    We went to Chimney Rock but we didn’t want to pay that high entrance price and I have a fear of heights. On the way up the hill with all those curves and back down again, our daughter and I was car sick. We did stay to enjoy the shops however, I am sure some closed and reopened with a different kind of store. I actually was going to scroll up because The Rainbow Bridge with all the beautiful colors of the collars , really got to me as my fur baby is 131/2 years old and has been sick. I am certain you know how it feels. She is beside me now and I love her with all my heart. Thanks for the journeys that I get see through your travels. Love hometowns rather than big crowded cities.

    The wife and I went there 2 summers ago. It's absolutely beautiful in the summer. We got to talk to the people who take care of the flowering bridge and they were super nice. The views up in Chimney Rock Park are breathtaking. I would also recommend taking the boat tour on Lake Lure to anyone going there. The views are great and it was really fun and interesting.

    My grandfather's family is from Rutherfordton they had a cabin on a Mountain that was owned by his parents and this cabin was really cool at least it was me.. I used to go there when I was young it had a natural spring water pond and a waterfall it was so beautiful I remember being really young and my grandfather telling me and my sister not to jump in that water or swim in it because if we did it would freeze us but of course being young and being told no we definitely jumped into the pond 😂 I've never been that cold my grandfather got us out because we weren't able to move our legs so he had to come and save us and then he put us naked in front of the wood burning stove.. I touched my little butt cheeks to it and really burnt myself😂 I will always have that memory I really wished the mountain and the cabin was still in my family but unfortunately my grandfather trusted the wrong people my grandpa was so amazing so kind and so loving someone took advantage of him and he lost the family home and the mountain it was heartbreaking he loved it there so much they went through the Great Depression he would tell me old stories about the family and everything they went through he would talk about the Great Depression and if they didn't have a farm they wouldn't have made it they would have starved to death but thankfully they did have a farm with lots of vegetables.. I live in Crowders Mountain and I absolutely love it I've definitely been to Lake Lure which is so pretty y'all are there at a good time when there's no one around that's the best time to go me and my husband are going to probably go in January at least.. I hope so most of the time we go to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge or Maggie Valley and we rent a cabin we love your videos thanks for doing them and keep on sharing all of these videos with us it really is beautiful at Lake Lure...

    Okay when it comes to Rainbow Bridge what's weird is when your pet passes away and you have them cremated or something your vet will get you a urn and it literally says we'll meet again on the Rainbow Bridge which I guess makes sense because all of the dog collars their families must put them there when they pass away.. I'm sure they say that about dogs too not just cats but all of the animals we love and I will meet My Little Girl Over the Rainbow Bridge Someday ❤

    Been there many many time from my kid years with the family to with my own family now and still love it . Played in that cold water as a kid . I love it up there it’s small and just simple . Should had went on through and got some of that cold water coming out of a pipe on the side of the road . Dad took milk jugs up there every time we went and filled them up with that water . So many memories up there for me , still just about an hour from me . Great video Fridays 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
