[@judypierce7028]

I am always anxious to see where you two sweet people are going to land. Bristol is a great place very close to Johnson City. Glad you decided to visit such a grand place. Take care.

[@daveharduby8723]

We bought a house in Bristol TN last year. We love it!!!

[@chubs1701]

Thank y'all for a Great video ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jamese3169]

Thanks for posting this. It couldn't have come at a better time after the day that we, that's we as in Lead Mines Rescue, had. Helps to take my mind off what happened. The Ricky Martin comment haven't thought about him in a while.

[@benandcis]

I love traveling with you guys im disabled and haven’t traveled for years I’d love to but guess I’ll just travel with you guys.

I was raised in Bristol TN. You showed and mentioned Uncle Sams. When I was a kid, it was a Woolworth Store and had a luncheonette which remained until a couple years ago that served real ice cream sodas, burgers, etc. It was called "Broad Street on State Retro Diner" which still has a Facebook Page.

Seeing that Bristol sign brings back so many memories. I went there every 4th of July with my grandparents. I have so much family in the areas you travel around. If you know any Belcher's they are probably my family. My grandfather had 12 siblings and there's a lot of them with that last name.

Love the 70's music ❤

[@heatherfulmore3412]

I like 70s music too because I remember it. I used to watch Soul Train and my relatives had vynil records.

[@chubbawubba4287]

I have stumbled out of that track a few times. Thanks for sharing.

[@chubbawubba4287]

BTW: If we where not all a little crazy, we would all go insane!

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Wow, aren't you guys far from home? Poor Shane, you drive so much during the week and then on the weekends too? I hope you have a dependable vehicle!

[@Animefruba]

They said in the last video the car was coming up on 300,000 miles

[@randomvintagefilm273]

​@@Animefrubawow, that's a good car 😂

[@stevekerrfuffle]

In case you didn't mention it, Bristol is where the famous work wear company LC King/Pointer Brand is based out of.

[@stevekerrfuffle]

[@prissymissy3208]

For the record...it's bristol baby...was first uttered by Darrel Waltrip...

[@traceym.8680]

I have Chaps just like those I wear when I'm on our Harley !!

[@norwolf4765]

My dad was born in Bristol and my grandfather had two farms there. I got to visit relatives years ago that lived there and Gate city and Kingsport. My great grandfather lived at Big Moccasin Creek, but was gone long before I was born. My dad was a Wolfe and my grandmother was an Alley, which I imagine there are still those in those family lines in the area still today.

[@robinhaupt9119]

[@timgriffith2094]

I love watching your videos of northeastern TN and southwestern VA. I’m in GA now, recently retired, trying to find a house to move back to that area.

[@realappalachia]

Thank you, it’s home to us so we love it

[@ThisHomeschoolingAdventure]

I grew up taking trips to Bristol to see family. Even so, I've never been to the speedway.

[@refinedhayseedappalachian9777]

Bristole has a secret... All i know is the velodrome that bristol pavement makes around its way inside big mountains.

[@juliehartley2414]

LOOOVED this video! You 2are a DEKIGHT to watch! Informative, interesting & comical!

[@schizoozy]

In '85 or '86 I went to Viking Hall and met Conway Twitty and Gary Morris after a concert. Conway gave me a signed album and sang Hello Darlin' to me while on stage. I was standing down front in a crowd and they cleared everyone away but me and he sang. I have the photos somewhere.

[@hello9945]

The more eggs cost the more chicken's in the holler. 🐔

[@kimfanning7339]

We have some BBQ wars of our own as well - here in middle SC we are mustard base sauce, while our NC neighbors to our north have the pepper and vinegar sauce. Me, I don't discriminate - I love them all!

[@debbieroyal1728]

I think it was Darrell Waltrip when he was doing the race announcing.

[@PastorDanWhite]

I've been to a Bristol NASCAR race. Awesome.

[@justanotheralmaroad1923]

April 1st BMS will have the dirt track race. Glad I don't have to clean up after fans there anymore. The first time they did that there was a red fog of dirt that night that was awful. Think the passenger rail will ever come back to Bristol ?

[@user-di1xp9ml3h]

I helped repaint those cartoon chateters outside of the abdingon cinma mall a few years ago it was a pain but we made em look good

[@AllenParks1]

I think the reason the Tennessee side got more built up was because of covid.Virginia's covid restrictions were so bad , Tennessee Lifted theirs a lot earlier .

[@viking7560]

That sky though.

[@talldude5841]

Good vid you two. Shane your right about nascar. I used to enjoy it as a kid. Now, I never watch it. What happened?

[@johnmarshall8021]

Don’t have much time…. April 9 (spring race on dirt)

[@schizoozy]

Add a link for the shirt. TY

[@navydogsadventures3500]

How far of a drive is this for you?

[@PastorDanWhite]

Buckshot Jones from Georgia.

[@PastorDanWhite]

I don't like interstates either.

[@gailweikelcorrea]
