Had some very special visits there a few years ago. And one will always be fondly remembered in my heart. They used to have a genealogical 'convention' of sorts there once a year, in mid June. My ancestors came through and settled in parts of Kentucky. I bought coffee at one of the shops and lunch at the tea room. Loved the peace and tranquility I felt when walking around town. Like going back in time when life was lived at a different pace. You captured it just as I remembered. If you ever return there, please link up with a local who can help you fill in the historical gap. .....Sorry for the pun....😃 Love the stories and your videos.
This area is where my people are from. My grandparents married there in 1923. My mother born in Middlesboro, KY. This has always been a beautiful area.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Coyote, I love Cumberland Gap! I remember when the tunnel opened for car traffic my mammo couldn't wait to drive thru the mountain. My family is from Barbourville.
I’m from Indiana, I’ve been down in that area, truthfully didn’t wanna leave, I’ll be taking up residence down there sometime soon, beautiful area and godly people.
I guess my dad drove through that town when I was maybe 10 years old I was 1955 going to Knoxville to buy produce and take it back to Harlem and Hazard and Cumberland twice a week to the commissaries and little grocery stores here in there
I took my 2005 neon through the basically one road on top of the mtn through the Cumberland gap on the Kentucky side around the lake and came all the way out almost to williamsburg,... it took about 30 minutes to an hour with some of the mud, but boy being on top of the ridgeline looking down and around was worth every moment!!!!
Omg! Love that little town. Momma mentioned that place many of times. Love the old town quaint feel. That was perfect seeing an antique shop and then across the road the old 50 model truck... Awesome! Mrs Coyote you have the sweetest voice. You need to bottle that beautiful hair color and share it 😊 Those old victorian homes and buildings are just wonderful. I just wonder where that rock wall along the sidewalk is, with the big steps going thru it, was where a school once stood. When you panned across from the other side it looked big enough for an old school or maybe a courthouse. I really do enjoy these little trips. I learn so much. You had me rolling again with the flag going up and down the flag pole😂😂😂 That place is worthy a visit for sure. God bless you both
Great job on this one! I absolutely love the shot of the caution light at the end, very atmospheric. I would love to see more extra footage/B-roll like that in future videos, it really sets the theme.
Loved the video as always, restaurants looked good....lol I like to eat as I'm sure you have figured out...lol...but I can't seem to get past Gondoliers is Harrogate....
Hi Coyote & Mrs. Coyote! 😊👍🧡 It sure is a beautiful location, rich in history, and good people ❤ I have a bunch of family that lives there and my grandma was born there 😊
Wow! That is so cool. I wish I would have knew that before I did the video so I could have talked about it in the video. What I like about Cumberland Gap is unlike other small towns it's not all that isolated, it's right between Harrogate and Middlesboro and not all that far from Knoxville.
Wow! You sound like Rick Bragg, a well-known Southern writer. Look him up. There are several videos on RU-vid of him speaking at events. He's one of my favorite authors.
You need to come over to Elizabethton,Tn some time. We’re not far. Tons of history and according to USA Today, the most beautiful covered bridge in the USA. Fort Watauga where Daniel Boone frequented and home to the Taylor House who owner was the only person to be an Admiral and General.. Transylvania purchase was signed here.
Before they build the tunnel you had to go on the old road. There was a cave there that you could go into. Is it still there? Can you go through cent now so they sell cigarettes beside the road cheap before you go into Kentucky that was a dangerous road for truck drivers thank you.
