Thanks Kelly & Brian for getting me off my ass and out in nature, just remember I am not a kid anymore. I love the fact that you guys get out and explore and not just drive although I like the drive also. Thanks again and stay safe! Bob your friend in Pennsylvania.🙏🏻🇺🇸😘
We live in Tennessee and have not done this hike yet. We did do the Honey Creek Loop trail at BSF a couple of years ago. It was amazing! We need to get back and explore more 😃 Thanks for taking us along.
Hi and thanks for showing the area , / the TVA ( Tenn Valley Authority ) has Dams - Lakes and some very good trout fishing in the streams & rivers below the Dams and good Bass in the Lakes. There are many places to camp all through the state
Hi Brian and Kelly, have been watching your travels unfold over these last months and wanted to take a moment to make an observation. The journey you are on is so purposeful and satisfying. I wish more of us would focus on the tranquility and beauty that surrounds us and find that quiet place within. I hope the days ahead are good to you and keep you well. Peace
The beautiful feel and sound of that warm crackling fire was so comforting as I look at the blustering frigid blizzard happening outside my New York City window 🌬❄️😱. LOL!
In a nut shell, whats your typical winter like there? Im a short morning drive from lk Superior, beautiful wilderness like this, but "real" up-north winters are getting old. After the Halloween snow it warmed up. Still, it will prob be -20 to -30, always happens here after new year(at least im not further in -40 territory lol). I know Memphis, that far south is not for me. Not a city boy . Is this cooler in the summer than Memphis (from elevation)? Picky aren't I ?,,ha ha..
We have mild winters, It gets cold and we will have a few snowfalls usually just a few inches at a time. In the 20 years I lived here we seen a six inch snowfall once. Had one heck of a ice storm a few years back.
Hi Brian, Merry Christmas to you and Kelly and all our nomad friends, including the friends we haven't met yet !! Safe travels, looking forward to catching up with y'all sometime this winter !!
Yeah it cool that COVID can’t take away our love of nature and how it nurtures our souls. It’s a spiritual and universe thing I believe. Awesome video Brian you guys help me stay sane. ☮️❤️😎
Enjoy watching your adventures. 2020 proved to be a challenging year for everyone! I appreciate that you still continue to share adventures without complaining about covid-19. Traveling may not be as it once was..just continue to find new quite locations to share. Be safe 😷
Well put Patsy. Brian and Kelly, and only a few other channels that I watch have continued to travel and share great adventures with positive attitudes despite the hurdles. On the other hand, many other nomads sit around and complain they can't really do anything due to the pandemic. They've been using it as an excuse to create drama, be lazy, and e-beg.
@@RicG. oh you probably meant as a couple you watch Brian and Kelly. Yes..some couples I don't watch..since I travel solo that is what I prefer to watch. Kelly adds to video without a distraction. She has an incredible smile.
The room under the bridge is access to grease the bearings. It would be a noisy damp home. I really enjoyed the hike, thank you for taking us along. Safe travels.
@@AdventureVanMan, I caught the joke, and enjoyed those comments. As a nerd, and having spent a career in heavy construction management and inspection I just put that out there for those who might want to know. 😷😊
I'm not a hiker I sure enjoy your hikes and through your len, be able to see and enjoy the sites I wouldn't be able to see. Thanks for your journeys. Always look forward to the next one. Stay safe
Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. My daughter and her family live in Eastern TN about 15 minutes from the Cherokee National Forest, Ocoee River & Hiwassee River. Tennessee is full of beautiful places to explore that are remote and well preserved. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip while here in the South.
With the rhododendron having the longer leaf, and preferring the wetter areas near streams, if I recall. A few videos back AVM and Kelly were looking at the giant leaves of a wild magnolia, dropped leaves not live ones.
Hi Brian. Be careful! Breathing hard. Don't fall. So glad you have girl friend with you. You know what God said. It's not good to be man to be alone. Thank you so much for sharing:)❤🦋
That was great.....Thanks for posting. Sitting here in Up-State NY waiting on a BIG snow storm to blow in with 18"-14" to dig out of. All set and hunkered down. Merry Christmas.
Wow that was exciting to watch. Loved seeing the river from the top. Drove over that river a long time age but my x husband wasn't into hiking and I wanted to stop every where. No such luck. Gee there were a lot of different mushrooms to see. Happy to see you and Kelly having a great day. Thanks and see you in the next one. Safe travels.
I’ve followed along on several dozen of your hikes, Brian, and I’m thinking that one was among the top 3, for sure. Always appreciate your sharing! It means all the more when I currently can’t get out there...but soon! Bless you two, carry on, and Peace✌🏼. -Dale/MN
I always feel at peace after watching your videos thank you
Thanks Kelly & Brian for getting me off my ass and out in nature, just remember I am not a kid anymore. I love the fact that you guys get out and explore and not just drive although I like the drive also. Thanks again and stay safe! Bob your friend in Pennsylvania.🙏🏻🇺🇸😘
The crackling of that fire! You could put it a repetitive loop and I could listen to it all morning. Awesome vid as always! 🌞
A hike is always better when shared. Another great video. 👍👍✌
Absolutely beautiful.
One can only imagine how the Pioneers, and Indians felt, seeing this beautiful country.
Great video. One of your better videos. Thank you kindly appreciate it.👍🇺🇸😊
Oh my goodness. Thank you again. I love the colors of the landscape. So much texture......beautiful

Looks like I missed another video but better late than never. Thanks for the video
Cool hike!! Thanks for taking us along!
Like your early morning videos to get the day started. Happy holidays Brian and Kelly.
I think the shrubs with the long leaves are Rhododendron. Beautiful scenery,thanks for sharing. :-)
Mountain Laurels
I see both types of greenery. Mountain Laurels have the shorter leaves.
Both of you all are right, Laurals have smaller leaves.
Oh my oh my! I got dizzy just watching this!! Beautiful.
Beautiful hike. Love the icycles. Amazing rocks! And a fire at the end of another great day. 👍😉🇨🇦🔥💜🎄🎁🍭🎅
Thanks again for sharing!

I was raised not far from there ,but never got to see it and all it’s beauty .Thanks for sharing.
Hairy log crossing. Great hike. Thanks for taking us.

@@RicG. you got my point Ric. Bex is the other consistent good videos. Are you referring to Kelly Doyle?
@@patsykluting-lucas3804 No - don't watch Kelly or Bex.

Van man finds his van girl, I believe this is the happiest I’ve seen brian , keep vanning y’all
The happier he is more videos he pumps out, thanks Kelly
Nature is so perfect! And you are part of nature!
Wow wow wow what a view! Thanks for sharing with us!
Wow! Amazing hike today. Thanks for taking us along.
The room under the bridge is access to grease the bearings. It would be a noisy damp home. I really enjoyed the hike, thank you for taking us along. Safe travels.
Lol, thanks! It was a joke about trolls. 🤣✌🏼

That was a good hike with a great cookout at the end. Nice.
Excellent adventure mr brians n mizz Kelly's ....😍😎😁pip pips and carryon pilgrims
Beautiful views on that hike. Peeping over that edge had me sliding back in my chair! Safe travels!!!
There's a special kind of beauty when the sun filters through an Eastern woods. And the rocks! Wow.
Yaaaa i love it when people make there way to Tennessee. So proud to call townsend my home (entrance into smokies)
Wow one of your best ones yet! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.
Wow! Well worth the climb. Thanks for sharing!
That was a nice video. Enjoyed how captured the hike. Awesome view from the top of the rock.
I love that park !!!!
I'm not a hiker

Great adventure trails and great dinners! It's would be nice with a bottle of wine! Cheers bro! Enjoy your dinner with Kelly! Stay safe!
I enjoy watching you guys adventures- thanks for sharing! God Bless n Merry Christmas to you both.
Once again a beautiful video. Thanks Guys, travel safe.
Just an FYI, those are rhododendron and mountain laurel instead of magnolia.
Thanks..I knew magnolia wasn't correct..rhododendron or laurel sounds right.
With the rhododendron having the longer leaf, and preferring the wetter areas near streams, if I recall. A few videos back AVM and Kelly were looking at the giant leaves of a wild magnolia, dropped leaves not live ones.
We have tunnels made out of Rhododendron's in North Carolina (Boone Fork Trail). They have large white blooms that add a lot to your hike.
👋 HOLA MIJITO E MIJITA
60 AND THAT WAS THE BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER GRACIAS 💞
SAFE TRAVEL'S,ONWARD BOUND ✌
Thanks Brian! Great video! You take me places I can no longer go to. Have a great week!
Hey Brian & Kelly.. amazing hike. So beautiful out there..that ledge was so cool too ! All that and a delicious dinner 👍😁
Hi Brian. Be careful! Breathing hard. Don't fall. So glad you have girl friend with you. You know what God said. It's not good to be man to be alone. Thank you so much for sharing:)❤🦋
Y'all are a beautiful couple I'm so happy y'all share the adventure, crazy hike I'd be wore out like no other after that.
That was enjoyable.
That is what it is all about... Off season on days with great weather is epic. Another nice video. Missed the typical intro to the video. Thank you.
Nice hiking trail. What a view. The burger at the end of the trail looked delicious!
Those mushrooms at the end of the log crossing were oyster mushrooms - very edible! What a beautiful day on the trail...thanks for sharing!!
You really beat the heat & the bugs hiking in that weather. Great to see you enjoying some colder weather. Burgers looked mighty fine.👍🚐
AWESOME HIKE AWESOME VIEW! THANKS Brian!
That was great.....Thanks for posting. Sitting here in Up-State NY waiting on a BIG snow storm to blow in with 18"-14" to dig out of. All set and hunkered down. Merry Christmas.
Great day for ya 👍
Sweet! Looks like a perfect day🙂 Thanks, both of you, for sharing your Adventure du jour! ☮❤🕉
What a great "travel channel", cool hike. Over the log with out a stick while video-ing your feet. Time to join the circus!
More great stuff !!🤓
Enjoyed the walk. WTG.
Great hike, beautiful day!
That fire was soothing
Looks just like PA... lots of MT Laurel... thanks for the Ride Brian!
I do believe the "magnolias" are actually rhododendron. Beautiful hike!
Troll house😀 Wow what a view, your videos make me wish I was 30 years younger, I only scratched the surface of things to see out there.😥
That was a spectacular walk. I appreciate you sharing it.
Lovely quiet adventure on a sunny day. Thanks, Brian! And Merry Christmas to you and Kelly!
Another great adventure! Thanks.
Thanks for taking us along, just beautiful ✌
Beautiful and the dinner looked like perfection thank you for sharing
