DISCLAIMER: So I was using the Insta360 "Premium" Lens Guards on the day this video was shot. Some reviewers had warned me that the results may be mixed at best. They weren't kidding. A lot of my shots for this video were unacceptable. Other shots that I ended up using contain lens flare and light refraction from the sun. Some of these shots are not up to the standard that I typically like to uphold on this channel. Needless to say, I won't be using the screw-on glass lens guards in the future. I'll just be careful and take my chances! Hopefully, the random sunspots and excessive lens flare won't ruin the video for you.

I think that you should keep using the lens guard and just lower your standards. I recently lowered MY standards and ended up finding your channel! So while there may be cream at the top, sometimes you can find a tiny gold nugget that has sunk to the bottom 😂! Keep up the mediocre to good work and I will keep watching till you get cancelled (sort of like Falcon Crest). Now... where's that button you were talking about.....

Scott, I watched your video again last night with my wife so she could enjoy it also. She was appalled at my comment and said that I probably insulted you. I assured her that with your sense of humor you would know I was only giving you a hard time and was done with the utmost respect. If you did take it the wrong way, I do apologize! I love your channel, I appreciate your sense of humor, and you have inspired me to ride more and enjoy more trails. Now if you can only help me encourage my wife to do more of that native American gardening, I would appreciate it! Thanks for all you do. I promise to send you some okra when it comes in!

Thanks. Never really think about Morganton that much. Even though I was playing with a Gospel group there every other week. Ahhh, Stuckey's. Got into an argument with a man New Jersey at the one in Blacksburg SC. All about how far and how would it take him to reach Atlanta Ga from where we were.. Love your videos. They've inspired me to search out other trails. I was in Cherokee NC last week. But didn't have time to ride ,So thinking going back in couple of weeks. @17:04 - A biker gave advice on staying hydrated that really works. Drink a full bottle of water or Gatorade before riding. Then have another after. So I tried and it works great. But be prepared for a Restroom run later.

So ironic-I am local and only subscribed a few months ago…at that time I thought it would be cool if you did a video on our Greenway! Some clarification on Frankie Silver-she was actually a resident of the Kona community in present-day Mitchell County and the killing was in the tiny cabin she shared with her husband Charlie. At the time Burke was much bigger and went to the Tennessee border, including this area. That’s why she was tried and convicted in Burke.

I read your mind! 😂 sometimes the decision of where to go comes down to the last 24 hours… It just depends on my schedule, how far I can go away from home, whether I want to spend the night someplace, and most importantly the weather! So Morganton got the nod two weeks ago. Good information on Frankie Silver… So what do you think… Did she do it? Was it justified (self-defense)? Did she have help? I guess we’ll never know…

@@joyfultrails I am aware of the division of opinions surrounding this, and respect those who believe her father (or mother or brother) helped her. Mine is that she did it herself initially and MAY have had help after the fact. Even the exact way it happened is in doubt-some saying she killed him while he slept, and some saying in self-defense as he threatened or assaulted her. I'm close friends with a Mitchell County native and direct descendant of Frankie through her daughter. I have been to the church in Kona where Charlie is buried…in three graves. Let that sink in… ; )
