Wow havent been there in ages. It did used to be a fireplace according to dad. Btw...I'm offended the site of the Historic white pines tree fort hasn't been the subject of one of your videos. 😅 @8:56 I fell down it trying to slide on my butt, still have the scar. The trout were traumatized.
as a photographer, I just itch to get a good camera up there, where you were at the 16:15 mark, and make wide photos. I hope you get someone to do that. That's some real beauty
it would be so pretty if you flew a drone with a camera up the creek, to record the falls, in summer, and in winter. It would be epic if you had zip lines and could take them one by one down the many water falls from the top of the mountain to your place
I’m getting lots of bear pics on the trail cameras up there. The dozer does the trick and the winch has got me out of lots of jams. Thanks for watching
I’m actually still working on the the switchbacks. It has 3 of them and it’s hard to widen them because the hillside is so steep. Right now only a mid size truck can make the tight turns.
Need a pair of binoculars to see the bucket 🙄. And position that tractor properly 🙄. And get those revs up! Good greve🙄. Legend has it he is still in those woods.
Crazy to see this. Mikey Malone is my grandpa. It’s been years and years since I was taken to the crash, I was around 8-9 years old. Thanks for the video. RIP Mikey Malone, Lonnie and Bill.
I was about you age where it crashed I can remember seeing the search planes flying around looking for it. That was some steep rocky wilderness where it went down. I’m sorry for your loss.
@@davidcook2687 I travel for work and when I’m close I’d like to visit the site again one day. Is there much wreckage left that wasn’t filmed? We have the props and some other smaller pieces, heard you mention looking for them. That would be a tough search unless your in Arkansas lol. What’s the closest you can drive to there? Any info would be appreciated!
@@zachm7854 I grew up beside of David in Glen Ayre. Though definitely not as familiar with the woods lol I remember my grandparents saying you had to park on top of the mountain and make your way down. There is a little store on NC261 called Thomas Grocery if your in the area and decide to visit the site I'm sure the owners would be a wealth of information if you can't reach David. I was told people had carried off much of what could be and was recognizable. Though as you know it was in pieces. Its very rough territory so just transporting your ownself in and out is difficult let alone anything substantial.
U need a bigger dozer for a job like that. A d9 or d10 or a d475 would be perfect to push straight through rocks and all. Your dozer was just too light.
Nice dirt! Looks just like my JD 550g. but once you pioneer in a road with a 690e excavator, you will be spoiled. Doubles dozer life too. And I am working in 50/50 rock and soil with boulders the size of cars.
@@davidcook2687 Buy the biggest excavator you can afford, at least 45,000 pounds. don't mess with those little ones unless you are working in a city. Although a heavy backhoe can do quite a bit also.
