    Great tour video! You know why I loved it so much? NO MUSIC! When there is no narration, I want to hear the sounds of nature: the birds, insects, or any other wildlife. So thank you thank you thank you for not having any music in your video (until the end). It really helps me know just how quiet a place is!

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  3 роки тому +1

      Well I'm glad you enjoyed the video! About 95% of our videos have no music in them unless it calls for it. I really like the sounds of nature and capturing what we're experiencing out there and taking the viewer along with us. Thanks for watching 🙂

  • @mikemanjo2458
    @mikemanjo2458 3 роки тому +1

    Talking about the headphones...was there a guided walk tour? The reason there is so much kudzu in the South is b/c of our mild winters. Where it was brought from in Japan had really cold winters, so they didn't know until it was brought here, that it would be invasive as it is. They thought it was an annual that could be used for ground cover. They didn't know it could grow up to 2 feet a day and would go nuts in the South! This proves one of two things: always do your research or leave plants where they live originally. Love you guys, safe travels. Your friend in SC, Jane ❤️🙏

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  3 роки тому

      I'm not sure if they do a guided Trail walk 🤔
      It seems like almost every plant they bring over here turns into an invasive species. You're right it's best just to leave them where they're at.

Hopefully it brings them some calm, but always seems less safe to me and I wouldn't want to miss out on the sounds of nature! We don't have any kudzu in the Pacific Northwest (at least in WA) that I know of, but we have a ton of invasive blackberries and English ivy that try to take over everything.
