    I grew up around the Red River Gorge Rock climbing on the week ends camping wasn't much people back then your were riding on the Mt Parkway right where me and a friend got caught in a terrible thunderstorm at night I kept rain suits in an army bag and someone took them out and replaced them with old rags we got soaked. Oh the tunnel is pronounced Nay Duh but don't feel bad MotorcycleDen was saying it funny too. Anyway great video thanks for showing maybe will see ya on the road this summer me and the wife might start moto vloging.

    Was just down there for the HOG rally
    When we got to the NADA tunnel we had to pass thru a waterfall. It had been raining off and on all week.
    A few miles past the tunnel the road was closed. Had to turn around and back thru the tunnel
    We (9 bikes) were more than half way through when some idiot didn't want to wait his turn and started heading right toward us. We just stopped and waited for him to back his big white van back out. He also almost ended up off the road in the ditch.

    • @BoDean52
