TDW 1775 - Venturing Off The Interstate

0:01 welcome everyone

0:01 Adam the woo here starting off today in

0:05 weeville

0:08 Virginia I parked directly you know it's

0:10 easier if I just show you let me go out

0:11 and show you I am parked directly

0:14 underneath a huge gargantuan water tower

0:17 that is in the shape or should I say the

0:19 color formation the painted formation of

0:22 a hot air balloon look at this thing

0:25 this is

0:27 amazing it's almost like it's just going

0:29 to like care into the heavens it's not

0:32 going to stay planted full of water it's

0:34 going to go sky high or

0:38 something it's my second channel daily

0:40 Vlog channel

0:55 coming the daily woo this is some

0:55 beautiful countryside to say the least

0:58 just look at those mountains doesn't get

1:00 much better than that I'm always

1:02 fascinated by these teeny tiny Church

1:04 buildings there's one of them in this

1:07 town as

1:08 well it says all welcome it means the

1:11 door's probably

1:24 open just three small simple pews on

1:24 this side another one here a Pulpit and

1:29 a stained glass Jeep Jesus and this over

1:32 here this looks like an old school

1:34 attendance board you'd have the

1:36 attendance and what the offering was and

1:39 they have just removed the lettering and

1:41 the names put their own words there I

1:44 often wonder if buildings of this size

1:46 have actual church services or if it's

1:48 more for personal contemplation more

1:52 than an actual preacher and a choire I

1:55 could see how you could come in here

1:57 relax and really do some think

2:00 in fact over here someone has written a

2:02 note to anyone who comes here if you're

2:05 here just to vandalize please leave many

2:08 people use this church so have some

2:12 respect that's a very good

2:24 point I think that's pretty much a good

2:24 roll of thumb for anyone's property if

2:26 it's not yours don't mess with it take a

2:28 picture look at it take a little video

2:31 take a nice Gander and then move

2:34 on check out this old gas station

2:38 here got it all fixed up nice now I've

2:42 seen a Coca-Cola sign that was made

2:43 completely out of metal before but I've

2:45 never seen one in that fashion one that

2:47 is dangling from the side of a building

2:50 all vintage looking like that rusting

2:52 out giving it a little Nostalgia

2:56 Ambiance that my friends is awesome when

2:59 wife County was formed this place became

3:02 the county seat under the name of evam

3:06 it was incorporated in 1839 as weville

3:09 part of the Boon Trail highway and they

3:12 have placed a piano here decorated with

3:15 paint I think there were supposed to be

3:17 Keys all across there but it's kind of

3:20 faded off over time this Diner named

3:22 skers is world famous for selling over 9

3:25 million hot dogs but that's not its only

3:28 claim to fame there's another one

3:30 that started right up here the wife of

3:33 President woodro Wilson was born right

3:36 up on the second floor behind those

3:39 windows I passed through here a few

3:41 years ago and skeers was closed now

3:43 they're open I'm going to see what all

3:45 the fuss is about I asked what their

3:46 specialty was and they said try the SLO

3:48 dog that's what I got SLO dog and a

3:50 little macaroni salad inside is a quaint

3:53 little old school Diner really cool

3:55 tablecloth and they have a lot of old

3:58 soda memorabilia Coca-Cola Cola Pepsi

4:01 ice cream stuff pretty cool little Vibe

4:03 here goes

4:13 nothing not

4:13 bad there's chili on here too messy but

4:17 not bad salad's good too all kind of

4:20 pieces of goodness down in there just

4:21 cruising the back roads the ones that

4:24 are less traveled by most but not by me

4:29 no no not by me the New River General

4:33 Store is painted to look like a fairy

4:36 boat there's a couple up there on the

4:38 ledge a hot air balloon a little rope

4:42 down there kerosene keeps me warm feels

4:47 so good to watch it burn and a big wheel

4:51 projecti the water my favorite is this

4:54 guy holding the pizza sign right there

4:56 oh wait a second wait a second

5:00 Tim tracker the inside does not look

5:04 like a boat however but they do have

5:06 some pretty sweet t-shirts I've been

5:09 staring at this for a few moments what

5:11 the heck is oozing off the top of that

5:14 that supposed to be a pizza I hope that

5:16 I hope that's cheese you can hear the

5:18 cars going over the top of that huge

5:20 Bridge what fascinates me I had to pull

5:22 over cuz there is a mansion back on this

5:26 hill behind that tree The Vines have

5:27 taken over deterioration is starting to

5:30 slowly rear its

5:32 head but in a way it's rather

5:36 beautiful and you have to wonder if the

5:39 sheer amount of vehicles that drive

5:41 across this bridge have any clue this is

5:44 even down here probably not the river

5:47 you see below is known as Jackson Ferry

5:50 this is the Shot Tower at Jackson fairy

5:55 took 5 years to

5:57 complete in 180

6:00 7 it was made quite operational it was

6:04 used for over 30 years and now remains

6:06 as a token of an era long gone the tower

6:09 stands 75 ft tall with the shaft in the

6:13 center that goes to the depth of 75 ft

6:16 which made the total drop

6:20 150

6:22 ft look at that thing who knew this was

6:25 out here I just saw it as I was driving

6:27 down the road some very old bales of hey

6:30 and a rundown

6:33 Homestead on this side a big barn that's

6:37 not in use anymore probably hasn't been

6:39 for quite some time a truck there just

6:44 rotting away and at the bottom of the

6:47 hill

6:48 cows plenty of cattle what do you guys

6:52 think about that big tower up there on

6:54 the hill pretty wild right pretty crazy

6:59 who

7:01 knew or should I say who Moved oh that

7:05 was that was bad I saw something kind of

7:07 random up here it looks to be like a

7:09 little bit of a makeshift Dam if you

7:11 will well not exactly but you can see

7:14 how the river on this end stops right

7:18 here and then there is an elevation that

7:20 drops straight

7:23 down a little waterfall

7:36 and there's even another section where

7:36 the water is formulating out over

7:49 there very peaceful out here no one

7:49 around just me did you ever see the

7:52 horror film it's alive this looks like

7:54 the tunnel that the baby the creepy baby

7:57 came out of

8:00 I'm getting out of here it's terrifying

8:04 wow look at

8:05 that the Cliffs of

8:08 insanity Little Princess Bride reference

8:11 for you this is one of those moments

8:13 that I'm really thankful that I have gas

8:14 in the tank so I haven't seen haven't

8:18 seen a fuel pump in quite a

8:20 while in fact I really haven't

8:22 seen much civilization other than a

8:25 couple homes in quite some time

8:30 but I do love this this is what it's all

8:32 about right

8:34 here out in the middle of nowhere on a

8:37 windy

8:38 road just me alone with my

8:42 thoughts and this guy right over here

8:45 him alone alone with

8:47 his lawn mower I should also add that

8:50 there is no cell phone service out here

8:53 I'll be I'll be

8:55 fine I'll be all right oh don't you frit

8:58 ain't no no harm going to come to you up

9:00 here on Ridge pulling into a very

9:04 small town by the name of Hillsville

9:06 first thing I see it's this awesome

9:09 Pepsi mural pretty quaint downtown old

9:12 hotel here on the right shoe store on

9:15 the

9:16 left Banner stretching across the road

9:19 that's that's is nostalgic an old school

9:22 of town feel as you can get right there

9:34 it's a house coming through whoa whoa

9:35 house coming through that's a good one

9:36 back there on that

9:39 wall little Dr Pepper

9:41 action

9:44 nice this bridge is located in a place

9:46 called Fancy Gap name of this town is

9:49 Fancy Gap Fancy Gap Virginia this road

9:53 is basically going at a 45° angle

9:56 straight down it's very windy

10:00 W not the best road conditions in the

10:02 world either left hand side the

10:04 mountain right hand side the

10:08 ledge look at that view over there oh my

10:11 gosh stopped off now at the store by the

10:13 name of mountain

10:19 man right here in the

10:19 Hills antiques vegetables fruits flowers

10:25 for some reason I knew I would see the

10:28 king in here

10:41 I have to wonder what is in that jar

10:41 right there are those apples are they

10:46 edible some old cow horns and skulls

10:49 here

10:52 and good thing the Wasps are not in

10:54 there that is a hornet's

10:56 nest right there nailed to that tree or

10:59 hanging from that tree they have an

11:01 entire room

11:03 dedicated to ham they sell ham in here

11:07 this is the ham

11:14 room but no smoking in here no smoking

11:14 in the ham room I did buy something

11:16 called wh Hound oldfashioned hard

11:20 candies soothing to the throat I've

11:23 never tried these these honestly aren't

11:26 half bad there's a lot of things I like

11:28 about having an RV there's a lot of

11:31 things I don't really care for about

11:33 having the RV the best things obviously

11:35 are being able to sleep in it use the

11:37 restroom use the microwave some of the

11:40 negative aspects are when you're driving

11:42 through small towns having someone on

11:45 your tail constantly I don't drive as

11:47 fast as others and doing a urn is very

11:50 difficult ends up turning into a three

11:53 four five six or seven or eight point

11:56 turn occasionally because of the size

11:59 24 ft is the model that I have but above

12:03 all those things The Grass Is Always

12:05 Greener they say so they're always is

12:08 positives and negatives to anything but

12:11 the one thing I never want to

12:14 be to become a habit the one thing I

12:17 never want to happen is become

12:20 completely predictable on where my path

12:23 is that I am heading and you can only go

12:26 so fast and so far in an RV that's why I

12:30 always want to mix things up that's why

12:31 the other day I was mentioning Jumping

12:33 On a Plane occasionally and just who

12:35 knows where I will be the following day

12:40 so do not be surprised if that happens

12:43 do not be shocked if at some point in

12:46 the future it probably won't be tomorrow

12:47 or the next day or next week but at some

12:49 point in the future I might end up in a

12:52 totally different Spectrum a different

12:55 realm than the path you thought I was on

12:58 I'll see you guys tomorrow Vlog oh yeah

13:00 by the way I'm now I'm now walking into

13:04 North Carolina of course I'm actually

13:05 going to go back and get my RV and drive

13:08 into North Carolina but I'm in North

13:11 Carolina now

13:13 Vlog over
