Amen Coach
Love Clinton and the Museum there.
I have it in my head that I want to vacation in TN especially. A great state as a younger man I’d go to Knoxville, Nashville, and Gatlinburg. But busy bustling cities and tourist spots are no longer my goal instead smaller towns like this in TN would feel special to visit. This channel has gotten bigger and better with each video.
This was great. 😊
Yes it was!
Thank you!
Great presentation! I enjoyed this thoroughly. Clinton is one of my favorites. I used to go through there whenever i was dodging the scales...er ah missing Knoxville traffic.
Chocolate gravy and chicken and dumplings.. are my fav. I didn’t know all of this existed. Thanks for sharing John ❤️
Glad you enjoyed!
