Driving down a country road in Tennessee we had a Black bear walk across the road.

June 2023 - If you plan to travel to the Smoky Mountains during the summer, you should add Deep Creek to your agenda. Deep Creek is on the North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Tubes can be rented at nearby businesses but we bought ours at Walmart. They held up just fine. There is no cost to enter the park or float the river. If you go you must have a parking pass to park your vehicle for more than 15 minutes anywhere in the National Park.

Take a ride on the Alpine Coaster in Pigeon Forge, TN. Check out the full ride video on my channel.

This cute baby chick decided to bail out of my hand and fly. It landed semi- gracefully and wasn't harmed. My herding dog loves chickens. Did you know that it take 5 months or more for a hatched chick to start laying eggs?

This is a Ribbon snake. It is commonly misidentified as a Garter snake.

June 2023 - The Foothills Parkway is a scenic drive in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park close to Pigeon Forge, TN. You'll get amazing views of the Smokies without having to hike. On our drive, we started in Wears Valley, TN on Hwy 321. We eventually crossed Hwy 321 again around Walland, TN and continued on to the intersection of Hwy 129 that takes you to The Tail of the Dragon and Fontana Dam.

Deep Creek in Bryson City, NC. Great place to visit If you're ever in the Smoky Mountains. Tubing Fail

If you plan to vacation in the Gatlinburg area and are looking for fun things to do, you have to put CLIMB Works ziplines on your list. Climb works is hands down the best zipline in the Smokies. Check out our channel for the full video. Oh and sorry I didn't have a windscreen on my GoPro.

June 2023 - If you plan to vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains during the summer and are looking for water activities I have a great suggestion for you! Fontana Lake is a beautiful reservoir just outside Bryson City, NC surrounded by the beautiful Smoky Mountains. The water is clear and cold. We rented a 22 foot pontoon boat with a tube from Fontana Village Resort Marina. The guys running the marina were very nice and friendly. It was a pleasure dealing with them and we thoroughly enjoyed the four hours we spent on the lake. I highly recommend Fontana Village Resort Marina to anyone wanting to spend a day or part of a day on a rented boat like we did. Boat Rentals can be reserved online! https://fontanavillage.com/marina/

June 2023 - The Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster on Wears Valley Rd in Pigeon Forge Tennessee is our personal favorite mountain coaster. I'm not sure if this has changed with the addition of many other mountain coasters in the area, but the Alpine coaster is said to be the longest alpine coaster in the United States. At a top speed of 27 mph, this coaster will certainly satisfy your need for speed. Some other mountain coasters in the area have multiple slow inclines throughout the track, but the alpine coaster brings you to the top and the rest of the ride is all downhill. If you plan to ride this one or any of the other mountain coasters in the area, please do not slow down or stop on the track because there will be other riders behind you that will not be able to go full speed and get the full experience they paid for. Another tip is to check Groupon for a nice discount on this mountain coaster ride. Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster 867 Wears Valley Rd, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863

June 2023 - Jayell ranch is a pretty neat place located in Sevierville just outside Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. They offer horseback riding, ziplining, ATV riding as well as other fun activities on the property. The horse ride was about 4 miles long and took a couple hours. It was nice and easy. Some of the riding was in the woods and some was in the open with mountain views. The other family in our group kept us entertained. This was a fun adventure. #horseriding #countrylife #horses #tennessee

My heeler/collie mix loves walking trails with me.
