    ℹ️About the episode:
    This week's episode takes place in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We stayed at Creekside RV Park in Pigeon Forge, TN. We got super lucky with a site overlooking the creek for Charlie to swim for the first time. This prompted a conversation about the deck and some misconceptions we had when looking at the Grand Design Momentum 399 (Toy Ginger).
    If you've been watching KYD since Season 1, you know that we've been experienced some incredible hikes. From Zion to Alaska, New Zealand and Canada too! We've had our fair share of awe-inspiring trails. So when we say that the Smoky Mountains offered some of our favorite hiking to date, that's saying something! We hiked Laural Falls, Grotto Falls, and our favorite Chimney Top.

    Since recording this video, we installed the StapPads on the remaining four stabilizers and LOVE THEM. They are nearly half the price as the big red buckets and being permanently attached requires less effort and no storage. We're big fans. Save $10 by using KYD10 bit.ly/SnapPads

      And what I found amazing, we wrote a good review....the company sent us a thank you note with 2 mini snap pads for our drinking glasses!!! We use them every day on our orange juice glasses!

    The best thing to do to dogs is to put the dog when it is a pup is to take it to every event that different people are at so it is people friendly, and to go about 100ft off of a shore of a lake and have the dog swim back to shore so it learns to swim, but be ready to always help the dog if you have to.

    Hands Down; The Great Smokey Mountains National Park is definitely a 5 on a scale of 1-5. 5 being the Best!!! Absolutely Beautiful especially during the fall of the year when the leaves are changing.
    No other National Park comes close to
    The Great Smokey Mountains!! Period!!👍🏻😁🤘🏻🙂
    Tennessee is Beautiful and not having to pay too see the Best National Park in America is why Tennessee is the place to come!!! Its also the most visited National Park of all the National Parks in the US!!
    Tennessee is the "Volunteer State" for a reason!!! Nothing compares too it's beauty, hiking, meeting all kinds of people from across the globe, nature, biking, water falls, Kingmans Dome, and the Awesome Food and friendliness!!!

    Your videos where and are a great help as we enter the world of RVs. Prior to purchase we watch your beginning videos and believe we made a smart choice based on your input. We have your set up and take down check list on the storage door and use it every time we move. So far no parts have been left hanging out or loose. As I write this we are at the base of the Rocky Mountains enjoying a cup of coffee and keeping our day dream.

    You guys are an inspiration. My wife and I are retiring next spring and launching from Gilbert Arizona in our Airstream International 27FB, behind our Ford F250 Diesel. I've been watching since you launched and have been learning (a lot) by watching you grow. I initially came for the travel videos, but stayed for the nuts and bolts of full time RV life. You guys have really got it going on...and have such a great family. Kudos to you for sharing this with the kids. You could never duplicate these experiences in a classroom. Thanks and happy trails!

    Great video, as usual. Charlie did great in the water! Now you'll never get him out! One of our first camping experiences was in the Smokies in 1982. We stayed in a tent. NEVER again!! They warned us about the bears in the park. All night I heard trash can lids banging. As the sound got closer, I thought, "Here they come!!" Then I heard zzzziiiiiipppppppp . I jumped out of my sleeping bag and shouted, "Tony, there's a bear in the tent!!" Tony calmly said, "A bear isn't going to use the zipper!!" Boy did I feel like a fool when I found out it was one of the kids unzipping their sleeping bag!! LOL!! Safe travels & happy camping! Tony & Monica's Plan B, Michigan :o)

      Keep Your Daydream, we’re glad he likes his Detroit Tigers toy and that he still has a couple more to replace the one he has literally “loved to pieces”. We can’t wait to see him with our toy on future videos! I still have the picture you posted with him snuggling with it on my desktop. It makes me smile every day. We have been toying with the idea of getting another dog but watching Charlie makes us happy enough and we don’t have to deal with all the responsibilities of actually having one. Safe travels and happy camping! Tony and Monica’s Plan B, Michigan 😁

    Tip from a motorcyclist whose done new handlebar pads: Hair spray also works great for fitting rubber onto metal. It's slick just long enough to get the thing on and then it dries. I've also used Windex in the past, same result. My wife was laughing at the "I'll just throw these on, let's see if it really needs soap" comment, saying that's exactly something I would do. :)

    The Charles Osgood reference was perfect. Having grown up in the North East "Greenery" I miss the babbling brooks and clear cool water. As a kid we used to catch fireflies in our caps and put them in a quart mason jar and set them on our dresser in our bedroom to watch as we fell asleep. Of course they were pretty much dead in the morning, shame on us for that. One thing I do NOT miss is the bugs especially the mosquitoes. Noah messed up big time putting two of those on the boat!! Love you guy and your vids. Thanks for all you do. Jim.

    I liked Tricia's counting tip for breaking down a trail into smaller chunks because I guess I'm really out of shape - those trails are difficult if there's much of an elevation change.
    I also like the ending view of nature - like the Sunday morning show.

    We use the Everest tip to swim laps each summer: 2. then 4, then 6. Once we get to the 4th day and can do 8, we add a beer and get to have a sip at the 4 lap mark until we get to 40 laps, which is 1/4 mile in our pool.

    Oh I feel so old...on Sunday Morning show, before Charles Osgood there was Charles Kuralt who used to do the ON THE ROAD segment. Those were absolutely the best ever (no one does them much anymore on Sunday) & hubby & I were faithful watchers after we got married. At the end of each show would be a nature segment that somehow always tied in with his OTR. So thanks so much for remembering & sharing. (PS If you get a chance pick up Kuralt's book. It'd be a great tie in to shared travel segment locations 🥰)

    The "Smoke" is also from the debris on the forest floor giving off its CO2. Especially thick after a rain. Glad you got to see the fireflies. Many of us locals can't seem to win the lottery. We will camp in Elkmont, though, next June, or hike into the campground. We are nearing our completion of hiking all the trails in the National Park! Only 135 miles to go!

    You guys "rock it" as usual.
    Wifey and I were just talking about your awesome video quality.
    And your natural and friendly family setting - we feel like we are right there with you.
    Thanks for 'bringing us along' on your journey.
    The new rig and ride are what dreams are made of!!

    Marc & Trish, I agree the Smokey Mountains are one of only a few parks I actually feel the drive thru is as beautiful as hiking thru! Nice to see Charlie exploring all his new surroundings, plus he is growing so fast! Thanks for another great video production! Safe Travels!

    Loved seeing this pop up, we just went to the smokey mountains 2 wks ago for our daughter's spring break. We stayed in a condo in Gatlinburg but went to Pigeon Forge as well. Unfortunately we did not do any hikes or driving tours where you were back then or even Cades Cove. There was a forest fire near Pigeon Forge. We spent our time in the touristy areas. Next time with my hubby and I and our are RV we plan to go back!

    My family and I visited the shenandoah national park in Aug 2017 and saw so many black bears. Couldn't believe it, they were everywhere. We loved GSMNP too.

    I thought the smoky mountains were amazing when I rode through them on the train a few years ago. The Blue Ridge Mountains are a pretty awesome hike too. Love your videos. They are always full of good humor and amazing views ☺💗

    Fire Fly's that was way cool! The pool the boys were swimming in was nice. Good way to teach Charlie puppy to swim!
    Beautifully green and lush. As always good family humor. Now I know what Derby Pie is! Love pecan pie love chocolate, how many stars was the Pie? You Got my two thumbs up!

    The last time we went to Tenn the bears where breaking into trailers and anywhere for water, they had a bad drought at the time. When your son got off the trolley he thanked the park employee, you have a very polite and energetic young man. I can see why you are so proud of your children.

    Fabulous! Love how you were teaching Charlie about water! And the hiking footage was beautiful - but the ending sequence Wow! - The sound

    • @dianemilligan7370
      @dianemilligan7370 5 лет назад

      Oops, I didn’t finish - the sound on the ending sequence was the perfect relaxation escape better than any sound machine, or app that I have used, very pure. Maybe you should make an app, I would like to buy it for fall asleep sound.

    Loved Charlie's intro to water. Watch Campervan Kevin's Yorkie Tucker. Looks like Charlie is on his way to being a water dog like Tucker.
    How was the pie! How was the firefly show?

    no kidding, our back yard and the empty area behind it lit up like that for 3 or 4 days one summer out of the many years we lived in our house. It was absolutely incredibly. Looked like millions of these bugs everywhere. I couldnt get any good pictures. Then the rest of the years it was just normal fireflies. That was in Missouri and it got me wanting to go and see this big display but we havent even tried yet.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your new puppy, Charlie (BTW, the video of your other pup passing away KILLED me!). I hope you guys are aware of the blue-green algae (toxic to dogs) recently reported in several states around the U.S. and are keeping an eye out as you train Charlie in the water. Sadly, the algae is fatal and the dogs get sick really quickly from it. Have been a fan of your videos for a few years now...hope to become fulltime ourselves in the future. Safe travels!

    We love viewing fireflies in the summer at night. We camped in south central PA and had a phenomenal evening at a group camp where it was just us and thousands of fireflies in the trees.

    we love our RV snap pads on our Montana, I never read the instructions, just placed them under the legs and let the weight snap them in, no fancy rubbing soap on the pad to get them in, the downward pressure will push them on
