ViDEO: GRAND LOOP PART 1 with the Hickery Brothers...Linville Gorge

[WV]

The fantastic sights and the fecund smells of Linville Gorge combined with your fertile imagination - a fine start to an epic journey, Shug. Looking forward to Pinchin tomorrow , but I'll bet you two take it in stride, and then peaceful repose on the fern-covered slopes of Laurel Knob. (Say Hi to the bear, Hickery.) You did finish the other end of the trail, didn't you? You did find Laurel Knob from that direction, didn't you? I guess I need to wait for the next chapter to find out.

Fecund!?! I though he was making that up. Did get up to LK but we're getting lollygag lessons from Ken & Hawkeye .We did some clipping to the hang site. Wigg & Darkbird have been exploring the cliffs. Will finish the trail up soon.

Life long friends are the ones ya can't BS because they really know you almost better than ya know yourself..Chances are they've seen us not at our best and were there for those times as well as the good ones..Great to see a couple of buds walking the woods and adding to the memories..Thanks for taking us along..

I started watching this on my phone last night as I crawled into bed, and of course my wife complained, "Why are those two guys singing?!?" So I had to wait till I got to my desk this morning to enjoy it.

"Spam-licker!" haha, good stuff. Thanks, waiting on #2......

Thanks for the upload Shug. I'm all caught up on all your vids. Excellent work! I have a slight twitch now but the Doc said it should go away.

"Why are those two guys singing?!?"

Cause we ain't right !!!!

[Shug]

Pals in the woods...dang it, I had to work today!

I have to work today))))

Nothing better than time in the woods with good friends

I really enjoyed that and anxiously wait for part 2

Sorry to miss seeing you and meeting Ann down there TZ. Hopefully soonest.

Well Shug another masterpiece of a video!! Sorry I missed you, was looking forward to seeing you and Hickory and HawkEye but had to roll out. Looks like you had a great time and cant wait to see the next video!!

Yessir…..would have liked to meet you too. The Grand Loop dictated our time so we missed a few folks.

Glad to see you guys back at it. Looks like you're having a blast. Thanks for sharing the video. Whooo buddy!!!

We did have a blast. The Loop has been a goal of ours for quite some time.

[Shug]

We had a big time at the Fall Back Hang in the Uwharries last weekend but often the campfire conversation was about " . . . we know Shug is in NC - wonder what he's doin? Probably down in the gorge!" Yep, now we know.

More Shug, more! Thanks as always for these great vids.

More coming…..! Glad you all had goodly hang in the Uwharries. Need to see that place.

Great stuff! I'll get down to that hole in the ground one of these years (shootin' for next year actually). Keep 'em comin' Shug! Part 2, part 2, part 2.......

It is a magical spot that draws you.

Yeah!! The Brothers are back. Thanks for taking us with you into the Gorge.

PS ... I have finished watching Part 1, shouldn't part 2 be posted by now?

Y'elcome and thankee from the hickory Brothers. My name's Sean……..

Thanks Shug. Looking forward to the next part. After all the Hickery brothers videos I always thought it was Ken, not Kent.

You and a lot of folks)))) Thankee for checking out our fun.

Woooooohooooo part 1 of the Hickery Bro's was mighty fine, glad to see you two out for a romp. Look forward to the next installment.

Uploading soon. We sure had fun. Hard to believe it is already over.

Thanks guys. Nice setup by the river . I like indian food

Me too. Some don't though. Camped around that spot with my Dad in 1972.

Another trail in the gorge to consider - Looks fun so far!
Thanks for sharing.

We hit several trails on this Grand Loop. Leadmine is like a roller-coaster)))))

Thanks for that look into your trip Shug. Sure was good to see you and Hicks over the weekend too. Looking forward to whatever else that little camera captured!

Ken

Sure enjoyed that time with you Ken. Finally got to eyeball the carving/diorama you did of the Hickery's. He has it on his mantle.

Yet another Gorgeous video (ow...) from the Hickery Bros.

Looks like the foliage was in full change while you were there. Beautiful area...

Is the river normally that low this time of year? I know it can get to be raging when the rains are right. And I'm not surprised that some folks tried to homestead there; the river would've brought perfect soil on down into that floodplain.

Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to parts to come!

Fall is low time for the river I reckon. The foliage was in full Glory)))))

Great to see the brothers together again.... Enjoyment 2.0

Haaaa…we had a 2.0 of a fantastic time!

Those fecund smells are what I love down there. Life and Death combined. We did not go up Pinchin….though we talked about it. I missed the rock Jock. Love that trail.
Had an easy walk to Laurel Knob.
We spoke of you. Did you feel us?

Fecund!?! I though he was making that up. Did get up to LK but we're getting lollygag lessons from Ken & Hawkeye .We did some clipping to the hang site. Wigg & Darkbird have been exploring the cliffs. Will finish the trail up soon.

You are Fecund))))))

So true. Hickery is one feller I am comfortable just being quiet around….for short spells of course.

great video, good use for a candle lantern. ;-) Thanks for posting!

Thankee….the lantern did nothing to dry those shoes but sure looked good trying.

I always cut a lot of singing out of the videos…….we sing a lot. And badly.

Thanks for the upload Shug. I'm all caught up on all your vids. Excellent work! I have a slight twitch now but the Doc said it should go away.

Put some balm and salve on the itch and twitch.

Cause we ain't right !!!!

We so right!
