A lovely tranquil stroll through such a pretty town & surrounds Sherry - the music is so enchanting and I love seeing the river flow gently 💞Motto for the day - "Ice-cream makes you happy" . Looks like another lovely day on your travels xx (loved seeing the bear sculptures - the one at the end is so majestic and the quote. 🙏
@@fairywrenwhispers Cherokee is not a traditional town or city center. It is actually a Native American Reservation. I believe that means they are sovereign (self governed, but most likely still have to pay federal taxes, as US Citizens). I have a strange relationship with Cherokee… we have been there twice now…the last time was in 2013, when my daughters were both under age 10. Back in 2013, we went tubing down a different section of the river. We asked if they could tether our daughters’ tubes to ours, and they said unnecessary as it was very gentle. Well, they dropped us off and we lost hold of our girls within two minutes (and my husband is an experienced whitewater rafter). The mountain River was very low and sift and rocky. The girls being lightweights glided right over the rocks and the parents got stuck on the rocks. It took several minutes for my husband to catch our youngest. And a few minutes later, our oldest somehow got to the other side of the river, and to this day I believe an Angel was sent to grab hold of her. A man came out of nowhere from the rustic banks. The problem with mountain rivers…they don’t really have too many stopping points. So, 11 years later, we braved Cherokee again. This time my husband and daughters (now 18 and 20), decided to go horseback riding in the national park (in the mountains). About 3/4 of the way through, my youngest daughter’s horse, who was positioned behind a limping horse, tried turning around on a narrow edge of the mountain. My daughter was so afraid she would fall off. This poor horse was apparently a runner and the guide knew that. But it was too narrow for the guide to come back. This happened again a few minutes later and this time the guide had room to come back and bring the horse up front to be tethered to his horse. Obviously my daughters protected both trips, but the outcomes easily could have gone different directions. Long way of saying, probably our last trip to Cherokee… but of course I am beyond grateful for the protection received. The quote at the end of the video is a Native American (Cherokee Nation) proverb….they are very in tune with the Earth 🪶
@@GoldenAngel444 Oh Sherry I can only imagine the terror you & your hubby felt for your daughters in those terrifying moments and for your daughters experiencing the terrifying moments - we both know dear friend - Angels gently watching over them 💞.....so relieved you found peace in knowing they are protected 🙏. Travel gently always xx
