0:40
abandoned Sky ride I did a video on this
0:43
four or five years ago it's still here
0:46
and you can see how
0:48
close the Fire trail came down the
0:51
mountain see the burned out trees by the
0:53
way Michael's here hang out with Michael
0:56
today pretty crazy by the way I have a
0:58
few friends that
1:00
lost their houses to this fire it's
1:03
terrible a lot of uh I've never seen
1:05
fire spread so quickly so when the winds
1:08
picked up it was over they're doing a
1:10
bit of construction here and you can see
1:11
there are some new Sky Ride carts over
1:13
there on the end of the parking lot
1:15
those are not going to replace these I
1:17
think those are actually going to go
1:19
across from the aquarium looks like this
1:21
place has a major plethora of drones Big
1:24
Boy Toys and check this out Doc it's
1:28

the other day I mentioned that you had
1:41
six drones you bought a seventh and what
1:43
happened to your seventh drone in my
1:45
front Tree in my house he seriously I'll
1:47

1:49
and he throwing things at it I noticed
1:51

1:55
a hatchet it was a hatchet and I got my
1:58
rubber mallet did did you get it out of
2:00
the tree no it's stuck in the tree the
2:01
Mallet is point to the story don't use a
2:04
hatchet to try to get a drone out of a
2:05
tree Lim I named this guy borgard the
2:07
other day since you are local to this
2:10
area does he have a name or was I
2:12
correct in giving him that name you have
2:14
named him properly so he will forever be
2:16

strip here in
4:25
Gatlinburg I love this little road back
4:28
on top of the Space Needle again
4:30
I couldn't leave here without one last
4:32
aerial
4:33
view man this thing is so high whatever
4:39
you
4:40
do don't look
4:43
down that's the view looking West we
4:46
turn just a bit we are now pointed
4:49
straight South and if you have a problem
4:52
trying to figure out which direction
4:53
you're looking they have these little
4:56
placards set up here I'm just now
4:58
realizing that these do not cost any
5:00
money you don't have to put a quarter in
5:01
these distant viewfinders are absolutely
5:04
free I've never seen ones that cost
5:07
absolutely nothing thumbs up Gatlinberg
5:09
you can see everyone walking down there
5:11
in front of Guinness that's where I just
5:13
was watching the robot solve the Rubik's
5:16
Cube and in real life it's way down
5:19
there what are you looking
5:21
at theill Manion yeah can you see it in
5:25
here I can see it there it is oh yeah
5:28
look at that
5:30
great wow huge multi-million doll man $6
5:35
million mansion on the top of the hill
5:37
right up there that was destroyed in the
5:39
fires going straight down if this thing
5:42
were to if this thing were to fail it
5:44
would make Tower Terror look like
5:46
Amateur hour it's getting kind of late
5:48
in the day for coffee but a little
5:50
warmth my throat still hurts a little
5:52
bit so this
5:54
is that's good for it I think it helps
5:57
this has been closed all week but it's
5:59
open today it's time now for
6:01
obergatlinburg
6:03
it's time there's a miniature inside
6:05
this glass case that's the building I'm
6:07
currently in and then I'm going to get
6:09
on a massive Sky Ride which is going to
6:12
take us all the way the tippy top of the
6:14
mountain where I will be boarding
6:16
another smaller ski lift type Sky Ride
6:20
it's going to be fun okay the first part
6:22
of that trip is not working the Tramway
6:24
is temporarily closed but they told me I
6:27
could board a free shuttle I've been on
6:29
a mission this week to ride a ski lift
6:30
it hasn't happened yet but today I think
6:33
it's going to happen our shuttle
6:35
awaits we made it that the distance from
6:39
the bottom to the top in that straight
6:41
line that it runs is 2.1 miles show you
6:45
how straight the road is it's 6.1 that's
6:47
what I would have taken instead drove
6:50
this and man that thing must have a
6:51
beast of an engine onne it went straight
6:53
up 6 miles the mountain with no problems
6:55
looks like we're witnessing some
6:57
stirring of the fudge in motion and
6:59
that's how they make fudge right there
7:01
look at him just like lather it and slap
7:02
it back down man that's he's really
7:05
showing that fudge who boss and
7:09
we're off up the
7:18
mountain going all the way up
7:18
there this brings back memory because
7:20
about three years ago you and I in my
7:22
unedited Vlogs did a ride through
7:25
starting back there going all the way to
7:27
the top hanging out the top for a few
7:29
minutes and coming back what did that
7:30
clock in at you remember how many
7:31
minutes I don't remember it like
7:33
probably 40 45 minutes trying to make an
7:35
hour I was trying to do an hour and we
7:37
failed at that but I think at that point
7:39
it was the longest unedited Vlog I had
7:41
ever why are we stopping why are we
7:43
stopping right now we're stopping we're
7:44
bouncing we're bouncing I want to do
7:46
this I want to do this today though
7:48
we're doing that we are doing that if
7:51
you're afraid of heights or faint of
7:53
heart this this is not something you
7:55
should do I've done enough of these ski
7:57
lift Sky rides in my day where they're
8:00
not that scary but look how look how
8:02
stinking High We Are it's always
8:04
fascinating to me about these things is
8:06
the whole mechanism is just dangling by
8:09
one little welded screw right there this
8:13
guy man he's moving it look at that he's
8:15
got somewhere to be places to go people
8:17
to see even the employee was completely
8:20
blown away by how fast he was moving I
8:22
don't know what it is about these Sky
8:23
list but I love them seems like anywhere
8:26
I go if they have one I just have to
8:28
jump on it and ride it experience that
8:30
this one is especially relaxing cuz it's
8:33
out in the middle of nowhere and it
8:35
lasts forever I don't want to be the one
8:37
to tell you this but we're really high
8:39
up the mountain right now oh look back
8:41
there I know well which way are we
8:43
looking forward or back there no the
8:44
people watching are looking backwards
8:46
I'm looking it's very it's very Mis it's
8:48
very
8:49
disorienting I just realized how far we
8:52
were up when I looked back
8:56
holy the sign says the smile wave POS or
8:59
kiss I'm going to go with option
9:02
probably one and two we're going to
9:03
leave the bottom one out of there if
9:04
that's okay with you yeah smile or a
9:08
kiss all right wait for the here we go
9:11
we did it we did it I'm noticing the
9:14
sign here prepare to unload it's just so
9:18
convenient that the restrooms are right
9:20
there showing the distances as far as
9:21
height the tallest is klingman's dome
9:24
which if you look you can see it's
9:26
basically right there that is the toall
9:29
Peak you would think that this would be
9:32
the tallest peak cuz it looks from my
9:34
angle a little bit higher but judging by
9:37
the sign it's actually a few feet
9:39
shorter than klingman's Dome pretty
9:42
incredible view it's just something
9:44
about the Smoky Mountains that I really
9:46
love relaxing and Majestic we have
9:50
documented our experience with this
9:51
photo two thumbs up this is for
9:55
posterity and it comes with a really
9:57
amazing this is the second one I
9:59
have this I took another one of these I
10:01
gave it to Jacob and this one I'm giving
10:04
to you thank you I really appreciate it
10:07

10:09

10:11
why do you have that little straw are
10:12
you drinking at it that's a stir stick
10:13
no I stirred it but I just didn't throw
10:15
it away hot cocoa I just had a coffee
10:18

purchase and now I'm back back to buy it
14:04
I have officially
14:06
restocked this CD that I lost many years
14:09
ago clutch blast Tyrant this is probably
14:12
one of the best rock albums ever written
14:14
in my opinion and this one I have not
14:16
seen before it's a two disc set and
14:18
there's lots of unreleased
14:20
songs I love this band and this is
14:22
probably my favorite album by the it's
14:24
it's basically southern rock meets Black
14:27
Sabbath epic goodness the school bus has
14:30
a dinosaur on the back of it this is
14:33
awesome has American flag hanging in
14:36

14:44

14:45

14:48
accident but I almost dropped my phone I
14:51
was just simply asking him if he was a
14:53
