[@mikeandheather]

You are right, especially ones with rainbows! Thank you for watching, we really do appreciate it 😀

[@alanwilliamson6421]

​@Mike and Heather we just got back from Chittenango waterfall ourselves. 😊

[@jazziered142]

That is such a beautiful park. Take me home country roads.

[@mikeandheather]

We thought so too! Thank you for watching 😀

[@3generations393]

Perfect timing to catch the beautiful fall leaves 🙏🙏💞

[@mikeandheather]

We thought so too 😊 Thank you so much for watching!

West Virginia is one most beautiful states and I hope to explore it more than I've done so far. This is a beautiful state park. Thanks for sharing 😊👍

[@mikeandheather]

You are right! West Virginia is a beautiful state and has quickly become one of our favorites, especially on the East Coast. We hope to explore it more in the future as well 😊 Thank you so much for watching, we really do appreciate it!

I never realized just how beautiful W. Virginia is. Visited in fall 2021, fell in love and went back fall 2022 (I was there a week after you!) They have some beautiful state parks (visited 5) and our newest national park, New River Gorge. Thanks for the visit. ✌🏻💕

[@mikeandheather]

We didn't realize how beautiful West Virginia was either! Honestly, we did not have any real expectations of the state but were pleasantly surprised by all it had to offer. It has become one of our favorite states on the East Coast for sure. We would love to visit the other National Parks there as well! Thank you so much for watching 😊 Happy exploring!

Thanks so much!

[@thujan7]

babe wake up. mike and heather just posted

[@mikeandheather]

Sorry for the irregular posting times, we are the worst alarm clock ever haha Thank you so much for watching 😊

[@OffbeatLiteracy]

I likely would've been won over by another video you both have done with the style of videography, music, and both of your personalities. I just happened to search blackwater falls videos since I'm taking my kids to stay in a cabin there first week of July. Even though I'm a native West Virginian I haven't been there since I was a kid. Thank you for this video shining light on one of the better parts of our state. I'm now subscribed with notifications on and ready to delve into your other videos and follow your future travels! Cheers Mike and Heather! Also great name Mike 😅

[@mikeandheather]

You are too kind! Thank you so much for the support and for watching, we really do appreciate it and you! We hope you and your family have a wonderful time on your trip. West Virginia and that area in particular are absolutely beautiful!

[@pamcummings1188]

I live here in WV right outside of Charleston. Have a wonderful visit.

[@mikeandheather]

Small world! Thank you so much for the well wishes and for watching, we really do appreciate it 😊

[@roadtripmitch]

Holy C*** your sister is so cute! My buddy did a very similar swing-set in AK, we were laughing so hard I almost didn't get a photo. I like twisty and windy, steep is OK, I drive a little faster, maybe a lot Lol, looks like Europe from my YT experience. You're a trooper Heather, good job. You can air-down on those rough roads but your turning will be soft/slower and you have to air back-up. Go to Overland Expo you'll learn all this stuff. Nice video guys, a BnB in a fire tower, don't go during fire season! Safe Travels!

[@mikeandheather]

And she knows it too! haha Those swings are well made but it is still hard to trust something with adult weight when you know very well it would snap if you were to go on a normal playground one. Worth it though 😊 Thank you so much for watching, we really do appreciate it!

[@trailcampete5119]

grate video mike and heather ...cheers

[@mikeandheather]

Thank you for the kind words and for watching, we really do appreciate it and you 😊

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

West Virginia looks stunning with the fall colours. USA has spectacular waterfalls and state parks. Your camp looked gorgeous. You guys would love Australia. We have heap of free camping grounds.

[@mikeandheather]

Australia is very high on our bucket list! We have been tossing around the idea of international travel as our next adventure, a van life road trip through Australia sounds amazing 😊

[@CappuccinoDrives]

I drove through WV a few times. Last time was memorable. I was heading up from LA on US11, and upon entering WV I drove past gentleman's club after gentleman's club 😅

[@mikeandheather]

Too funny!

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I normally just drive through West Virginia. I am hoping to visit New River Gorge National Park next year.

[@mikeandheather]

That's a National Park we would like to visit in the future as well! You will have to let us know how your experience goes 😊 Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it!

[@neilmorrlle8197]

I know you said the fall colours were past their peak but I thought the trees looked amazing! As always thank you for sharing. It’s Football by the way not soccer, I thought all Americans were Wrexham AFC fans these days, and know the correct name for the sport😆 (I’m only teasing). On a more serious note, I was thinking only the other day how well organised your national parks / areas always appear to be. Even to the point where the number of people is regulated on anyone day in some of them. We have just had our first (post Christmas) bank holiday of the year and Snowdonia was rammed, I wish they would take a leaf out of your national park service hand book….

[@mikeandheather]

You are too funny! And right about American's interest in Wrexham, Mike has been following their journey closely haha Calling it football probably makes too much sense! Thank you so much for watching! We had a great time exploring the National Parks and are glad you are enjoying them too 😊 Hopefully you get to explore the parks for yourself one day, and hopefully we are able to catch a Wrexham game some day as well lol

[@cricket1984]

I see much from your videos. I am not a hiker and would need to cough up a lung on all those stairs. Keep up the good work.

[@mikeandheather]

Don't worry, we got the full experience! There may or may not have been a lot of coughing and heavy breathing off camera haha Thank you for coming along, we are glad you can join us on our adventures 😊
