[@garryrandolph378]

God bless you guys! I grew up in Augusta, Georgia, and live in St. Augustine, Florida. We usually vacation every Fall in Pigeon Forge, but due to Covid-19 we canceled this year. Your youtubes are very enjoyable, especially for those of us who love Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and surrounding area. Thanks again for what you do, and please be safe!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you Garry

[@Rajimari.88]

So so beautiful!!! Want to go back to the Smokey’s and buy some property ❤️

[@garylipsey3552]

About 5 years ago we had a family reunion in Gatlinburg and hired a local photographer(Rich blessings photography) to do a family picture and she took us to Emertts Cove covered bridge for the shoot. We have a picture of all of the men in the family standing in front of that Chevy truck in the barn that turned out really cool. The truck was parked right to the edge of the barn back then without any barricade. Such a pretty area. Loved you vlog - brought back memories. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you 😊

Thanks for your video. Would like to tour kentucky and Tennessee that way., back roads.

[@faithfletcher8740]

Alabama has a barn quilt trail!

[@stickywicket7585]

I just discovered your channel 3 or 4 months ago and I'm really enjoying it. You guys are so cute together and I absolutely love these gorgeous drives you take us on. I was born and lived in East Tennessee for 50 years but now live in SW Virginia and we don't get back home very much. I miss it SO MUCH. That's why I'm SO HAPPY to have found your channel. You're taking me places that I can't go to most of the time. I take 3 or 4 hours every few days and watch only Yankee in the South videos. It's been very helpful in this time of having to stay home so much. Thank you both SO MUCH for these wonderful videos from HOME!

[@Noneyasauce]

My ancestors are from this area 💗

[@wandak1934]

Thank you Will and Dawn I really enjoyed the ride today. I just wish you had stopped and let me put my toes in the water. When I get to the Smokies I've always put my toes in the water. It was a beautiful ride anyway. GOD BLESS and y'all stay safe.

What absolutely beautiful scenery on Tennessee! Love the beautiful old barns and that house! Looking forward to your next video.

[@trishredding8009]

We just booked a cabin on Pittman Center Rd for this August. It's right on the river and we're so excited! We've never stayed in that area before and it made me happy to see this video. It appears to be in a quiet area, yet close enough to all the attractions. I love your videos!

[@kathydumas2745]

Thank you so much!! That was fun and peaceful, a much needed video to watch! God bless you!

[@juneb7121]

Love it💕 me and my family use to stay at a place out that way on our trips to the mountains. I think it was called Way-flo village. Very peaceful. No TV and no phone.

[@dianapearson1771]

That covered bridge was awesome!

[@brendasellers5290]

Another great video, guys. Always enjoy following you two, helps to relax and unwind. Some of my Dad's ancestors came to the smokies, bought land, raised up homes,farmed those lands and raised their families there. My maiden name was McCarter. I was born and raised in Booneville, Ms, if you'll ever travel down this way. We are located in the extreme N.E. corner of Ms. TC and safe travels you guys.

Thanks for taking us along on this beautiful ride. I love these kinds of videos. Love seeing the Mountains of Tennessee. Look forward to seeing more.

[@Tony-5000]

I came with a camper and no reservations. I asked a person on the street. They said go up 321 past the school and Food City, cross a bridge and I'd see a sign, and to turn left. An old devout Christian couple welcomed me and I spent 8 days. The name, I believe was McDougle. They have since passed. Late 90's and $12/night. I drove all over Pittman and I fell in love with the Smokies. People need to get there and explore. Beautiful area.👍

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing Tony

[@lori4782]

Thank you for getting me outside for awhile. It’s been hard to stay inside with the weather getting so ice. 2020, the year we missed spring.

[@christycleary216]

This was a beautiful video. So calming. Thank you for sharing.

[@bookhead2224]

Thank you so much for this video. This is my all time favorite spot in the mountains. Rented cabins there and fished the creek. It's an awesome place to sit and reflect. The view of the mountains is amazing. I always feel Gods presence when there.

[@uncledavesmovieandtoychannel]

great video!

Did you visit the cemetery there? Some of the graves date back to the 1700's.

[@lesliejames6870]

Will!!!! Did you and Dawn bring your own roster to crow at the right time? That was great. You couldn't get it to ever happen that way again!!!! Lol !! THAT WAS GREAT!

[@dougsyd1662]

Does anyone know what road the old broken down cabin was on? Is this video current? Looks like a peice of land we are looking for.

[@poppyll8426]

Doug Sydboten Call Century 21. That’s the name of the reality. Can’t make out the number. It would probable be a 423 area code.

[@dougsyd1662]

@@poppyll8426 Yeah. I saw the number on the sign and looked on Century 21 but couldn't find it. I hate to call with so little information. If I had a road name that would make all the difference.

[@steveroush4147]

Several years back, just after thy released the Elk into the park, the wife and took a little drive to the southern side of the park to see if we could see the Elk. However... we took a little side road, we were in a mustang and the road was like the one you show here. We ended up at a gigantic whole just before a semi submerged bridge. Now it was very evident that someone didn’t want us to go over that bridge... the problem though was trying to get turned around to get the hell out of there... lol, lol 😂

[@USMC-Veteran73-77]

Dawn and Will, thank you so much for the letting us ride with you. I always enjoy. Greetings from Charleston, West Virginia. Stay safe.

[@steveroush4147]

17:22 Been there done that, unless you like to see junk at NYC prices it’s no big deal. They had a 20# anvil that I tried to buy, I do metal work on commissions, and the damned thing needed a lot of work... they wanted $20.00 a pound. Now the normal price for any anvil is $1.00 a lb. All because of the damned yuppies from up north who want them to put in their flower gardens, or just on the edge of their lawns. I showed them pictures my forge and me working in it but they still said that was their price.

[@marilynhumphreys259]

Love this vlog. Just beautiful.

[@vincent2993]

Great Video. Will and Dawn never disappoint. Thank you so much

[@jamesduckworth3736]

You really need to map this place

[@dianetebbe8762]

Were you able to find out if just the barn was for sale or the barn and the land it was on? Bridge was a find. And you ate correct! If they build a bridge WITH a pedestrian walk way they do need a parking pad!!

[@SheGoneAgain]

The smokies are so pretty. There is something every season.

[@DaleGriffin51]

I love Pittman Center!!! Was just there in March. Thank you for this terrific vlog. They give such great comfort while on lock down!! Stay safe!
