Thank you SO much for this video! I visited several years ago and took the same hike to the top overview of the falls. What a beautiful Hike, but tiring. Visited Moses Cone too, just wish I could have had a little more spending money. Thank you for brining back some beautiful memories. Love the Blue Ridge Parkway!

I think next Summer I'll be using NC parks for my annual long journey. We really have a beautiful country.

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

State parks have the best facilities, but tend to fill up quickly with reservations. I don'y usually like to plan that close on timing, so its a pain. I've noticed that a lot of peopl emalke the reservation and never show up. Talk ing to the host at Stone Mountain State park, NC, He pointed out 5 campsites in a totally booked campground that were reserved for the week and were not claimed by anyone. And then sometimes people reserved 2 sites, just so they aren't next to anyone, beuase they tend to be so cheap. But they are great if you can get them.

wow! the linville gorge falls are gorgeous! you better wrap that leg tightly every day!

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

We will be climbing down there soon, if I can keep from killing myself before then ! Thanks for stopping by !!

@susanstrickland6774 6 лет назад

So beautiful. I'm sorry about your leg, do hope you got it checked out, and didn't cause more damage. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. 😊👍👍

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Its okay, no need to have it checked, I know exactly what they would do, and I can do that all by myself, It wasn't displaced or anything, so it will knit back together on its own.. It been 3 weeks and its getting better. I Just have to keep an eye on this huge hematoma. LOL.

@davidhinnant9345 5 лет назад

Hey Rick, I was up that way last week (10/25/18). Stayed around Deep Gap. Unfortunately the color is a little behind this year. If you've never been, go up to Elk knob state park sometime and hike the summit trail. We hiked it last week. Awesome views up there! Thanks for all the informative vids. Love the dogs!

@GoingNoWhereFast 5 лет назад

Thanks !! I may just do that. I'm waiting on a "Cargo Liner" for the New Ride to try to keep the boys from destroying the car before its has 10,000 miles on it. But that is a place I have been meaning to go. Thanks for the comment !

@rooferay3944 6 лет назад

Beautiful area and not a bad looking campground although a little more shade would have been nice. I enjoyed the series of videos. Take the time to heal !! I just cut a trip short after trying to push on with a broken rib. Get well soon and keep the trips coming for those of us left behind.

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Ribs hurt so bad, and take so long to heal because you use them to breath ! And they are usually accompanied with torn ligaments... I'd say just stop breathing for 2 weeks and they will heal faster... or maybe not !! Thanks for the comment !

@rooferay3944 6 лет назад

Ill give it a try !! lol

@lynnrogers5205 6 лет назад

Beautiful views of the parkway. Just after the Viaduct opened up, my husband and I hiked on a trail that wound under it. We got photo's looking up at the Viaduct. Get well soon. Because of your injury the park left you a sad face at 3:12. Can you see it? Thanks for the great video!

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Wow.. Now that good observation powers... Yes on the Viaduct trail.. That was closed !!! Its from the "Linville Cove Visitor Center". They were doing some repair on the trail from the recent heavy rains. Its a neat area.

@PaulDGreen-bu4iz 6 лет назад

Beautiful views!! I hope your leg heals soon! Thank you for sharing!!

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Thanks for the comment. It is getting better ! It just a slight crack... and a lot of bruising !

@donnadoll9443 6 лет назад

I sure hope you get to the doctor about your leg. Prayers for ease of pain and a quick recovery. 🙏 This video is beautiful and breathtaking. Thanks for your diligence AND stubbornness. Be safe, Be blessed. 👍🇺🇸

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

You can look at Tsuki reply for the leg situation... Its almost 90 % after 3 weeks, so it is healing ok, I doubt they would do anything because it was my femur, my upper leg bone, you can't put a cast on it.

@donnadoll9443 6 лет назад

Going NoWhereFast. Ok....I AM a Mom, but don't wanna sound like one either! 😉☺ Keep taking good care of yourself.👌👌

@lark518Photo 2 года назад

Hi Rick, not sure if you see comments from your old videos. I stayted at the Linville campground Oct 2021 site 70 the last on the right as you exit. I did the hike down to the bottom of the gorge where that guy was on the rock. It was the hardest hike I have done, but beautiful. I have videos also.

@GoingNoWhereFast 2 года назад

Yes, I get notified and see all comments on any of my videos, and also on anyone else video I leave a comment on. Yes that is a hard hike down. My prior boys were going to do it, but they really weren't up to it. But the bottom of the gorge in the hot summer is just heavenly!!

@rickmoro705 6 лет назад

Bucket! List!! Take care of the leg you only have two of them Thanks Rick this was a real nice one!

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

But there are two of them !! If I loose one I could still hope around on the other.. or I could maybe learn handstands !! LOL Thanks for the concern and your comments !!

@ernestpaul2484 6 лет назад

Just remember we don't heal as quickly anymore (I just turned 60 last week) as we did in our younger years when we were 10 foot tall and bullet-proof.

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

True, we don't heal as quickly, but we also know how to enjoy the sedentary life better !! I'm taking it easy, and each day the leg is allowing me a little more use, so it is getting better... Just the bruising is really ugly.. No Bikinis this season Thanks for the comment !

@ernestpaul2484 6 лет назад

Just keep the shower side of your Aliner away from the road when you setup. Would hate to see you having LE interrupt your camping to investigate elderly abuse from receiving a report about some naked guy beside the road with bruises. Just for a fun fact, I live to the southeast of you near Rockingham in the Sandhills. I don't do well with the heat and humidity, so looking forward to the fall to get up in the mountains to camp. I watch your site in particular for your opinion on the different places to camp. Thanks, take care.

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

The mountains RIGHT now are fantastic, 20 degrees cooler than the Piedmont. I did a review of Mortimer Campground 3 years ago. One of my first videos. Fantastic nice place. I may get back there. But keep it on your radar. It just about 20 miles northwest of Lenoir, and about an hours drive..LOL

@bryanseverino3674 6 лет назад

Thanks for bringing us another great adventure from the Blue Ridge!

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Thanks for stopping by and watching !!

@pamelabell5084 6 лет назад

You need to have the leg checked out at our age block clots can kill . Always love the videos and your spin you have a lot of the same thought processes as myself

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

You said "the same thought processes as myself".. this could indicate the need for mental health consult... LOL ... Thanks for your concern, comments, and continued support !!

@pamelabell5084 6 лет назад

Could need mental health - not we are the only ones in our right mind lol

@hustonkayakadventureshusto8030 6 лет назад

I love waterfalls, we have some amazing waterfalls in northern WI/U.P of Michigan. Looking forward to seeing your new pup.

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Lots of photos on the facebook page... He'll be hoggin the channel soon enough... Thanks for the comment !

@karenr67 6 лет назад

Good luck with the leg.

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Its much better.... 3 weeks and I'm expecting the usual 6 weeks I'll be back on the bike... Thanks for the comment and Caring !

@hustonkayakadventureshusto8030 6 лет назад

Waiting for a new video, everything ok?

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Everything was great until yesterday, the new one came home. Throws everything off !! Video hopefully tomorrow !!

@REB65 6 лет назад

Beautiful shots Rick , thanks! How’s your other pooch doing? Hope your leg heals up soon and God Bless ✌️

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Dakota is doing well, His girlfriend moved to new quarters, though surely will be back occasionally to visit, right now we are watching my sons pooch while he visits Europe (BRAT!). So Dakota has a new friend to fight over the ball and toys.. LOL. He is so mellow though. Life is good ! Thanks for the comment

@RandomNE55 6 лет назад

Feel better. No crash footage?

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Isn't that the worse part of it all... The GoPro was in my bag because I was looking for a good place to place it..... It would have been magnificent I'm, sure.. and I would actually know what happened !! Thank for the comment

@kawaikui 6 лет назад

It sounds like you fractured your leg :( I hope you see the Dr. for it and recuperate well :) Thank you for sharing this beautiful park, Rick . . . ear scratches for Dakota. Happy adventures!

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

I'm pretty sure I cracked the bone. If I pressed down on my thigh the bone actually moved, like it become a "U". But it wasn't dislocated or apart, so I figured it would heal in 3-6 weeks if I treated it nicely... So I have been staying off it. It doesn't hurt al all standing on it... Just any bending or twisting WAS excruiating.... very hard to sleep the first week.. but its been 3 weeks now, and its just a little painful when I walk to fast or take big steps. I even went up stairs today..

@kawaikui 6 лет назад

Ouch :(( Don't forget to take your daily vitamins with supplements & minerals and eat well to help healing and pain from inflammation. Forgive me for sounding like a nagging Mom. Lots of sleep is important too, LOL! Carry on . . .

@barabralister916 4 года назад

I hope you consult a doctor to make sure walking long distances is OK, or will you need some kind of boot

@GoingNoWhereFast 4 года назад

HA ha... Thanks for your concern and the comment. I was thinking it would maybe heal crooked, and I would have that song to enjoy... "There was a crooked man who had a crooked leg, and raised a crooked dog."... Anyway, we used to sing it at summer camp !!

@leslieewing9088 6 лет назад

Did Dakota go on this trip? I didn't see him. Break a leg, and you didn't go to a clinic, hmmm??? This sounds like something my husband would do, until I got on his case and keep on it until he got it checked out! He still thinks he's immortal!

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

No,, Wanted to bike so Dakota stayed home. He likes his girlfriend and doesn't like chasing the bike anymore. It was a lateral crack in the bone, meaning from end to end on my Femur. They would not cast it as there is nothing to secure it to unless they went all up around my waist. NOT HAVE THAT DONE ! It knitted up in a week or so and will completely heal in 6 weeks. No big deal. The risky part is the huge blood clot (Sub Dural Hematoma) in the thigh that I need to keep from killing me... So whats the problem !!??? A couple aspirin and back to work !! I could probably use a good women to nag me into living a little longer !!

@leslieewing9088 6 лет назад

Going NoWhereFast I didn't mention that people our age often get blood clots when a bone is broken. I didn't want to scare you! So you did get it checked out! Good! Take care of yourself so I can continue to enjoy your videos!

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Ya, I know the risks, and the treatment regimes. I have a pretty good medical background... I hurt myself a lot...LOL

@fr3atlast448 6 лет назад

You think you broke your leg...and your limping to get a video...down a trail...😳😳...I hope you went to Urgent Care somewhere! Something??😳😳🌷🚍

@GoingNoWhereFast 6 лет назад

Well "Broke" maybe too strong for people to understand... I thin it was cracked along the bone, because I could pres on my lap and it would bend. But it hardly hurt to stand on it straight up and down. So as long as I kept it straight it was okay. When I got back to work though stairs were out of the question... thank goodness for elevators. Its mostly almost healed... I'll just be protective of it for another 3 weeks
