THE PERFECT FALL RV DESTINATION - Paducah Kentucky (Fall RV Camping)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- If you visit Paducah Kentucky, it will warm your soul like the pumpkin spiced latte that you have been craving. Today you are learning the best places to visit in Paducah Kentucky that will guarantee you the sensational fall season colors that you dream of!
We are full-time RV living and stumbled across the small city of Paducah Kentucky on a whim. You can expect a laid-back atmosphere and quiet leaf-colored streets. The "mom and pop" stores will bring you all the tasty treats and shopping to fulfill the fall sensations.
We are showing you the best RV park to stay at in the area of Paducah while RV living (we stayed here for a week). Next, we are taking you on a journey through some parks in Paducah. These parks are family-friendly and provide a great environment for leisurely strolls, riding bicycles, or even playing disc golf!
There is a welcome center that you can't miss! It looks like the white house and is straight out of a history story. Finally, we are showing you a great family hike to take just outside of Paducah Kentucky that resembles an arch that you would see in Moab, Utah.

Can you count how many times that you found Henry the duck in Paducah?? What are some of you favorite RV destinations during the fall season? 🍁 - Kyle and Renee
This is my hometown
My hubby & I landed in Paducah for a 1 week stay before heading towards Louisville in june of 2022 (did not leave!) We fell in love with Paducah and KY - so after 12 years of RV traveling, we settled down in Paducah!❤ The charm of the town & the friendly folks made our decision easy (also the cost of living & we could afford a house with land here❤)
We stayed at Fern Lake RV campground (couldn't get into Duck Creek - which is not too far from where we ended up living!) - nice folks & they allowed us to extend our stay till we found a home!
FYI - Paducah has a paducky derby every fall (little rubber ducks) that helps raise $ for local charities.
Y'all came in November (fall colors are great) but in the spring we have the beautiful dogwoods blooming all over town - even has trolley tours to see the dogwood trail thru old parts of town!
Also if you love beer - head out to Dry Grounds brewery! The best beers & super friendly staff - it was the cap that said we found our permanent home! There is also other breweries with in 1 hr drive in Illinois & surounding areas in KY.
Oh Paducah how we miss you. Red's Donuts especially. This really is a great RV town.
Red’s donuts are the best!
Thanks for visiting and promoting our sleepy town on the river...Loved the video!
Absolutely :) thank you so much for having us!!
BTW - I love your filming. Your footage, timing, music, edits... it all comes together so beautifully and you still deliver your lesson/tour succinctly. You set the bar so high and are always a pleasure to watch :-)
Thank you so much! That means a lot. Our filming days take a while to capture but it is all worth it 😄 ~Renee and Kyle
If you're ever in NC, the Blue Ridge Mountains are spectacular in the fall🍂
We would absolutely love to check out the Blue Ridge Mountains! We have been trying to get there for the longest time 😀 maybe this year will be the year! Thank you so much Jenna ❤️ much love to you from the Hanks family
3:02 - That duck head-dress✔️
Pa-Doo-Kah... Paducah, paaaduuuucccaaa... It just rolls off the tongue. Hehe, Beautiful place, thanks for the tour!
Hopefully we’ve been pronouncing it correctly! 😄 Thanks for watching 😁 ~Renee and Kyle
@@HappilyEverHanks you said it right lol we're from here/live here
Thank you! So glad to know we at least got that right 😅 lol
Great to meet you Doug!!
Oh to be young again. You guys are full of energy. Love it.
Thanks! We try to keep it fun, always!! 😃
We are happy to have you come to Paducah, your video is beautiful, you came during the most colorful time of the year and we hope you come back
Hi Pam! Thank you so much for having us, what a beautiful home you have ❤️ hope to be able to visit again soon. Best to you! - Kyle and Renee
Thanks for highlighting my hometown.😊❤️
Mine and Felicia’s tip is just to skip the stress and do all your grocery shopping BEFORE you hookup and head-out. Too much of a risk/hassle to drag your hauler/camper through parking lots. We used to stop along the way and get ice or food and it was always a hassle to find parking or get safely through the parking lots safely.
Now we stock up before the trip! If we forget something, we wait to get to camp, unhook and go get it then.
This is just the throw back video I needed 😊
I was in Paducah bake in the 70's i forgot its beauty. I am planning another trip to SC, Paducah is on my list. Thanks!
Your channel has come a long way. Been a subscriber for about two years and headed to Paducah in two days.
Thank you for your continued and wonderful support! We appreciate you. Have fun in Paducah!!
Paducah-woohoo! Did you discover it’s a quilting Mecca, also? Thousands of quilters descend upon Paducah every year in the spring for AQS (American Quilter’s Society) quilt week. The National Quilt Museum is there, also. And Eleanor Burns quilt shop (she’s an icon in the quilting world! As you may have guessed, yes, I love to make quilts!
Hey Bonnie!! Yes we heard a lot about the quilter society! That is so awesome! You have some sweet talents to be making some quilts 😎🙌🏼 Love this!!
Keep these wonderful comments coming, we really enjoy hearing from you Bonnie!!
The trees are so vibrant! What an amazing town:D
Beautiful there for sure! It was a really nice town :)
They are beautiful in spring too. So very green!
Awe! I realize I’m watching this two years later but I’m glad you enjoyed your visit to KY. We have a beautiful state here, for sure. Come back. Check out Red River Gorge (my sons favorite for rock climbing), Lake Cumberland for fun time on the water, or even the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. There’s so much to offer in this state! Often, I just enjoy the quiet nature in some of the smaller less touristy areas. I just want you to know you two have inspired me to travel more. Keep on keepin on!
Well goodness y'all drove right passed my home. Had I known you were coming to town I'd of baked you a cake and wrapped up a few sandwiches for the road!!!!! Thank you for the wonderful representation of our hometown.
I love your editing and your fun adventures!! Great job yall! Oh, and y'alls energy!! Hmmm... RV Tip... don't use the famous "I'll do it later" line when you notice the poop shoot is full. DO IT THEN! 🤣
WOW thank you guys so much!! We had a great time here and the scenery was just so spectacular! LOVE your RV tip 😂Procrastination is not a friend in that scenario LOL We appreciate all the love and support from you guys! Take care and happy trails :) - Renee and Kyle
what an amazing place. It does look like you hit it during the right time. Its nice to be able to leave an area to go to a warmer climate
It was such a beautiful area! We had hit it at the perfect time with the fall colors, they certainly popped really nicely 👌🏼Paducah, Kentucky is a must see if you guys ever have the chance to go explore there :) Thank you so much for stopping by, we appreciate you guys ❤️- Kyle and Renee
Paducah? Who knew? Suzannah says the duck should be your new mascot!! More great drone work, great transitions, and great info!! -Chris & Suzannah
We were actually thinking the same thing!! Thank you Chris and Susannah, safe travels guys 😎🤙🏼
It’s been a few years but I was on a quilting cruise on a Mississippi River boat. During the day, we had the bar area to sew in when not stopping at a town. Paducah is kind of a quilter’s Mecca so we did everything that had to do with quilting. Will have to go back now that I have a little rig and see the rest of the area. This old lady can’t hike anymore but can enjoy the scenery!! Thank you for a beautiful video. Absolutely love watching you two!!
We actually saw there was the quilt building there!! That’s awesome that you are into quilting, I wish we had that kind of talent 🙂👍🏼
Thank you so much much for the support. You mean so much to us ❤️ best to you
Paducah is on our list!! Ax throwing and dinner, we are in. 👍 Mantel Rock hike looked interesting. Thanks Kyle and Renee for taking us along. 😁 Safe travels!! Sean & Angie
Yes! Who wouldn’t love throwing an axe at things 😄 Thanks for watching! ~Renee and Kyle
Those fall colors are absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Swoon!
Super beautiful here 😊 this area take fall to a whole new level! - Kyle and Renee
We love that you guys Frisbee Gulf!!
Now that I know you Disc Golf…I’m an even bigger fan 🎉
Ah! My grandparents are from Paducah. Such great shots!
We saw so many beautiful homes! Nice area to raise a family 😄 Thank you for watching and the comment! ~Renee and Kyle
oh hey guys hey! We see you.... awesome video as always! Thanks for the shout out, we had a blast with y'all and are sad to see you go. Cheers to our paths crossing again, hopefully in the near future. Y'all did an excellent job at capturing the beauty of Paducah. We love this little town so much!
Thanks for showing us Paducah Axe and a great time!! We had a blast with y’all and are bummed the RV park has no availability next week but let’s meet up again sometime! 😀
So beautiful in Paducah in the fall.
Renita!! It was absolutely stunning there, we can't wait to go back and visit again soon 😃Thank you so much for the support you show us, we hope we can hear from you again soon!
Wow this is beautiful you two
We loved it here!! Goodness this area was amazing, glad you came along for the ride 🙂👋🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Last weekend in September is the BBQ on the River.
Great food and fun.
lm from Paducah and yes its a beautiful place.
Downtown was bad after suburban mall opened but they did a great job bringing it back as a vibrant area for entertainment,arts, etc.
Live in Waco Texas now which is another cool city.
This is so great AJ! Thank you for watching, enjoy Waco 😃 Hopefully our paths cross one day!
@@HappilyEverHanks
If yall roll into Waco my wife and i would be thrilled to meet you.
Beautiful shots! Love the fall so pretty in its own way. :)
Yes we love the fall too!! So happy to find a hidden gem like this. Thank you guys for stopping by for the adventure 😊👍🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Kyle and Renee, what a great video!! And I do love how you adopted Henry into the Happily Ever Hanks family. 😁 Glad that you got to meet up with the Long haul Lifesavers, how fun is that?! Thanks for showing us around this adorable little town. See you soon!! Christina and Rick
Hey Christina and Rick!! So glad you guys stopped by :) Yes Henry has found a way into our hearts and we might just have to bring him along for more journeys 😄It was soooo awesome seeing Longhaul Lifesavers, what a spontaneous meet up. Super small world when you think of it! Can't wait to see you guys!! Much love from the Hanks family ❤️- Kyle and Renee
Landed at Paducah in our Bonanza - Land Between the Lakes, claims to be the Quilting Capital of the world. Great camping, lodge and cabins. Will definitely go back again... and there's a bison herd nearby.
My wife and I spent a year at Duck Creek! We are travel nurses and worked at one of the hospitals there. Paducah is an amazing town!
As always, great footage. Very very pretty! That is a cool place! Love the new tips segment!
Hey guys! Thank you so much, we are having fun with being able to share everyone’s tips, so many great ideas out there. We appreciate the kind words and you stopping by 😊👍🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Paducah, Kentucky is on the list. LOL! The fall colors are amazing. The city looks like a fun place to explore with its old building and history. HappilyEverHenry! What a cute idea for a campground to do for its guest!
RV Tip of the Week: If your camper has a stove vs a convection oven, and you want to use it, but the bottom of your food gets done quicker than the top, measure your oven, and purchase a rectangular baking stone. This will keep the item baking more evenly.
Hey guys! Paducah, Kentucky was so awesome and you guys will absolutely love it when you visit :) Isn't that a great idea? Henry is a cool little guy, we will have to bring him along for more journeys! Awesome RV tip you guys! We actually just bought a rectangular baking stone for our RV oven FINALLY (Renee's idea after 4 years of full time rv living) lol It has worked great for us! You guys rock, keep these great tips coming. Thank you so much for sharing and stopping by 😊Much love from the Hanks family - Kyle and Renee
That place is Beautiful with the leaves changing!
So amazing!! This area brings the fall season to a whole new level 😊 thanks for stopping by! - Kyle and Renee
That’s a Fun name to say!
Lol it is definitely a different name 😄 thanks for watching! - Kyle and Renee
Been by Paducah plenty of times. Never knew of that visitor center
It's a cool place!
Great video. I am born and raised Paducah, left a few times but always came back. Much of Stuart Nelson park will be made part of a new sports park but all amenities such as the disc golf and dog park will either remain at SNP or moved to Noble Park (both of which are connected to our greenway trail which goes on and connects to the county’s trail system. As of Feb 2021, White Haven looks a little different. They are doing maintenance and have stripped the paint so the original red brick is exposed but it will be repainted soon. If you’re back through check out our museums. Of course the American Quilt Society Museum is the big one but down by the river and Kirchhoff’s there’s the River Discovery Center (my favorite), The Market House Museum and the Yeiser Art Center (different parts of the same building and was the building behind you when you filmed Kirchoff’s) the railroad museum and the Hotel Metropolitan. If your here in June or July, check out the Paducah Chiefs, a college summer wooden bat league team that plays in historic Brooks Stadium. Great job and safe travels!
Thank you very much Gregory! Love reading this 😃 So much great information! We hope that we can hear from you on other videos as well!!
Very pretty place! Your footage was absolutely fabulous!! The ax throwing place looked like a lot of fun.
Hey Debbie and Larry! Thank you guys so much for watching, we hope it was entertaining. Miss hanging out with you guys and hope we can cross paths again soon! Yes, the axe throwing was sooo much fun :) Much love from the Hanks family 😊- Kyle, Renee and Dexter
Never wouldn't known about this place if I wouldn't have taken the exit for diesel and lunch. I was impressed with what I saw just in the 30 minutes I spent there. Still searching for my place to plant some roots, Reno and Des Moines are definitely 2 contestants.....maybe Savannah too.
OMG!! Jennifer and I started playing disc golf last September fell in love with it and have played almost everyday since. Highly addicted!
That’s so awesome to hear!! We will all have to get together and play some disc golf sometime 😃🙌🏼
@@HappilyEverHanks Yes for sure!! Disc Golf, hiking, and paddle boarding our favorite activities.
Starnes Bbq for the win!
When I lived in Paducah when O first moved there White Haven was old and was falling apart. Thank God they decided to restore it. It's beautiful now
Hey Topher! How awesome that you lived in Paducah at one point in your life 😃Do you ever miss being there? Yes, the White Haven restoration turned out to be a beautiful destination to visit
@@HappilyEverHanks for a minute. I still visit. That Mansion is haunted! Plus we would take our prom pictures in front of it. Great video
Oh interesting! Thank you so much for the support, it means a great deal to us Topher
Welcome to my hometown! Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a great town!
It really is!
Awesome! Loved the video. I miss Kentucky...bourbon, Skyline Chili. Hope we can travel again soon. Thanks for sharing this!
Hey thanks!! Bourbon/distillery tour is on our list next! Take care! ~Renee and Kyle
This was the town I moved from last March, it,s a nice place to visit bthe quitting and barbecue on the river best times to vist. Duck creek rv park us a nice l8ttle place to park close to town and there,s a swimming pool right there. I, ve stay there awhile back they even sometimes have campers you can rent to stay there. The owners are very pleasant people
Very Pretty Area! Thanks for Sharing!
Absolutely phenomenal fall colors! We are so glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem :) Thank you Dale! Cheers! - Renee and Kyle
Great video! I live about 20 minutes west of Paducah, KY. When Ballard county people say I’m going to town, they mean they’re going to Paducah. It’s nice to see someone make a video about Paducah. My family has a lot of history there. My mom owned a restaurant on south 6th street years ago. It was Carter City Castle when my mom just worked there. Then she named it Becky’s City Castle when she bought it. My dad and us kids ran a dairy farm in Ballard County. We’d go visit her on weekends. My brother, sister, and I would walk downtown to see a movie at one of the old movie theaters on broadway just about every weekend. I was the youngest, about 11 or 12. My sister was one year older than me. My brother was one year older than her. That was in the early 70’s, back when kids could walk down the street without the worry of being kidnapped.
Hi David! Thank you so much :) What a beautiful area you live in..honestly, we are dying to go back and visit again. Visiting during the fall time really was the icing on the cake. How awesome that you mom owned a restaurant! Dairy farm is no joke, that is hard work. Yes, times sure have changed haven't they? We enjoyed Paducah a lot because it seemed to be a quiet place for the most part. The nice shops lining the streets were welcoming and everyone seemed to be just enjoying it's beauty that it offers. Kentucky itself is just an absolutely beautiful state. We had only drove through it once before this and now we are wanting to visit more. Thank you for stopping by to say hi to us! We are happy to meet you 😃👋🏼- Renee and Kyle
Love all of the beautiful leaves. Great video.
Isn’t it spectacular?! Thank you so much for watching 😊🍁 - Kyle and Renee
My RV tip has been given by many but i cant stress it enough. Make a check list of everthing you need to check before hitting the road. And then like Santa check it twice or somthing naughty might happen!!!😮
Henry is the cutest addition and obviously he needs to be in every video now. I’m jealous of that fall foliage. It was pretty sucky here in VA this year. Great job as always y’all! Much love and safe travels 💙🧡💙
🌚 April and Chris
We were actually thinking about putting Henry into our videos for adventures to come 😄 aww time for you guys to get away and go find some fall scenery! Much love to you guys as well 😊👏🏼👍🏼 - Kyle and Renee
Paducah is a very nice place to visit. Thank you for the video …… y’all do a GREAT job
Thank you so much William!! We really appreciate your support 😎🙌🏼
I passed by Paducah on a few roads trip but have never had the time to stop. Your video makes me want to Paducah. Thank you so much for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels.
We had never even heard of it and boy are we glad that we stopped! So beautiful here, a hidden gem for sure 😃👍🏼 thank you so much for coming along for the adventure. Safe travels to you!! - Renee and Kyle
Hey guys! Great video! Love all of the fall colors!! What a change from the snow!! Henry is amazing and looked like he had a lot of fun 🤣 Thanks so much for sharing! ~ Brandon and Maggie

Great video guys!! Awesome visual and information! Hats off! Throwing axes- yikes- crazy restaurant 😆
Hey thank you so much you guys! Yes it was a crazy restaurant for sure, they kept things spicy 😄 appreciate you stopping by!! - Kyle and Renee
Great videi guys, love your energy! Paducah looks like a relaxing area. Our RV tip: don't be afraid to double or triple check things on travel day. I've caught a few things that I had missed that way. Safe travels!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Awesome RV tip 😃 we have been in that scenario far too many times ourselves lol always pays off to be thorough. Safe travels to you guys as well! - Kyle and Renee
That is a beautiful part of the country. I was stationed just SouthEast of there in the early 80's and loved it. Would love to go back into that area. Outstanding video as always. love your video work.. Thanks for sharing #HenryHanks
Awesome! I wonder how much it has changed since you were last in the area? Thank you guys so much! Henry might just have to start marking a regular appearance in our videos from here on out 😃 #muchlove - Renee and Kyle
The leaf color is insane!
Yes!! It was really beautiful to see 😃 Thank you for watching Steven!
I’ve been binging your videos in order…you guys crack me up! Wanted to comment on this one because my wife is from Paducah and it was really neat to see your experience. We’ve only visited a couple times in the last 15 years, so this was like one more quick visit. Great video like always!
You talk to objects you talk to Dexter so the only thing is crazy is you tell Kyle they probably listen better 😆 Miss Patty cakes inform me you are a traitor! She said count how many times we did not see or hear anything about Dexter. She wishes you many hairballs in the middle of your bed and possibly in a shoe 😂 excellent video excellent information keep up the super work. I say Dexter ought to get his standard rate for the video even though he didn't show up. Take good care of yourselves and keep enjoying everything
I worked on the river there and spent some time in Paducah …. Love the town
That is so cool!! What a small world 😀 thank you for taking the time to share this, we hope to hear from you again soon!!
great editing style, really cool!!! Looks like a pretty cool place to visit!
It’s so beautiful! Thank you for watching and the comment! Safe travels! 😄 ~Renee and Kyle
@@HappilyEverHanksyea the second scene with all the yellow/golden leaves was really pretty and I really like how it was edited! safe travels!
@@southerncharlesfamily6089 awww thank you guys!! This means so much to us 😊 we are happy you guys came along for the journey. Safe travels to you all as well ❤️ - Renee and Kyle
I’ve been through Paducah a few times, it’s very nice.
Such a beautiful area, especially in the fall! Thanks for watching Johnnie! ~Renee & Kyle
Another great video and the area looks amazing. RV Tip: If you are looking to buy an RV-5 Wheel-Camper, do your research & don’t rush into anything. Find what works for your family and make a list of your needs & wants, then go from there.
PS... Once getting your rig... Don’t hit your head on the slide outs it hurts & can leave marks.... Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Thank you Joel and Deb!! So glad you guys came along for the journey :) awesome tip! Couldn’t agree more, we had that problem the first time we purchased and RV. Always a great idea to take your time and know what you want before you go through with the purchase and potentially end up making a huge regret
Those darn slide outs get us all 😉 stay safe out there guys! Much love from the Hanks family - Kyle and Renee
Hi friends. What a treat to be able to watch our first Hanks video with an ad!! Congratulations. So excited for you guys. You have been working so hard and just totally crushing it. Proud of you guys! Mantle Rock looks really cool. Thanks for taking us along.
Oh no did UA-cam place an add on our channel?? 😂 we don’t have our watch hours yet, so it must be that new update that they came out with. Hopefully we can become monetized soon, we only need like 1,600 more watch hours! But thank you guys so much ❤️❤️ that means the world to us to have such great people like you by our side!! Much love to you all from the Hanks family 😊 - Kyle and Renee
@@HappilyEverHanks I got to thinking after I left that comment. That must be what it was. We've seen some ads on other non-monetized channels. But we'll get to running your playlists and start pushing your watch hours!
@@McGuiresOnTires what!?!? We would be so appreciative of that! Thank you guys so much 😃😃😃👍🏼 that just made our night!! ❤️❤️
Love the colors! We have not been to Kentucky as a destination. So far I think our favorite fall spot would have to be New Hampshire. Timberland Campground. We will be going back for sure !
Thomas and Melissa
We have never been to New Hampshire, but always have wanted to! Thank you guys for the inside scoop on where to visit! Definitely adding that to the list ✅ if you get around to visiting this area of Kentucky, you won’t be disappointed 🙂 - Kyle and Renee
Kentucky is such a beautiful state! If you haven't been to Mammoth Cave National Park yet, it's certainly a pretty area of the country too! Really great video, I'm glad I found your channel. Traveling is one of my favorite past times (and the motivation behind my financial journey). Subscriber #854, keep up the great work!
Kentucky was wonderful, we had a great time here. It’s funny you should mention the Mammoth Cave National Park, a lot of people have been suggesting that we go there as well. Thank you so much for the support, we look forward to seeing you in futures adventures 😊 - Kyle and Renee
I am amazed at your picture taking… I hope one day you discuss how you get the great shots you get for your videos… I mean talk about using a drone and How you get side shots of you both in your truck as you drive? All of it Kyle.. I mean Carl..What ever your name is😂 Thank you guys you two Rock!!!

@@HappilyEverHanks Thank you! (By the way, my name is Jo, haha. I'm on a different account 😂)
Oh too funny 😂 Thank you Jo! We are so thankful for your support ❤️
Nice Video guys. Loved the tree hugger shot. RV Tip: For those of us searching for a RV don't rush. When inventory is low pricing goes up and when Inventory is high pricing becomes competitive with other dealers. Remember it's your money. Take your time find the right RV and the RV dealership you want to deal with. ~ Reggie & Cheryl.
LOL gotta love the name of these disc golf courses 😄Thank you guys so much for watching, we really appreciate the love. Take care and happy trails - Kyle and Renee 😊
Thanks for the heart I’m going to start watching you more
We appreciate this, it’s great to meet you 🙂 what’s your name by the way?
@@HappilyEverHanks great to meet you too my names Holden
Awesome Holden, hope we can hear from you again soon. Thank you again for your support, best to you - Kyle and Renee
@@HappilyEverHanks thanks I hope you will too
Another great video. Next time you guys are out that way, go check out land between the lakes.
We wanted to go there but didn’t have much time!! Thanks for the suggestion 😃 ~Renee & Kyle
So pretty it just 4 hours north of us so may have to check it out.
So close!! We had never heard of it before stopping here and we are thrilled to now know about it. I’m sure it would be worth the trip for you guys 😉 thanks for stopping by Bill and Kelley! - Kyle and Renee 😊
Whoa, that mantle rock looked cool. Never heard of it, but after traveling through I now know that Kentucky is full of places and things I've never heard of before. Like "Paint Lick" Road. Yes, that's an actual road name. The only one in America, per Google.
Mantle Rock was a hidden gem and worth the visit! Not strenuous and fairly easy little trek out 🙂Kentucky is so beautiful, we can't wait to spend more time there! LOL had no idea that was a name of a road until now 🤣Have a great day Tanner!!
Paducah, Kentucky! That's where my favorite Christian singer is from. Steven Curtis Chapman.
Mac!! That is so awesome to hear 😃 It's a beautiful area for sure
Have you ever been here before?
@@HappilyEverHanks not yet. When i get my RV I will put it on the top of the list. That's a beautiful area from the videos I've seen. How are you three doing?
We are great here! Staying cool (to the best of our ability) while be in Florida 🙂
How about you guys?? Is it hot there?
@@HappilyEverHanks oh not at all. Winter has hit early and hard. We have dropped into the 50s at night.
Oh wow! That is definitely not what I was expecting to hear!
Hope you stay warm!! Always great hearing from you Mac 😊🙌🏼
Great video! You really made us want to go and check out Paducah! Our tip is to use a HOTLOGIC Mini when you need to heat up leftovers on the road. It's very convenient and it won't overcook your food like a microwave tends to do. Safe travels!
One thing im sad noone mentions when they make videos on ky is the arts. Like downtown most of the fire hydrants are painted. Its really cool to me. Im glad you liked my hometown. Its really special.
That is something we really are kicking ourselves for not checking out more! Beautiful home town Cynthia! Thank you for having us 🙂👋🏼
I'm surprised, ya'll haven't tried your hand in painting pictures of some of these beautiful places you drive through.
That would be quite the challenge for the Hanks family 😅 #NotArtists
Some of my dads family lived in Paducah! Unfortunately all have since passed. Y’all are getting close to my old home in Indiana and my parents and their families all grew up in Illinois. Man seeing all the pretty leaves makes me so homesick!!! I left Indiana at the age of 17 but it will always be home. 😊 gotta love some axe throwing! 😀 well thanks....I’m officially homesick for the Midwest now!!! 😂 great great video once again!!! Absolutely beautiful shots. Y’all are awesome!!! 😊
No kidding?? What a small world! What a beautiful area this place has turned out to be, we don't want to leave! Renee's dad is also from Illinois, I believe east St. Louis if memory serves me right! Sounds like you guys have some road trips coming to ya in the near future then 😉Axe throwing was so much fun!! Have you guys ever done anything like the axe throwing before??
@@HappilyEverHanks not yet on the axe throwing. Seen it at scream o geddon last Halloween though. 😁 growing up in Indiana and having a wood burning furnace I did my share of putting axe to wood though lol!!!
@@AlliChuckAdventures lol yeahhhh sounds like you have enough experience from your childhood 😂 Thank you guys for everything! Happy trails - Kyle and Renee
You guys just crack me up. 11 cuts had the duck in them. Tell me I won something. 😂 I have been a conductor on a train to Paducah Kentucky. Oh, Kyle can throw forehand...interesting. 🤔 Nice putt sister. Oh, you both can throw forehand. Nice putt brother. I have not played Disc Golf in Paducah yet. I t is on the list now. Nice meetup!!! That bar looks amazing! Ax throwing, I'm there. Another great video with a great feel to it. 850!!!!!! You are Getting Close!!! ❤️👍👏 Donovan & Jodi
😃Hey nice catch with counting Henry in all the shots LOL We might start adding him to more of our future adventures! When we get our stickers in the mail, we will be sure to send you one :) Yes, we have been throwing forehand quite a lot. I usually only throw backhand during mid range shots or putts. We will have to meet you guys in Paducah sometime to play some disc golf! That is awesome that you were a train conductor, how did you enjoy that? Axe throwing was so much fun, have you guys ever done it? We definitely need to come meet up with you guys! It was such a spontaneous meet up here, what were the chances?? Small world I guess 😊Thank you!! Yeah we just keep plugging along, hoping that the ball keeps rolling just a little quicker each time lol Always great hearing from you Donovan and Jodi ❤️👊🏼😃- Kyle and Renee
@@HappilyEverHanks It was ok. I'm glad to no longer be working on the railroad and I didn't have to do it all my live-long days. I like retirement, A LOT.
We went and visited your friends' channel, the Longhauler Lifesavers and I may have worked them over too much in the comment of their latest video, especially being the first time they have even heard of us. I made fun of you guys as well as our own channel. I hope I didn't run them off. LOL
@@RVOnTheWayside Can't say I blame you! Retirement sounds amazing, hopefully we can achieve that sooner in our lives than later :) SOOO glad you went over and checked them out! They will be thrilled and they are not easily scared lol They are good people and really great personalities. Thank you for the continued support friends, take care and happy trails - Kyle and Renee 😃
@HappilyEverHanks I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning and it has been a major stress reliever from everyday life watching your journey.
If you’re ever in Kentucky again, I highly recommend going to Bowling Green, the city of my Alma Mater Western Kentucky University. There’s a lot of great restaurants, the campus is honestly a beautiful place to walk and I highly recommend checking out the Corvette Museum. You also HAVE to get donuts at GADS, the Great American Donut Shop. It’s a staple for college students in the area since they’re open 24/7.
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and congrats on the success so far with growing the channel!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to write a comment. This means so much to us ❤️
Thank you for the recommendations, these are incredible!! 😃 We can't wait to come back to Kentucky and explore some more, we didn't stay there nearly long enough.
Tell us about yourself, what's your name? Are you currently living the RV life?
If you’re ever back that way consider Garden of the Gods in southern Illinois in the Shawnee national forest. It’s about 30 minutes north of Paducah. It has great views and amazing bouldering on sandstone cliffs and crevasses.
Hey Steve! Thank you so much for this wonderful suggestions!! We really appreciate your support and feedback 😊 Hope to hear from you again soon!
Love the fall colors, when you guys go to towns do you ever think hmmmm, why are most of these towns started in the late 1800s? Seems we lost time somewhere and then restarted time afer 1850. I love looking a old buildings.
Us too Deborah!! So much beauty located within these old towns ❤️ We love the fall colors!! Thank you for your wonderful support, it is so great to hear from you 🤗 Talk to you again soon!
Dear Renee and Carlyle...OK, I loved that video! Kentucky is on my bucket list (especially the distilleries), but I think I should add Paducah to the list! I want one of those ducks.
You would absolutely love Paducah! The distilleries sound amazing, we haven't had the chance to try any out there. Maybe we can all meet up one day at one 😃🙌🏼It's always so great hearing from you Bob!!
Camping near Bardstown, KY would be the most central location. It's closest to Maker's Mark, Jim Beam, Buffalo Trace, Pappy Van Winkle, 4 Roses etc. Etc....
@@davehill Thanks much. You set my mouth to watering!
That would be really awesome to be near all of those locations!! Thank you for sharing Dave!! 😀
Next time you are in Paducah, check out Metropolis, IL. It's only a 18 minute drive and it's the "Hometown of Superman". They have a big celebration in June every year also.
Hey Brian!! Thank you so much for the awesome suggestion! We never knew that this existed! We definitely would love to see that 😃🙌🏼Do you often go to that event? Also are you currently living the RV lifestyle?
@@HappilyEverHanks I have not been there yet but have always wanted to go there since I'm only about 4 hours north of Metropolis. We are looking to get an RV in a couple years after the kids are done w/school. I can't wait to start living the RV lifestyle and will probably go somewhere warm during the cold winter months here in Illinois.
Keep up the good work, love watching you two and the places you go. Hopefully we may run into you tow someday and you can tell us all the things we are doing wrong. LOL. Safe travels!
That’s so awesome to hear! We really hope that you guys can also join the RV life as well, you guys seem like a great fit 😎🙌🏼 feel free to reach out to us anytime we can be of help in answering questions about the RV lifestyle!!
Thank you again for your amazing support, we really hope we can continue to hear from you on our other videos as well. Your comments brighten our day Brian, it’s been great getting to know you 😀 Best to you and your family, hope to talk to you again soon! - Kyle and Renee
Paducah looks amazing! I'll have to add that one to the list too! And I really like disc golf but I'm so bad at it haha you guys will have to show me how to throw properly since mine always ends up in the trees or in the water haha!
So much to see right!? Don't worry Stef, that's exactly what we do most of the time too with the disc golf 😂It's like the trees and surroundings waters suddenly sprout magnets when you throw the disc lol Had you ever heard of Paducah before watching this video?? this was a first for us
@@HappilyEverHanks No I never had! I've only spent time in Hazard, Kentucky so I haven't seen much of the state. I'll definitely have to change that soon I hope!
@@whatsayu7421 we hope so too 😊👍🏼 we need more of the Henne’s in our lives
I’m heeereee!!!!
I have a tiny plastic orange cow we found on the beach over 20 years ago and he’s jumped from car to car since the day we adopted him. He’s in my car now! His name is Mister Beefy! 😁
Hey Adam!! Thank you for being here! Ready to come to Paducah, Kentucky? 😃
Mister Beefy!! 😂🤣😂YES!! lol Henry ended up seeing so much during this trip lol Maybe we will keep taking him along for the adventures. Henry and Mister Beefy can do a meet up
Loved this video! We stopped in Paducah this year, too, and visited the National Quilt Museum. We’d love to meet up this winter if you head to Florida. We have a place in Stuart. Just PM us on Instagram, if you head our way. Our RV tip of the week is, when buying a used RV check the age of the tires. If they are more than four years old, replace them. Ours looked new, but we had a blow out on a busy interstate in our first week of our seven month journey. It could have been a complete disaster. Protect your investment and buy some peace of mind.
Hey John and Bev you guys are so wonderful for the invite! We would love nothing more! We will be sure to message you guys if we get down to the Florida area for sure :) We missed the National Quilt Museum this time, but are looking to come back in the near future to explore some more of Paducah. What a great place it is here! Love you tip, that is something that can easily be overlooked when purchasing a used rig. Those tires can be tricky and like you said it's always best to stay ahead of the game on those things. Thank you guys so much for the kind words and support. Safe travels to you both, much love from the Hanks family 😊❤️👍🏼- Kyle and Renee
