Beautiful country for sure!!We love taking an adventure where you can find all kinds of cool places to visit!Old country stores are one of our favorite places!Thanks Mike and Karen....another informative video!!!😊

Thanks so much for the comment Jody - Our pleasure.

@theresapickenspickens9485 Год назад

Enjoyed your video as usual. I love back road adventures! The lady you interviewed at Muddy Pond is part of the Guenther Family that is known for making sorghum syrup along with apple pies, cracklings and sausage. I just saw a video this past weekend where her family was interviewed by The Appalachian Channel, you tube video titled: Meet the Guenther's from Muddy Pond. I recognized the gentlemen who is the eldest son as he did demonstrations at Dollywood in the fall on how to make sorghum syrup. You will see the lady that makes the apple pies in one of the videos. I live in Georgia and always look forward to trips to Tennessee.

@dandtintennessee7675 Год назад

Looks like a fun day. I used to deliver to Mennonite folks in Scottsville, Kentucky. That was years ago and 3 careers back. They are such nice folks. I really respect and admire them.

This was a great place for a video. Love seeing old barns, antiques, etc. I bet they could tell quite a few stories. Please keep this up. Nice to see so many hills, not people on top of people. Country living at its best! Thanks, my friends. Just wondering, would you ever consider coming to Ontario Canada? Maybe Niagara Falls Ontario Canada.

That's my Black Mercury Sable go figure. I recently moved to Clarkrange, TN where this store is and a old Rock a Billie Burger and Shake Diner in the back is awesome! I guess I Ieft Rock a Billie just before you entered you can see my left over shake glass and tray on the counter as you entered the diner. I remember the black van.

No, it's called Jadeite/Jadite‼️ Melamine is a cheap type of plastic like dishes. Jadeite is a more expensive collectable, and looks more like the white Milk glass.

Homemade things and food are always so much better. The foods are fresh, usually no preservatives and made with love ❤️ Thanks for sharing. Loved the quick cameo of my man, Big T. 😊 👋

@ericalay9082 Год назад

thats a huge milkshake

@craig322 Год назад

Ok I'm just gonna say it. It's important to ACTUALLY support these local small businesses. Buying one milkshake or one fried hand pie, between 2 people is not what keeps these small stores alive. Don't be so tight, if money is such an issue then maybe you should switch to reviewing Dollar Tree or Walmart. Time it so you are hungry when you visit these country stores or buy some unique items to review. Lead by example.

@kristenschnese6980 Год назад

You don’t know if they bought anything else because they don’t show everything the are very good supporters of Tennessee small businesses and general and they could have walked out with nothing…

@FridaysForever Год назад

Thank you Kristen we love drawing attention to these places for others to visit.

@riverduck3 Год назад

First I want to say that I LOVE the name of your RU-vid videos! I've always been very fond of Fridays because on Friday nights I got to stay up late and watch Johnny Carson with my dad. You two are living a great life traveling to these interesting places, far away from the troubles of today's society. I sure wish I had that "Make Children Great Again"" paddle! lol. It would be a terrific conversation piece!

The burgers and fries are pretty good at the antique diner place.After the diner on 127 there is a huge grassy lot that is full of antique cars, ( not for sale) all makes and models from 50-60, curious if you passed it.? It’s cool. Such quiet peaceful scenery.Enjoyed the vlog👍🏻
