3 Days Of Beautiful Cades Cove - Miscellaneous Scenes

This video contains miscellaneous clips of 3 days visiting Cades Cove, and enjoying the wildlife and beautiful scenery.
We also play the CD "The Sounds Of The Great Smoky Mountains", while riding through the Cove. Any background music you hear, is from that CD.

I've never seen the horses run like that. That was such a beautiful part of your video!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes! We loved that. We've seen the horses there, but never running like that. I definitely wanted to capture that part.

[@cliffordnorthrup5405]

Cape Coast has a lot of beautiful things I love this drive you guys when you take it because it's very beautiful to watch and horses were cool

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, we love driving through Cades Cove. A very beautiful area.

[@shelwhitley1011]

The Cove is one of my favorite destinations of all time!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes! Ours too!

[@eneryma]

I accidentally have come across your videos (as well as many other similar creators) but just wanted to say you are a breath of fresh air! So down to earth like I like my folks! This homegrown WV gal is dreaming of moving to Western NC. Y’all have the TRUE mountains, we have tall hills comparably! 😂

Imagine my surprise as I went on vacation with my new boyfriend with the last name Tipton, in 2001, as we started touring this area!!! SO many Tipton graves. We had no idea either, just came to the smokies and Cades cove by chance! I found all this out recently when I did our genealogy. I had stood on that land! Walked in the Tipton barn! The marriage didn't sustain but we made some Tipton descendants, and I'm bringing the Tipton kids to their ancestors home land later this year!!! They're 11, 8, 8. They're gonna love this!!! William fighting billy Tipton is my ex's 5th Great Uncle. Thanks for the great video!! Can't wait to bring the kiddos, I hope March isnt too busy/cold!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, Tipton was a very popular name in the early days of Cades Cove. The Tipton place was actually featured in a movie, called "The Dollmaker". Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip with your kids. March can be warm and feeling like Spring, or it can be freezing with snow. I'd definitely check the forecast a few days before you come.

[@mikeanderson7165]

I agree 💯on the people stopping an holding up traffic just look as you go by don’t stop for minutes at time unless you are on a pull off. Really enjoy y’all’s videos.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Exactly! And it is posted in several places, not to do that. People just disregard the rules.

[@Phillip-yy4fr]

Thanks for another beautiful video. Wish I was there right now.

[@smokymountainman4964]

I agree there is mo place more beautiful in all of God's Creation that Cades Cove.

[@susanr5967]

We’ve been to Cades Cove 3 times, I’ve been to lots of beautiful places too but nothing compares. You just have to experience it yourself. I would love to go back at different times of the day. This video was absolutely amazing and as close to being there as you can without being there lol. Great job!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Being able to visit at different times of day, is one of the advantages to camping in the Cove for a few days. We especially love the Cove in the late evening.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

That is for sure!

[@kathimeadows7869]

Beautiful Cades Cove. Thank you for the tour.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

You're very welcome

[@TeresaReynolds-fd6kb]

Wow!! That’s so awesome to hear about!! That you Mr Ledbetter for sharing your memories and your knowledge of one of our favorite places. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

You're very welcome. Mr. Ledbetter was very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to ride along with. Thanks for watching!

[@omadavis4858]

Beautiful. We love the cove.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, beautiful place.

[@rayfoxworth2360]

THANK GOD FOR THIS PLACE

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes!

[@debbiel9843]

So glad to see this video come up in my recommendations! Love to visit Cades Cove and just subscribed. Isn't it amazing the things you can only learn from people who've lived there and their descendants? Thanks for sharing what Mr Ledbetter shared with you. If you've not visited the Cades Cove Museum in Maryville, it is most definitely worth a stop. It is chock full of personal items from Cove residents. I was the only visitor there for most of the time and had the unbelievably good fortune to visit there when the great-great-great grandson of John and Lurena Oliver, Stephen Weber, was volunteering. Got a personal tour of the museum and backstory on many artifacts. It was the most priceless experience I've had on my visits so far.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you for sharing. Yes, the museum is definitely something we have talked about doing and want to do. It was great to have Mr. Ledbetter accompany us through the Cove, and point out many things we would not have known otherwise. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting, and we appreciate you subscribing.

[@koalabear6722]

The Cove is our favorite place! Fun to pick up lunch and park. There's another cantilever barn back where the park store is. Beautiful video. We visit every year. 😊...traffic probably due to the holiday 😮

[@NCMemoryMakers]

It's our favorite place anywhere. The scenic beauty is unmatched in this area.

[@mikeanderson7165]

Absolutely love Cades Cove. We went to Cataloochee last weekend seen Elk. But Cades Cove is way prettier just a lot more people. Really appreciate y’all sharing your videos. May our Lord keep y’all safe on y’alls adventures.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for watching. Glad you got to see Elk in Cataloochee. We agree, that Cades Cove is prettiest, but we do love Cataloochee in the Fall. How were the leaves there last weekend?

[@mikeanderson7165]

@@NCMemoryMakers turning some were absolutely beautiful an some were still green.

[@shellyparkin4899]

Just letting you know what the coins on a grave mean... a penny means you visited, a nickle means you were in basic together, a dime means you fought alongside, and a quarter means you were there when they died. Hope that helps 😊

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you. The ones on the infant graves, were hard to figure out.

[@shellyparkin4899]

Yes. Just a bit confusing 🤷‍♀️

[@amandadryman5593]

I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@smokymountainman4964]

Derrick and Shawnie. Thanks for another great video.. you know how much I love Cades Cove. WoW that bear encounter sure was something. I wonder what was up with that white truck. Very rude not to pull off and to hold up traffic.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

It's odd, but when people get to the Cove, they just seem to think they are the only ones there and can do whatever. By the time I got the camera on him, he had started to distance himself a little bit. But he was literally right there in front of the second car, and was clearly one of the ones causing the problem. Yes, I believe Cades Cove is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I always enjoy being there.

[@GwenNicholson-dd5iu]

Great video of the Cove, very enjoyable. Will be there in 3 weeks, so excited😊

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Have a great trip! Hope you get to see lots of wildlife.

[@kendrasmith6637]

Thank you. This was wonderful to watch 😊

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sherrymack94]

Love love love Cave Cove my favorite place it is so peaceful and beautiful I am so glad we get to go back in November 1 week should be good

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Hope you have a great trip! One of the most beautiful places anywhere.

[@sandrakinsey1275]

I’m enjoying your video in Cades Cove. So glad that you showed the cemetery just past the Dan Lawson place( thanks to Luke Ledbetter). I hope to find it next month. Thanks again for all of your refreshing and interesting videos of the Smokies. You cannot visit the Smokies and leave untouched.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

That is very true. Let us know if you are able to visit that cemetery, and what you thought of it. We have driven by that spot hundreds of times and never knew it was there.

[@sandrakinsey1275]

We have too over the years. I’ll definitely look for it next month and let you know if I find it.

[@kathyflint3850]

Loved watching your slow drives through Cades Cove! We haven't been there in years... it's time to visit again 😊❤ And we just subscribed to your channel! ❤

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for the subscription, and we are so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching, and yes, it is time to visit again.

[@sharonspivey781]

Love Cades Cove, thanks for sharing such detail of it😊

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching, and for your comment.

[@deborahclaypool2349]

A great video !!!!

[@bettysuewyatt6170]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. It's been a year since we've been to the Cove. Hopefully we'll be going back in a little over a week.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. It truly is a beautiful place. Have fun!

[@Momtocam1997]

Never been to Cades Cove..hopefully we can visit in the Fall or sometime next year. We are off to Garden City mid October for a week.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Cades Cove is beautiful

[@juliemoon3808]

Beautiful! Awesome video!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@jerrynunley9956]

There used to be a barn at Elijah Oliver's cabin but it wasn't a cantilever

[@brianb.5473]

Thank you Mr. Ledbetter and thank you Derrick and Shawnasi for sharing this amazing video. I learned so much about Cades Cove that I never knew. Brenda B and I really enjoyed this. 6 stars on a 5 star rating for sure. Also we are praying for you Shawnasi for your back issues. I have degenerative disc disease. Sciatica issues. Spinedolthies and spinedolthosias. I highly doubt I spelled those correctly. But it's basically severe arthritis So I understand what your going through.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you for watching! Thank you for the prayers. I will do the same for you!

[@kimb5514]

This was a great video!! God's creation is magnificent. I loved the bear right slobg the road. This happened to us on the parkway below Townsend. The bear crossed the road right in front if us and we were the only ones around. I watch all your vlogs, but husband is usually the one that comments. We are planning a trip to the area in January and hope to meet y'all then.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Keep in touch!

[@Brebear6971]

Seen where you was riding in back of your truck and noticed that you have a soft shell topper how good are them and what do they start at price wise thinking about getting one but no reviews on them that I can find

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I really like mine. We used to have one of the heavy tops when our boys were still at home to help us get it on and off. But it became too heavy for just my wife and I, and these are much lighter. I also like the fact that it folds down in the back. I don't even have it on right now, and that is another reason I like it. Not very difficult to get on and off. I paid about $850 for it, but it's been about 5 years.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I haven't actually looked at their website lately, to see how much they have gone up in price. You have to enter what type of truck you have, to see which one you need. You can then choose which color. We ordered ours online through their site.

[@debbiepalmer6295]

I have loved these 2 videos on the cove it’s by far my favorite place. There is a channel I think you would love in his playlist he has a series on the cove with some people who lived there with more of the fascinating unknown facts. It’s Donnie Laws his channel is wonderful. You would find it very interesting to continue to learn like I did. More unknown cemetery’s and a very interesting cutout rock sink on the side of a hill from a spring. Check it out when you have a minute.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, we have been subscribed to Donnie Law's channel for quite a while. Haven't watched him in a month or two, but really do enjoy it. He has some very interesting videos. So glad you enjoyed watching these videos on the Cove. It is a beautiful place, and having Mr. Ledbetter take us through, was an added bonus.

[@debbiepalmer6295]

Mr Leadbetter was wonderful

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@@debbiepalmer6295 Yes, we agree.

[@ChuckMooney-tq3xb]

GO GATORS. WE WON YET AGAIN

[@NCMemoryMakers]

This is not a football video, Sir. If I were you, I would have held off until after this weekend, as your team is in for a thrashing.
