Empty Buildings & Beautiful Covered Bridges Near Pigeon Forge - Non Tourist Areas Of Smoky Mountains

Covered Bridges in Smoky Mountains

[@travisnoffsinger1703]

This is a classic Adam the Woo video. Love it. You captured the magic of that covered bridge and that beautiful little stream perfectly. These are the kinds of videos where we almost feel like we’re sitting right there beside of you and admiring all of the amazing sights and sounds. Man, you have a true gift for capturing the history, the ambience, and the sounds and tranquility of a place on video and describing it in a way that ignites imagination and wonder about what stories it could tell, what eyes have seen it, and what lives have been impacted by those locations in the past. Adam… man… I hope you will always make these kinds of videos because they bring so much happiness and they are medicine for the soul for so many. Well done my friend. 👍🏻

hi

[@rosewalker223]

thank you for the beauseful read!

I don't normally watch vlogs longer than 20 or 30 minutes long but yours seem to go by so quickly because they are so interesting and i love the content.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thank you . Glad you enjoy them

[@deadairconversion]

Adam is a good narrator

[@ShaferScott]

Still waiting for the spin-off channel TheNightlyWoo.

Adam, if I were giving you a grade on today’s video, you’d get an A+ . Such a privilege when you share your travels with us.

[@pbj9578]

I had friends who got married at the Harrisburg covered bridge.

[@OldMovieRob]

These are my favorite videos of yours, when you find these out of the way country places. There's nothing like the peacefulness of the Smokies. Thanks for filming all of this.

[@janeclay9684]

Before you started drawing our attention to this area and it’s awe inspiring beauty the only thing this Brit knew about it was Dollywood. Thanks to your vlogs over the past few years you’ve shown me so much of the States and this area in particular. It’s now on my bucket list, which I sincerely hope to implement within the next couple of years 😊

[@TheDailyWoo]

Wish more would stop focusing on just Dollywood . I love that place so much but even if it wasn’t here the area has so much more to offer

[@brianjanson8433]

@@TheDailyWoo I could see Adam, after he retires from KZbin, to maybe retire in this area of the country. The weather is not too harsh, the beauty is unmatched, and there is always something to see or do very close by not to mention the people seem to be very friendly.

Deeply red there. I enjoyed the area very much in 2020. People friendly. Very red, tho.

[@boywithallthecomments2832]

@@kathryncargill3015 What does this have to do with anything Adam is putting down? A man unites folks with some glimpses into different parts of the country most of us haven’t seen, and you want to make it divisive. Not cool.

I have gone to the Pigeon Forge area for many years but seeing it with your videos is a amazing and a true blessing!!! Thanks Adam.

[@timandtammytime]

Can't wait for Tim to get home so he can watch this one! We love them all, Adam, but ones like this we especially enjoy! Thanks for sharing this with us! Covered bridges, old overgrown barns, and Abandoned houses right up our alley.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I’m glad a couple still existed around here . The first one was incredible

[@alexpanagiotidis1811]

I like watching lots of old videos in a row especially with his dad running out of petrol and his mum with the little church,also what happened to Cody?

What i need to know what happen to those people ..why all those are abandoned.is like a ghost town.

5:45 - I thought that bridge looked familiar. We randomly happened upon it a couple of years back. Was a little nervous going over it, but it held!

It’s a thing of beauty

[@jclelache7694]

Thank u SO much for the beautiful scenery ,photography and narration. Love the non touristy aspect also. In my mind I live in a modern day log cabin in the woods . Maybe the person who just won billions here in So Cal will make my dream come true. Ha Ha. All rhe best to you as u travel on for yourself and us.😎

[@sandrap6321]

Love the less touristy parts of TN. But sad to see somebody's dream house left to rot. Lesson learned you can't take it with you & its the good deeds that matter.

[@chaddy1207]

Those kind of bridges always remind me of the movie “Funny Farm” when the movers in the U haul truck are trying to decide if they should go through a similar covered bridge or not. Looks a lot like the one in that movie.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It does look like it for sure

[@Mrs_Christa]

Oh my word! That movie is amazing haha!!!

[@gatlinburg-val]

Hi, Uncovered wooden bridges typically have a lifespan of only 20 years because of the effects of rain and sun, but a covered bridge could last over 100 years.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Very interesting . Thanks for the info

[@mebluewater]

I love seeing abandoned old homes. Some of them Makes me want to buy them and fix them up. I have one in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania on 62 acres. Four bedroom farmhouse. I'm going to be listing that for $450k

[@crush41gb]

Love these types of videos and really love that bridge and sounds. :) Nice new aviators/McFly shades btw. Are the bars before the bridge to make sure nothing over 9ft. tries to go through and possibly destroy the bridge? That placard reminds me of Gilmore Gilmore with the D.A.R. :). Also, Beetlejuice and Silver Bullet. The fisherman's camouflage really worked.😉

[@conniecrawford5231]

This was the real Pigeon Forge before tourism arose- the authentic rural TN mountain town!

[@ericsieskel2728]

this is one of your best I love when you do the back roads. What a sound when the autos went over the 1st. bridge

Covered bridges always look great, enjoyed this vid Adam. These videos are your best work just drifting around the backroads and small towns. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@DianaLynne-27]

Love these covered bridges. Being originally from Pennsylvania I lived around covered bridges. A lot of history there. Some day wish you would do a filming location where Bridges of Madison County was filmed. Adam, you do the best history videos. Thank you for sharing. 👍

[@rickardjohnson4524]

There's a covered Bridge built the same way up in Lake Placid area that has been restored and is lovely to cruise through it in Gods Country, Neat, Thanks, Thumbs Up.....

DID ANYONE ELSE CATCH THAT PUNN? THE CREAKYNESS OF THE BRIDGE OVER THE CREEK.

[@rhondaz356]

This was very relaxing, and so enjoyable. I'm with you, Adam. I always wonder about the history of an abandoned home, building, or vehicle.🤔 Those bridges are so lovely. I am surprised there was no weight limit listed on the first bridge! I really enjoyed this change of pace video. 👏🤠👏

[@geneaikenii1092]

Thank you, Adam for covering our little 10-20 so well. You have done a fantastic job of it. We love you and what you do. Watching and loving it from a big fan in Gatlinburg, Tn. Bless you. Peace. Go with God.

[@sw00natra]

Covered bridges always remind me of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. "Over the bridge and turn right." "Left!"

[@thedorseyway]

This video was so peaceful. Adam, I had Friday the 13th vibes when you were filming that bridge through the trees. 🤭

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

I was there back in 2009 on my 9 yr anniversary with my old job. Beautiful scenery!

[@KirkandRA]

I always thought that covered bridge were used to keep horses from getting scared but The original reason for the cover was to protect the bridge's trusses and decks from snow and rain, preventing decay and rot. Uncovered bridges would last only 20 years. Covered bridges last more than 100 years.

[@cherylluigs8984]

The Smokey Mountains are a beautiful area to visit. It is my happy place followed by WDW. Grateful to live only5 hrs fro the area. Best thing to do is rent a cabin up in the mountains, sit on the porch and watch the sunrise and sunset, watch for the occasional bear to saunter by. No better way to rest and recharge. Hike the mountains, drive the arts and crafts trail and enjoy all kinds of handmade goods. Visit the aquarium, the titanic museum, and more dinner shows to enjoy; it is hard to decide on a favorite!

[@judycogan5348]

I love reading the church signs also Adam. This volg was very peaceful and entertaining, thank you

[@aaronjames7073]

The trash cans they had by the bridge with the flaps to keep bears out should be used in the grizzly peak area of California Adventure. Just to keep the theming real, like there are bears in the area.

[@adventuresintvland]

I always enjoy things like this. Thanks for taking the paths not always taken and showing us something a little different.

[@jasong6727]

We went to the Harrisburg Covered Bridge yesterday and it an great experience. We drove over it several times and got out and walked on it. Thank you Adam for pointing this out. We enjoyed going to it. It was cool seeing your video then going there to see the covered bridge

[@dravenlee4473]

It's sad me seeing these abandoned homes in beautiful areas just not being used. I'd much rather live there than these basic 500k homes in the suburbs.

[@robertmcevoy24]

Adam the first one can you imagine a headless horseman trotting across that bridge and the noise it would give off. I grew up in Felton California and we had a covered bridge the volunteer fire department would have a pancake breakfast to raise funds for that old bridge as a kid it was really cool and to this old guy it still is. Thanks for taking us along

[@laMeraFab65]

tbh that opening scene reminded me of a scene in Friend Green Tomatoes..when Idgie and Ruth are walking on the ledge of the waterfall

[@janahumphries3490]

I honestly think I could sit at that covered bridge all day and not get bored. There is something about the mountains that just brings a special peace to your soul. Loved this video!

[@jackers245]

Love the country roads and covered bridges! Have you ever been to Parke County in Indiana it has 31 covered bridges? It's amazing! They even have a covered bridge festival. We always do that once a year and then the Mayberry Cafe and Indiana's Little Niagara.

[@robinlee6295]

While in that area, it would be a great drive to Townsend. The river runs through there, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Lots to explore. Gateway to the Smokies there. We fell in love with the area last summer. Stayed there for 4 days. It's worth the trip, and not far from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge!

[@tammymoore6009]

[@mustangcindy1303]

I love these non touristy videos. Country backroads are the best. I hope to one day move out where the only traffic jam will be from farm equipment riding down the road in front of ya. I didn’t even think of covered bridges when I went there. Well another thing to last to my list when I go back. Love those covered bridges. They just give places a certain ambience that regular everyday bridges don’t. Plus they make for really good photos and I am always on the lookout for places to take those. 📸

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

Here near me in Maryland there is a old historic covered bridge that is haunted and it’s a active bridge like the one in this video.

[@MatCendana]

A very enjoyable viewing, for someone like me thousands of miles away wishing that maybe one day I'd be able to see for myself. Those seemingly `ordinary' features like abandoned houses, country roads etc. are somehow satisfying to see. The covered bridges, of course, are something special. To have it syill in good enough condition saya something about the people who had designed and built them. --Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

[@lisapratt166]

I drive through allot of them here adam, the longest covered bridge in the country is here near me in Cornish NH and reaching Windsor vermont. There are lots of them. We dint have amusement parks here. But we have famous saint Gaudens. So many more historical working farms around also with a historic shaker community etc.

[@claireevans2336]

Totally amazing, love these covered bridges and lovely to see that someone had one built in 2000. Have only seen in movies and love them. Do wonder why covered, if a reason for it, stylish though. Nothing like it in UK, at least not aware of. TFS looking forward to tomorrow's vlog now.

[@marvndave]

These types of videos are by far the greatests ones you do. Mostly when you go to a place you haven't been and we both experience it together. All your videos are good, but these are just on a whole other level.

Peaceful and beautiful. You should visit the covered bridges in Indiana. They have a festival (to sell their homemade wares) in October each year. Several bridges in the area Bridgeton and Rockville. New (and enjoying) to your vlogs. Why "the woo"?

[@sharonproctor4079]

You should rent a cabin up on the mountain. Beautiful quiet experience out in nature. You can always drive down to Gatlinburg for more touristy stuff. The streams and beauty of waking up with the sun coming up. Much better than a motel.

This was an awesome video. The sound of that covered bridge with its creaking when you walked over it and when people would drive over it, amazing!

The covered bridges are beautiful. The 2nd one you filmed reminds me of the movie it's a Wonderful Life.There used to be one where I live, but unfortunately teenagers burned it down a few years ago. My husband went down there after it burnt down and picked up one of the beams for me. It still had the knots on it. I hung it on my front porch. That covered bridge was apart of my childhood. Sadly, it's just a memory now.

[@johndreker1613]

Might I suggest the Coheelee Creek covered bridge in southwest Georgia. I've been there twice and it would be perfect for a video. A park nearby, some desolate roads on the way, a tiny waterfall, and you can safely walk down and go under the bridge without getting more than the bottom of your sneakers wet
