    This video right here! I'm a Cherokee from the Oklahoma Reservation but I have family in Cherokee, NC and have visited them many many times, and I never knew about this road! I'm gonna make it a point to visit this year during the autumn and drive across this road. I bet the autumn cors are breathtaking through there. I also bet in June the river is gorgeous with all the hydrangea and other wild flowers
    Thank you so much for sharing! Again, I don't see how anyone can find anything about you all or your channel to hate on. They have to be jealous that you have a successful channel with decent monetization(which you all deserve).
