The eagles are generally kept like that when they've been injured and have no hope of survival in the wild. It's hard but they get to live.

Into those deep and dark mountains, I went more than 60+ years ago.She lived on a mountain and a graduate of a tiny school deep in the Smokys of NC. We courted high in those mountains of hers. Married for 60+ years were we. She was wonderful. The mountains were her. She knew those mountains and was part of them. A pure mountain girl of those mountains that were wild and almost impenetrable. What a wonderful wife. Mother. Grandmother. Author. Business owner. My delight. Then came the day I had to lay her to her rest. What a loss. Everyone is amazed by those mountains. She knew them in a very personal way. She danced. A competition thing for her tiny school. Clogging. A mountain thing. Good grief, I miss her after 60 + years with her. Those mountains are her.

You made me sad. Great post about your wife! Thank you Sir!

@karlchebator Год назад

I live in Athens Ga. and have ridden the Parkway a few times. I love the section from Cherokee to Ashville the best.

@ducati135 Год назад

I used to live in Asheville in the 1980s and road the parkway and surrounding area many times. It continues to be one of my favorite areas with endless mountain roads and beautiful vistas. The eagles at Grandfather mountain are probably injured rescues, otherwise I think that wouldn’t be legal.

@anasevi9456 Год назад

Not surprised you have a knack for finding the most beautiful places given you are from Switzerland. Also chances are those eagles are rescues, likely have a bum wing that did not heal properly from an accient. That's how it usually works with zoos these days.

@Got2Go Год назад

Yes, I know that this is how it is, and I wrote and answer already to this on another post that I will just copy paste: As much as I wish this is not true (that’s the case with many animal shelters, that’s why I am very sceptical about them in general), because cougars don’t even live on grandfather mountain anymore in the wild. So where they gonna release them to and how they gonna make them ready for the life outside the shelter if grandfather mountain is not their real territory anymore where they can find other cougars to mate? I know that the people at the shelters want the best for the animals and take really good care about them, but in my opinion it is often worse to cage wild animals than maybe just let them die naturally. Visiting this and seeming to be an expert in this you probably as well know that many of the rescued and once caged animals can never be released to the wild again, because they got too used to the life inside the cage and would immediately be killed if released or simply couldn’t survive alone anymore. I have visited a lot of animal shelters in the beginning of my journeys and therefore talked to a lot of people working there, and after this my opinion is that it would rather be better to not take away so much of the animals wild living space and territory and just leave them alone, than „saving“ them and putting them in shelters. It’s just my opinion and you can have a different one, I respect that a lot and as well respect the people working there and fighting for the animals a lot. But I still don’t want to support it and show animals like bears here on my channel caged. These wild creatures becoming a spectacle for hundreds of visitors a day who get way to close to them is just nothing that feels good to me, no matter how noble the motives are.

@palantir135 Год назад

I love mountains too. Maybe because I live in a land that is quite flat except the southeast region which is hilly. These are the foothills of the Eifel mountains. I was born in that region. I visited the Alps in Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Germany. And other mountainous regions in Europe. Al with a car, I didn’t havezaten motorcycle license then. I was there for hiking and taking pictures Beautiful motorcycle road and region. Just ride, take turn after turn and be one with the bike. Very beautiful drone footage of the mountains with the mist in between. Walking in motorcycle gear is like exercising in a sauna. It’s easier in special summer gear but it’s still quite warm.

@mjhou4123 Год назад

I live in Carolina for more than 30 years and certainly appreciate the beauty of parkway. However, I could not agree with the subtitle saying it is the best drive in America. It is one of All American Roads and certainly deserves the classification. I can easily name more than five All American Roads that are better drive than Blue Ridge Parkway.

@Got2Go Год назад

I agree - but that’s what it is named in many descriptions, so I probably should have added a ? In the end.

@0HARE Год назад

Thanks for showcasing my home state, North Carolina. It is stunningly beautiful. After living in Texas for over fifty years, it’s sometimes uncomfortable to visit N.C. again. After the far vistas and horizons of Texas, the closeness of all those mountains and large trees give me claustrophobia. Wishing you well on your journey.

@Got2Go Год назад

Interesting - but I actually hear that from many friends too who don’t like the mountains at all!

@jeremylocklear6583 Год назад

I'm so glad you got to ride the BRP! I will say that the parkway from Cherokee to Asheville is the prettiest part of it. However, little Switzerland is amazing, I'm glad you got to see that. I really enjoy your videos and watching your journey. If you ever go through Alabama, stop at the Barbers Vintage Motorcycle Museum in Leeds, Alabama. It is a world class place. We'll be happy to take you there, show you around, and show you some good roads near us. Safe travels!

@nose2wind872 Год назад

Lea, Many of the animals you see caged nowadays cannot be re-released into the wild for a variety of reasons, so don't feel too bad about their situation. Enjoying your trip along the Blueridge including the diversions. There are many of these ridge-type byways all over the USA, including the Kancamagus Highway, The Natchez Trace, Etc. Also the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. One could plan a trip linking all these wonderful Bi-Ways, then just put your Nose2wind and Go!

When I was a small boy as a family we moved to Tanganyika (or Tanzania) as it’s called now. One of my best memories was our adventure safaris to the massive game parks with free roaming thousands upon thousands of every wild animal you can imagine, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wilder beast, numerous types of antelopes, and of course lions by the dozens in many packs, baboons, hyenas, hippos and crocodiles and huge herds of elephant, too many animals to count or numerate, but ever since this time I find it impossible to visit zoos and see animals caged up, I am totally in sympathy with your similar feelings about caged animals.😢

@rossrichardson7232 Год назад

I agree. We have toured Tanzania and Kenya. It is difficult to visit a zoo now.

@dalebyrd5391 Год назад

While I am in agreement with you concerning zoos, those at Grandfather mountain are rehabs that have been injured or otherwise unable to live in the wild. There are signs there stating this.Grandfather has done incredible work rehabing and educating the public in wildlife conservation and I'm disappointed that you gave them a bad rap.

I wish you would have completed the entire parkway this time, but I can understand wanting to see something a bit different as well, so I look forward to the next episode!!

My wife and I rode the BRP from VA to Asheville last year. We planned to go back and ride 226a out of little Switzerland this year but a family member sickness has delayed that so maybe spring or summer next year. The animals at grandfather mountain were likely injured which is why they were there. Most rehabilitated animals are released back into the wild.

@Got2Go Год назад

That’s an awesome route, i hope you can do it in 2023. I already wrote a comment regarding the animal shelter, so I will just copy paste it here, so i don’t have to write the same again 😊: As much as I wish this is not true (that’s the case with many animal shelters, that’s why I am very sceptical about them in general), because cougars don’t even live on grandfather mountain anymore in the wild.

So, yes, the BRP is very scenic. But there is NOTHING there. No shops, no restaurants, no people, and it gets old VERY quickly. My experience is that I got my fill in about 45 minutes. PLUS, the speed limit is 45 mph as I recall and it's STRICTLY enforced. Btw, watching on Sony X95J 4K 65 inch T.V in vivid video setting is STUNNING. With Sony sound bar and Bluetooth sub woofer.

@creedm3040 Год назад

Beautiful video for sure! Although I am biased since I live here. I hope you were able to ride up to Mt Mitchell? The Fall colors continue to amaze everyone. I can’t remember a more vivid display. Hopefully it will last a couple more weeks. When you return you should plan a September & October trip. I agree with you about the caged animals and I am not sure why that is allowed to happen. I will have to do some research. I hope you are well and riding every day! Best!

@Got2Go Год назад

They have them because they are often rescues and injured animals that go to the shelters. The motives are good ones, the people working there for sure as well really care about the animals - I still don’t like it and find it a torture for these wild creatures to be caged. But there are many that as well think it’s better to save them than letting them die. I really don’t know but something inside me just thinks it’s wrong and that they are not happy in these cages.

I just came back from a second Skyline-Blue Ridge road trip. first one I did during the summer many years ago and finally completed mid October trip when the leave colors change and far less crowd to enjoy the road. I didn't all they way to Smokey where it end but instead wrapped up at the Tail of Dragon. looks like 'Got2Go' started from the middle Blue Ridge from Ashville to west. starting from Skyline Drive North Entrance [105 mi] in Virginia connecting to Blue Ridge Parkway [469 mi] is a must do road trip for sure. not sure if OP has done the NorthWest [WA, OR, MT] trip? totally a new experience and little more "home" for the OP and absolutely different from Blue Ridge Mtn experience. another nice road bike trip is from update state NY to Nova Scotia [summer time]. one more must do road trip is from Washington State to South California [route 101 and 1]. absolutely adore how much OP is enjoying the trips all over the world.

Wow! Amazing views. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of two separate trips I made to the Blue ridge parkway; one in 1992 with my wife and our new Honda Civic Si and another trip camping in the park with our two children. I remember an encounter with a deer over breakfast with my daughter.

Hi Lea, enjoyed the blue ridge parkway, it's very special, indeed almost spiritual with the mountainous deciduous forests, especially when you can wind your way through on such stunning curvy roads. Motorcycling heaven. Thank you.

Hello from New Zealand. Lea, I understand how you felt about the caged animals. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to visit BC in Canada and on my "To See" list were Bears and Eagles. My first glimpse of both was at a zoo in Vancouver. What I saw was one of the most heartbreaking things that I ever saw. I can understand that a lot of these animals are unable to be released, but it is still heartbreaking to see these majestic animals that I had previously only ever seen in books and movies living in such a state. Just laying in a dirty hollow in the ground or sitting on a tree branch framed by a wire cage. They almost looked like dead stuffed animals. I love your channel. Only just discovered it and I am slowly working my way through the videos.

You missed Mt Mitchell state park which is my favorite place. I live 3 miles from Little Switzerland. I'm so lucky I've lived here all my life. Mt Mitchell is the highest peak in Eastern North America.

The part of the Blue Ridge I rode on, was the Virginia side, loved every bit of it. And yes, it’s definitely beautiful in the fall/autumn when the leaves change colors. 🍁 That cinnamon roll looked delicious. Thanks for posting your video. 🙏🏻😘✌️
