  • Hi Robert, We enjoyed your video so much at Pigeon Forge and of the course the rest too. We laughed when we saw your Mother taking so many selfies. She is absolutely precious. Robert from a daughter of a mother, thank you for being so good to your mother. I think Mother's are so precious. When they are older, there is nothing like them spending time with their offspring. Did you see that huge smile. You make her so happy Robert. I know our families need us. We appreciate you.....Carolyn & Colin Hogarth
  • @hotrodparker
    Love it that you have your Mom traveling with you! She seems adventurous and loves the travel.
  • @erickg.7439
    I am from Miami, and since 97 I have been visiting Gatlinburg once a year. I have seen much of its growth throughout the years, but I can always find God's divinity in the smoky mountains. Great video, planning another trip in 2 weeks.
  • @pickled625
    Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg are definitely my happy place.
  • @victorc8635
    I love you traveling with your Mom. Appreciate her while she is here. I wish mine was alive, mine past away in 1987.
  • @49carol
    I love the Smoky Mountains.
  • @hyflyin1

  • @carrienecas9867
    Stumbled across your video and absolutely enjoyed it!!! Looks like I will be vacationing virtually this year thru your videos!!! thanks!
  • @sharonc8764
    Thank you so much. My step-daughter moved there many yrs ago. Now I see how beautiful it is there.
  • @janadeubner9883
    In the late 70's -early 80's my mother and I took a 3 day mini vacation and drove from central Ohio to stay in Pigeon Forge. It just happened to be in October so we got to see lots of beautiful foliage during our trip. We stayed one day in Gatlinburg and had a great time. Gatlinburg was busy then and looks much busier now! Thanks for the memories Robert!
  • @TerryB751
    Back in the early '90s my dad and I took a vacation to Gatlinburg and stayed in a Holiday Inn on a steep hill above the town. Every morning we'd walk down to town and see the sights. It was amazing how in-shape you can get after a week of doing that. Problem was, a lot of the morning walking involved going to a breakfast place where they served waffles and pancakes with strawberries, whipped cream and sausage. Hard to maintain an exercise regimen with all that going on.
  • @philrockabilly
    Brilliant, I am from the UK and was there in May 2019 for a Dream holiday, the Carolinas, Memphis, Jackson, Nashville, Pigeon Forge, Smokey mountains. Great video. Well done, all the Best to you Robert and your Mum. I cant wait for my next trip.
  • @susanray8515
    I've been send friend and family some of your videos I been watching. The first thing they say is how good the videos are and what a good job you do and how much they enjoyed them.... There is nothing on YouTube to compare to them. Glad you take your dear Mother with you. What a great son she has. God bless you.
  • @bigloaded8324
    I like the reference to helen,ga. You're correct on that. Great video Robert.
  • I've been going to the GSMNP for over 25 years and never seen any of the things you showed in Gatlinburg. I've avoided it on purpose and now I know for sure I made the right decision to stay in the mountains and away from the towns. Thanks for the video.
  • it is great to see mom.. she is thoroughly enjoying it...her smile says everything, she is on top of the world.... my mom is older 88, she cant get around like before but is fine, anyway she loves garden tomatoes and anyone that has eaten them agree... thru the years i have had some gardens, decided to have a bountiful fruit for her this year... they are stubborn but this week will finally give more than one a week, there is a big one turning now along with many other smaller ones, she will be happy
