    Back in the day, I was a chaperone for a Biltmore visit for one of my children's school trips who are now grown and I was always given the additional bad kids to watch. I really didn't get to concentrate on the history of this beautiful home when I was there because I had.... well.... the bad kids i had to always chase down, so I missed the real tour. Thank you for this documentary. My husband and I will have go back to the Biltmore and take time to really explore it's history and beauty. Love your channel, good job

    I was fortunate to tour this gorgeous estate in the very late 90's. Was there almost an entire day, but still didn't see everything. This wonderful video awakened long forgotten memories and I learned (or remembered, who knows at age 76!) more about the history. You have such a talent i hope you make $$$ from. I watch everything anyway.....just to see and hear you. You are the inside voice of this sweet southern little old lady!

    Another great video. So, I just bought a big truck and 23 ft fifth wheel (used) from an elderly fellow. I thought, if you are rocking it, then why the hell not. Never driven one but I’ll figure it out probably with the help of UA-cam. I have 2 years or so left at my law enforcement job in Canada
    and then the other half ((already retired spouse) and I can get to travel other than weekends and holidays. Anyways, love your videos and I can relate to your sense of humour and wit.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you Casey! What a glorious video of a bygone era. I nearly choked with laughter and fell off the bed when you said,"Bob made the Smokey Mountains his bitch". One always has a love affair with a Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo diesel. I see a long and happy life for you and Bob. I imagine that my late husband's 1999 Ram 2500 is still roaming the Texas Hill Country somewhere. ( After Gary's death in 2006 I donated it to our volunteer fire department, which later sold it as they needed the cash more than another truck.) Please keep up the good work. I hope to see more Baby Moos and goats in videos to come. If you ever come to Kerrville, TX you are welcome to come by.

    My Grandfather was born in 1881 near the Biltmore House.. He worked there as a young man. He worked with horses and carriage bringing folks to and from the train station. My family owned land which tbey sold to the Vanderbilts and is part of the estate. I have been there to visit the old family cemetary on tbe property near the shooting club house, which was also owned by my family. Im generationally far separated from any money acquired during any sale of land.

    @calvinh.8882 4 роки тому

    Yeah, the 2500 and 3500 Cummins RAM are kinda the same. If you wanted/needed a truck that can handle a lot heavier load, As in weight pushing down on the back of your truck so it doesn't squat, then a 3500, 4500, or even the 5500 may be needed. But they all have the same engine, the only difference is the suspension and axles are heavier duty to handle the heavier weight. For your RV your truck is perfect and has a much better ride than those other heavy haulers. lol. I know your truck is the bomb because I have one just like it, white and all. lol.
