The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge - Kicking Off Our Smoky Mountain Adventure - Hiawassee, Georgia

This week’s adventure brings me to beautiful Hiawassee, Georgia for a visit to The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge. I start this series by flying from Buffalo, New York to Asheville, North Carolina then a nice 2 hour road trip to end up at The Ridges. From there, I take a good walk around the resort in my usual Unkle Heavy style to check out every corner of this amazing place. It was a very relaxing vlog and a great start of my newest series. Do Come Along!!!

Great footage of the wedding, congratulations to newlyweds. Looks like a really nice place too. At first the building kind of looks like an apartment complex on a lake. The lodge area and grounds looked very tranquil, then there’s you running around raising Caine.

You know me. I'm always getting into trouble somehow! 😁

New game: Take a drink every time you say: "These mountains look smoky." 🍺🤣🤣 Your trip got off to a beautiful start. We look forward to riding along on the rest of it.

It's kind of hard to hear but the second time, you can hear Michelle say "That joke is getting old" and then laughs.🤣 She said it really soft and I tried to crank up the gain in edit but it's still easy to miss. Now, if you want to really do a drinking game, have a drink each time I said 'panoramic' in this one 😁

[@peteanderson970]

@@UnkleHeavy I did miss it, but that's awesome! 🤣 If the game switches to panoramic, then the Genesee brewery in town will need to add an OT shift to keep up. 🤣

Wait… you didn’t make s’mores??? What were you thinking? The lounge in that place is incredible! I have to imagine you’re right and they use that one dock for ceremonies too. Guitar music was fine but lookout for banjo music down there.

[@UnkleHeavy]

Oh don't worry we definitely had some s'mores! They came before the straight bourbon. 😁 Surprisingly, they pair really well. The lounge there was very cool, it would have been neater if they had a few fires going. Overall, super nice place though!

Get a VRBO this place is in bad shape and is expensive

[@UnkleHeavy]

Okay. Thanks for watching.

Hello Uncle Heavy, I hope this message reaches you well. I am reaching out because I am working on a special project which includes creating a horror short based off of a terrifying theme park known as Pooky Park. The goal of the short is to splice together AI generated footage of the haunted theme park while also using real life footage of other theme parks. I am reaching out because I had seen your Disney vlog that you uploaded based off of your trip to Disney world in the 90s. I would love to be able to use some short segments and clips from that video as apart of my horror short. None of your family’s faces will be seen, I just want to capture some of the footage of traveling through the park with an old VHS recorder. The segments will also be very short as the goal is to not allow the audience to fully follow what is happening within each video. So I was wondering if you would allow me the permission to use your video as part of my short. If not, no worries. I just wanted to ask if it may be possible, otherwise I appreciate your time and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. Thank you!

I also wanted to include that obviously your original video as well as your RUclips channel would be credited for the usage of your footage
