    Idyllic. I think this is my favorite video of yours so far, Slim. The sunset and moon/Venus timelapse was stunning. And the lovely footage from the kayak with that footage of just the reflections on the water was so relaxing. Very nice videography.

    Be careful of partially submerged trees, especially in a area with a strong currant, the underneath bits can snag you and pull you under. It happened on a river in Oregon where I floated many times. A city dweller tried to float through, got snagged, pulled under by the currant
    and drowned.
    Lovely area, beautiful rocks. Thanks Slim

Also, as Tennesseans, this video is doubly effective at a particularly difficult time. Again, thank you, and we hope you continue for years to come.

    very nice video, calm times on the water. Sounds like a great camp site, sure can't beat the price. We all met in Tenn. for a family reunion, several years ago. It was a central location since we were all coming from different states; FL., GA., MI. We were in Sevierville, Tennessee. We rented a house with plenty of bedrooms. It's in between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, so there was lots to do in any direction. Looks like it's an hour and 30 min. from where you were. That area is very pretty and was a great time.

    I think those thin sedimentary layers are shale-slate is harder and maybe thicker (and takes longer to form). I’m guessing leftovers from a Cretaceous shallow sea, but maybe younger ❤

    We call that rock shale here in Tennessee. As much as I travel around myself there’s no place like my home state of Tennessee. There are lots of special places you can find without hardly trying. There’s been times I have not gotten my kayak off the roof and gone Id guess at least 2000 miles. But when I can get in the water it certainly is worth it. Heading east to the cool mountains soon 👍💕✌️

    At 14:15... looks like the sediments were laid down in very low energy environment... no rushing river here! Those layers are like the rings on a tree. Much can be read from the thickness of the layers and the sediments they are made of. I spent 40 years working in a University Geography Department and I developed quite an interest in Geology and Geomorphology so I quite often find myself intrigued by the landscapes and geologies that you visit or travel through.
