It's rare that you drive thru Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains and not see wildlife. On this trip around the loop we saw 2 bears (I only filmed one), 2 deer, and many turkey. If you've never been to Cades Cove but plan to, the best advice I can give is to keep moving. If you must stop for a picture, please make it quick if there are other vehicles behind you. We have vacationed in the Smoky Mountains close to 10 times and we drive thru Cades Cove every time.

When in the Smokies a lot of folks want to hike a trail to see a waterfall. The Meigs Creek Cascade waterfall is a relatively easy hike with a total elevation gain of 738 feet and a total of 3.5 miles out and back. It's not the most spectacular waterfall you can visit in the Smoky Mountains, but it's definitely worth the short hike. The hardest part of the hike is the multiple water crossings, but they really aren't difficult to navigate. There are stepping stones across the creek and the water is very shallow. The trailhead for this hike is at the Sinks. The parking lot for the Sinks is small, so going early might be your best option. We arrived at the parking lot at 7am and there was only one other person there who was fishing. An hour and a half later there was one other small group there to begin the hike. We didn't encounter anyone else on the trail. The Sinks is a busy spot during the summer because people fish and swim there. AllTrails lists the Meigs Creek Trail as a moderate hike.

If you're looking for a waterfall that isn't hard to get to, make the drive across the Great Smoky Mountains National Park into Cherokee, NC and check out Mingo Falls. There are quite a few stairs to climb but overall it is a relatively easy and very short hike.

If you visit the Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg Tennessee area you really need to go zipline at CLIMBWorks. It is hands down the best zipline in the Smokey Mountains.

We had a BBQ and family baby shower for Cody and Hadyn to celebrate the coming of Grayson later this month.

Male goats are pretty gross. Did you know male goats drink their pee and urinate on their face to attract female goats?

We were having dinner at Anakeesta in Gatlinburg when a Squirrel sat down at the table next to us and ate a chip.

Our border collie has no training but her instinct has her trying to herd ducks and chickens. Border Collie is the smartest dog breed and so they learn really fast.

This is a great cabin in the Tennessee mountains around Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed having our coffee with this incredible mountain view.

Keeping chickens requires more than just feeding and collecting eggs. Cleaning the coop is necessary on occasion. My coop flooded during recent rains so the hay and wood flakes on the ground were pretty nasty. In this video I clean it out, add some more sand, then put out fresh wood shavings. I also feed and collect eggs. Let me know what you think about my coop.

Our dog is cheap entertainment for us. She is a border collie/heeler mix. She is very smart and attentive. Border Collies are said to be the smartest dogs and our dog definitely learns fast. These buttons are a fun way to train them to do things.

I eat eggs daily which is one reason I really enjoy having a flock of chickens. In this video I make a simple toasted egg and cheese sandwich. Sometimes I throw in onions and peppers while cooking the eggs but I wasn't feeling it today. I'm a big fan of cast iron cooking! If you enjoy my content please follow my channel.

Incredible mountain views and ziplining go great together. This video is from Wahoo Ziplines in Sevierville, TN near Pigeon Forge.

Baby goats are so much fun to watch. Well, I love watching chickens too! This barnyard brawl is cute and funny. The goat wanted to headbutt the chicken and the hen was pecking the goat.

It's fun to watch the chickens race across the pasture when they see me walking out to feed. Thanks for Following this channel! If you like Fishing please go follow my fishing channel: https://rumble.com/c/FinTherapy

These buttons from Amazon are a fun way to add some cheap entertainment to your life. Our dog Bella stands quietly at the door when she wants to go out. We taught her to push the button when she wants out. You can record up to 30 seconds for playback. I thought adding a short clip from Who Let The Dogs Out was funny. Hit that FOLLOW button if you're a dog lover!! Here's the link to these buttons on Amazon: https://a.co/d/a6iQtai
