    I loved the campsite and just that area in general. It seems so peaceful and out of the crazy crowds. Getting a pizza at the campground is a great thing for them to offer. I can't travel anymore, but I feel like I get to see places by watching you guys. I have my eyes on our Savior every day. I believe He is coming very soon for some of us. We are watching the scriptures play out in front of our eyes. These days, I'm always looking up.

    Favorite part of the video, sitting around the fire and just talking about the day and sharing our faith in God. Of course it is all wonderful, driving to the camp ground, setting up and of course supper and breakfast. Cereal toppings, just plain, but the strawberries just with some whole milk, yum.
    On the Word of God,
    One has to be taught in the Lords word and life each day and grow. In the Psalms 105 the words,
    Call, Sing, Talk, Rejoice stir the Spirit, Holy Spirit. He lives within us,
    Sending my Love, Hug for Big T . waving from NC

    Don't you just love those Solo Stoves, little campfire pits. I took a metal clay pot stand and slid it around the little fire pit. The stand is slightly higher than the pit and can hold a small skillet or sauce pan. Bon appetit.

    Great video. That campsite was nice and big. Enjoyed the fireside chat. Turn your eyes upon Jesus is one of my favorite songs. Loved the shirts. No fruit in my cereal. Mike, cut you a small limb and sharpen the end next time to put your marshmallows. You could have gotten burned. 🔥 Hey to my man. Big T. Hugs 🤗 and kisses 😘. He is so relaxed by the fire whether it is a big fire or a little fire. Thanks for sharing. Be safe, have fun, and God Bless. ❤

    This world is spinning off it’s axis and if my family wasn’t already grounded in the Lord, we would be spinning with it!

    MY story: Was looking at Jones Borough a couple years ago planning moving to NE TN
    Right before Covid hit . We ended up in Pahrump NV, staying at Mother inlaws house , and still here. Had
    our Class C in the shop RV MASTERS one NIGHTMARE ,after nightmare, charged me nearly $10.000 a nine month ordeal, only to have to pay some one else to redo their mistakes another 10.0000 replacing the floor counter etc. the RV MASTERS jacked up. Now that's all done now addressing Our ck engine light that came on now been in the shop nearly four weeks only to drive off and they didn't fix the problem. One nightmare after another, and we just want to get to TN. The only thing I can say good came out of this is, Iv been writing alot music all Christian based best writing I have done thus far here in the desert , I plan on ministering along the country road heading to our new Home where ever that may be. But our trials just keep growing, to be honest the wind in our sails are diminishing. Please keep us in your prayers for a fresh wind so desperately needed,God Bless Most sincerely Dan

    Always enjoy your videos. 😊 Especially your road trips & camping. Love the shirts. Was wondering if you’re planning on putting the “E” in Smoky… I know sometimes there is controversy concerning the spelling. Tennessee side spells Smoky whereas North Carolina side is known for using Smokey. Just curious if someone orders if they will have a choice. 👕 🤔 Keep those videos coming. Y’all are truly an inspiration to so many! Blessings 🥰
