    Took a different approach to this video but leaving some long shots in . Sometimes it’s tough to do simply because I’m editing around music and other things than need chopping up . In reality I’d live to do longer videos with lengthy takes and might continue to do so if the mood hits . What are your thoughts on longer videos versus shorter ones ?

    Had the best night of drinking ever back in 1999 in that lounge upstairs at Ober Gatlinburg. They used to have bands playing on weekend nights up there. 7 of my friends and I..including my younger sister..were enjoying $1 drafts from noon... throughout the afternoon.. and into the night. Decided we were drunk enough to leave.. but then.. the band fired up. We closed the place down and caught the last tram back down the mountain. Tram driver told us we were lucky we caught that last tram. If we hadn't caught it.. it would have been a 45 minute walk down the mountain... or a 10 minute bear chase down the mountain.. depending on how our luck was that night. LOL
    I absolutely love Gatlinburg. Been going there since I was a kid. We live in Somerset, KY on the banks of Lake Cumberland, so Gatlinburg is only a 2.5 hours away. It was always my dad's "go to" for a weekend away 3 or 4 times a year for our family because it was a lot cheaper than going to the beach. LOL
    Some of the best times of my life have been in Gatlinburg with my parents back in the day.... and with my kids even today. We still make it a priority a couple times a year. Thank you guys for this awesome video. Appears as though you guys have been there as many times as I have. Take care and thanks for the awesome video.

    The Carpetbagger is that friend you call in the middle of the night when you figure out you're gonna need a partner to ride the chair lift up the side of Ober Gatlinburg. Another great adventure guys. Can't wait to go there myself someday.

    I worked the Tramway 20 years ago. The building for the mall on the parkway used to be a hotel. Where the ticket booth is now is where the pool used to be. If you look you can see a large crack in the floor from it. You need to ride ot sometime when the wind is blowing. It can get WILD to say the least. If you go there @ or before 7am you can watch some of the daily inspection. There is a guy who rides on top of the wheel carriage to inspect the cables and make sure all the wheels spin.

Glad they're still there. My other favorites were the smokey mtn moonshine distillery tour, apple butter fritters, and our cabin in the mountains that had no electricity due to a storm one night.

    I once did a alpine slide as a kid. I remember at the top we had to carry the heavy cars for quite a ways from the lift to get to the track. I went a little too slow on it and the guy behind me came close to ramming into me. My dad was on the other track and was so jostled around that his elbow managed to rub against the track a few times scraping it all up. He still has a scar there. Great memories, mostly slightly terrifying.

    Our family was there in 2017 for the Solar Eclipse. Man, we really missed out on a TON of stuff we were not able to see! Thanks for the great tour! We'll be much better prepared for next time! :)

    Cujo Oddie and Uncle Harry were the best part of this video. I love your Gatlinburg videos best. Keep up your great work.
