent! So much beauty by our great creator. I feel the same about how folks don't take care of all that God gave us. Part two sounds like a plan. Take care and God bless.

    I passed by this video last night thinking oh he is just driving somewhere I didn’t really know what u were talking about because I had never heard of it so I skipped it! Tonight I was watching your video about taking the bar down and u mentioned the views so I thought I would check it out so glad I did! Mike this video makes me cry the beauty , God’s hand in it all! I am 59 years old working 50 hours a week and as u can imagine not much time for anything with 1 day a week off. Lately when I walk the dogs I have been looking at God’s handy work listening to the birds etc. I have been missing growing up a farm missing my grandma Soo much😢 Many dreams of her lately! We take for granted what God has given us! Thank you Soo much for this video it was beautiful! I need more time to stop and smell the roses as the saying goes! This is one of your best videos!

    Thanks for taking all of us along on your road trip. It is so beautiful and peaceful. Love nature and being out side to enjoy every bit of God’s wonderful creations. There is nothing so restful as sitting still and enjoying the sounds, the smell of clean air, the singing of the birds and the sound of running water. At 80 years young, I have done a lot of enjoying nature. Thanks again for the ride. From deep southeast Mississippi.❤

      My grandfather almost bought the lodge before it was a state park. He didn't because it is hard to get up and down the mountain in the winter. He wanted to have his children an education. A side note my husband and I had our first date on the mountain. We had supper at the lodge. We got married across from Janssen park. And we have been married 33 years.

    Did this trail back in the 70’s on motorcycles with two other couples. We left southeast Ks and started it at the beginning trail in Oklahoma and went into Arkansas to the end of the trail. Then on to Nashville.
    So nice to see it again and the memories it brings back. Still beautiful. I do not remember the lodge but we slept in pup tents the whole trip.
    I never miss your show, but I am not logged in under my username on TV, so not sure if you get credit for it??? Maybe say on a show.
    I am glad you keep your show real and not like it’s staged and acting, as some do. I stop watching them. Seems phony!
