You got that absolutely right...we have a rare breed of natural entertainer with good taste for music, good filmography, and above all good content. When it comes to taste the reason he doesn't have a million views already as to be because the world was made upside down...
@time2see192Ай бұрын
How do you know he doesn't have a lil team behind the filmography? Not being sarcastic, but first timer here, and I was just thinking how well this is done, love the quick cuts, I too am not getting bored, which is rare for this content, because I actually live right here, in the center of the loop he did. But I was just pondering if he does it all by himself. First thing I do is check subscribers, than how many videos creators have posted, to see if it's even feasible to have help.. So, really... all himself? Or was that a guess... Good day! 🏕

You remembered those folks buried there, when you stopped and read their names. I read an article about some caverns in France that were used by the French, American and German troops during World War I. A lot of the soldiers carved their names in the limestone down in the caves. The entrances to these sires were on private property and one of the owners said that he goes down once a year and speaks their names. That way the man was honoring those forgotten souls. I always dip my fries in the Frosty!😊😎

It was especially cool because you all went different routes and then met back up together with COMPLETELY different experiences to share. I remember thinking how in the world did Robby get the easy hike when he's got the most energy out of all of them! Watching Andrew and Bryan was painful at times then the next scene, Robby's there with nothing to do. "Doot dee doot dee doo." It was too funny. Oh! And the letter from Thomas! Good stuff! I haven't finished viewing this new one yet - just wanted to post this before I forgot. 😁

This was a cool idea Robby! You're brave to hike the Smokies in the weather you can wear time of year, which coincides with overgrown-a-palooza. Locals coming from Cosby to Cammerer typically head up to Low Gap, and then over on the AT. That means Lower Cammerer gets relatively little attention. Super cool to see Quadzilla!

I will spend hours and hours in nature. I love the peace and quiet. If you ask me, nature is good for your mind, body, and soul. I go hiking at Rainier National Park in Seattle. Most of the trails are paved. Olympic National Park at the coast is super popular for hikers and campers. Everyone likes hiking on a beach and staring at the ocean at night when they camp there. It's not Hawaii. But it's the next best thing.
