ViDEO: Linville Gorge 2012 with the Hickery Brothers

[Shug]

That is absolutely the last straw! To get even, I'm going to BBQ King for lunch. :P

I can smell it))))))

A smile always gauranteed Shug! The vid was first thing I did after waking up today, was kinda blah thinking about returning to work tonight-not now!

Thanks MM....trying to catch up to all your recent forays!

The Hikery Brothers, Back In Action! Always a good time, there Shug!

Glad your foot didn't give out on you. Not sure if I'd be willing to eat shrimp hummus m'self--I'm not from Louisiana. Them frog legs did look good, though. Especially with fresh corn on the cob. You can go wrong with Old Bay, but it takes effort.

Which hammock is that? It sure does look comfy. I'm liking the look of that cuben tarp, too...my wallet, less so...

Cool trick with the Ziplock. Not sure if I'd trust one with my camera deliberately submerged. Fine for rain, and I'm willing to gamble at stream crossings, but I don't know if I'd deliberately put it under water. You're a braver man than I. Glad the baggie held!

Looking forward to Part 2 and more!

The corn took on all the flavors in that DO....sooooo good.
It is my DIY Greenbean hammock. Used the directions here: http://www.tothewoods.net/HomemadeHammock.html
Good baggie for sure!

Shug, Great to see another Hickery Bros Linville Gorge trip vid! Glad to hear the plantar didn't stop ya from going. When can we expect the remaining footage? You've got us all on the edge of our seats!!!

Thanks on the foot. Ached at end of day...flat walking was the worst.
Working on part 2......

Yea Buddy finally some Shug pickin 'n Singin! Great vid, one of these days I gotta make it down to the Gorge!

Thanks feller. You gotta make it....hammocks rule there.

Entertaining as always.

We bow deeply. And sing.

Always good to see the Hickery Brothers in their natural habitat

I guess Hickery's gonna have to go back to karate chopping the kindling

Can't wait for the up coming episodes

It does feel homey there homey! Heard ya'lls trip was a goodie as well.

Love me some Hickory Bros. I really enjoyed that, and look fwd to the next installment.
P.S. I'm not a doctor, but next time the ol' plantar fasciitis flares up, ya might consider leaving the dutch oven at home

I get Hickery to carry it. Thanks Red.

Shug, Have been eagerly awaiting this year's installment of the Gorge mini-series. I must say the shrimp spread was much more appealing than last year's brains and milk gravy. I still gag when I think about that nasty stuff. Looking forward to the remainder. Thanks again for taking the time to share it with us.

Naw...thar shrimp stuff is just Hickery's normal lunch spread!!!! We got nasty to come for sure. We did not get a storm this year though.......oh well.

looks like y'all picked the perfect week to go hang in the gorge!
thanks for the jocularity.

Jocularity was the calling card of the week. Hickery toted your wee stove....cider every evening...fortified.

Another great video Shug! Classic, I'd say....
Now I'm even itching more to get to that Big Ditch in a couple of weeks!!

It awaits you....it whispers your name. We heard it. Really!
Yoiur gonna have a terrific time.

Enjoyed it. Can't help wondering how many cameras you go through in a year.

Only my second one.....tough lil' camera. Thanks.

fun to watch the 50-something boys at play! Have you ever had another party come upon you when you're doing your various Hickery Brothers signature song snippets? Can imagine they'd just sort of back away, carefully, and quietly...

[Walking Bear]

Great fun to watch. I think the half life of a Shug camera must be about two stunts. You must have new ones air lifted in each day. Looking for the next report.

[Old River Rat]

Entertaining as always. Again, you have made me think of how long it has been since I have had frog legs. I kinda want to try that shrimp paste.

[toygun]

Another action packed episode of the Adventures of the Hickery Brothers!! I can't wait to see the rest of the trip. You guys always look like you are having a blast. I guess that's what it's all about.

Good stuff indeed!!

[MedicineMan]

Forgot something----tell me why the shrimp spread makes my mouth water and the pink brains make me cringe!

[Doody]

Thanks for a fine video, Shug. I'm going to have to see this famous gorge someday soon.

[lazy river road]

Yea Buddy finally some Shug pickin 'n Singin! Great vid, one of these days I gotta make it down to the Gorge!

So when we making the trip down??? Lets pick some dates

Great vid. as always and until I can make it down to the Gorge myself Ill live vicariously through your videos and enjoy the piney woods in these parts. Thanks for the awesome entertainment as always, its great how you always "shake it, shake it, Shugeree" in the vids. Always gets me dancing. Looking forward to part 2,3,4,5,6......and all the adventures to come.

TIS a gleefully way to wake up in the morn
with the hickory brothers singing on their sojourn.
To await to see what the day might hold,
we are blessed to hear their voices so bold,
declaring for all to hear
"WE ARE THE HICKORY BROTHERS"
the voice of the gorge arises with the sun and settles down upon our favorite sons
thanks from all the other sectors

Holly number two, an ad! Good, that’s the video I’ve been waiting/hoping for. Your big trip to the Linville Gorge. I was a bit disappointed to see that it only went for 11 minutes, and I was gearing up to give you a big lecture on why you should make your videos longer (I need to make mine shorter – working on it).

Anyway... I pressed play and was pleased to see “part one” appear on the screen (just as well, Buster). I hit pause to admire the crafty and creative Hickery heading. It must have taken a while to make. Plantar fasciitis doesn't sound too good! During the brief silence after one of you, or both of you sing, I listen for someone near by to shout out, “SHUT UP!” lol It must freak the wildlife out.

Thanks for the video, Mr.Shug, it was pure joy from go to whoa!
