awesome finds!

Wow, 5 months ago, before Helene. I am a local, been there a few times. I thank you for this because I am interested to see how the river changed. From looking at drone footage it looks like those rocks below the falls are gone. A lot of boulders here are simply gone. Lots of rivers and creeks here are cleaned down to the bedrock I will be going down to these falls as soon as it warms up. And as far as I know, there is no official name for this place. It was originally owned by the Owenby's. I cannot express how valuable this video is to me personally .. I thank ya. I

Near Naola in Amherst County Virginia... "🇺🇲" ...

So is that landslide where the falls is supposed to be? Or did the falls survive and that’s the last video that is shown?

Wow...was just here in April. How things have changed...

GLAD YOU MADE IT BACK DOWN SAFE!

What’s your AllTrails @? Want to give you a follow!

The top is locked because it's an RF Radiation hazard due to the antennas on the lookout and the other towers up there.

Nice hike!

Am extremely grateful to all you content providers for helping this old lady understand the vast scope of this disaster. We live on the side of a mountain close to the French Broad about 12 miles from Marshall Marshall needs help. volunteers to help do physical work in rebuilding. Reclaim Madison is a good resource. Please share widely the listing of needs. Most charities need volunteers. Physical bodies doing work. Fema is still here. What folks dont realize how large the scop of the disaster is. Ive been posting these on my channels list under Helene. That way folks can understand what happened and how it is now My email is on channel. If there's anything we can do, perhaps folks will email me and tell me of people who haven't had their needs met Especially disabled and elderly as i am both and my heart is so worried for these folks. Before the disaster this population was ignored. So, im asking yall who can physically get out, to allow me to help by emailing me any needs. And you're welcome to give my email to folks . I will try to find help for those still struggling in bad circumstances . While my daughter and grandkids were found, dont know where they are. My bestie in Fairview still hasn't been located. By staying active, it keeps me from worry Thank you and God bless and thr good hearts here. This is how we should live, by giving whatever we have to help those who have nothing. Prayers are thought,thought is energy, energy is physics. May God bless all who put aside politics to be kind ❤ An old Cherokee Grandmother missing my daughter and grandkids.❤

Midnight Hole is packed in the Summer time.

Was this filmed after Helene? I would have imagined this area being devastated.

Nice one. You picked a great day. Water was indeed raging.

There’s an interesting, unexplainable feeling I get when I stood at the cape, watching the waves clash. It’s hard to explain.

Been going there since 1983. One of my favorite places in the world.

Thank you for sharing this history of such an amazing area. Just as Lkhroberson stated, "No doubt many beautiful memories for a lot of people." Chicamacomico is the appropriate name.

❤Beautiful place love you God bless you

Thank you for posting this for the many who wonder how the Gorge made out.

Fill up a CD with that sound and I'll buy it. I could sleep all night! I grew up about 20 miles from there in Swain County.

You are not at Myrtle Beach

This was shot at a specific time. This is not the view 364 days of the year. The water is murky, muddy and straight up dirty!!!!

nice editing! May I ask where you parked off NC 281?

Can someone drive by where the tent camp ground was,, and show what it looks like now? because i use to go there for many years it's at green river. the last flood they had there Iwent and help them rebuild it. it was for tents and they had power.

1:20 You can hear the roar of a "calm wind" in the mountains. Imagine 9/27 at 9am here.

Excellent video and explanations. Thank you for documenting this area.

It was a act of God people

The warming oceans, caused by human activity since the Industrial Revolution, brought this amount of rain to Appalachia. It’s going to happen again and again, in various places.

This proves. That the current in charge politicians believe. We the People. Work for them! St.Paul Minnesota.

Fished off of that pier so often. 1st. With my Husband, then 2 Son-inlaws now we've Dded 4 Grandchildren. It's our favorite 😍

The devastation in western NC is horrific, as it was in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. The is still much help needed and work to be done to restore lives and businesses. As we enjoy the winter holidays, please include those impacted and the volunteers trying to assist in your prayers for comfort, safety and God's richest blessings in 2025.

Thank you for this video. Linville Gorge is my favorite place on this Earth and I've been wondering how bad a hit it took during Helene. Is the road to Table Rock open? Is the area around the Outward Bound school okay? I have not been up there in many years, but as a younger man in my 20's during the 1970's I spent a lot of time on both sides as well as down along the River. I've hiked every marked trail from the Cabin Trail south to Lake James and blazed a few when I got off the trail and was semi-lost down below the Chimneys. Two friends and I have day-hiked the full length of the Gorge from Pine Gap to the lake, only took us 18 hours of the most miserable glory I think I've ever experienced. I've actually driven to the top of Shortoff Mountain three times, back before vehicles were banned, in an FJ40 Land Cruiser. Twice from Wolf Pit Rd, and once from off NC 126 at the river bridge, up what we called "The Backside", which follows the river for a while before you cross it and start up the spine of the ridge, where it intersects the Wolf Pit trail about halfway up. I've been up Old NC105 when there was a foot of snow when we started from the bottom and it was coming down at an inch per hour. Took all afternoon and part of the night to make it to NC 181. The vista you showed at 5:46 is to me the most beautiful view in North Carolina and a sunset from the Brown Mtn Overlook back towards Table Rock seen edge-on, like at the end of the video cannot be beat. For the last couple of weeks I've thought of driving up Table Rock Rd from Fish Hatchery Rd to Gingercake, but wasn't sure it would be open. Looks like I might have to make the trip now. Thanks for opening up these memories.

Thank you for driving by and recognizing our Western NC location - Wilderness Cove Campground & Tubing. We are devastated but resilient and we will be back 💚

It is still almost completely unbelievable to see all of the devastation. Thank you for posting as everyone needs to "NOT FORGET" what has happened to the people in our beautiful mountains and foothills.

How are they freezing with all the wood they got to burn I reckon they are not as tough as people say mountain people are independent and don’t need outsiders 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing. It looks so vastly different then when I rode through in early September. It will take years for this area to recover and it will never be the same. Sending healing vibes to you all.

Thank you for the update, keep documenting never forget. ❤😢🙏🏻

Im glad others are starting to take notice. Me and others have been in there from day 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2rRcnauYseFjdk

Sadly it's going to take years for Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina to recover from Helene damage. I'm 70 years old and gone thru numerous hurricanes but none like Helene!

8:27. I have to say that is pretty impressive that they got all that debris off the road to make it passable.

That’s the worst I’ve seen

Unbelievable! I went tubing there 2 summers ago.

Great video. That trail was super-overgrown when I went in the Fall. Surprised it was not more traveled. The cliff section near the falls could be pretty sketchy if wet!

Thanks for this video, for sure the national news would never show what it really looks like.

My dream

Never knew there was another set above Mingo Falls. Thanks for sharing.

Doesn’t look bad. I bet the actual gorge is trashed.

Good looking falls, but they made you work for it. What hiking shoes did you use for that one? Appreciate you documenting these scramble trails.

I was born and lived the first 26 years of my life just across a few ridges from there. 21 miles as the crow flies!

I know some horse loggers that would have fun there...
