That's a pretty area. Like that cabin, and the history. Lol, Akela always a big stick. 😊👍

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

He likes his sticks, not sure why, he just chews them up !! Good to See you Susan

[@INFINITYSWAGGER1]

Cool area and Gorgeous Shep!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks 👍. He surely thinks so.

[@wendingourway]

Find many trees cut in similar fashion here in our provincial parks system in Nova Scotia...so I asked a ranger...his reply was that it is done as a precaution, a thinning of the forest, and cut in lengths for quicker decay and allows for a variety of habitats...sounds good anyway...lol...thanks for the adventure...

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Its an Aweful waste of a good resource. There is no such thing as "Over Crowded". They have finally figured that out. When I went to school they were always trying to "Cull the Elephants", the wolves, The Reindeer, etc. Now they know that they are an important part of the ecosystem and help control all kinds of cycles. Thanks for the comment!

[@carolmiller5947]

As always, fun to explore with you two

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks, Hope the little spider didn't scare you ! It is getting closer to Halloween!

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

Well here I am at the Stony Fork Campground in Jefferson National Forest near Walker Mountain Overlook. Decided I would come and check out your beautiful state of North Carolina. Leaving in the morning because I'm just passing through.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Well come and enjoy. The "furnace" seems to be on the fritz this week, but it will be back up a warming next week. Enjoy, and thanks for the comment !

[@james23p]

Nice video as usual Rick!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks James, I always appreciate a nice comment !

[@chiefonelung3416]

a lot of those trees in the beginning of your video that were cut into logs and then the one long one almost like a telephone pole might have been Canadian hemlocks that had succumbed to The Woolly adelgid infestation. It has wiped out most of the old ancient Canadian hemlocks in the Southeastern US. The giant virgin ones are gone at Joyce Kilmer Forest also. So sad. Thanks for the video. I love all of those areas myself I may see you around sometime in that area. I go quite often. Just me and my little dog.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks again, No Those trees weren't cut diseased, they were in their prime. But I did see some with the Adelgid on other trees. So the infestation continues to spread.

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

Nice to know about Donley Cabin. Hadn't heard of that. How long of a hike was it from the parking area? Thanks for always putting new places out there. I've followed some of your traveling spots because of what you show and I really enjoy it. thanks!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

I't can't be much more than 1/4 to 1/2 a mile. Nice little hike, only took us about an hour..LOL (I'm getting old and easily distracted). Thanks for the kind words!

[@meinschatzi8978]

Thanks for posting... is that unusually high temp for this time of year? Always learn something when the watch!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Not at all. Its still in the high 70's and 80's (Fahrenheit) here in October, those videos were done in early September.

[@DrJohn493]

Just visited this cabin two weeks ago. Sounds like you know you're way around a chainsaw and felling trees.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

I have fell a few trees...LOL. I went to a forestry college, Forestry techniques was a required subject and then there was a Lumberjack team for competitions. You learn a lot when you do it for competition.

[@ATravelingAddictSolo]

I thought of you when we went to the camping place to look for my dad's camper he's wanting to buy (Scamp 5th wheel) and saw your A liner there. Good video!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

A scamp 5th wheel?? That's got to be a major camper!! Thanks for stopping by!

[@ATravelingAddictSolo]

@@GoingNoWhereFast it's only 19 ft but is a 5th wheel.. finding out they are hard to come by. 2.5 yr wait for a new one. He's looking used now.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

@@ATravelingAddictSolo IF he can wait a year, there will be a lot of various RV's for sale in fall of 2021

[@ADKMan]

When you started into the cabin, the first thing that popped into my mind was the “Blair Witch Project”. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

I was wondering what was going to jump up and run out of the cabin myself. It was all open and dark, not the best way to find a cabin in the woods!

[@GimpyCamper]

I passed by this when scouting the dispersed campsites this week. I was wondering what it was. Also wanted to let you know. We have a FB group for camping/adventure channels that is over 200 channels strong if you want somewhere additional to share your content. It's called Camping KZbin Community Support

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Hey, That sound pretty cool. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the tip!

[@LoveMtDulcimerMusic]

Really enjoyed seeing the complete (with “bathroom”) tour of the Donnelly cabin. Amazing those beavers can create all that change to the environment and they don’t need an engineering degree or permits. We humans think we are superior???? LOL

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

And though it looks like a lot of destruction, they are really doing a lot to stop flooding, filter the water, and make the land much more fertile! Good little animals ! Thanks for the comment. Always good to "see" you !

[@FireFighter1512]

Official website says the cabin pre dates the civil war, so maybe mid 1800s. $35.00/night. Had a beaver dam on my property. Killed a bunch of trees and flooded a farm field. Have not seen them in the last few years, maybe they're harassing someone else! Nice video......................

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

The flooded field is probably the best place to farm once the water dries up, Yes, it is supposed to be a true representation of the way people lived in the mountains before the Civil War.

[@SaxonTerror]

That damn dog is supposed to be on a leash

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Not true, Not in the national forest.

[@SaxonTerror]

@@GoingNoWhereFast oh yes they are. They are to be physically restrained at all times on a trail in a national forest just the same as in a campground. You might want to know the laws of what national forest and campground you are in.
