TDW 1789 - Traveling Takes Its Toll

0:03 Harvey De Grace I think that's how you

0:03 pronounce it starting off in this very

0:06 tiny Maryland

0:08 town but I will not be in the state for

0:11 much longer cuz I am very quickly

0:13 approaching yet another state line and

0:17 while this bridge is incredibly epic and

0:19 old school as you can get don't think

0:23 you're going to get across this thing

0:25 without paying a fee have a great day H

0:27 okay thank you you too

0:36 I had to pay the piper well in this case

0:36 toll booth

0:44 worker welcome to

0:44 Delaware

0:46 now prepare to pay yet another toll

0:50 welcome everyone Adam the woo here and

0:52 they are so proud of their toll system

0:55 that they have erected this Monument

1:00 in front of the Welcome Center I don't

1:04 think you're supposed to pay a allll

1:06 wait did I just did I just not pay at

1:08 allll shh don't tell anyone it's my

1:11 second channel daily Vlog channel it's

1:14 the

1:15 daily in my life so far I have not spent

1:18 a lot of time in this state I did

1:21 however about four five six years ago

1:23 when I was in a band we played in do the

1:27 whole rest the whole rest of the area

1:30 I'm completely unfamiliar with I did not

1:32 realize that they are taxfree that might

1:35 be why there are so many toll roads to

1:38 combat the

1:40 taxless and there is a clay head of JFK

1:45 behind that

2:00 huh this oversized love is making its

2:00 way down the thoroughfare but what is it

2:04 what the heck is under those tarps I

2:09 have stopped off in the historic town of

2:12 Newcastle there was no room for large

2:14 margin here so I had to park the RV way

2:16 down there but look at these roads look

2:19 at the old rock on the sides of the new

2:25 pavement pretty cool it's very peaceful

2:28 and beautiful here

2:30 but as Majestic as these homes are what

2:35 I really wanted to check out is this

2:38 location right over here given the name

2:42 packet alley this is the most historic

2:46 alley anywhere in the entire State boats

2:49 from Philadelphia met stage coaches here

2:52 and look at the names that walked this

2:55 exact spot Andrew Jackson daav Crockett

2:58 Daniel Webster Sam Houston Stonewall

3:02 Jackson holy cow that is a that is an

3:06 impressive list of people historical

3:10 figures that were in the exact spot as I

3:13 am right now in fact this whole area

3:16 appears to be rich in history look at

3:18 that Coca-Cola mural there on the side

3:21 of the

3:28 wall pretty awesome little

3:28 downtown including the center

3:31 point this fantastic structure you don't

3:34 see

3:35 mailboxes like this much anymore that is

3:39 a relic that is quite the

3:43 antique I have to wonder they still put

3:46 letters in there back in the mid 1600s

3:48 they used to have markets right here in

3:51 this open field but not just that the

3:54 old jail stood here as well

3:57 as the Gallows

4:00 it looks as if they are

4:02 removing the newer road the newish road

4:06 and

4:07 revealing

4:14 history that's right

4:14 ma'am you just drove over history I am

4:18 here if you look very closely it's a

4:21 definitely squint a little you can see

4:23 me standing right in the middle of that

4:26 X that marks the spot and this is the

4:29 old old prison

4:32 yard it's not here

4:34 anymore but it was at one time built in

4:38 the mid

4:39 1850s this slab of stone

4:44 documents the names of those who helped

4:48 create the courthouse which still stands

4:52 to this day this is the Dutch house and

4:55 Gardens Circa

4:57 1700 man I could see myself living and

4:59 something like that they're on the right

5:01 in the homestead and then use the

5:04 structure to the left as an

5:06 office that would be Perfection these

5:09 have to take the cake on some of the

5:11 most beautiful cobblestone streets I've

5:14 ever seen the addition of the grass and

5:17 Moss protruding up through the Rocks

5:21 really give it a cool Ambiance there's a

5:25 cemetery over here founded wow 16

5:30 89 these dates are incredible passed

5:34 away in

5:46 1768 that was a very long time ago and

5:46 here's something you don't see too often

5:49 a receiving Vault with a huge metal door

5:55 that you open

5:57 up what is being re deceived I think I

6:01 know but oh my goodness you get into

6:05 other areas of the country away from the

6:07 east coast and you normally don't see

6:11 headstones with date stamps going this

6:14 far back I'm sure around here it's

6:16 pretty common but when I see this it

6:19 really blows my mind this was 2 years

6:22 before the Declaration of Independence

6:25 was even signed hopped on Highway 1

6:28 South

6:30 going down into the nether regions of

6:32 this fine State what's that big the foot

6:36 oh must be Bert Reynolds or something

6:39 this bridge is

6:43 impressive most impressive and the storm

6:46 clouds that are

6:49 developing that's nothing to sneeze at

6:52 either oh look off on the horizon there

6:55 is a huge Smoke Stack

7:01 just an overload of things to look

7:04 at and you guessed it another toll have

7:09 a good day okay thank you you

7:23 too that one was only a dollar not too

7:23 bad there is a crash plane on the grass

7:27 there spray painted fright land on the

7:31 side and off on the horizon prepare

7:35 thyselves for the

7:38 skull

7:40 Silo it has glowing red

7:45 eyes

7:47 horrifying

7:52 horrifying while I'm waiting for this

7:52 light to turn I'm noticing there is a

7:55 Wawa over here but this is not what I am

7:57 normally familiar with this is not a

8:00 convenience store or a gas station

8:02 version this is a grocery

8:05 store I had no idea I never realized

8:09 they were in the grocery business as

8:11 well learn something new every

8:26 day TOS tolls everywhere is tolls taking

8:26 my coins and my dollar bit I had two

8:30 options to get into the state today when

8:32 I started off I could have gone South

8:34 from Baltimore down through DC and over

8:36 a huge bridge but traffic-wise it made

8:39 more sense to go up north 95 a little

8:42 bit then cut across and then head

8:44 through the non-tracking areas here on

8:48 US1 heading south so that's what I chose

8:51 to do according to this sign the rest

8:54 area has vending machines a telephone

8:59 and something else that is completely

9:02 questionable it is rare to see one that

9:05 has porta potties and not indoor

9:11 restrooms that's different well I stand

9:14 corrected they do have indoor facilities

9:17 as well you have two options porta potty

9:21 or indoor plumbing and in case you are

9:23 wondering what the layout and shape of

9:25 the state was this neon dangling from

9:28 the window will answer your question in

9:31 the information area in order to get in

9:34 you have one of these Superman type

9:37 doors where you walk through as Clark

9:39 Kent and you emerge on the inside as

9:44 Superman well it didn't work I didn't

9:46 grow a cape but they did give me they

9:49 did give me this keychain for free

9:51 pretty

9:59 awesome I always like grabbing these

9:59 real Maps yeah you can use you can use

10:02 GPS on your

10:03 phone but just not the same as actually

10:06 looking at

10:08 something in front of your

10:37 I'm starting to wonder if every single

10:37 Road

10:38 here you have to give change to utilize

10:43 them it appears that way nearly every

10:46 exit in every road got to got to toss a

10:49 little coin in

11:09 come

11:09 on I need

11:32 success 50 sense that's not too bad not

11:32 bad at all of course when you do it 18

11:35 times in a day Straight

11:36 Ahead the do International

11:40 Speedway look at the size of that place

11:43 and if the magnitude of the structure is

11:45 not impressive

11:47 enough look at this guy a rock monster

11:54 holding a race

11:57 car huge he's

12:00 gargantuan and just like that skull

12:03 Silo he also has red

12:07 eyes what is it about the

12:10 retinas of

12:12 delarian

12:19 creatures I don't know I'm asking I'm

12:19 asking I'm asking an actual question

12:20 does anyone really know why all the eyes

12:22 are red on all the the Monstrous statues

12:25 around here I'll see you guys tomorrow

12:28 thanks for watching
