I’ve been in Gatlinburg most of the week. There is a new building that appears to be finished but empty next to a building still under construction. The are on the same side of the street as Walgreens. Any idea what these are going to be. Surely they’re not another moonshine store!!!
Keep Up The Good Work
WOW!! Another “what’s new” video that is very helpful, not only showing us the attraction, but gives us detailed information revealing that you took the time to research what we need to know! Thanks Ryan & Brie!!
Our pleasure, we hope it helps other families!
Heading your way this month and would watch no other Smoky Mountain UA-cam ers to help plan our visit! Thank you for being a breath of fresh air and always giving us the best content!
Happy to help, hope you have a great time when you come Sue!
Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum Walk-through Gatlinburg by Yankee in the South might help you decide if you want to tour it personally. I've heard that there are shakers for everything you could imagine & you can spend a couple hours taking it in.
Always a great 👍 video from the best UA-camrs in the smokies. ❤love the new stuff.
Thanks Curtis family! We want to just always do our best with the time we have available....Sola Deo Gloria!
Thanks Ryan, we enjoy all the videos that you guys do. For those of us that are not local you keep us up to date on the area. Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review and video. God Bless
Thanks Greg!
What a very well done informative video. So much information included in this video. This is a nice change from the other Smokies channel I used to watch.
We come from Wisconsin love watching videos every month. It is nice to see the smokes. Can't wait to come back.
Thanks Kim, hopefully you can make it back soon!
This is a really helpful video. Thanks so much! We have some salt and pepper shakers we purchased from the museum. It doesn't take long to walk through the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum, but we enjoyed it. Glad we checked it out.
Great video.! Ive been there many times, and never seen Gatlinburg have such low traffic. We went in Early May it was busy.!.
Ryan you give the best updates for the Smokies. It certainly will help for our vacation to the Smokies in June. Love your channel & family so much. May God Bless.
Thanks Patricia, hope you have a great time in June!
Thank you- can’t wait to come in July- excited to check out the Crazy Mason, Buccees & Anikeesta !
Hope you have a wonderful July trip!
Thank you Ryan for the updates. Much appreciated. You are the Best!!!
Thank you We look forward to all of it! Your videos are so helpful and we cannot thank you enough
Always great information. Thanks for all you bring.
Wow keep more new places ❤
Thank you watching it.
Thanks! I haven't visited the area in over 10 years. Excited to see all of the new attractions next month!!
Love these update videos! Thanks, Ryan!
Great video as always Ryan. Very informative. I can't wait for the Truth Traveler to open. That is going to be very cool. Thanks for showing us where it is going to be. It's hard to keep up with all the changes. Thanks for keeping us all up to date.
Thanks for another great monthly update. Was great to run into you and Brie at Dollywood last week!
Love all your videos! Very informative!
We are looking forward to trying out Olga's, those look amazing.
Thank you for these updates! Much appreciated! Can not wait for Target!!!!!
Our pleasure Donald!
Thank you for all the updates. I’m looking forward to trying the new wears valley restaurant. The timing is perfect as we will be there this weekend with 2 of our adult sons.
Our pleasure, hope you have a great time Debra!
Great video as always ! Thank you for the updates !😊
Our pleasure David!
Very informative and what a great day you chose to do a drive around 😊
It was, happy to virtually bring you along with!
Fantastic video!We'll be vacationing there next week!Sure hope the weather is as nice as it was when you were filming 🌞
We’re already here! We love it!
Great update. Looking forward to trying some of the new attractions and eats when we visit in just over a week.
Thanks Ryan, Nobody covers the new stuff in the area as well as you do.
Happy to help Phil!
Thank you for keeping us updated.
My husband and I enjoyed the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum. We went in 2010 or 2011. We plan on going next summer.
Would love to see a review on the Mexican dessert shop in Pigeon Forge called La Monarca. I've only seen it reviewed by one person!
I have seen it and popped in to check out the menu. Just haven't had time to do a video yet, will try out out ASAP...thanks!
Thanks for another informative video. These are helping my family plan OUR next adventure in June. Stay safe and God bless!
Our pleasure!
Informative and entertaining video. I was there in December. I'm amazed by how green the mountains are.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the whats new video. Wish we were there. Thanks Ryan.
Very nice video. Be in pigeon forge tomorrow and Gatlinburg in Saturday
REally appreciate your videaos! Be there May 4th
Our pleasure, hope you have a great time!
You do a wonderful job of showing all the new stuff. These businesses should pay you.
We're coming this weekend! I'm so glad to hear that the car show is a smaller one. We were a little nervous about that, but it was the only weekend we could get to food and flower at Dollywood.
Love your videos. Have you guys done an in-depth video on the trolley system? We moved to Newport a month and a half ago. Last weekend we took the trolley from the Anna Porter library (parking is free) also free parking at the post office in Gatlinburg to downtown Gatlinburg. Spent time there. Then got on the pigeon Forge trolley at the welcome center on the spur (paid 2 dollars there) that took us to the transit hub where we paid 6 dollars for 2 tickets at the transit center for an all day trolley pass for the pigeon Forge trolley. we went all the way up to Tanger outlets then Walmart also got lunch at the smoky mountain brewery near where the Forge cinema is. We didn’t have to drive with the stress of the traffic. It was so nice. We will be using the trolley system from now on. We’re planning on parking again at the Anna Porter library then taking the Gatlinburg trolley and the pigeon Forge trolley to Dollywood one day. The pigeon Forge trolley goes to Dollywood. So if you’re coming up from 321 (lots of campgrounds on 321 going towards Newport) in the Greenville, Newport and Cosby area you never even have to get to dense traffic if you park at Anna Porter library/Rocky top sports park or you can park like I said at the post office in Gatlinburg ALL FOR FREE!! 😁
HISTORIC ROCKY WATER INN. THIS IS IN GATLINBURG AND WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. THE LUXURY HOTEL ROOMS. PRIVATE RIVER BALCONY AND YOUR OWN PERSONAL INNKEEPER THAT CATERS TO YOU. YOUR INNKEEPER WILL TELL YOU WHAT GREAT PLACES TO EAT HIKE DINE EXPLORE IN PIGEON FORGE AND GATLINBURG. WHEN ITS BEST TO GO AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER WHILE YOU'RE HERE. A HOME AWAY FROM HOME. WITH YOU IN MIND.❤️🙏🏻🙌🏾
We stopped by Olga’s Yodel when we were in town last week, and Ryan, you have to take the family to get cinnamon rolls there! They were the highlight of our quick trip to the Smokies this time. Beats any cinnamon roll we’ve ever had. And Tanya was so friendly and welcoming! Great experience! Quality work as always.
That view from the Sloppy Hog looks amazing. I'd love to check this out.
👍
Love the smokies in May. It’s the best time to visit, in my opinion.
Thank you for this video, wife and I are planning a trip there in October.
Our pleasure, hope you have a fantastic time in October!
Hi Ryan. It was good running into you at Dollywood last week. I put my sticker on my car!! I have a funny story to share. Last year we took a trip up there in May, thinking we'd miss the school crowds since they were still in session. To our surprise, on two different days, schools had end-of-year field trips and Dollywood was swamped!!! We enjoyed it anyway!!
Nice to meet you to, glad you were still able to enjoy your time!
I would love to live there one day. There's so much to do & always changing & growing!!! 😍
thanks for the video and the info on the pet friendly hotel
Our pleasure mrhoneybearjr!
We're pulling the camper to Pigeon Forge for Dollywood May 8-11. Our first trip ever.
Love your videos!
Thanks Kathy!
Great update! Thank you! We’ll be staying out on 321 later this year, so I’ll put the cinnamon rolls on our list. We pray you all are doing well. Thanks for the great coffee break this morning!
Our pleasure! Busy with work and finishing up kids sports/school & prepping for a week long FL trip. Hope you have a great time later this year!
@@AdventureIsOutThere FL weather has been great. It’s been a long, mild season. It’s been perfect for visiting the springs, playing ball, disc golf, etc. I’ve been meaning to check out any disc golf courses in your area. I’ve heard there’s one at Mills Park. Great sport for the whole family!
@@aaronj3323 We saw some of the course recently at Mills Park when our daughter played Gatlinburg High School's lacrosse team there. I remember saying, "We need to come try this course out soon", so hopefully will make a video of it one of these days!
Thank you for all the updates and information. Wow,the upcoming Truth Traveler area will be such a nice family friendly stop. Those old shops back there is where my hubby & I went on our honeymoon and got some things to take home for our little newlywed apartment. We just celebrated our 29th anniversary in April.
Also,I think calling the BMW an unofficial welcome sign is pretty accurate😂.
Your videos are the best, thanks for taking the time to film and for sharing all of this great info! We’re excited for the new Dolly experience at Dollywood! I didn’t know you were a Floridian, what part of FL are you from?? I’m originally from Brevard county 😊
Thanks Kelsey! I’ll be at the Dolly Parton experience tomorrow and will be sharing highlights ASAP. We’re originally from Tampa Florida and moved up here six years ago.
Heading there on May 8th .... Thank you for the video
Our pleasure hope you have a great time when you visit James!
We've been to the salt and pepper shaker museum. It's definitely worth a stop. It's a fun in between doing things place to check out.
I always enjoy your monthly informative videos. I would like to go all through the arts and crafts community again. It's been way too long.
Truth traveler's looks amazing!! I can't wait
👍
Great video lot's of new had no idea Don Marco's went out. At the end the Salt n Pepper Museum is a must a hidden gem never thought i would want to go in but did and should of years ago
I was surprised to see that Don Marcos ent out to. It was the 1st place we ate at last year. We thought the food was good!
They didn't miss anything in that area of Tennessee. You sure wouldn't ever get board!!
Ryan
I've been to the salt and pepper shaker museum. As a senior I enjoyed it..
Very helpful video series. Can you show us Bud's Gun Shop and where it is in relation to everything else?
We will be through there the week of the 13th from ontario canada looks beautiful
You have to go to the salt and pepper museum!We thought it might be corny,but it's really a great place to visit ,SOOO MANY... It's incredible,check it out it's a ton of fun,and I believe it's 3 bucks to get in,a good deal.Thanks for the May update,the Wears Valley stops look like it's on the list😀
We will be there at the end of the month!
Awesome, hope you have a great time!
I will be going to the BBQ & Music Festival in Sevierville. Didn’t use their official title. I got penguin salt & pepper shakers at the museum’s gift shop. I’ve been on most of the back roads. I love that area. I have to laugh at myself when I start providing information to the locals there!!!
👍
Thanks for the video. I feel like I am riding along with you when you do these type of videos. I love that they were cleaning up some of the graffiti up but it should of been there to begin with. People talk about the beauty of the smokies then they come and trash it. It just makes me so mad. Rant over . Thanks again for taking time out to make these videos
We went to the salt and pepper museum. It was kind of cool. Take a trip there.
Great video. The Salt & Pepper Museum is just a unique place. I think it’s like $3 for adults and kids 12 and under is free.
Heading there at the end of June! Staying 2 nights in Pigeon Forge at Margaritaville, then 2 nights in Gatlinburg at Edgewater ❤
Hope you have a wonderful time Beth!
@AdventureIsOutThere thank you 😊 just easier to do everything in pigeon forge 2 nights and walk to island and not worry about parking and easier to stay in Gatlinburg and do everything 2 days there so we can walk to everything close by than try to find parking.
Decided to try Sloppy Hog Saloon after watching the video. Definitely recommend.
Thanks for sharing, we will try to check it out when we can!
Ryan, Yes the Salt & Pepper Shaker is absolutely worth a stop. They have thousands of different shakers. They’re setup in different categories, so it’s easy viewing. It’s a good way to spend an hour or so.
It’s really cheap admission, $3 per person, so yes it is worth it.
They have a gift shop at the end. If you purchase anything from the gift shop, your $3 admission goes to your purchase, so you basically get your admission fee back.
But even if you don’t buy anything from the gift shop, it’s only $3 to get in. Even if you don’t enjoy, it’s $3.
I stop in every couple years to see any different shakers they may have or any that I might of missed last time I was there.
I’ve bought a couple of sets of shakers from there. One is shakers of Batman & Robin from the old tv show & the other is Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd & Daffy Duck from the cartoon Rabbit Season Duck Season.
Thanks, we will have to check out someday!
New to your channel. Great content, BTW! It would be helpful to have a small GPS screen showing your turns and routes. Thanks for the information!!
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
I guess I have to check out this BMW!
Curious about those mountain bike trails - appropriate for novices?? Also would have liked a look at the cinnamon rolls! Thanks! Be there in 3 weeks 🎉
I love your videos.
Could you please tell me what is that dome cage is on the hill just as you're leaving Pigion Forge.? I've always wondered what it was for.
Thanks Connie! I believe it was part of an old zipline attraction that shut down.
Love watching your videos.
My question is are the streets flooded this week? I am coming in on Friday the 17th and I am worried every thing will be closed due to rain flooding.
No, we got some rain last week, but nothing out of the ordinary.
What is the most reliable source for weather in the Pigeon Forge area? Thanks for your help.
I’ve been to the Salt and Pepper museum. It’s basically a woman’s collection of salt and pepper shakers. It’s really neat to see all different types of shakers. Is it worth? If you like doing cheesy tourist attractions it’s worth it.
I’ll be going to the Smokies late August. I look forward to all your updates over the summer. Thanks for making these videos! I haven’t been to smokies in quite awhile.
You need to do a video for The Hawk Ski Lift In Wears Valley - It Was Great
It's on our to-do list!
Do visit the salt and pepper shaker museum. You'll be amazed.
Would u guys have a calander of events for July 15-20th that’s when we are coming dwn same place in this video it be our first time there and plus we’re doin Dollywood as well . Thanks
How far away is Cades Cove from the slt and pepper museum? We are staying right across the street....
Great video as always. Have you heard any updates about Paula deens adventure park reopening/plans for it? Also, I seen rumors that Ripleys Haunted attraction in Gatlinburg is closing?
No word on the adventure park, my guess is they are hoping a 3rd party will buy it from them. I'll ask about the haunted attraction...thanks!
I want to do the Skyland Ranch and ride the coaster!!❤
It's one of our favorites!
We're moving down to Greeneville, TN in June and hoping to make it to the Smokeys some point in July if we can. Eldest child will be 10 in July and is very interested in Soaky Mountain.
Our kids enjoy Soaky Mountain, hopefully your move goes well and you can enjoy it soon too!
When did you make this drive? I've never seen the Parkway so clear. Usually by the time that I get to the Titanic Museum, traffic is at a crawl.
Are there stores that make Hard candy in Gatlinburg/PigeonForge/Sevierville? Not taffy, but make their own hard candy.
Where do you find that bypass overlook? We would love to stop there
We show how to get there in this video: ua-cam.com/video/MqMK_Lf33rE/v-deo.html
If you want to go to a water park that is cheap is Kentucky splash 15.00 dollars a ticket and lake whinne
First comment! I love your videos
Thanks BANANAQUEEN!
@@AdventureIsOutThere you're welcome 😊
Go Truth Traveler. 🎉🎉🎉😊
We hope to make it up to your way at the ark asap!
Hello from Michigan! Love all of your adventures and appreciate your insight. I sent you an email and never received a response. I was just curious what you guys use to film your videos and which software you use for editing? Thanks for keeping us updated on the weather and new attractions available. We will be there in a couple of weeks-yay! Have a blessed day~Lori
Hey Lori, I saw one come in recently asking about equipment. I haven't replied as I planned to make a video going over everything we use as I get asked that a lot and planned to respond with the link once it's up. Will try to get it up ASAP!
@@AdventureIsOutThere A video on that would be great! Maybe we will run into you while we are down there-we have a lot planned for the short 5 day trip. We hope to get to Cades Cove this time around as we couldn't do it due to time constraints the last time. We are also planning on one day in Gatlinburg, one in Pigeon Forge, one in Sevierville and one just hanging out at the resort and trying to get in a hike. We always watch your new videos and we are looking forward to trying out several of the places you guys have reviewed. Keep those vids coming! Blessings to you all~Lori
when is the rebuilt Pucker's opening?
I haven't seen a date officially announced yet. I was skimming over minutes from the city of Gatlinburg and saw their sign keeps getting disapproved, so we will see.
Be in pigeon forge with my wife for vacation in june
What's a good souvenir shop in Pigion Forge.
🛍️👀👉ua-cam.com/video/KiZwr5UdmKw/v-deo.html
Is it crowded on memorial day?
It can get pretty crowded on holiday weekends!
Dollywood
👍
I remember when Wears Valley was basically empty. I wish it still was…
👍
@@AdventureIsOutThereno negativity. I understand that time and development march on. I’ve been visiting G’burg for almost 50 years. Wears Valley is still our choice to stay though. It’s so nice out there and still pretty close to all the “stuff”. Great video!
@@BrianMcKnight68 thanks!
I saw photos that the truth traveler was going to be where the old china gift mart was. Is that all connected to the red roof mall?
As we mentioned it will be across from 3 Bears general store. We went to where the GPS led us based on the address given. Our main objective is to give a heads up on the announcement & share concept artwork. As we mentioned, we will share updates in the future when there is more to show as it doesn’t open until next year.
@@AdventureIsOutThere Love of your videos, have been watching for a year or so now.
@@dunlap4info happy to have you along for the ride Mandy!
What time of the day is this?
Filmed middle/end of the day.
What are your recommendations for Adult things to do?
Hey Carolyn, I would check out this playlist for ideas: ua-cam.com/play/PLRq0zJxf6i1HDMyE2QAxuWa8gNHvwAwx4.html
