Thank you for showing how much effort you put into pulling out. Check, double check. I'm traveling FT solo and make several walk around checks. I'm sure people around me think I'm over checking but I don't want any "dumb" mistakes.
One of the things we have learned is when we want to see a town or an area is to talk to the visitor center for the town or area. Great recommendations on what to do and where to eat.
We stayed in that exact site at Mama Gerties in August 2019. Really enjoyed the location and Asheville. We found it more interesting navigating our departure from the upper tier campsite than when arriving. They've really done a great job in accommodating larger rigs both ways.
Still waiting to see the charging volta system I am intrigued to see it. I liked NC when i was stationed there i had a blast except the cold season ugh haha. Good to see little daisy running around she to cute. Thanks for that she make my day seeing that little tail wag.
LOVE all the videos, ya,ll pick such cool songs please put name of songs. thanks for letting us enjoy your fun too. its really awesome for those of us who can not travel due to being sick and house bound. blessings to you both.. your so sweet together !!!!
We were at Black Mountain, NC, last year. We like it especially the hardware store that had everything you could want. We didn’t care for Asheville, too weird or unusual for us. We did like to go to the Biltmore,we have done both summer and Xmas. Great video!
We are headed your way. The Blue ridge mountains are a definite favorite of ours. Today is my pack up day. We were in Hershey for the Amish food and the RV show. Leaving tomorrow for Lynchburg for a couple of days. Want to visit Appomattox court house before heading to Florence SC. I need some eye surgery. We have reservations for October in Seneca SC. Great riding in this area. So much to see. Travel safe. Robert Woods.
This is a great trolley ride in Asheville, NC! You can see some of the wonderful places and things to see in your travels! After over 20 years of going to the Biltmore Estate, we always made time to stop at the Huddle House on US26 (Hendersonville Road) outside the entrance to the Biltmore! Great omlet, and real North Carolina people will serve you!
We have stayed at Mama Gerties several times. Our favorite sites are on the upper tier in front of the new community deck. We saw a Mama Bear and her Cubs in front of the community deck during our last visit. Black Mountain is a must visit. Discovered several delicious places to eat there on the side streets. The narrow road off the interstate was more scary than the road in the campground to us. Thanks for bringing back the memories!
We live in WNC and the curvy mountain roads are one reason we're getting a smaller rig. Also recommend getting a lawn service. Ours comes every two weeks and it's just so great to not have to worry about the lawn regardless of our travel schedule. Always enjoy your videos!
Great video guys. That is an awesome area. A lot of history and beautiful scenery. Thank yall for all the effort that ya'll put into these videos. And thanks a bunch for sharing your time and your lives with us. God bless and ya'll stay safe on your travels.
The trolley was interesting and an easy way to see some nice places. The camp site was wonderful and such a view. The places that yall went looked like the had so much to offer.
Doing a final walk around the campsite is a good idea. We do that to make sure we didn’t forget anything. Don’t want to leave anything at the campsite. “What kind of weed is that?” It was a big weed. 😂😂😂
I enjoyed the video as always. I found out some stuff i didn't know about Asheville.The weed that was in your yard is Polkweed. When you pull it up, try and get the root, or it will come back
Hey guys thanks for checking our black mountain. I am born and raised there. Big fans of yalls watch every video. I know you guys dont really meet alot of people on these comment sections .totally understand Thanks for visiting Hope you enjoyed Billy P
Tara, there are basically no such things as "weeds", just plants native to the local environment versus those NOT native to the local environment, i.e. those planted by humans. A "weed" is a term usually used to describe any plant that is growing where it is not wanted. Helps to remember (maybe) that "weeds" were growing in their native environments for millions of years before humans moved in and started planting non-native species for reasons of landscaping aesthetics. Please don't get me wrong, I yank "weeds" out of my planted gardens on a regular basis. Great Video, hope to someday check out that RV park!
Hey Chad, I finally got to visit Maggie Valley to go through the Wheels through Time motorcycle museum. Oh man, such a cool place. They actually start their 100yr old motorcycles, some of them 4 cylinders, leaking oil on the floor on purpose. It's so awesome smelling the fumes indoors from such archaic carburetor technology. It's like going to the drags and smelling the nitro during burnouts at the starting line. 💪🚘
We love Mamma Gerties, its one of our favorites! Next time you go to Black Mountain try my cousins restaurant "The Pure and Proper" I think you will like it!
I always have to go by the Biltmore anytime I go to Aville just so beautiful and neat to walk around. Fun fact, the pilot that flew the Memphis Belle grew up in a cottage on the Biltmore Estate.
Love the videos and all of your recommendations and tech tips. We stayed at Tuckaseegee RV Resort in June based on your recommendation and loved it...plan to return next spring year. Wanna try Mama Gerties if I can get a reservation! Have you ever reviewed Campfire Lodgings north of Asheville?
I really like the idea of a hop-on, hop-off sight seeing tour. Sometimes I want to stay a while and sometimes I couldn't care less so the hopping on and off really fits well with my style, and 2 days sounds pretty cool. So Chad, exactly how comfortable is that couch after your comment about the boss. As far as the lawn goes maybe one of your neighbors raises goats or sheep and needs a place to graze them. Just a thought, but be aware of the stuff they will leave behind. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
....during 9 mile, I literally thought "Jamaican me hungry" the same time Chad blurted it out lol, no joke. Glad you guys had a great time....those views are top notch. Forgive me, you look like you're doing better Tara, but I'm not sure what the time frame was when you guys recorded this as I noticed those "attention get'r" lights seem to be missing off the back of the 410. Or did they not work out? Anyways, as always, safe travels to the 3 of ya wherever the road takes ya.
When you turn off the highway Mama Grrties os located off of Patton Road which is a loop/horse shoe road. If tour tow vehicles does better on gradual inclines then you can go up the western portion of Patton road, but once you are in the camp ground all bets are off and it's time to put in low and hill climb. Also other area attractions worth mentioning at Chimney Rock (where the water fall from Last of the Mohicans is located), Burnt Shirt Vinards (for the wine drinkers) and you can send a post card from the post office in Bat Cave NC (because, why not).
Have brake rotor temperature sensors? Or just look for smoke? 😊 Always a good trailer-tow watch, (besides the mesmerizing views); mostly due to where you travel.
I would love to see a podcast of Towable (5thWheel) vs Drivable (C/A class) RVs based on your experience. I am a potential RV buyer who can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks!
Oh my gosh, I would be feeling the same as you Tara coming down from the campsite. My question is what the heck do you do if somebody is coming up, it’s very narrow 😱 Maybe you mentioned in previous videos and I may have missed it, do you have a family member or close to friend to check on your cabin when you guys are away? Great video as always! Cheers from BC 🇨🇦
I don't think we've ever mentioned it, but generally, the large RV has right of way, and check-out times make sure RVs aren't arriving and departing at the same time. Good question!
What time of year were y’all at Mama Girtie’s? I’m about to make reservations for the end of August and I’m just wondering about if it’s really hot on that upper tier without any real shade.
Not yet. We're anxious to get a Volta Power System video out! We're still working out a few bugs with them on our prototype, then we'll definitely be producing a video! 😊 ⚡️
Sorry, this question may have been asked a few dozen times, but what do you give Daisy for motion sickness while traveling? We have a MalShih puppy that is not adapting to traveling yet. Thank you
Just get rid of the grass. Plant wildflowers, raspberry bushes, apple trees, perennials, anything but grass…unless you’re planning on getting sheep. We’re in WNC and are gone for 8 weeks in the summer. We speak from experience. Better for the environment and better for you as well.
@@ChangingLanes Thank you! I'm getting ready to head down to St. Petersburg Florida next weekend and maybe if you go down to the 2024 Tampa for the RV show we can meet ✌️
That's what I read too. But that isn't the only group running the city. I don't plan any trips to Asheville again. It's all in their news for all to see.
Come visit the area, enjoy, spend lots of tourist dollars, but do not move here, please!! We're saturated with folks who have moved here and now want to makeover the area into where they came from. Ostentatious houses, lots of honking horns, and impatient folks. The homeless problem is out of control and violence increasing. So enjoy and go home.
Tara is bad as I am when it comes to towing on these mountain roads. 😬 🫣 Have y’all tried Black Rock State Park in Mountain City, Ga? Crazy road, but views are awesome.
I can’t explain why I love it so much, but thank you for showing the signs on the highway.
That precious little girl dog! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for showing how much effort you put into pulling out. Check, double check. I'm traveling FT solo and make several walk around checks. I'm sure people around me think I'm over checking but I don't want any "dumb" mistakes.
I've lived in North Carolina all of my 60 years. You guys keep showing me places I have missed! Thank you so much for the tours. My list keeps growing
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Omg love nine mile. Awesome place and right in the neighborhood

Thanks again for allowing us to tag a long. As always, enjoyed the video, your activities and the food looked good too. There is No place like home...
A very fun trolley to take!
Daisy is always so excited when you come home she looks like she's about to explode!

I love it there...my sister lives in Black Mountain...On top of a mountain and it is absolutely beautiful!!...also visited Biltmore estate...
That's awesome. We just bought land in Swannanoa right off Patton Cove. Love the video!

Love the hop on, hop off. We try to do that every new destination and then note places we want to go back to and spend more time there.

My definition of a weed is any plant that sprouts up fast, and multiplies like a rabbit. Lol 🍻
Great video! Beautiful views there, it would be so hard to leave that, but you have your own little sanctuary at home. Thanks for sharing. ♥

I lived in Franklin n.c. for about 7 years. Ashville was about a hour away but was so worth the drive
Ashville is on my travel bucket list. It's only 2,700 miles away so... Thanks for showing me where to stay!
Welcome to NC. I’ll be in Pigeon Forge this weekend
We love Mamma Gerties, its one of our favorites! Next time you go to Black Mountain try my cousins restaurant "The Pure and Proper" I think you will like it!
Thanks! We will! 😊
OK, you guys deserve a riding ZTR for that jungle! 😅
Love that area we go up every chance we get. We live in Greenville SC not far away.
Super thankyou
One word of advice for the grass, GOATS. 😁😁
I always have to go by the Biltmore anytime I go to Aville just so beautiful and neat to walk around. Fun fact, the pilot that flew the Memphis Belle grew up in a cottage on the Biltmore Estate.
Biltmore house and gardens is a definite stop in Asheville, North Carolina. You won’t regret it.
OMG, you need a riding lawn mower 😂 i think that is a tree, not a weed, but then again, weeds may be different out there 😊
Chad is lucky he has that dog bed to rest his right arm on while driving, and has that dip in the dash where they can put the Garmin
If you visit Black Mountain again, don't miss Cuban Cousins restaurant. Amazing!!
Dynamite Coffee has the best coffee I’ve ever had

Hello guys from Blue Ridge Ga.... Would love to have y'all visit sometime.
What time of year were y’all at Mama Girtie’s? I’m about to make reservations for the end of August and I’m just wondering about if it’s really hot on that upper tier without any real shade.
I saw you mention your Volta system and the connection in the bed of your truck. Have you done a video on it?
Not yet. We're anxious to get a Volta Power System video out! We're still working out a few bugs with them on our prototype, then we'll definitely be producing a video! 😊 ⚡️
@@ChangingLanes did you update your alternator to a high output? I am looking forward to a deep dive
Can I ask, when you stayed at the camp grd I’m black mountain, we’re you able to walk to the town?
Tara you need a lawn mower that you can sit on and drive.
You def need a riding mower at your cabin…!!!!
For sure!
you need a riding mower!!😅
Sorry, this question may have been asked a few dozen times, but what do you give Daisy for motion sickness while traveling? We have a MalShih puppy that is not adapting to traveling yet. Thank you
Luckily, she's never had any issues. Just gets stressed until we get on the road, then she sleeps. Good luck.. We hope you find a solution!
when is the volta system video coming out?
Oh man.. I wish it was soon, but it's been slow working out some bugs in this prototype. I hope we can film something soon and get it out!
@ChangingLanes I have my 410 already so it wasn't even an option. Just anxious to see it...
Where did you get the mountain dude shirt I need one
I found that in Ouray, CO and have looked for it online but never found one...
