Thanks for your videos. My wife and I enjoy the same kind of trails that you routinely review. It has really helped us planning the more distant trips, like Virginia Creeper, etc. Your content is terrific but your varied taste in music is the cherry on top 🍒. We’re RVers, dog lovers, and e-bike enthusiasts. That combination will allow us to do more of it in the near future. Thanks again. By the way, keep the personality coming. We are SO much alike, it’s scary. Take care, Randy

Not so sure she was a true Karen. Sounds like a very concerned & protective foster parent. It’s unfortunate that they are so needed in the world today - but the good ones should not be vilified, they should be supported. I’m glad this all worked out in the end & I do not want to sound like I don’t approve of your actions, just the use of “Karen”

Thanks for sharing the video. I’ve never ridden that one. Yard art was unique. Hope to go there soon. Maybe even ride the train one day. Keep filming, hope you reach a million plus subscribers one day. Wish your Dad would get himself a trike and ride the bike trails with you. Y’all make a great team.

Happy Birthday to your Dad! Such a great video! We lived near the Delano area for about a year and attended church at Crossroads Baptist Church in Delano. It is beautiful but quite desolate there for sure. We now live in Chattanooga about an hour away. All your episodes are great but it was especially fun watching an episode that was filmed close to our home. Happy July 4th to you both🇺🇸

Thanks for another great vid! I have been saying Hiwassee wrong for about 30 plus years. Maybe it's a southern thing but I've always said and heard it pronounced HiAH-WASSEE 😂 I'm 64 years old and the changes of the past 4 years personally and in society are making me so nostalgic and craving the simple things and pleasures in life. Your channel helps me fill that void. Keep it up!!

Well, there is also a city named HIAWASSEE, Georgia that we passed thru on our drive. So maybe that's what you were referring to! Thanks for the kind words about the channel. I appreciate it. :)

❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤ What a creep! That's a horrible situation! I feel so sorry for you! Funny too though! 👀🫣 I'm also an introvert. I don't like asking ppl questions either. I feel ppl will share what they feel comfortable with. I also don't want to hurt other ppls feelings or make others feel awkward, so I know exactly how you're feeling! I would also be trying to just be neutral, but screaming inside and just want to run away! Gosh, I would love to meet you on a bike ride! You could be my bike buddy! 😇🫣💐

How did you get those shots from the top of the train car?
@joyfultrails5 күн бұрын
Not many people know this, but I am an action and adventure movie star. So I opened the window and climbed out on top of the train like Indiana Jones. 😂 Ha ha… No, there were windows, since we were in what they called the globe car, there were windows that I could shoot through, that overlooked the train. I wish they would clean the windows better. They were pretty dirty!

With all the talk about certain politician's age issue, i keep saying it is not the age, it is the mental and physical condition and your pop is a perfect example of being an active/health person into your late 80's and even 90's, living a great life.

This trail looks amazing. We love history too and hoping to get out to this trail in the next couple weeks and check it out. Thanks for the great overview. Will be looking at your other videos for fun other rides to do as well while we are in the South. Also, thanks for keeping us laughing. The humor was spot on. The crime victim statue is questionable lol.

I don't usually comment; but here goes: rode this trail in 2014. I was 64 yrs old. I've ridden RAGBRAI and many week long tours and rails-to-trails. So I was in great shape. I had an RV and would travel to trails and ride. This one was and is one of my favorites. There is an RV park past White Top at the border. The trail further degrades and is over grown past the border. Drove there, then rode down to Damascus and back. On the way back, I didn't take enough water. I saw a couple outside their house and asked them for water. They were more than nice. Then found an RV park in Damascus, and rode to Abington and back. One of the trestle bridges was not yet complete so it was get off and walk. Some of the places pointed out did not exist. It was in June and the Appalachian trail festival was happening in Damascus.The place was packed. Found my way to a bar and to my surprise the Tour de France was on the TV. I was in Heaven. Your videos are perfect; photography excellent; music tasteful. Being on radio has been a plus when listening to you. Thank you, keep up the good work. BTW ALWAYS wear your helmet. After a while you won't feel right without it.
