    One of the main reasons I re-subscribed to your channel(s) a couple of years ago was that of all the "travel" and "exploration" channels I was subscribed to at one time, I came to realize you were the ONLY one who managed to stay grounded while providing snap shots, if you will, of our beautiful nation that all to often go unseen and unappreciated by many, if not most, Americans. I hope you will continue to provide the entertaining, and very often, educational videos that you are famous for. I make it a point to check your channel first thing in the morning.....You make a old man smile, laugh out loud, and often times, show and/or teach him something new every now and again. Keep up the great work and safe travels!!!

      cnrmoose, I so agree. I live in the southeast area of WV which borders the southwest area of Virginia. The mountain area is so majestic and so under rated. It thrills me how much Adam is enjoying our area.

    The Natural Bridge State Park is a really beautiful place. If you are anywhere near Schuyler, Virginia you might want to stop and see the real Walton's Mountain there. Schuyler is a small community at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is the boyhood home of the show's creator, Earl Hamner.

    The State of Virginia now manages Natural Bridge, which is why it dropped in admission price. My family visited in October shortly after the official change in ownership. The previous owner wanted to sell the surrounding area for development :( . Thankfully the state acquired it. The hotel is also very nice; it is privately owned. Planning to go back this summer!

    Foamhenge has been moved further north in Virginia. I need to find it. It makes me sad that they made Mark move it. Next time you come through this area, you need to seek out Windrock. It's an amazing site to see.

    You're fairly close to my hometown of Danville, VA. That's another small, fading town with a ton of history. From the abandoned facilities of the Dan River Mills, to the site of the horrific train crash of the Old 97', and even the last capitol of the Confederacy (the actual building) is still standing there. You should take a visit, I think you would love it.

    Okay,so there was this Indian Brave who became very,very nervous.He decided to visit the medicine man. When he arrived,he began shouting " I'm a Wigwam,I'm a Teepee! I'm a Wigwam,I'm a Teepee!". The medicine man puts a hand on his shoulder,and says,"Hey relax,you're two tents!".

    Adam, thank you for showing us the beauty of Natural Bridge State Park. We were going to go there some time ago but, seeing the high cost to get in, we thought it was rather expensive for a family. I am so glad that the state of Virginia took it over as a state park. I know there was a lot of controversy since the owner was trying to sell it. A private entity bought it. Virginia took over management just last year on September 24, 2016. The state will own the park once the debt is paid off. Nice to see that the admission cost has been lowered considerably. The hotel is not part of the park.

    Hey! You're in VA! We live near Richmond but happened to visit Natural Bridge last fall on the day it was taken over as a Virginia State Park from its former ownership by the National Park Service.
    Video could never do justice to the massiveness of experiencing the bridge in person. It's a gorgeous hiking trail as well. So glad you were able to enjoy it.
    When we were visiting we heard noises in the cave. At first we thought it was an animal...then we realized the noise was a bunch of kids who had jumped the barrier.
    Come visit Richmond. We have tons of amazing history here...

      I've been there before. I also lost a friend there at the same exact place another person died. so needless to say be careful. he slipped and fell off a cliff and was too late by the time everyone ran to camp to get ropes.

Also thanks for the updates on old St. Cloud, I lived there for most of my childhood and moved up to West Virginia in '94. Stay safe during your travels and hope to see you around.

    FYI: Foamhenge has been relocated to Centreville, Virginia in 2017. The Natural Bridge became a state park in 2016, forcing Foamhenge to close. The structure was dismantled on August 30, 2016 and placed in storage at Cline's studio. After receiving over fifty inquiries from across the United States, an agreement was made to relocate Foamhenge to Cox Farms, a popular, 116-acre family farm, near Centreville, VA, a suburb of Washington, D.C. The pieces are planned to be refurbished, repaired or replaced before re-installation. Foamhenge is scheduled to debut at Cox Farms in 2017, by the start of the farm's 'Fall Festival' in September.

    The last time that you were at Natural Bridge it was a privately owned business, as it has always been. But the last owner had gotten into financial trouble and agreed to sell the property to the state for a state park, which is why the price of admission is now more affordable.

    It's great to see someone such as yourself come to Roanoke and the surrounding area. I was born and raised in Roanoke...well I was born in Roanoke but I was actually raised in Salem which is in Roanoke County. There is a lot of stuff to do in and around this area during the summer if you can stand the heat to do so. I tend to hibernate during the summer in my air conditioned apartment and then come out during the fall, winter and spring. =)

    Dang you were right in my home town Roanoke Va. I was on vacation that week and camping near Lexington. I passed right by Natural Bridge not once but twice that day. Bummer I would have stopped and said hi.
    Foamhinge was moved last year. Will have to look up where. Another sate I'm fairly sure. Natural Bridge just became a state park recently. Another thing that was lost nearly three years ago was the wax museum. I got video of my last visit.
