Thank you Sandra 😊
I too want to go back in time in history. I het a very special nostalgic feeling of tye life and times of the pioneers. TY
Dawn looks so pretty. Hair looks great
Oh thank you!
Beautiful place almost like a Cades Cove trip. Thanks Will n Dawn for having this. Rob Goldsmith. I will perhaps try this location next trip in
Just imagine waking up to that every morning on your porch what a beauty
What a beautiful place to visit. I love the butterfly's. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Nancy
Wow so beautiful would love to site see a place like this thank you for sharing
I have a very old home, when we took down ceiling tiles underneath was wood with old newspapers pasted to the boards. I took some of the paper with date off carefully and saved them, we wrote what yr we bought the house and our names on a board with nothing on it. We put a new ceiling up, but we know what is under it. This house has been an adventure 😊 So much to do in the Smokey’s!
Beautiful! Love seeing the historic places of times gone by. I’m amazed at how well they are maintained and have stood time! Thank you!
thanks Liz
Wow!!! Great views! We loved the old antique structures of old! Thank you for sharing Will and dawn!
UFO CARTOONS
One of my favorite places. Cant wait to go back. I was there all day and still didnt see everything. Lots of cemeteries and buildings 🙂 encoutered bats at Woodys cabin. Wont go back to that one. 🙂 also lots of snakes
The best time to be at Cataloochee is around 3pm until dark. or dusk. The elk will start coming out of the woods on the back field. Past the Caldwell house. Some of the bull elk will gather around the Ranger's station and barn beside of it. and across the road of the ranger station. On my page, we went in Agust and the bull elk came out, on that back field crossing the blocked road back there...He was calling his cows...lol. It was amazing.
It was a beautiful day. Some great looking video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the butterflies we dont get many here last year i only saw 3 butterflies all summer
Thanks Mary
Mary Dugan Plant flowers that attract butterflies and you will see lots!
We have Lantana growing in our yard. The butterflies love it and you don't have to tend it at all. Just cut it back in the winter. It grows super fast.
We went to Cataloochee several years ago but did not stop to see all the churches, school or homes. So thanks for the great tour of the buildings. We did see a lot of elk on the day that we were there. Thanks for the video tour - it was awesome.
Lookout dawn for the Bigfoot.lol gosh it’s beautiful there love the scenery Palmer chapel is beautiful loved all those butterflies
Such a beautiful area. Loved the old church and all those butterflies. Amazing. Cheers guys xx
Thank you Helga
thank you for another amazing and informative video. The scenery took my breathe away.
Thanks Cynthia
This is remarkable, how well these Homes, Barns, Cabins and Church built over a Century ago, look so well, (Maintained).
I can well imagine the way of life, in the turn of the century.
Never knew that a trail could have so much History behind it.
Well another trail, another beautiful story
👍👍👍❤👍👍👍🎥
Great Video!😉

Thanks Angela
That was gorgeous Will & Dawn! Thanks! 😝👍👌🎉
Thanks Loran
Loved this place!! We drove up a couple years ago in Oct and there was a hurricane that came up with us. Just a cat 1-2 wasn’t much. But we ended up driving out that way to miss the hurricane. It was such a beautiful drive . We went through a national forest starting with an N. Nahtal something. But we ended up in Cherokee and went over the mountains to Gatlinburg. We hit the rain and wind up on Newfound gap. Could t see much.
Anyway, that drive through North Carolina of the interstate was really beautiful. Maybe we will do that again and go and see this♥️♥️♥️
We were probably there at the same time we came home and ended our vacation early😣 everything started filling up with people fleeing from storm.
How cool is that!!! ♥️♥️♥️
That was the vacation hubby was in a hurry to leave and packed his golf clubs and a few bags. Forgot our SUITCASE!!!! So we had to spend money on clothes. Lol. We did a lot of sightseeing. 😂😂
@@nickiewhodat273 That's hilarious! Glad they have all those outlets to shop.
Thanks Nickie
A very good video!
Thanks nc mountainman
Hey Will and Dawn, Thanks for Sharing Cataloochee Valley with us. I did not know that was there. On my next visit we will be visiting this area for sure. Keep up the great Video's!!!!!!!!
Thanks Bill
There are 2 hikes in Cataloochee I recommend and fairly easy. At the very end of the road where you have to turn around is the Rough Fork Trail, easy flat hike 1 mile to the Palmer House, another restored home in the valley. The Caldwell Fork trail and Boogerman Loop Trail that you passed on the way in, lots of big trees and it is easy to moderate but there was a couple log bridges washed out and you have to ford the creek but no big deal.
Thanks for sharing Brain
I am happy Bigfoot didn't get you two! 🤣 Another wonderful video! Can't wait for the next adventure!
Thanks Dixie Mom
Thanks Will & Dawn .. i am putting this down on our "things to do/see list" for our trip to the Smokies in October. Beautiful scenery indeed !!!

Thank you for the information Clyde
Will and Dawn and anyone else planning on hiking The Boogerman loop trail bring along water shoes cause there are at least 5 waist high crossings. We found out the hard way. But it was fun and beautiful I might add.
Thanks for the information Lori
Hey guys

Thanks Darlene

Thanks Traveling Buddy
Beautiful
Thanks Karen
Over in that end of the country there are the funniest names, is there a history as to where some of this comes from?
If you take the exit at waterville off i40 it goes all the way over the mountain it's like a hr drive thru the mountain. It comes out right into there .dont know if that's he way you guys went in you can go out up the paved way. To I think Maggie valley. I like it there I like going up at the porch of the house to eat and sit and watch the elk .
Thanks for sharing Phillip
We are going to be here next month. Could a chevy tahoe rental get through this trail or is it too big?
You should be able to
Could you get through there with a dually?
I have wanted to go to Cataloochee
Thanks Suzanne
It doesn't look too crowded, is that your impression?
Good video! Would love to go there!
Thanks Jonah
I love your videos good job! I was wondering is there away to where dolly p was raised that would be a good video for you to do...hopeing to get down there this year...
Her childhood home gas a big fence sitting in front of it thanks Don& Patty
When y'all visited Dollywood could you ride all the rides? I'm worried about size restrictions.
They have test seats to sit in to see you fit or not thanks Sammy
Will, back in the day, churches did double duty, so to speak, as schools and community meeting locations. Later, as money presented itself, schools would be built for the community.
Thanks for sharing Imacruza
