You’re in our neck of the woods in this video. Everyone who appreciates small towns and beautiful scenery should visit this place. But please don’t tell any yankee relatives. 🤐🤭

@MountainRoots Год назад

Oh come now, there's many northern Copperheads 😉

@rosiemcnaughton9933 Год назад

Unlike so many other small towns this one seems to be doing very well. That's good news. Really a beautiful place.

@MountainRoots Год назад

It truly is beautiful, certainly has its own struggles, but I get a good vibe here.

@genieceragsdale4533 Год назад

Oh my gosh!! I live here!! I have my whole life!!! So glad to see someone finally showing off our town!! It’s very small but very fun!!

@sandydeel400 Год назад

It is so refreshing to see a small community still thriving and have so much to offer. You do such a great job with the drone in your videos. We get to see the beautiful mountains and landscapes that we otherwise might not get to see. I enjoyed the interaction with the locals as well. I have visited the Emporium there a few times and love browsing in the store for those items you just may not find anywhere else. Another great episode. Keep them coming!

@mattkrea Год назад

These communities are my favorite parts of exploring the woods and mountains between my home area in the shadow of the Appalachians in Pennsylvania and the more southern stretches. This series does such a spectacular job of giving a feel for them.

@MountainRoots Год назад

Ahh thanks, really appreciate that! What would be some good places to explore in your home area?

@mattkrea Год назад

@@MountainRoots Ashland, Minersville, St Clair, and many more. You're deep in coal country up there but the towns will look strikingly familiar to you I bet. The same spirit that thrives down in Virginia is alive in these mountains.

@chloeburton494 Год назад

So happy to see this! I spend my summers with my grandparents out there each summer and my great grandma lived in New Castle- her house was featured in the video too! Love New Castle 💙

I've seen several of your videos of Appalachian towns that I want to explore, but then New Castle is in my back yard. Wish I could've taken you to Roaring Run. I love the waterfall that you did find. I still haven't gotten to see one of the demolition derbies, but there's one this Saturday...... I may have to go! ❤

@bluemountainway0098 Год назад

Love this channel, really appreciate the work and dedication you put into every video! I would love to see you explore Harpers Ferry, WV. I want to go someday, looks like such a beautiful place, and of course steeped in history.

Been going to Smith Mountain Lake Virginia since I was a baby. Grand parents bought land right on the lake when they first constructed the hydro electric dam there. You should check out the history of the area In Bedford and Franklin county. Love the videos keep it up!

@MountainRoots Год назад

Thanks, will do!

@markakira8988 Год назад

First minute felt like a professional intro to a movie, really smooth. The only thing I don't like about hilly/mountainous areas is that sometimes, after your shot bounces off the rim, you gotta' chase your basketball downhill. I'm 90% sure those are Bulldawg brand Musky lures at 7:37. They are popular up in the northern border states and in Canada. Peace.

@MountainRoots Год назад

Thanks for watching! Still chasing some basketballs 😆

@opathe2nd973 Год назад

Stopped in New Castle and shopped at the Emporium last summer after a stay in Paint Bank (another amazing Virginia gem!) Beautiful little town for sure. The short hike up to Hanging Rock is well worth it (we had a close encounter with a bear on the gravel road) - really liked the drone shot!

@MountainRoots Год назад

Yes, a stop at the Emporium is a must!

That's Kelly Knob overlook at 5:00 min., a wonderful 4-mile day hike on the AT (park at Level Green) without the crowds of the more famous Mcafee's Knob nearby to the east, yet just as pretty an outcrop lunch spot and view. An easy drive from RT. 460 at Newport Va. This was a well-balanced, sunny and professional video of the area.

@MountainRoots Год назад

Close, it's actually the Hanging Rock Overlook Trail on Potts Mountain, about 9 miles from Paint Bank off 311.

@bluesburg Год назад

@@MountainRoots My mistake and thanks for alerting me. The two are mirror images of each other from the drone view, and I was totally fooled. Makes me want to drive out there this spring and see the view myself. Thanks again. G

@gregrosendahl7362 Год назад

My first thought was McAfee's knob, but that's about a 20 mile drive from New Castle, plus I think McAfee's knob is in Roanoke Co.

@gregdelaney119 Год назад

This is a fun episode, Josh! I enjoyed your conversations with the "locals" and the sampling of attractions and activities there. I noticed several roofs of buildings painted red/rust color. Is that a local tradition? A way to help the aerial travelers orient? Just a coincidence into which I am reading too much? Any place that offers the contrast of "gliding" and demolition derbies must be cool. :)

@MountainRoots Год назад

Thanks Greg! Actually, I think that has more to do with historical preservation than anything from what I've been told. Good insight & question though!

@gregdelaney119 Год назад

@@MountainRoots Historical preservation is a very noble and worthwhile motivation! :) Beats the heck out of "well, those are the cheapest roofing tiles available at Home Depot"! :)
