[@kimberlyschleicher5292]

I really enjoy your camping videos, Thank you.

[@FridaysForever]

Glad you like them!

[@elizabethhill9998]

It’s wonderful to see prayer!!!

[@dixiegoodman7473]

When my children were growing up, I told them, everyday is a Present 🎁 from God, and to live in the Present Day, and enjoy the beautiful day God has given us. I agree with you Ms Karen. I was always cleaning my house on Saturday because I worked full time. I should have been in the floor playing with my kids. Enjoy you videos and always looking forward to the next video. Be safe in your travels.

[@mikecausey6693]

Since I have gotten older and my kids have grown up and moved away I have had the same thought. Very grateful for every morning. God bless you. Love Fridays forever ❤

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@koalabear6722]

Campgrounds, noisy, crowded. Elkmont in the fall, for us. Dinner, yum, love Daisy Sour Cream. Loving all the camping videos. My moments are my husband of 45 yrs, me, our two boys and spending time with our grandchildren. So when we camp, thats OUR MOMENT TIME, just us. 😊

[@FridaysForever]

Sounds great!

[@reneebarrow4697]

Enjoyed the fireside chat, the food, and the campground. Yep, it was a big campground. Hey 👋 Big T. Hugs 🤗 and kisses 😘. When Karen woke him up, he looked like, why you waking me up mom? Bless his heart. ❤️ Thanks for sharing. Have fun, be safe, and God Bless. Don't forget to hit the thumbs up button 👍everyone.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you for sharing Renee - God bless!

[@coleslaw2415]

Boiled peanuts with a Coke is where it’s at!!

[@CindyYr11]

Food looked delicious, Big T was comfortable in mama’s lap and your message hit hard. I worry about my companion dog as she is 13 but she with me this moment. I am shutting off my phone and go give Scarlett some love and affection. This moment will make my day. Peace ❤

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for sharing Cindy

[@southmountainoutdoors4628]

100% that's why we also film our memories. We have a youtube channel also. Others can watch but it's mostly for us to be able to back and see. Just over the few years our kids have grown so much

[@ShelbyFinch-h7s]

Omg the GMC with the tarp on it is us!!!

[@darlenedrummer8478]

I LOVE NORTH CAROLINA ! ♥️

[@teresabrooks9887]

Yes, we need to stop and enjoy the little things. Keeping it simple.

[@kristenschnese6980]

Great video being in the moment is very true.. especially our generation I think we have to so many 50/60 and 70 year old are passing away We just talked about. Perfectionism and procrastination today in church..

[@meltcmelinda4012]

Beautiful campground, lots of folks all sharing their lives together and making memories. Like you stated, Karen, being in the moment. Supper looked wonderful, Yum. I think I could smell the roasted chicken in NC cooking away. How was the sleeping? Big T was blowing zzzzzzs on your lap. God bless and keep you safe on all your travels. We had some wonderful friends that lived in Cherokee during the 1980s. Carl, was a wood carver and I collected his beautiful hand carved pieces. I always asked him if I could see them first before being put up for sale. Some are on display in the Cherokee Museum. When they, Native Americans, came to our town or close by we would head to their pow wows and spend hours watching them dancing and looking at the crafts. Carl and his wife Sharon were always there selling his beautiful carvings. That to me is a photo in time, caught and saved never to be lived again except in ones heart or memory. Moment in time. All my Love, waving from NC

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Mel - we slept good on this visit. We are sure Carl's carvings are wonderful and would love to see them. God bless and thanks for sharing.

[@cathypritchard4306]

I camped there many years ago & the River sites were all for campers. They have added the cabins. Big place.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for watching Cathy.

[@KathyWalters-ol8mh]

BEAUTIFUL! You are such a wonderful couple...........and of course BIG T is wonderful too. Love your videos so much. Your love of Jesus is so obvious and welcomed. God bless you.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you so much!!

[@alicevaughn7990]

Beautiful area,Quesadillas looked yummy .Big T is such a precious puppy, he is lucky to have someone who loves and cares for him like y’all do . Keep making memories, as you get older they become more precious. God bless you. You sure are loved and Appreciated.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much Alice. God bless.

[@amyblevins9930]

We took your advise and we are here now at this KOA and it is very nice. We will be back for sure.

[@bonniekaye]

*You always make our day!!* *So glad that my sister told me about your channel!* 🙂👍

[@ashleys_sadness]

Another great video. Thanks for the entertainment

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure

[@deatra-happypagirl4063]

What a great campground, and so big. Sure hope you visited Mingo Falls since you were so close. It is a very pretty falls. Time sure does go fast and we all need to enjoy the moment. The older we get, the more we realize how fast the years roll by. Thanks for the reminder to live in the moment since tomorrow is not promised.

[@dandtintennessee7675]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have our older us wisdom while we're our younger us so we would realize that so many moments only come once and you better not miss them? Even some moments that feel like extreme hardships at the time later turn out to be precious moments or blessings. Not trying to make your video about me but it's a relevant story. My mother got sick with covid about a week after I had knee surgery in December 2021. While i was in a full leg brace and on crutches I spent 3 weeks staying with her in the hospital nearly all day every day. There had been complications after my surgery, I was supposed to have been back at work 3 days later but it turned into 4 weeks after.. Well.. she passed away after 3 weeks in the hospital from heart complications and covid. But what seemed like a hardship at the time was actually a blessing because I was able to spend all that time with her when she needed someone with her and although it was tough at the time it was a blessing God allowed me to have that extra time with her. Its such an honor to be able to be there when your parents are in need and leave this world. God plans things just right. So yes, don't let those little moments go by unappreciated. You only get one chance at it. Long-winded.. sorry 😊

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for sharing with us Doug.

[@rhondacope4947]

This has been memories for me. My sons fished as we enjoyed wonderful visits with my great aunts from Tennessee (Pigeon Forge). My little great niece called boiled peanuts juicy beans and asked for them all the time😀I like boiled peanuts. Love your channel Mike and Karen!

[@bryanthefishermanbaker4961]

Thanks y’all wife and I just got our first tv can not wait to take it to all these place y’all go thanks and great video

[@jodypugh3366]

Beautiful campground and great location!We love that area!Thanks for sharing Mike and Karen!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Jody!

[@Momtocam1997]

We visited this campground 5 years ago with plans to camp here, but haven’t yet. I do remember the indoor pool, but not the outdoor pool. We also noted this campground is very spacious. I particularly loved the cabins along the river. Which, if we ever get back there, we plan on staying in. Very good location..convenient to many other places within a short drive. Thanks for sharing this adventure. Hugs to Big T.. God Bless

[@FridaysForever]

It is a good location Lisa - let us know if you go and stay. Big T says hi and God bless.

[@timmartin4952]

Enjoyed your fireside chat. My wife reminds me that camping is our time together. I appreciated your prayer at dinner and comments about time here on earth. A better life does await us if we know Jesus as Savior. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us.

[@helenguilford7510]

Love the campground review and the fireside chat.😊

[@FridaysForever]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Thanks for the grilling idea. We love Quesadas. We are thinking of heading to Cherokee the next time we go to the Smokies. We do try to live in the moment, nice fireside chat. Nice KOA. we may try staying in the National Park @ Cherokee

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video, watch out for the elks 😊, it is nice in Cherokee 😊 Koa is always pricey 😊

[@FridaysForever]

Yes they are!

[@amberbryant8141]

So beautiful KOA campground ⛺️ Oh look good chicken wrap taco 🌮 Hi Big T, Karen and Mike enjoy your camping 🏕️ Cherokee. ❤️🫶🏻

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Amber!

[@caitlyncooks4747]

Looks like a great place to stay! Thank you.

[@will4gzus]

Mike makes some really good food on the Blackstone

[@johnrichard9015]

You guys just absolutely ROCK! Loving your RV travels, and truly appreciate your contributions to our wonderful trips to the Gatlinburg area. Brought our 2 grown boys in June and they LOVED it. Keep the good times rolling! ❤from La.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much!

[@carolcampbell7890]

Can you please show us tent sites

[@stephaniemariephotography5179]

We have been wanting to try that campground. Those little cabins are cute. I know what you mean about the boiled peanuts. It always reminded me of an uncooked pinto bean. But the Cajun ones near Blowing Rock, NC are pretty good!

[@DebraKopera]

Thank you for sharing these videos with us

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure Debra.

[@MrLoloHunter]

We stay at the Cherokee KOA every year in November . We love to fish the area when crowds are gone and bring some trout home. We love the new pet patio sites. Although we always bring our camper we stayed in a cabin one year but we noticed they don’t do a good job cleaning them.

[@PajamasMendeleev]

I like your vids and appreciate your messages. Thank you. This video played 8 midroll ads. To the extent that you have control over the frequency of ads, that is excessive in my opinion.

[@michaelking2252]

I've passed by that campground several times but didn't realize how big it is. It's not far from Mingo Falls which is one of my favorite waterfalls ever.

[@southmountainoutdoors4628]

O and thanks for the video. We will definitely be trying this place out. I also recommend stone bridge rv resort in Maggie valley.

[@timmysummerville1066]

Food looks good

[@jeffdickens7019]

Mike and Karen hope you all are doing well Cherokee North Carolina campground is a nice place I was always told live everyday like it's your last because you're not promised tomorrow take care and God bless

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Jeff- so true. God bless.

[@keitheverhart9556]

I think living in the moment is so very important considering how fast time goes. Unfortunately that's a lesson only time can teach us. But, right now with my age and arthritis I can't help but live in the moment because I can't move fast enough to blow by anything.😀

[@peggiewindham4819]

Thank you for sharing we come to Cherokee every year but never stay in the campground . We love boiled peanuts the ham and hot favors are really good

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for watching!

[@jimfowler1514]

My wife and I plan on moving to East Tennessee shortly! Selling our home in Ohio!! Making Tennessee our new home! Maybe just going totally mobile/ camper life!! Hopefully with prayers, and God's help!

[@evdallas123]

I've stayed there 2 times many years ago it was nice

[@gsantos8911]

god bless you guys have a great Sunday 🙏

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you! God bless.

[@pamcamp1396]

I lost my sister yesterday. She was the twin to my sister I lost in Jan. I also lost a sister 1 yr ago so losing 3 sisters has been a sad year for me. Live in the moment!!

[@FridaysForever]

Oh Pam, we are so very sorry to hear that you’ve had this much loss. Sisters -siblings are truly a blessing in our lives. Praying for your peace and comfort and yes, living in the moment is important. Thanks for sharing with us so we can pray for you. 🙏🏻

[@jimcoleman3124]

Good video. You need some good south Georgia boiled peanuts. You won't go back to anything else. They have to be done right! Still, want to meet you great people.

[@mikeanderson7165]

I definitely don’t like boil peanuts either. Thank y’all for sharing another awesome video ❤

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure!

[@can35236]

so true

[@ginamaria2579]

Looks like a great place 🤗💕

[@FridaysForever]

It is!

[@lynnhollingsworth9240]

I like cherokee alot of good shops

[@FridaysForever]

We agree Lynn.

[@elainefuller3879]

Enjoyed this video as always awesome!! Are you guys full time traveling RV’s? I’ve gotten great ideas from the places y’all have traveled, ate and camped!

[@FridaysForever]

Not yet!

[@snakeyhollerfamily]

Love ur videos . Dose this place have tent camping ?

[@betsychristner644]

Yes it does.

[@leelynn5857]

I notice the heaver clothing, was this recent or was it uploaded from a previous time? I ask because I want that hoodie ... LOL. Karen I LOVE LOVE LOVE your clothes. I told my husband we have to go to the places ya'll go just so I can get the clothes :D

[@chet3030]

Where did Mike get his green pullover? Looks comfortable.

[@Mawmawonthego]

What type of bowls are the blue ones with the handles? That looks like a beautiful campground.

[@skippyjones4195]

Helloooo ❤️🙏🏻👍✌️

[@Luh._.Jordan15]

I just seen you guys on the road🎉❤❤

[@FridaysForever]

We saw you!

[@carlavision6143]

Mike and Karen, really enjoyed your video! What a beautiful campground! Thought y'all would be on the river. As always I love seeing Big T. Really enjoyed your fireside chat! I still miss my baby Woofy who the vet wouldn't let my mom bring me to get him and they left him alone to die there at the office. He's been gone since March 15,2006. I can't forgive them for what they did. I never got to say goodbye to him. I wish Woofy Jr would let me put him in his stroller so, we can go for walks but, he growls every time I try to pick him up. Y'all are making me hungry! Love y'all and God Bless!

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Carla! So sad about Woofy. God bless.

[@carlavision6143]

@@FridaysForever thank you! God Bless You too!

[@gaylam6378]

Nice place! And a good dinner. Boiled peanuts are only good if you do them yourself. Otherwise, they are mushy. Yuk! I only like them if still a little firm. Living out of peanut country now, I order green peanuts from Georgia. But now you can order green peanuts online, ready to boil by the bag.

[@jaymejohnson2375]

Do you have a link to your blackstone or can you tell me which one you recommend ? I want to get my husband one thanks! Btw just got back from a week in Gatlinburg and was hoping to run into you guys but didn't!! One of these days!!

[@MrMikeOrlando]

Which route would you suggest taking? We are in MORRISTOWN, TN.

[@FridaysForever]

I'd probably head towards Asheville unless you would like to take the Wilton Springs exit off 40 to 321 and down through Gatlinburg and over the mountain.

[@pamknight3462]

Born and raised in Arizona never have I heard of boiled peanuts before until I moved to New Orleans. I agree I don’t like them either.

[@MarkWlodarski-ng6ve]

When will you be in Gatlinburg again?

[@FridaysForever]

Hey Mark! Try to follow us on our social media places for when and where we are traveling.

[@angeladpearson]

I live in Georgia, and I hate boiled peanuts, too! To me, they taste just like a half cooked pinto bean, lol. Not good. 😂

[@deborahclaypool2349]

Nice for kids too noisy for us

[@benscrwbiutb9800]

Canned boiled peanuts aren’t good. Fresh boiled green ones are. Need to show more mountain scenery near each campground.

[@lynnhollingsworth9240]

My dad don't like boiled peanuts he said they taste like raw pinto beans. I like boiled peanuts.

[@mariemills9759]

Why do you have a tape over wording of your hat

[@sheilawillis490]

I read a comments page about this campground...camping may be ok but those tiny houses have horrible reviews....repeated bedbug infestations....

[@jerrygundrum1]

golf cart parades are about the dumbest things ever

[@CLT4092]

We checked out soho falls last time we were up near Cherokee⛰️🏕
