I'm really enjoying these Exploring Tennessee adventures! I love my 'armchair traveling' with the two of you! Keep on driving the backroads; there's a lot of folks riding along with you!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you! Will do!

We bought our kids the valentine day coloring book! We will always remember the grand opening day when we met y’all! Fun times

[@tinaseaboch1364]

Love you guys & it’s ok to be different but I do NOT get the hype of Buc-ees!!!The sodium in those nugget things gave me the worst migraine. I would love to try the jerky but goodness its expensive. Everyone says their BBQ sandwich is the best!! It should be at $10 a sandwich tho!!

[@mariebruzdowski6466]

The waterfalls are beautiful. Thank you for taking us with you

Great to see you in White Co!! My neck of the woods. Bon Air Mountain in White Co. The Bon Air Mt Historical Society may would have opened for you if they knew you were coming. Sunset Rock is a real landmark here. You passed Wildcat Falls right past Sunset Rock, another beautiful waterfalls. So many in the vacinity. So glad you enjoyed Rock Island. Lester Flatt was my great uncle. Sparta has really worked hard beautifing the downtown.

[@ronniecopeland831]

Welcome to Crossville, love your Jeep, I have a 2 door Rubicon same color. Thanks for visiting our lovely Town. You should go to Fall Creek Falls, beautiful place.

[@SmokyMountainGoatRoper]

Rock Island is beautiful! We love going there! Check out the other parks around Center Hill Lake too. Edgar Evins Park has a really neat tower you can go up in and lots of beautiful areas there too. Burgess Falls (south of Cookeville) is amazing! We are staying at The Retreat on the lake. It has a great story behind it involving a young boy named Timothy Hill.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jaznjen9876]

So Saturday, June 17th, we took our 2nd "yankeeinthesouth" destination day trip. We went to Rock Island to see the falls. Unfortunately the Great Falls was just a trickle compared to this day you all went. Twin Falls was coming down though. But the man at the antique store said Twin Falls pretty much gushes all the time. (our first destination was Amis Mill)

[@sher.ewma.8727]

I currently live in Michigan and Lived in Crossville for 7 years. Thanks for sharing the memories.

Really enjoyed this video. Crossville looks like a really neat town. Alot of really neat buildings. Really cool old time movie theater. In 2 weeks I will be going to my first Buc-ees I can't wait!! I am so excited. Thanks for another great video and for taking us on another wonderful adventure. I really love these backroad adventures and drives.. you discover and take us to many hidden precious gems and wonderful small towns. The Waterfall wS absolutely beautiful.

@robolgatree5815 I bet. It looked amazing from the outside.

[@chrisdriver6903]

I've been to the Calhoun buc_ees , and I loved how big they are.....

[@busybee5621]

Will, it is so disgusting when you take a bite out of something then show a close up. Stop! If you want to show the insides, a proper way would be to cut thru the item. At 8:20 you show food after you took a bite.

[@Kandy77788]

love road trips like this!! thanks Will and Dawn!🪴🍁🍂🍃

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Our pleasure!

[@WadeLife]

I take trips there and often cool fact there is nothing behind that ledge to cause the waterfalls its actually forced up through the inner rocks and then cascades back into itself is what I was told force form the current causes it.. Great upload

Loved the spring houses and especially the water falls
