My Wife and I ride a tandem bicycle and we really enjoy your videos. I personally really liked this one because when I was 7 years old, my Mom and Dad would go on vacation to visit relatives, and we always stopped here. I have tried to find this place for years now, and Thanks to you I know where it is. By the way I am 73 years old.
As a young girl we visited this many times. I live in North Ga so it was an easy trip. It became quite the pilgrimage, but I haven't been there since I was young. I'm in my early 60's now. Love your videos. Really enjoyed the music! Thanks!
Each video is better than the previous. Excellent content and outstanding humor. More importantly, thanks for not being afraid to mention the name of Jesus our Savior.
This was a beautiful video with a beautiful message. I sensed that your singing was spontaneous and was certainly heartfelt . I was touched. Thanks for the humor as well. You're a funny guy, you know!
Murphy, NC seems like a Very Cool Place to Visit.. Every Bike Ride is Like a Mini Vacation :) The video of you cycling the Cross with Flags is Awesome.. Merry Christmas Scott.. 🎄
Excellente'! I vacation about a half hour from Murphy every year and have been since 2001, yet I had never heard of Fields of the Wood! I know where I'll be going next summer - and riding the trail. I had planned on doing the trail last summer, but didn't get a round tuit. Maybe this year, I'll have one. Thanks again for another great video, Scott.
Thank you for sharing this Scott. We didn’t get to ride the tweetsie trail due to rain and cold but maybe we can visit Field of the Wood on our way home. My Momma would love this. I do love river trails. It is a certain kind of relaxation for me.
What a beautiful trail! I am so glad that it wasn't completely destroyed by the storms..... And the Fields of the Woods is another on our destination list. I saw the Ten Commandments on the post you made a few weeks ago, and I have been waiting for the video to be ready for our viewing ever since. Another great video! Thank you, Scott!
@@SugarPatchMaker It's on my list! But I think large sections are currently closed due to construction and/or storm damage. But I will get to it eventually.
Impressive !!! Ten Commandments mountain. Beautiful place !! Hopping some day have opportunities to see it all. Thanks again for the opportunity to see this beauty, go through your joyful trail lens.🙏
Hi Scott, Thanks for the review of the trail and Fields of the Wood. It reminded me that I have a cedar box I bought there over 50 years ago. The sticker on the bottom says I paid $3.75.
Love this video! You did an amazing job as always. My parents took me to fields of the woods when I was a child and loved it. We revisited it a couple of years ago and was so glad it is still open to the public. We didn’t realize there was a bike trail nearby until your video. We are excited to add this one to our bucket list and end the day with Nicks BBQ. Thank you so much for sharing!
Great video! Your editing is wonderful and video work is pleasing. I want now to visit and experience this Murphy that you have presented. Keep up the good work, my brother in Christ.
Yeah buddy!! Beautiful trail! Well done Scott. I must have missed it but how long is the trail? Any way, great trail capped off with good barbecue! But as you stood at the bottom of "Fields of the Wood" I was praying, "Lord, Send him up that mountain!" Scott, I was your biggest cheerleader every step you took to reach the top. Thank you for your inspiring content in cycling for us older folk and thank you for not being afraid to share the faith. Both are good and wholesome. Be Blessed!
Another great video! Beautiful Riverwalk. Have you ever ridden the New River Trail north of Hillsville, VA. It runs from Pulaski, VA to Fries, VA? It's a rail trail. 57 miles long but can be ridden in shorter segments.
I've had my eye on that one for a good while, but I haven't had enough time to set aside for it... And now I understand that it was substantially damaged by Hurricane Helene. 😕 But I will get to it before too long. Thanks for the reminder!
Another great video, and your voice on Amazing Grace was wonderful. Thank you. Now, a question I assume you have been asked many times, have you ridden the Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga Trails? A friend and fellow subscriber to your channel tells me you did a video about the Silver Comet early on, but I do not find it in your videos list. I notice your videos are generally on shorter trails, so I would recommend a snippet of the Silver Comet, starting from Powder Springs or Hiram going west to Rockmart which has a mixture of suburban and rural beauty. Highlights would be the Pumpkinvine Trestle, and the Brushy Mountain Tunnel. The Silver Comet makes the list of top ten rail trails in the country, and in my experience the top 3.
That wasn't me singing, but thanks! Yes, the Comet & Ladiga have been on my radar for a long time...but I kind of wanted to set aside several days to do it ALL...and so far I just haven't been able to fit it into my schedule. But I will!
Sigh. Another place i need to add to the Blue Ridge Explorer list! In an awkward dpot for me because id have to go 26 to 74 but definitely seems like a cool place to visit and a gorgeous river walk!
@@joyfultrailsit is! There is a “faked” photo that makes the rounds showing the cross having fallen into and smashing the store! 😅. When it starts to warm up again…the wife and I will Probably be back on the Granite City Greenway or the New River trail frequently. I mentioned them to you a while back. Maybe we will see you on the trails!
😂🤣😂 Well, the "revelation" was kind of a joke. I joke that I conceived in my head while I was still down on the ground. That whole 360-step climb up the hill was an elaborate set-up to a punch line. That's how committed I was to the bit. 😆 But Big Nick's was after. And if I keep eating at places like Big Nick's they may start calling me Big Scott. 😜

@@joyfultrails I like the ring of " Big Scotty" better. LOL. No judgement here. I"m no rail myself. No pun intended. Being cheezy doesn't help the problem either. LOL . I actually use my bike trips as my cheat days. I try not to eat out any more than I have to during the work week, that way when I'm out riding I can make the trip more joyful without feeling guilty. Nice video. That commitment is what keeps me coming back. LOL
@@cheezy-rider Yeah, I've got to do something. I used to be able to eat pretty much whatever I wanted and not really think much about it. Those days appear to be over! 😆
I hate to break it to you, but the leech story was made into a movie. It is best viewed through the lens of Mystery Science Theater 3000-if you for some weird reason don’t know what that is you, sir, have lost my respect. The Giant Leeches is a must watch. Let the goofiness ensue 😊😂😂😂
Well...I guess maybe some people don't pedal if they have the throttle type. But I would just like to have a little boost going up hills. The truth is...I don't ride often enough for it to be any kind of a meaningful exercise program. I think my main problem is what I eat. January's comin'... Time to make some changes!
@@joyfultrails How can you resist those delicious meals at places where you may never get the chance to visit again? Besides, a good ride will burn most of thos calories.
That's a really well-made video. I need a drone. Uh-oh... I just broke one of the commandments...I mean, one of the ten sayings...I mean, one of the ten words... I'm COVETING his drone!
Really special 😇Thanks for sharing ❤

Wow! Thank you for sharing that with me. That is awesome!
Another great video. I bet your Dad loved watching it.
“God’s creation!” Love it brother! We’ve going to Dillsboro and Cherokee from Harrisburg, but I believe we’ll press onto Murphy. Thanks to your video!
Awesome. It's a cool little town and the River Walk is nice and peaceful.

Wonderful video and your voice is beautiful, thank you for sharing it.

@@joyfultrails 😄
Cool excursion after a nice trail. That’s the stuff, right there.
Thanks!
Been following you for a while and you just get better. We are inspired to visit the "Field of the Woods" and climb the mountain too.
Awesome...thanks!
What a joyful trail thanks for sharing
You're welcome!

You need to check it out. Off the beaten path...and kind of an off-beat attraction! The trail is nice and peaceful.
Good Morning. the only thing I can say is Thank You.

Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I think Murphy was sort of on the outskirts of the storm-affected area.
@@joyfultrails I saw a few pictures of a trail called New River Trail in Puluski, Virginia. Have you ever been there?
@@SugarPatchMaker It's on my list! But I think large sections are currently closed due to construction and/or storm damage. But I will get to it eventually.
Back ground music really fits this video .
@@stephenwhite546 Thanks. I spent a good amount of time looking for the right music/songs. It’s gratifying for you to notice and comment on that.
Impressive !!!
Ten Commandments mountain.

Hey! It's Sunday evening and our friend Scott is back with another interesting trail video Excellent way to bring the weekend to a happy conclusion.
Glad you enjoyed it, sir!
