The Ark looked absolutely amazing. I'm speechless and totally in awe of it. The trails and campsites were beautiful. I love nature. I can see why you guys did not want to leave.

[@chasingsunsetsrv]

Yes, yes, and yes! We’re so blessed to have these experiences and enjoy being able to share them with you all! Our entire trip through Tennessee and Kentucky was wonderful from start to finish, and we’re eager to get back on the road for the next adventure! Thanks for watching and we hope you have a wonderful week 🥰💛🤗

[@karenmar1529]

@@chasingsunsetsrv Thank you, you too! 🤗

[@leighwitty8715]

I'm so glad you loved Kentucky because a lot of Kentucky folks love you all! The Ark Encounter is amazing! Y'all come back now, you hear?!?!

[@sherrywilliams409]

Girl, I’m with you on being scared of bad weather. I panic and I live alone. Y’all just keep having fun bc following y’all I’m having fun too! These trips aren’t something I would go on alone. My husband passed away with brain cancer four years ago. We were a lot like your parents. I really miss him! Y’all just enjoy yourselves

[@kaystarnes269]

@sherrywilliams409, 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sandradummer4726]

Sherry,I’m so very..very sorry for your loss of your hubby. Did y’all have a great marriage? Just asking out of curiosity, not all marriages are good at all.

[@stephaniefox9701]

OH! My SWEET Bunkies!!! I think it will be a unanimous vote… That the channel changes from chasing sunsets to chasing storms! 😂😂😂 I L❤VE y’all so much and I always pray for your safety, and that the three of you are well and make it through each of these amazing, sunsets and storms! Thank you for this wonderful video❤

[@rebeccajacobs8915]

Welcome to Tennessee. Kentucky and Tennessee have some of the Best camping. And beautiful waterfalls. Enjoy your special days here.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Another beautiful trip !! Amazing travels . You should pick up a small stone from every city and write the name of the town and state you travel to and put in a jar or clear glass container and start rock memories of your travels ! Would be something from travel memories in the RV . Loved spending time with both your smiling faces !!

[@dianalester1351]

Being in Nature, Humbles❤ me, I am thankful to see Nature at its finest

[@SherryMC-w2z]

I’m from KY and so glad you enjoyed your visit here! The Smokies is our favorite vacation spot! The next time you visit, make sure you get that parking pass!!!!!!!! If you will be parked at least 15 minutes at any place in the national park you will need a tag. If not, you are risking getting towed. You will be stranded in the park. No joke. They are very strict. Also, just bc a tag is purchased, you are not guaranteed a parking spot anywhere. Pulling off on the side of the road is no longer allowed. You must be parked in a designated parking spot. Everything Autos is a local KZbin channel down there….towing company and they have videos of cars being towed all the time. Check them out! I am so glad that didn’t happen to y’all!!!

[@christinesimmonds3553]

Brian, you are correct. You need to make your way West. So many beautiful states. Arizona with the red rocks, Grand Canyon, and other canyons, also snow in Flagstaff. Idaho, Utah, Montana and Wyoming are beautiful too. Oregon, has a desert, forest and really nice dunes and beaches. My state of Washington (you would both love it). Has so much water, lakes, beaches, etc. The mountains, espeically the big ones are cool. We also have a desert, and beautiful forests, even a rainfrost. You can rent a boat and go around to some of the islands or go on a tour. We have the ferrry boats that are fun to drive or walk on. There are wineries here and in Oregon. You need to staty at least a month or more. Come in the spring, it's the best time!!! I really enjoy watching you guys. So happy that you get to go on your journeys at a young age. Keep living your best life!!!

[@beanie7547]

Fruity pebbles calms everything down. The fruity pebbles marshmallow treat bars can create world peace. At least in a home of all daughters being hormonal😂

[@lisak5328]

I don’t know how I missed this one when you first posted, but glad y’all enjoyed our grand state of Kentucky! We know it’s great but love to hear that visitors think so too

[@debbiewoods4232]

Love your adventures! I'm from East Tennessee so I love to see people appreciate our Great Smoky Mtns.😊

[@opaloakley]

Whoa! I clicked on this video, having no idea you'd be walking through Georgetown (my hometown) as soon as it began! 😮😮😮 I would have been so excited to run into you guys! 😊

[@vickimccay9101]

The Smoky Mountains is my happy place. Every where you look you can see God’s work and beauty. I always get my peaceful and my soul fills with Gods glory and I find myself closer to God.

[@dhigdon0629]

Love Love Love the Smoky Mountains National Park. Enjoy and Thanks for taking us along.

[@kimtaylor4622]

If you haven't been to Cades Cove you have to go. Wild life, old cabins,places to hike and abrams falls. Best time to see wild life is early morning and late afternoon. Cades Cove is my favorite place in the Smoky Mountains.We have been going for 23 years now.

[@beanie7547]

Live historical events are so wonderful. We do as many as we can. We really loved the Old Testament tabernacle which had the arc of the covenant replicated as well as the Plymouth plantation In Plymouth Mass. we always take a role in the re-enactments at Gettysburg. So much fun to live it as well as learn about things.

[@vickiebelk635]

I can’t wait to go to Kentucky. It looks amazing! The Ark looks ginormous! So breathtaking!

[@leeshc5952]

This is in my bucket list ever since I saw the Ark on Kirk Cameron’s KZbin channel! ❤

[@pollylambdin9414]

Loved the ark, I am a believer in the scriptures!!!! Thank you both.✝️

[@bettyblevins8085]

We had the privilege seeing The Ark shortly after the first opened. Would love to go and see it again. Glad you both enjoyed it.

[@tammyg2631]

Every-time we camp it rains!! We are known as the rain wispers! We camped in flagstaff Arizona a couple years ago we joked about us being rain wispers at check it. They were at a level four burn ban could do any kind of fires no bbqs on our gas bbq nothing. 4th of July it not only rained it poured so had you couldn’t see to drive. Next day level 2 could bbq & hike in the parks, the parks were also closed so no one could make a fire & start a forest fire!

[@melpeacock977]

Thank you for this video- I feel it showed the awesome grace and mercy of God. From the ark where He protected his creation to your walking through the majesty of that same creation. God is so good to us!!

[@matthartlage889]

When y’all come back to Lexington Ky. Be sure and save a day for a trip to La Grange Ky. Hallmark has filmed there, HGTV did an episode there, it’s one of the few not places in the US to see a train come right down Main Street on the actual street, the track is built into the pavement. And tons of history in the little town. And we just happened to be in HGTV episode of Hometown Takeover. I’ll even show you around if you want! You’ll love the small town charm.

[@pambrown5401]

I can never get enough of Tennessee and I am looking forward to seeing the Ark in Kentucky. I always enjoy these videos!

[@leanne.arrington]

We fell in love with The Ridge several years ago and love love love it!! Their sites are phenomenal and it's centrally located to the hot spots.

[@Colleen1978]

LOL...I'll have to try the fruity pebbles to calm down during a storm! That looked like a great campground. Can't wait to explore the Smokies! Great video!

[@itshannah8972]

Bunkey eating his fruity pebbles during the storm is a whole mood.

[@lisawright9626]

When it storms bad and very windy bring your slides in.

[@reginadeadrick2902]

So many folks have advised me that THE ARK ENCOUNTER is a "must do"; thanks for sharing your thoughts. I love your videos and RV/camping adventures as you continue chasing sunsets!

[@sydneykasmar]

It's easy to see why you wouldn't want to stop Rving. The sunset at the end seem to bless all the other wonderful and beautiful places you visited. It was gorgeous!

[@chasingsunsetsrv]

🙌🏻🥰💛

[@sandyharris3498]

Oh, my goodness! My grandparents’ neighbors - in West Swanton ~ aka “Hog Island, Vermont - were named Bohannon! ❤️

[@DW702-jw]

What a beautiful adventure Except for the storm but glad your ok That sky was gorgeous You guys are so blessed to be able to do this 👍 The ark was awesome Keep enjoying life and keep sharing because I love it ❤️

[@chasingsunsetsrv]

So sweet, thank you!! We’re so blessed and thankful for being able to do so, and love being able to share the adventure/experiences with you all! We hope you have a great week! 💛🥰

[@okiefarmerswife7154]

Kentucky! You’re in Maranda Christine’s neck of the woods. 🥰🥰

[@debblws1961]

The Ark encounter is amazing

[@robinjordan1238]

I laugh so hard at him eating cereal 😂 I do the same thing I eat a cookie when there tornado warning

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Just the pick me up I needed this evening. I'm battling a bad Crohn's flare-up and y'all always lift my spirits. I've always wanted to go to the Ark. I heard it's amazing. Glad y'all survived the crazy storms. Y'all need to check out Ryan Hall, y'all and Meteorologist Andy Hill for your weather updates.

[@lisawilson5662]

Hoping to go to the Ark soon, but I cant walk long distance so trying to figure that out. The spot you stopped in the Smokies by the river is our swimming hole! Great spot for little kids to swim. Yes if you stop longer than 15 minutes you need the parking pass, and yes they are towing people for being along the road parking and no parking pass . So Be aware! Plenty of youtube videos showing them being towed. Been visiting for 30+ years in the Smokies and the feeling you get there is amazing!! Refreshes your soul! Thanks for sharing!

[@lisalisa4385]

The entire time I was watching y’all in the woods I was so anxious. We were in a cabin over Labor Day weekend up sky mountain rd. As soo. As we pulled up to the door. Got out to unlock the door. A bear got completely IN our brand new mustang got some groceries and took them. I was panicked. We have a video of it. Crazy

[@rhondasorrells9408]

Such an awesome adventure. I hope Daisy Mae is better. You are such a sweetheart couple. I hope your next adventure is a safe trip and have a great time. You both are enjoying life and give everyone so much pleasure watching you. Love y’all ❤️

[@amandawoodson1398]

We love camping in Ohio. Mohican State Park is beautiful! Hope you are enjoying your vacations!

[@Luwanasue]

The Ark Encounter is on my bucket list. What a wonderful experience and adventure except for the tornado warning, especially in a camper. I live in East Tennessee 30 minutes from the smoky mountains and we also had a tornado warning while we were in a camper in the Cherokee national forest in Tellico Plains Tennessee at Indian boundary campground. We always go to the nearest bathhouse if the camper starts shaking I’m on my way to the bathhouse pronto. I’m glad you got to enjoy the rest of your visit after the storm.❤

[@christygoddenhomes]

Out of all the rv videos i follow, you guys are by far my favorite! I always look forward to new content.

[@LindaKaufman]

I totally agree, the Ark Encounter is a must see! Amazing!!!! My honey and I just came back from Yellowstone/ Grand Teton…. you have got to make a trip out there, absolutely breathtaking!

[@chasingsunsetsrv]

We’d love to make it out there someday! Thanks for watching and we hope you have an amazing week! 🤗💛

[@kayefink8293]

Headed into work today, gonna make sure Ronnie knows you have him a shout-out (if he hasn’t already watched) lol

[@deborahmoore1111]

That’s the same campground we stayed in when we visited the Ark in 2020. We were at the Ark the second day that they had reopened from being closed because of Covid. Loved it.

[@chasingsunsetsrv]

How cool! Whispering Hills campground was great and located perfectly to so many experiences! We really enjoyed the Ark Encounter, Georgetown, and the beautiful Kentucky landscape! 💛🤗

[@katherinehedges1946]

Love the bunkeys. Beautiful scenery.

[@marymowry83]

We love the Ark and Creation museum! If you go back to KY go to Slade, KY and Red River Gorge! It is gorgeous.

[@solarenergysystemsllc]

Visiting the ARK! What a neat experience.

[@littlebug1026]

My daddy was born in Casey County, KY in Science Hill on a farm in a little cabin. He was apparently allergic to breast milk and cow's milk as he could not keep either down. Believe it or not his Aunt Lizzie came up with a tomato juice concoction and he loved it. That is how my AMAZING daddy made it! My gram and gramps ended up buying the farm that they lived on the edge of when I was a tiny girl. I remember lots of folks standing all over the front yard of this big farmhouse and an auction going on. I was standing between my dad and gramps. I must have been 4 or 5 at the time and my grandpa won the farm in the auction!!! 180 acres of pure beauty. Apples, an acre of blackberries, plum trees, pastures for cows, a spring with big ol' crawdads! Barns and hay and ponds! And I had my own horse and I named her "Bright Eye"s. Kentucky and Tennessee are probably my favorite states. Oh how i miss our times on the farm. I love watching your videos and I know TMI! SORRY. :) You two are so cute!

[@paulam9838]

My mother in law just moved from Science Hill, KY. It is BEAUTIFUL there.

[@Imperfecthomemaking]

We love staying at claughboughs camp ground down in wears valley road. So convenient to everything and we love that most of the campground is shaded. It’s been here forever I think 😊

[@jenasmith5467]

What a fun trip! I live near the smoky mountains. We go up and just park by the road and play in the river many times.

[@donnabarten1482]

We’re in Myrtle Beach this week. Taking a drive over to Murrell’s Inlet and Pawleys Island tomorrow. Maybe we’ll see you out and about !

[@jaynejohnson6233]

Thank you for sharing the Ark. You guys are the best

[@sharonpeters1899]

If you love horses, my recommendation is to go to the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, It is beautiful, I've been there many, many times they have a lot of things to do.

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

The Ark looks like such a great place to visit! And that last place was just gorgeous! I'm glad y'all were safe through the storm. ❤

[@robylove9190]

I'm glad you got to stay a couple of extra days.

[@lisamcgee1345]

Tons of Bears in Cades Cove. Elk at the North Carolina Visitors center.

[@ashleylaurenprice]

What a special trip! So fun seeing where you went!

[@margiecraig9884]

If you go back, go to the Creation Museum . We stayed at Whispering Hills RV Resort, too.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Yes! In a storm like that, get out and go to a safe place. We have sat in the bathhouse several times. After staying in the camper in a 65 mph straightline wind with rain and ping pong ball sized hail (that totaled our camper)...never again! Get to safety. That's wisdom. We sat in the bathhouse at Anchor Down on two different trips. I loved the ArkEncounter... it's on our list. Y'all are so fun to watch. Great video. Pigeon Forge/Townsend area is so pretty. Glad to find you and looking forward to following along. Safe travels! ❤️ 🙏 from SC, Jane

[@kristinahudson303]

I need to see that Ark one day, wow! I bet that was something to see. Another great video!

[@kristinaaids2269]

I live at the base of the Smokies! I love it here. I need yo take a trip to the Ark. I was counting back to that storm and I think that was the EF2 that touched down by me lol scary in a camper for sure. Glad y'all are ok.

[@christeenprice5637]

Thanks for sharing your experience with me 👍👍👍

[@andreaf5497]

Oh my goodness that looked like so much fun.

[@lauragilbert2517]

You guys need to come explore Utah 😊. So much red rock through Zions and Bryce Canyon. I bet you guys would love it!

[@Luwanasue]

I’m glad you got to enjoy your visit to our beautiful Smoky Mountains here in East Tennessee. The Pigeon River is beautiful, but always cold 🥶 no matter how hot it is you should visit again in the spring and summer and go tubing down the pigeon river. It’s breathtaking.❤

[@cherylritchie5389]

I luv traveling with you. I LIVE IN Ky. It is a beautiful state.Glad you had a great time.

[@lindaroper6698]

I love the Mountains.

[@user-qg8qu6gg4s]

That storm looked scary! I really don't like thunderstorms, hail, tornados, etc. I take the cats and hide in the basement.

[@cynthiafrance6741]

wow , just told my daughter about the ark , so love it thanx for sharing have a great day

[@campinwiththeconfers]

We have ridden more than one storm out in a shelter house! We love Anchor Down and will be there in a couple of weeks but we plan to tour The Ridges while we are down there so thanks for the sneak peek. Hiking in the Smokey’s is awesome!

[@pammusarra8705]

I so enjoy your camping & cooking videos!

[@macelliusa4451]

Get an air tag for your car so you can always find your way back.

[@mistimeece4620]

When you come back to Lexington (my hometown!) you need to visit Midway. Very cute town and you must visit Midway Bakery and Wallace Station...You WON'T be disappointed.

[@juliebolduc802]

So glad you took the time to see the Ark Encounter. We flew our 84 year old mom up (from Florida) and took her. It was amazing. We had a couple of really bad storms while in the Keys last year. One was so bad, my husband was about to hook the camper back up to the truck because he said it was rocking. The boats at the dock were all over the place and the owners were scrambling to get them anchored better our out of the water. I slept through the worst one!

[@lisagraves3629]

Love watching your adventures!! But remember to always get a parking pass and NEVER park on the side of the road in the grass or in “do not park areas”. Rangers have tow service for illegal parks on speed dial. And it’s very expensive to get your vehicle back AND you have to get an Uber or ride to the impound yard. We love the Smoky Mountains and can’t wait to get back soon.

[@bonniepwtf]

That sunset was amazing. I see you both had your Jimmy Buffet shirts on, was that a tribute to his passing? The Ark, wow!

[@chasingsunsetsrv]

Mr. B has always been a big Jimmy Buffett fan, but this trip was taken prior to his passing 😔 Although when we did go back to edit the video footage it was sentimental to see us wearing the shirt 🥲 Thanks for watching and we hope you have a wonderful week! 💛

[@bonniepwtf]

@@chasingsunsetsrv Love you Jess💌

[@susiefarnell785]

The Ark is amazing my daughter and I went last year!!

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

That was a fun adventure! Thanks for sharing!! From weathering a scary storm to the most magical, unplanned stops along the way (my favorite). Precious moments that you'll remember always. Cheers 🦋🦋😊

[@AmyMartindill]

What a fun trip!!!! That ark is on my list. Storms scare the poop out of me in the camper! We were once camping on the tallest mountain in Arkansas in our first camper, which was a POP-UP, and the wind was non-stop and INSANE. I prayed the Lord if He got me off that mountain, I’d never go back. 😂 That sunset at the end was breathtaking!! I love your new channel so much! ❤

[@jamiejocribbs9216]

Ark looked amazing!!

[@jenniferzink8303]

Next time y'all go to Kentucky you need to go to Natural Bridge and Red River Gorge. I want to say it's near Lexington area. My BFF lives in that area and took me there it's amazing. The Judds actually used Natural Bridge in a video.

[@Chell1496]

Wow! The Arc experience and The Great Smoky Mountains. I have always wanted to see them. Thanks for sharing. Both were beautiful as well as all those butterflies! 🍂

[@anngosda7333]

I love your travel videos, my husband and I don’t travel so it’s so fun to watch you having fun.

[@kathyhicks1345]

I love the Smokey Mountains! Breathtaking! You must do Anakeesta. It's all decked for fall. Just visited it today.

[@lindaroper6698]

They probably have plants there to attract the Butterflies.

[@normajones4792]

We went to the Ark a few years ago and it was so awesome.

[@jodymorris9590]

Just breath taking.

[@dorenenagy564]

Make sure when you come back through Kentucky you check out Bardstown. You will love it also. I was in Georgetown about the same time you were. I would have loved to meet you all in person. Not that I'm a stalker, but I think it's great when you run into KZbinrs you watch. I was born in Kentucky but now live in West Virginia. I love coming back home as often as I can. Kentucky is a great state. So, so much to see. You all stay safe, stay well. 💛

[@ourrvtracks]

We LOVED the Ark! We can’t wait to go back!!! Great video as always! Glad you guys made it through the storm ok! That was intense!

[@donnak.8422]

Fruity Pebbles all the way! I'm not a hiker; I'm the 1 that would be afraid of seeing a bear!

[@rachelbruce3284]

Daisy May saved you guys. Animals know when bad weather is coming way before we do. 😊

[@priscillabrowning3494]

Several years ago we went to the Smokey Mountains so I could walk up to Clinamen's Dome and do not remember getting a parking pass. I got to the top, but could not see anything as the cloud cover and fog was very dense, but at least I can say I did walk to the top. You are correct the park is beautiful, the wildlife is fantastic we saw a couple of black bears. We left the Smokey Mountains and traveled to Tucka leche Caverns and went down in and took the tour of the caverns.

[@annh.]

Parking passes are new for the Smoky Mountains this year.
