Videos of the backside of Moore Cove Falls. #beautifulwaterfalls #chasingwaterfalls #adventureswithfriends #pisgahnationalforest #moorecovefalls
Today’s adventure took us to Looking Glass Falls, Moore Cove Falls, The Blue Ridge Parkway, a bit of off-roading, and lunch at the top of Mt Pisgah. Beautiful day chasing more waterfalls. ⛰☀️🥾😎 #pisgahnationalforest #chasingwaterfalls #moorecovefalls #lookingglassfalls
Another fun adventure today chasing waterfalls. Apparently we were risking our lives on this one. 😆 #chasingwaterfalls #rainbowfalls #dangeroushiking #exploringnorthcarolina
5 mile hike at DuPont State Forest to Bridal Veil Falls. Loved the covered bridge (see Bridgette and I bottom left) and the falls were gorgeous. We stayed for a bit and soaked our feet in the ice cold water until they were numb. The movie “The Last of the Mohicans” was filmed here. We’ll be back for sure. Lots of hiking and biking trails. #dupontforest #chasingwaterfalls #exploringnorthcarolina
Yesterday’s hike is literally in Bridgette’s neighborhood. This area of NC is known for its waterfalls. Beautiful and plentiful they are! #connessteefalls #brevard #exploringnorthcarolina #chasingwaterfalls
We made it to Bridgette’s!! To say we are both excited is an understatement. If you have at least one friend like this in your life, you have struck gold...priceless! Let the adventures begin. #hollyandbridgette #exploringnorthcarolina
A very happy 25th birthday to one of the best hiking partners! I love ya and hope you have a great time celebrating in Sedona! 🎉❤️🎂🥾 #happybirthdaycordlan
Another day, another battlefield. I am still enthralled, Gannon is hanging in there. 😆 We went to the top of the Wilder Brigade Monument where you get a 360 view of the whole area (and a good workout!) One thing I highly recommend when visiting these types of places is if there is a movie in the visitors center...watch it! They are soo informative and really make a difference when you go out to tour the area. The movies have become our favorite thing! This battlefield was also special, because we spent the day looking for the monument that honored the men of the 10th Wisconsin infantry. My SIL Leslie’s great great great grandfather fought here, was wounded, captured, and taken to Libby prison. He spent 18 mo in prison camps before being released. It was neat to explore and find that special monument and learn more about him! #fortogelthorpe #chickamaugabattlefield #ilovehistory #civilwarbattlefields #fulltimervadventures
We arrived at our current location in a small town outside Chattanooga, TN on Friday. It is a beautiful site at someone’s horse ranch. This entire area is basically all horse ranches. Their property has 4 rv sites with full hookups and excellent wifi. We are in heaven! We even had the biggest campfire ever when the owner was starting their controlled burn. Haha! We did a walk along the Greenway yesterday and an Easter hike today at Enterprise South Nature Park. It is full of magazines (100) that were built during WWI to store TNT. They were decommissioned, restructured, and opened for public use in 2010. Its has miles of hiking and Mtn biking trails over 2,800 acres. It was a nice way to spend the morning reflecting on the meaning of today. Happy Easter! #exploringtennessee #fulltimerv #easterhike
One of the exhibits at the Atlanta History Center is the Cyclorama. Cycloramas are panoramic paintings meant to be an immersive experience, like our IMAX theaters today. In the 1880’s the Battle of Atlanta was depicted in this particular one with a Northern victory. When it was relocated to Atlanta in 1892, it was changed to reflect a Southern victory. Advertised as “the only confederate victory ever painted”. The Battle of Atlanta was not a confederate victory and these changes were reversed in the 1930’s. Funny little side story...they made the painting into a diorama by adding life size soldiers, etc. Clark Cable from “Gone with the Wind” knew the person working on the exhibit and asked for one of the dead soldiers to look like him. We found him! They play a movie over this painting giving all the history and it’s quite the experience. #cyclorama #battleofatlanta #atlantahistorycenter #exploringatlanta
The Atlanta History Center is a 33 acre complex with a museum, exhibits, historical homes, and beautiful gardens. We enjoyed 4 hours here exploring all it had to offer. What a gem in the middle of a major city! #exploringatlanta #exploringgeorgia #atlantahistory #atlantahistorycenter #springinthesouth
Today we visited the town of Senoia (pronounced Sen-oy). It is the town where a lot of The Walking Dead is filmed. The main town of Senoia is actually “Woodbury” in the show. With the help of CGI and props, the town has been transformed for many different scenes, in many different seasons. Alexandria is a living set in the town and people actually live in the homes, including some of the actors (one of them is Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Norman has a restaurant here with Greg Nicotero and many actors are spotted driving around town. We also saw the tracks to Terminus and the last picture is of a house that will be featured in an upcoming episode (won’t give any more away about that, but be on the lookout). Such a fun tour and we learned a lot!! #walkingdeadfan #walkingdeadtour #alexandria #woodbury
