This is on our bucket list to do on our next visit! We didn't have enough time this last visit...looks like a very cool place to visit. Can't wait to return to explore more of Bryson City!

If your ever near Oconee County SC, check out Issaqueena Falls, and Stumphouse Tunnel. Very beautiful area near Walhalla SC. 😊

That’s sad 😔 about nowhere road. Thank you sharing your video. 🫶🏻❤️

Bryson City is one of our favorites!!

Such a peaceful area..I think I would end up running thru that dark area in the tunnel..someone could be hiding in that dark, 😳😱.lol..No way would I do that by myself..lol.but it is so serene. The quietness is appropriate for the history of it.Thanks for another beautiful vlog👍🏻

Was fun to go along, Mike and Karen. Thank you 😊

That's sad. Such a pretty area and the scenery was beautiful. Thanks for the trip!

We were on that road last year & we’re surprised when it ended abruptly. It is a beautiful drive. Thank you for sharing a little of the history with us.

So pretty last time I had my mom up there we went to Fontana dam, didn’t know about rd to nowhere if she hadn’t went on to heaven couple years ago I’d took her there. Thank y’all for sharing your travels may God keep y’all safe on your travels ❤️

Hi guys, that tunnel looks very spooky to me. Awesome job on the video. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. William

Beautiful views. God bless.

NCMemoryMaker did a video on this not long ago. Very interesting story, but sad too how this development never came to reality. Thank y'all for sharing so much here. God Bless.

Incredible scenery! Y'all take us on the best trips!! Thank you!❤

Bryson City is on our list. We just need to be able to spend more than 2 weeks a year in the Smokies 🙂

Nice video. I went there today .I am not able to hike anymore so I was glad to see the video of the other side of the tunnel.

Thank you Mike and Karen for the awesome video. I have never heard of that place before. It was so beautiful thank you so much for sharing

Thank you Mike and Karen for taking me along with you! If it wasn't for you and others I wouldn't be able to see these beautiful places and states. I love your videos and love y'all too! You both have been a blessing and God Bless You!❤️❤️

Wow. This is awesome.

I would love to go see this! Thanks so much for sharing this peaceful place! ❤️

So beautiful and such a peaceful place!!Thanks guys!

Hi Karen and Mike! God bless you guys, I sure enjoy all your videos. This one gives me the creepy creeps, looks like a good place for big foot to hide.

Thank you for sharing this story. Love learning so much history

Hey Friday's Forever! I am so glad I stumbled on your videos over a month ago. We were in the Smokies a week ago and now I am heartsick after watching this video ... I NEED to go back to the Smokies ... but will have to wait until October. My wife and I will be planning a day trip to Bryson City thanks to you both! You never cease to amaze me with your videos! Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!

Great video and a really interesting story. Thanks for sharing this!!

We love the Smoky Mountains ⛰ 😍 Thanks for sharing this beautiful drive and information about the area and God Bless 🙏🥰

That was. Cool journey.

Thank you for sharing this video, and for the history lesson. So peaceful and so much of God's beauty.

What a unique place. I loved it, beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your videos so much.

Wow! Such a long tunnel! Very peaceful ✌️ 😌

This is a beautiful area. Thank you for taking the time to share it and the story behind it. If you guys are looking for ideas for places to review I would love to see you guys taste test and review the smokey mountain popcorn company in Pigeon Forge. It's located in Lumberjack Square.

❤️you just gave a new place to adventure to when we come back to the Smokey's next month, thank you❤️

Thanks for sharing. 💕 Watched while at work 🤭 and it helped my day be a bit more relaxed. Although it is a sad story, some real beauty came out of it. Have a blessed day

I love the road to nowhere that was one of the places we went to October of 2020

awesome

Nice video with lots of good beautiful views..

Many families would have moved their loved one's graves had they not been promised there would be a road to the cemeteries. Many graves were relocated to Lauada Cemetery which is five miles west of Bryson City. Most of those were down nearer the river and would have been covered by water. But those above the flood level of Fontana Lakes were not moved on the promise by the Federal Government to build that road. The environmental movement's influence overruled that promise and the Government reneged. The $52,000,000 didn't cover the hurt that was done to those people, my people. What about those who wanted to be buried their loved ones when they died. How much of that money covered that hurt? What about the old people who are in wheelchairs having to cross the water and find their way up steep trails to visit their parents graves? What about their pain? Swain County didn't get the $52,000,000! It went to the great State of North Carolina to dole out to the County as they see fit. And the county only adds it to their coffers to spend as they see fit. None of it is being spent to help those who were hurt and who are still hurting. It is a beautiful place but it is a haunted. Haunted by the lonely souls of people whose homes and whose graves were given back to the wilderness. Kinda leaves an ugly stain on all that beauty doesn't it?

What an amazing video Mike and Karen we love all your videos can't wait to get back down there. Is Fontana lake in between Bryson City and Cherokee or where abouts.🤙🇺🇸🙏

Mike and Karen I hope your day is a good one I'm glad you could take me on a ride and walk in the middle of nowhere such beautiful scenery and peace and quiet there's a old wise tail about that tunnel years ago someone supposedly cut off someone's head there and it's been haunted ever since that's what I was told years ago till next video guys take care God bless

Hey! I love to watch y’all! Where y’all normally from? Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg is my absolute fav places to come so I love the videos when you all are there

Beautiful view where you stopped on the road. God's country.

Beautiful video today. My wife Glenda and really enjoy watching your channel.

Gotta watch your car and don't leave anything visible, our last trip there all the cars got there windows broke out

Beautiful and quiet area. That tunnel was scary. Yikes!! Is that the area where the legend of Spearfinger is suppose to be located? Watch your back.👻🤣

I've always wanted to go here, but my motion sickness says nope to doing those really curvy roads. Some beautiful views there, but kind of a sad history. Thanks for the video!

Hi there god bless 🙏🙏

Drove the road in 2019, walked through the tunnel and later visited and walked across Fontana Dam.

Beautiful scenery! We love it there! You have a beautiful wife!

I was waiting for a bear to pop out...💚😊💜

love you too

beautiful views you know it does the soul good to get away to the quietness and stillness and beauty God has created even Jesus went off to the country side to pray to the Father

There is a tunnel in Ohio you need to come and visit .Moonville Tunnel, just a lot of history, and it is said that it is haunted. If you make it here there is a state park close by , Lake Hope. I loved this adventure and the history that it has !!

Thanks for sharing with us Andrea!

I sure Do Miss Big T!!!

I grew up in Swain County. No one will believe the US government for generations. Many of the people who were forced to give up their land were never paid. They lost lands, homes, literally almost every thing. They trusted the government and due to the World War going on, were very Patriotic. The park land and lake land were sometimes condemned so as to steal from people who were too poor to fight back. A truly sad time

beautiful views you know it does the soul good to get away to the quietness and stillness and beauty god has created even jesus went off to the county side to pray to the father

Not going to lie, that tunnel is pretty creepy.

I would like to win the Energizer Battery!

Do you need permit to camp at the primitive site there

We are not sure Susan.

I don't see why they didn't continue making the road, there have been other times other things that things like that happened. And they just clear it up and continued, and now that they can finish it. I don't get why they don't finish it, seems someone needs to bring it up in city hall or the governor to finish it.
