that plane is about to hit those birds
0:06
or the birds are about to hit the plane
0:08
it just missed them by by mere feet or
0:11
at least that's what it appeared to look
0:12
like from my angle welcome everyone Adam
0:14
the woo here a lot of people fly into
0:16
the central Florida area on a daily
0:19
basis and why not there is a heck of a
0:21
lot of fun things to do Walt Disney
0:23
World Bush Gardens SeaWorld Universal
0:26
Studios and a plethora of other things
0:29
but there's a lot of stuff more lowkey
0:31
more peaceful
0:33
more a breath of fresh air away from
0:36
some of those busy theme parks in the
0:38
same neck of the
0:41
woods that's good it's my second channel
0:43
daily Vlog channel it's the da W today I
0:48
want to check out Pioneer Village at
0:50
Shingle Creek located at
0:53
2491 bab Road and just to give you a
0:56
little perspective of what else is on
0:57
the property here down this road Road
1:00
where you see the sign that says dead
1:01
end off there in the distance a lot of
1:04
local Legends say that road and those
1:07
woods are haunted and it was not far
1:09
from that very spot where I made the
1:10
announcement years ago that I had been
1:12
trespassed from Walt Disney World which
1:14
has of course now been lifted I've
1:16
talked about that in the past but those
1:18
two key points aside I have never ever
1:22
wandered the rest of this premises I got
1:26
to check this out Doc in the early 1900s
1:28
the bab family settled along Shingle
1:31
Creek on this property once roads and
1:34
bridges were established the names and
1:36
locations faded into history but were at
1:38
time essential to the creation of the
1:41
communities of Shingle Creek and CMI it
1:45
is a recreation of the period from 1880
1:48
to 1916 and this photo is of nusi
1:51
Florida which is where I was yesterday
1:53
for that reenactment and that's the old
1:55
Main Street very similar to what they
1:58
have recreated ated here I would have
2:01
never known that if it wasn't for that
2:03
young lad right there holding the sign
2:05
thanks buddy I stand corrected this
2:07
Homestead is an original house this
2:11
church of course is not it's being built
2:14
from scratch but this little cabin that
2:16
was also transported all the way from
2:19
the other side of Oola County there was
2:20
an entire family reared inside that
2:25
building the homestead of James C Tyson
2:28
and even though that is the correct
2:30
terminology when you raise a family and
2:32
kids I can see why we don't really use
2:36
that wording much anymore after a long
2:38
day on the farm I bet it was nice to sit
2:41
on the porch and enjoy the
2:43
breeze one day I'll have a porch and
2:46
some rocking chairs just like
2:48
this one
2:50
day very humble accommodations to say
2:53
the
2:54
least by today's standards this would be
2:57
an efficiency apartment the the only
3:00
difference being an entire family lived
3:03
in this one well one and a half room
3:07
place you can see the washboard in the
3:09
tub there and an ironing board do people
3:12
still iron their clothes and the reason
3:14
I'm not walking over there there's this
3:16
line here that says please do not
3:19
cross you can't go past there another
3:22
interesting observation I just had when
3:24
we think of an old timey church we think
3:26
of the one that they are creating right
3:30
here but look at this First Christian
3:33
Church Circa
3:36
1883 the First Baptist
3:39
Church look at that it's just made out
3:42
of made out of foliage which pretty much
3:44
drives the point home a church is not a
3:47
building and a home is not a house it's
3:51
the contents thereof not the facade and
3:54
I guess around that time frame that sort
3:56
of construction material was commonly
3:59
used as especially by the simol Indians
4:02
according to this sign there was a song
4:06
I can't remember who sang it about the
4:08
Floridian simol Indians blow blow simol
4:13
wind blow like you ever going to blow
4:17
who sang that song they use these for a
4:19
wide variety of reasons either to cook
4:23
to store things and even to sleep and
4:26
the more I look at it it makes a lot of
4:28
sense because you have the shelter of
4:30
the roof but then you also have the open
4:32
air so you get a breeze ways through
4:34
there so feels pretty good to spend the
4:38
night under one of those the only issue
4:40
I would have would be the mosquitoes if
4:43
there is one of those creatures in the
4:45
room it will be on my arm embedding its
4:48
nostril likee fangs into my bloodstream
4:52
in the late 1880s these gentlemen on
4:54
Horseback would set up something called
4:57
a Cow Camp similar to what we are
5:00
looking at here and it says they would
5:02
be in the saddle up to 12 hours a day
5:06
when I'm driving around in Large Marge a
5:08
rental car or even my former van I have
5:11
like a 10hour driving cut off limit
5:13
that's when I start to get a little bit
5:14
loopy in my mind starts playing tricks
5:16
on me imagine being in a saddle 2 hours
5:19
longer than that and slightly a little
5:21
bit less comfortable this is a sugar
5:23
cane grinder you would hook up the end
5:28
of that wooden pole on on to the horse
5:31
and the horse would walk around in a
5:33
circle thus churning and crushing the
5:37
sugar cane which would be wedged inside
5:40
that metal container there in the center
5:42
and you got to wonder what all these
5:43
tourists on their way to Florida are
5:45
thinking looking down from the airplane
5:48
and they see this they thought they were
5:50
going to see Cinderella Castle but
5:52
they're seeing old
5:54
Florida they're very confused right now
5:57
and you couldn't really be a Florida
5:59
Pioneer without a Cattle Barn well I
6:02
guess you could have been but you would
6:03
have been probably an outcast if you did
6:06
not own cattle because that was kind of
6:08
the thing to do back then this is where
6:10
the horses and maybe even some cows hung
6:12
out I'll check it out there's a brand on
6:15
ground in the sand normally you see a
6:19
brand on a cow's hide not in the
6:22
sand that's probably better less painful
6:25
for the cow it is
6:27
incredible how much of an aerona IAL
6:29
thoroughfare this is and this gates open
6:33
I'm going to see what's in you like that
6:34
word you like those words I use
6:36
aeronautical thoroughfare that's some
6:38
big words I don't think I use them
6:39
correctly but it sounded right you guys
6:41
ever just make up terminology on your
6:43
own when you're just hanging out in
6:45
there and you're just having
6:47
conversations do you ever say something
6:49
to your friend you think that didn't
6:50
make any sense but the thing about
6:53
friendship is no matter what your buddy
6:56
says you just go with it you just get it
6:59
it's a thing called slang I like to make
7:02
up my own
7:03
slang is there a foul
7:07
slang I wonder if there's a fowl slang
7:09
there's a few other people out here they
7:12
look a little hungry I think I'm going
7:14
to ring the dinner
7:17
bell come and get
7:25
it they're not paying nobody even looked
7:27
over here that was a complete fail there
7:29
are quite a few of these signs saying
7:32
please do not cross and at first I
7:34
thought it meant do not go inside the
7:38
premises and mess with the artifacts but
7:41
in reality you never want to cross a
7:44
farmer do not double cross a man who
7:48
works in the field what did I just say
7:51
they should make a movie about that
7:52
though bring Steven Sagal out of
7:54
retirement he could be sitting right
7:56
there and then his other family members
7:57
tell him about someone who stabbed him
7:59
in the back you don't want to make
8:01
Steven cagal upset trust me I believe
8:04
inside here was where they stored the
8:07
meat oh yeah look country
8:11
ham a mild cure Virginia ham that would
8:16
hang right
8:18
there on that
8:20
rope along this wooden pole they would
8:24
dangle the ham and that didn't sound
8:27
right another curious question question
8:29
I have is what the heck is this like
8:34
what does this do any ideas what this
8:40
right here
8:46
is no idea this looks like the backside
8:46
of one of those photo op opportunities
8:49
where you stick your head and there's
8:50
characters on the other wait there
8:53
aren't characters on the other side
8:55
they've just taken a Sharpie and wrote I
8:59
got caught at Pioneer Village Oola
9:04
County Florida it kind of works though
9:06
in its own weird way man these things
9:09
are so so
9:10
uncomfortable I know what building this
9:13
is I'm looking for that no good cheating
9:15
blacksmith is he in
9:17
here is he in here no why would he be in
9:22
here Adam this is not the blacksmith
9:24
shop it's a fruit
9:28
mechanism what the heck this is not what
9:31
I was looking for I was told when I
9:33
entered the property by the way it cost
9:35
$7 to get in here and it helps with
9:37
upkeep of the property there's an ouse
9:39
here to the left but I was informed that
9:42
this building this structure was also an
9:45
Old Homestead a few books there on the
9:48
box no McGuffy readers I always like to
9:51
keep an eye out for the old school
9:53
McGuffy
9:54
readers but as part for the course for
9:57
that time frame just a little one one
9:59
bedroom place with two beds two twin
10:02
beds and if you were one of the few to
10:03
be a little bit more well off a little
10:05
bit more wealthy you would have a
10:08
kitchen that was separated from the rest
10:11
of the house you'd walk out the bedroom
10:13
onto the side porch and you would enter
10:16
into the dining area and where you would
10:20
prepare the food all right inside here
10:24
away from the rest of the living
10:26
quarters wait a second are those
10:30
alive wait those need nutrients I don't
10:32
know those definitely are not
10:47
here a little living room/ office
10:47
area fancy I really love the wood
10:50
flooring as well and I don't think it's
10:53
part of the theming for that era there's
10:56
a fire hydrant right there in the mirror
10:59
but it's good to have though especially
11:00
with all this all this wood the
11:02
schoolhouse is not original it is a
11:05
recreation but a fantastic
11:08
job for sure this is awesome but once
11:12
again don't see any McGuffy readers did
11:14
you hear the echo in there kind of
11:16
spooky if you would have been hanging
11:18
around the village Depot like this back
11:20
in the late
11:22
1800s you would have seen some beautiful
11:24
women dressed like that I really like
11:27
that era clothing I think that's why I
11:30
like Dapper Day so much everyone dressed
11:32
to the nines and their Sunday Best even
11:34
if it's not on Sunday you'd have your
11:36
suitcases ready to board the train or
11:39
they would ship Citrus out of here or in
11:42
this case fish they would ship trout on
11:46
a train well I guess they would I never
11:49
never thought about that though and what
11:50
have we here now I have found it I'm
11:53
looking for that no good cheating
11:55
blacksmith that never gets old or maybe
11:58
it does I've gotten quite Adept to shoe
12:01
horses and fixing wagons what about you
12:05
lizard have you seen him have you seen
12:08
him I'm looking for that no good
12:10
cheating blacksmith I haven't seen him
12:15
huh he's nowhere to be
12:18
found he's nowhere to be
12:21
found I'll find
12:23
him don't you worry about that I'll find
12:27
him there's this old classic truck just
12:31
chilling
12:32
here underneath the shade of the old
12:36
barn and there's another one right over
12:39
there next to the playground you can
12:41
barely see it but it's right there in
12:43
the corner now for whatever reason they
12:45
have deemed this area off limits but
12:49
look at
12:50
that that's a relic when I first got
12:53
here I showed the address was located on
12:55
bab Road that's because it was named
12:57
after the bab family and it sits on the
12:59
old orange grov Circa 1920 where they
13:04
had their trees Orange Groves for Miles
13:07
lots of vitamin C which is well needed
13:09
for the children because when they got
13:10
out of school they didn't sit around
13:12
playing video games they worked in the
13:14
fields crazy huh and I don't know for
13:17
certain if this was one of their crops
13:20
because I do not know what the heck type
13:24
of
13:25
plant this is can you eat these are
13:29
these edible or if you consume them will
13:32
you have a little bit of a into the wild
13:35
moment all in all a very fantastic Place
13:37
rich in history and while you're here if
13:40
you stopped by make sure you tell these
13:42
two I said hello they had a little store
13:45
on site check out these old bags like
13:48
old ads from newspapers and I picked up
13:50
this book Oola County the first hundred
13:54
years I love history so it's going to be
13:58
nice to flip flip through this and read
14:00
read up on some stuff I probably never
14:02
knew before and I couldn't pass up
14:05
getting this Relic for $2 this Florida
14:08
orange made of plastic you put baking
14:11
soda in it as demonstrated on this 1980
14:15
style photo of someone with very thin
14:20
fingers holding the product I've never
14:23
seen this before and I'm convinced I'm
14:26
convinced it's almost close to antique
14:29
in years I love it I stopped off at
14:31
Walmart now and they have one of those
14:34
crane machines called grab and
14:45
fun I think I'm going to go for this
14:47
green guy right
14:50
here I think that
14:53
works get him get him yes yes
14:57
no w
15:05
for anyone who does anything creative in
15:05
my case YouTube videos maybe you do
15:08
vlogs or you do semi-regular videos on
15:12
this platform of YouTube you know that
15:15
there is a percentage usually a very
15:17
small percentage of people who are
15:19
overly boisterous and
15:22
overly vocal about being negative if you
15:26
do something they overanalyze it and
15:28
they look at
15:29
the negative aspect versus the positive
15:32
and that's human nature for a lot of
15:34
people we're all guilty of it I'm guilty
15:37
of it you're guilty of it they are
15:38
guilty of it some people have a better
15:41
filter than others and some people just
15:44
let to their emotions fly on the
15:47
keyboard and that's to be expected with
15:50
the internet and sometimes that can be a
15:53
little bit discouraging not completely
15:56
overwhelming discouraging but sometimes
15:58
it gets to you a little bit and I want
16:00
to share with you an example today I was
16:03
having lunch with a friend and we were
16:04
talking about how the more popular and
16:08
the more views your YouTube channel gets
16:12
you're always going to have a certain
16:15
demographic a certain percentage of
16:17
those watching who are not going to like
16:20
certain videos certain content
16:21
especially in my situation when I try to
16:25
mix up the content and always do
16:27
something a little bit different
16:28
everything from graveyards to historical
16:32
stuff to sometimes tragic events to
16:35
theme parks the other opposite of the
16:37
spectrum the happiest places on Earth I
16:40
do a whole mish mash of content and not
16:45
everyone's going to like one type of
16:47
content as much as they like another so
16:50
I was having lunch with my friend lunch
16:52
early dinner today and we were talking
16:55
about that and as I was talking about
16:58
how sometimes it can bother you a little
17:01
bit because for me I try to make
17:04
everyone happy I want everyone who comes
17:06
in contact with what I am presenting out
17:09
here on the internet to enjoy it to go
17:12
away with a smile and when that does not
17:14
always happen sometimes it it it makes
17:17
me frown inside and as I was telling him
17:20
this a little girl a very young girl
17:24
walked up to our table tapped me on the
17:27
arm and said I really like your
17:31
videos and I needed to hear that at that
17:35
point it was the
17:37
right exact second the exact minute in
17:41
that conversation in that frame of topic
17:45
we were
17:46
discussing it was the right time for her
17:49
to walk up and after she introduced
17:51
herself and I introduced myself back to
17:54
her her family came over and said how
17:56
much they liked the content that that I
17:58
am putting out there so do not ever get
18:01
discouraged by anyone who is negative or
18:05
is trying to put you down someone that
18:07
is not doing what you are doing and does
18:09
not share your opinion it does not
18:11
necessarily mean that they are wrong and
18:14
you are right or vice versa it's just a
18:17
different of opinion it's what makes
18:18
this whole wonderful world go
18:22
around little tip a little insight from
18:25
me to you was on my mind and I want
18:28
wanted to share that with you have a
18:30
great day I'll see you guys tomorrow the
18:32
Vlog is over
