Aurora Around America Ep. 11

Summer cools fast in the mountains and we wanted to get one more swimming day in before the cooler temps. Sliding Rock and Looking Glass Waterfall in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Pisgah Highway would provide a great end to summer.

We have been on other natural waterslides in PA

The Other Side of the Smokies

We recap our first week on the North Carolina side of the Smoky Mountains. We drove down to Cataloochee Valley and watch the elk. We baked some pies from scratch and headed to Deep Creek Smoky Mountain National Park and went tubing down the river. To make it even more exciting we strapped a GoPro to the tube so you can experience the tubing with Aurora! Enjoy!!

Best of Pigeon Forge and Smoky Mountains

We have spent many weeks in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains and we just love the area!!! After spending a full month we wanted to express our thanks to our favorite business and recommend our favorite hikes. This is one of our longer videos but there is so much to do in the area we try to give you a head start on some of the great dining, entertainment in Pigeon Forge and hiking in the Smoky Mountains.

We own a Coachmen Apex 300BHS and our bathroom fan went caput. We decided to upgrade to a larger fan and we discuss that choice. I also show how quick and easy it is to install this fan. The video is 12 mins, but it took under an hour. We are happy with the upgrade, I just wish it wasn't so ugly. We got our fan from Camping World and it took almost a month to ship but it was during Covid.

The Bear Days of Summer

Our third week of the Smoky Mountains brought some new adventures and we revisited previous failures. We discuss two great hikes Rhododendron and Chimney Tops. The kids swim in a rapid and have a blast. Aurora talks about keeping in touch with friends on the road and her letter writing clubs. We play around with our Gopro8 and have some fun in the pool. Finally there is a bear in the campground, and that provided some midday entertainment.
