This is close to my heart for a couple reasons. I am a second generation Land Surveyor and I've been rambling in the woods since I was 5 or 6. My parents lived on the outskirts of a small town. I always longed for the remote areas. As an adult, my wife and I moved twice. Once from town to just outside of the city limits. Next to our humble home in the woods. Our nearest neighbor is half a mile away as the crow flies or 2+ miles by road. We've been here 18 years now. Eleven of those we(and many others) spent fighting to keep a landfill from opening operations next to our property. Successfully as of today. Hopefully that's over with...

Soo many great people in those mountains ❤

I'm glad he was able to spend a long life in his beloved mountains. I'm starting to get a little too old and creaky myself to have any business living alone in the wild, but that was always my favorite kind of place too. I lived 14 years at the end of a 5-mile dirt road surrounded by national forest where hunting wasn't allowed, and very few people even knew I was out there. I could see most of the places below me toward the 2-lane paved road so I knew when people came and went. I'd just wait until I figured nobody was home before I did my own coming and going. Not anti-social but I tend to value my privacy. It was the most content I've ever been.

I loved this story and the way you told it. As a mountain lover from Colorado…recently transplanted in NC, I have great interest in the history of the Appalachians. This has become my favorite channel to learn. Thanks.

Most YouTubers don't have all the facts straight, you hit the nail on the head !
People that grew up in the mountains can tell if someone has been in their mountain !

2:30 I went to Clingman's Dome on a visit to the Smokies about a decade ago during an unusually warm and sunny time - it was beautiful, I'd love to go back one day 😊😊😊

Been all over them mountains from the North Georgia Border up through Murphy, NC and into Southwest Virginia. One of my favorite trips into the Appalachian Mountains outside of NC was up to Mount Washington, NH to the White Mountains. I got to go to the Top of Mt. Washington to where the weather station is at the top. It was in early fall up there and even then those winds would just about blow you away. I would hate to be up on top when those wicked winter winds come calling.

Another Great Story with an excellent History Lesson!!! Keep em coming.
Thank You Thank You Thank You
