My wife and I will be visiting Tennessee this May for our 10 year anniversary. We were going to stick with Nashville, but I've shown her some of your videos and now Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg is part of the trip. Can't wait! Greetings from the frigid North, more specifically, Wisconsin.

[@jparsons3444]

Driving that close to Gatlinburg without going would be a shame! Have fun on your trip.

[@dazoomcat]

That spin the wheel is the coolest idea for a mini golf course.

[@swampfoxsports]

Thanx, 1st ever trip there in July. Been watching your videos all day. Stay safe to Cali and back! Peace from Florence, SC :)

[@reductobeam]

I was just there last weekend for my birthday and I kept hoping I’d see you filming stuff! Love your stuff!

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Austin... happy belated birthday!! :)

[@GregsVlog]

Gotta get up that way sometime soon. That putt-putt course looked good enough to eat!

[@kelseyg.3195]

Loving the new dashboard Hawaiian girl!

[@mrswheat423]

Thank you for the Gatlinburg footage you do. It is a very special place for my husband and I. We are from Western Kentucky or LBL (Land Between The Lakes). Beautiful area in Kentucky. We havent been back to Gatlinburg since 2017 and a lot of attractions were burned.

[@MrGroove1970]

Thanks for sharing! Hope you feel better soon!

[@antoniorizzo7178]

God I love this channel

[@angeljulie2]

Enjoyed the Cat House. I love cats. Thank you for sharing.

[@carlalorch8650]

I have never been to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg; I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@Yamtronix]

I love the Cat House! Thanks for sharing these places with us.

[@LL-sq8se]

You rock Jacob,take care of that cold! Try not to sweat the job thang.. there are alot of us out here that don't have a traditional job 🤗 it's doable You also have a huge fan base..A wise young man says..we just gotta keep pushing!

[@cookiedakurllzbatgirlbrown5673]

Thanks for letting me see what I’m missing ❤️ I can’t make it up there from home til I can drive again 💛💛💛

[@MrWoahna]

Ahhh.. Moonshine, that will clear your cold right up!

[@serenatwilite4005]

Flu medicine, too.

[@mslaerik66]

[@bigdumbfella5886]

Yay! for some reason I love the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge videos, if Im not mistaken, its how I found your channel

[@jparsons3444]

Same here! Can't get enough of this place.

[@billfarnham1592]

Cosby is also home of the Ramp Festival for all of that area. You oughta check it out.

[@jenniferloreneshepard2993]

I"ve been going to the Smoky Mountain Cat House since I was a little girl. It's a must stop every time we come to the Smokies.

[@burnerpeach80]

That Paula Dean cutout SENT ME

[@susanherrold2436]

Looking forward to sights and sounds of the road trip. Every exciting!!!

[@damianjones7554]

I loved the cat house 😊

[@sadfiremccraven4579]

I really like the mini gulf area . Love u Jacob be safe

[@Brian-bt4fw]

I still need to go to the Crave golf. Looks pretty fun.

[@roguematthews5687]

The candy golf game place and its music kinda reminded me of Dan Bells dead mall series where there empty and semi abandoned. At one time these places would be packed before the era of the high technical age of the millennium

[@jparsons3444]

It's the off season. That place is normally pretty busy.

[@christopherlucas4620]

Awesome! I cant wait to come back to Gatlinburg next month. Thanks for the hiss!!

[@U.S.A..]

Release the Kraken. When you showed the miniature golf and that Dragon that's what it remind me of to release the Kraken

[@telecasterbear]

Rest well, feel better.

[@pirategirl58]

Hi Jacob! Awesome! I loved the candy mini golf and the cat store! You going to meet up with Adam in Cali? Thanks for sharing your trip to Gatlinburg! That gummy worm deserved a possum hiss!

[@serenatwilite4005]

Heck, yeah!

[@Slopapotimus]

I love the giant candy Olmec!

[@dansinbodyexperience]

Watch you every day and I especially enjoy anything you do in the smokies! Thanks for this video

[@timbit72]

For some reason the gummy worm at 9:51 reminds me of Bob Newhart, maybe it's the eyes...

[@BerniceBowling]

I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos and sharing all the places you visit with us

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Thank you!

[@thehamelsduck1600]

Heading there this summer. Thanks for the video. Travel safe.

[@brendablystone5115]

🆒 video Capetbagger

[@poodlenme]

Always fun to watch your videos Jacob. Looking forward to seeing your 100,000 subscribers and more.

[@josephhuffman9318]

You have a great time to California and be careful be safe.

[@KenBillie]

We will be there in a few weeks. Thanks for sharing.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Great video! :)

[@TheNWnick]

The chimera reference was great! If you come to the Pacific NW again, I can put you up in Astoria, Oregon. I know a lot of great filming locations and live just a couple of blocks from the Goonies house/The Goondocks, the Kindergarten Cop school, Short Circuit, Free Willy, Benji The Hunted, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles filming locations, etc. Keep up the good work, and best of luck on with your channel!

[@RhettyforHistory]

It's so odd to not see the large ball in front of Ripley's. My daughter's love that!

[@RaeRae091010]

RhettyforFun it was there last year did they take it out??

[@wijo6234]

It whas there when I went

[@ladybassplayer23]

[@waltersteffensthezr2man431]

[@mcwatersd]

Cool video. Love the storefronts and miniputs. Safe trip. Keep Safe❤ Keep Well❤

[@raymondcline8194]

Hey Jacob, No idea if this camp still lives or not, but when I was a little tyke... My parents sent me and my sister there for week. Camp Ha-La-Wa-Sa. I believe its an Indian name for get rid of your kids for some parent fun time :), Seriously it was a good week as I remember it, sort of a relegious camp in South Jersey Had a few lakes and cabins that the kids stayed in while we were there.

[@southernland5516]

Gosh I Love Pigeon Forge, Tennessee!!

[@ExplorationUnknown]

Hey bro I hope you are having a great day.

[@susand.3540]

Was it John Denver’s face in the clouds? Or maybe it’s the artist that painted the mural.

[@jcg336]

Susan D. I thought it looked like John Denver too!

[@abcanimal]

Jacob,Let me know when you're back in Pigeon Forge. I'll be there in September.

[@estherl2407]

Love the cat house

[@kitterkat007]

That is my favorite store to stop at when I'm there.

[@justinhenderson4961]

Hey carpet bagger my wife and I love your videos we live over here in mars hill and go to pigeon forge and G-burg all the time but we wanted to tell you good luck and hope you can make it full time youtubing and I hope that DSS in your county regrets losing you.......and as far as people calling DSS do they really get any good calls on any of the social workers but anyway good luck again and be safe out there

[@maggieanderson3778]

Oh I have GOT to go to the cat place. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@helenahernandez4123]

This past weekend I was just there!

[@oIivilo]

“Ain’t it funny that cats do drugs” holy shit the abruptness of this comment made me lose it. I’m fueling my cats drug addiction

[@marvincarlton2678]

it sure was quiet around there today!

[@deniseboldea1624]

Hey Jacob, have you ever been to Frankenmuth MI? If you like tourist traps you'll love that place. It even has the world's largest Christmas store (their claim not mine).

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Not been there

[@deniseboldea1624]

There is also the Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad further up from Frankenmuth in Flint MI. I could name off a few more attractions for the next time your in the area if you want, I don't want to bore every one with a long rant.

[@HillbillyNitroUSA]

Carpetbagger, you should go check out the Appalachian museum in Norris Tennessee this spring. It's about 25-30 minutes from PF, just off i75.

[@johnmakin3225]

Come take a visit to Nashville. I can show you around. Thanks for the great vlogs!

[@wiztard_]

10:44 killed me lol

[@griffinartandairbrushing3174]

Nice video, thanks Jacob!

[@sewashburn0529]

Don't you think it would count as Tri-Cities of Sevierville / Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg? They are all kind of tied together. But that might confuse people with the historical Tri-Cities of Bristol / Kingsport / Johnson City.

[@heather9206]

Me and my family are going to Gatlinburg this June! I used to go there growing up,but can’t remember all the things to do. Any more suggestions than in this video? 🙂great vlog👍👍

[@jparsons3444]

Jacob has a lot of videos from Gatlinburg showing many of the attractions. Just search his channel. Also try kzbin.info/aero/PLsms7j9lPLtwpuuHt5lYnaIWl_yp1x-c6

[@Dr170]

4:05 That's Shiny, the little known eighth dwarf, who eschewed his brothers (or whatever they are) penchant for mining to go into, well... his name says it all, really. Oh, and his donkey's name is Moony.

[@dorothykelly2289]

Dr170

[@SMOKYMTNPATRIOT]

So close to Paula Deen's restaurant at The Island. My new favorite. Peace out Jacob.

[@RaeRae091010]

NCPATRIOT Paula Dean is also in Gatlinburg too

[@retrob9346]

Keep up the great work Jacob

[@WhittyPics]

That Cathouse has been there for years. I am disappointed that the dog house seems to be gone now.

[@deweys]

They have live bears in Three bears general store!

[@awkwardBOB]

Jacob's first video on Adam's channel was at the store to see the bears! :)

[@kurtporter4796]

Pretty cool to see a cat place not many around.

[@Listersmate2]

9:28 That looks like the tree from the McDonnald Land commercials of the 1970's & 80's! :-)

[@Katea9tails]

Good to see what is up there cause things are ever changing - I like the touristy trap gift shops or tacky tourist shops as a friend and I call them - when I go on a trip I don't want to spend half my budget on wedge wood china plates or expensive jewelry - so much of the things especially in downtown Gatlinburg have become those - the face in the mural reminded me - we use to take our church youth group up there for a week retreat usually during Spring Break - We often stayed at the Brookside that was up the hill going toward the craft village - they had those old fashioned wall paper murals of outdooor scenes on one wall in the room - mostly streams or green wooded areas and some with deer - but there was this one that when the strips were pasted together it seemed to form a demonic face with the items in the scene - now some of the others had some possible faces that your imagination let you see but this one was very clear looking especially to the group of girls staying there - creeped them out - so they made the Youth Minister come in and pray a blessing on that room and for their protection from any evil spirits lurking with that face - it became a thing that each room tried to find any scary faces or lack of so they knew their room was safe or not - lol - thanks for the drive around and for reminding me of that story

[@lilblueroginger3998]

Awesome be safe in your travels can't wait to see where you go.

[@stankormy5717]

Carpetbagger is back in effect at ol Pigeon forge!

[@djkingdwayne]

jacob,you should head north to punxyawntawny pa for the groundhog festivel that starts on feb 2 when they pull the groundhog out of his stump to see if he sees his shadow or not,that would be a awesome video

[@SouthernExploring]

You're doing it my friend, this is going to work! You're also inspiring people, I posted my first vlog last night!

[@patricethess1488]

A funny random Merimaid but the candy themed Mini golf looked fun

[@huntertomlin3523]

This is so pretty cool

[@BrianSterowski]

I went to the Cathouse a few years ago. I thought it was a cute little store!

[@AndysJourneys]

I really need to get up there to shoot some video. Thanks for the update.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

It’s a wonderland

[@GRAFHC]

Always good to see your videos!

[@noka1979]

I would love to see these little parts of America.. i love America

[@raythefangirl1339]

I've actually been there it's fun and the purple tree looks creepy

[@awkwardBOB]

This should be a monthly segment "What's New in the Smokies?"

[@MrUABama]

That's easy...a new putt putt golf or go-kart track, oh I forgot a new alpine slide...

[@LanceDean]

Thanks for this video, Jacob! More stuff like this!

[@Ripplin]

What happened to the 'Searching for Weird Food with Anna' livestream? Is it gone for good? :(

[@SouthernExploring]

Ripplin - yeah, I missed it too. I clicked it several times that night hoping it would come back but no dice lol.

[@keegsb6645]

I just got home from a trip to pigeon Forge

[@BlueWizardEntertainment]

Could you do another video about ghost town in the sky, Maggie Valley, NC? I really enjoyed your other videos

[@kgoger]

You should come to Long Island to visit

[@Oliverclothesoff1340]

I found this really interesting, I’ve heard of the place before but never knew what kind of attraction it has. I think we’ll have to go there this summer for holidays since I live in Canada.

[@MyNameBorax]

I can't believe the cat house is still around. I went there as a kid.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

She said it’s been there 32 years

[@MyNameBorax]

I will pop in again next time I'm in town!

[@UnpersonDoublethink]

awesome!

[@melanieraleigh4961]

When my mom was alive every time she and dad would go to Pigeon Forge she would always go to the Cathouse and buy more cat tshirts. When she died and we were going through her things she had a pile of shirts from there.

[@serenatwilite4005]

The Cat House is my kinda place, too. Sounds like your Mom knew how to find the fun.

[@petes.6609]

Never liked cat's until I got my Cat now I love all cat's because of her 🐈❤️

[@NuYoukai]

I'm gonna make that noise whenever I see a snake. 😂

[@ginawix5583]

I love it. . . .

[@planetrob555]

Seek out those weird places! THAT'S your niche!

[@melissawinstead8701]

Love it

[@anomaly9746]

Fun video! ^^ I LOVED that giant serpent, that is so freakin cool! And I certainly hope they add color to the water in the juice box fountain. =P That would look awesome.

[@ehrldawg]

Dude. Just move to Pigeon Forge !!!
