Transcript
0:03
today's adventure brings me to Virginia
0:03
Small Town Virginia I'll be going to a
0:05
couple different communities
0:07
starting off on this road as a recording
0:09
of us is Tuesday April 11th
0:12
2023 on the outskirts of Clifton Forge
0:16
this old factory is an Old Furnace
0:28
welcome everyone Adam the Wu here I have
0:28
failed to purchase sunglasses
0:36
don't get too close to the edge
0:36
also my friend Brittany is here don't go
0:38
over the edge there careful there's a
0:41
Ledge
0:45
uh I'm really worried about you standing
0:47
that close to the edge
0:49
that could cave no no but that what that
0:53
is concrete
1:03
Brittany is a local she's going to show
1:03
me around
1:04
I haven't been in this area in like five
1:06
or six years
1:08
but I'm back to explore some things I
1:12
have not seen
1:13
in this area I'm inviting you
1:18
to join me
1:20
I gotta see that rock oh check out this
1:22
classic truck alert
1:27
shall you
1:29
it's a heart rock
1:32
yeah
1:36
part Rock
1:39
you're seeing a heart in the rock
1:49
you're seeing that as a heart did you
1:49
ever see that
1:55
okay so there's a little information
1:55
placard here the interesting fact is
1:57
this is probably a good
1:59
two or three hundred yards
2:02
from the furnaces themself
2:11
Lucy Selena furnace furnace was first
2:11
built in 1827 by Iron master John Jordan
2:14
and John Irvine it was named for their
2:16
wives
2:17
Lucy and Selena
2:25
a lot of old houses around here too
2:37
I'm sure back in the day this was quite
2:37
quite a fantastic place to live oh it
2:40
might have been a gas station
2:41
look at this so it could be the gas
2:43
pumps here
2:49
so evidently that might have been the
2:49
store there
2:51
there's some sort of a light up here
2:58
well it would take us a light or like
2:58
some sort of a bell I think it's a light
3:01
and then here's where the gas pumps
3:03
would have been
3:04
and possibly the person who owned the
3:06
business lived there as well
3:09
a lot of these houses in this area when
3:11
I was driving around earlier
3:12
remind me a lot of the Myers house from
3:14
Halloween
3:16
and we're gonna walk across this little
3:18
Bridge there's a gentleman that lived at
3:20
this house I'm starting the intro
3:22
kind of gave us a little wave and a nod
3:25
so we're just going to assume we're not
3:27
gonna go on his property over here
3:29
but off to the side
3:31
just gonna get a view from here
3:37
so this is adjacent to the house next
3:40
door
3:46
whichever these Thorns yeah that's where
3:46
I'm not like
3:48
yeah and I definitely don't
4:00
look at that little door there
4:00
you can see how it's all caved in though
4:02
the bricks have all caved in
4:15
well I'm not caved in maybe that was
4:15
built that way
4:16
just looks like it's caved in from the
4:18
distance oh there's an old car back
4:19
there
4:20
so you've been over here before right
4:29
have you ever checked out that car
4:29
around the back I have actually
4:32
years ago
5:01
yeah I've been going inside there not
5:01
the smartest thing
5:05
you gonna go in
5:05
you're gonna go in
5:11
just be careful that roof does not look
5:11
safe
5:18
okay you got some hay in here
5:18
waterlogged moldy hay
5:32
yeah look at that that's uh not good I
5:33
feel like one good long stiff win
5:35
through here
5:37
like a storm would probably take this
5:39
down
5:50
look at these banisters
5:57
uh no I don't fly back
5:57
I'm gonna say no don't climb that
6:13
this would be a great spot for like a
6:13
like a photo shoot
6:19
yeah that looks awesome stuff I could
6:19
see ash from people dead driving that
6:21
car on the back
6:23
I'm gonna go look at it
6:25
oh it was barbed wire here
6:28
okay maybe this is where the maybe this
6:29
is where the property starts well I
6:31
don't know maybe not
6:38
evidently so yeah
6:38
so I'm not gonna go past the past the
6:39
barbed wire spot
6:41
yeah they got this barbed wire here it's
6:42
like a little trip wire right yeah so
6:44
I'm guessing he probably the gentleman
6:46
that owns that got a wave to us
6:47
something he was pulling in
6:49
probably doesn't want anybody past this
6:51
because you can see it's mowed over
6:53
and definitely not
7:05
that is a cool looking car
7:05
can't make out exactly what kind of car
7:09
that is from here however
7:12
I could definitely see Ash behind the
7:13
wheel a lot
7:20
in fact I don't think it's the same car
7:20
style the car in the movie but just
7:21
reminds me of it
7:23
so is that part of the mill
7:30
yeah this reminds me the Old Sugar Mill
7:30
in Saint Cloud
7:32
so definitely
7:35
the lower levels of the mill down here
7:38
that's pretty cool
7:39
or maybe this is actual furnaces
7:52
so maybe these were the furnaces and
7:52
then it went underneath here
7:55
and connect it with that I don't know
7:57
I'm just thinking out loud
8:02
okay local test
8:03
what's the name of this River
8:04
do you know not Smith Creek it's a crazy
8:08
thought ever it's Smith Creek I said
8:10
it's not Smith it's not Smith
8:16
homework assignment
8:16
you don't know what it is I'm not sure
8:30
it's not a river though it's a creek
8:30
it's a crick you call it Creek a creek
8:32
or a creek
8:35
you say crepe but everyone else around
8:37
here says Crick off on the horizon
8:39
that's a pretty good view there through
8:41
the trees what is that Mansion over
8:44
this is The Inn at firm Stone Mountain
8:47
Manor
8:52
I do love a good manner
8:55
I guess like manners like another name
8:56
for Mansion do you prefer a man or a
8:58
mansion it depends sometimes Manor
9:02
sounds a little more creepy and elegant
9:04
yes
9:06
unless Ranch is haunted
9:08
true are we supposed to be walking up
9:10
this road look at that no it's open it's
9:12
a Bates Motel over here yeah that's the
9:14
part that used to be all Norman super
9:16
abandoned
9:25
just reminded me like Texas Chainsaw
9:25
are we supposed to be walking up here
9:26
for real well again as far as I know
9:29
it's an end so it's technically public I
9:33
mean right Leatherface
9:36
you were just looking online it says
9:38
that there is availability
9:39
to stay here but there's no one on site
9:41
also there's the smokestacks over there
9:43
from the furnaces
9:45
we've been standing here for a few
9:46
minutes hoping someone that owns the
9:48
place or works here
9:49
will come outside no one has there's a
9:52
an old Fountain there that's all grown
9:54
over and I'm not going to walk back
9:57
but on the far side is another little
10:00
building like a barn back in the
10:01
distance very cool architecture
10:09
look at that just down the road a bit is
10:09
Green Pastures Recreation Area
10:12
in 1937 here in Clifton Forge now you as
10:16
a local you call you just call it
10:17
Clifton right you don't even call it
10:18
Forge
10:19
because I keep wanting to say Pigeon
10:20
Forge they've been a Pigeon Forge so
10:22
many times
10:23
but this
10:25
definitely looks like the Meyer's house
10:27
from Carpenters Halloween
10:31
except for the tree well the tree is
10:31
sprung up since the 70s obviously not
10:34
the screen news house that was
10:36
not not in Virginia or is it
10:43
you think someone lives here's the
10:43
question
10:44
does someone live here
10:46
there is
10:47
some shop firewood
10:52
Michael might come out though if you
10:52
should knock on the door but look at
10:54
this there's definitely
10:56
there's no gridlock here
10:58
and as the traffic is
11:00
and there's an old Motel
11:02
called the North Mountain Motel
11:04
and I really like the the old signage
11:07
there I gotta look over there and take a
11:08
little little better view of that now
11:10
with TV
11:12
and air conditioning an air conned
11:19
a neon has been removed but the signage
11:19
is still there
11:21
like a beacon to the heavens
11:24
Motel North Mountain TV and air
11:26
conditioning
11:29
oh look at this when they say TV they
11:30
weren't lying look at that TV
11:48
and with me you're always going to get a
11:48
lot of movie references
11:49
I feel like I'm at Universal Hollywood
11:51
right now on the Backlot tour and out of
11:54
this room Norman
11:56
is gonna come out to the end of the tram
11:59
it just looks like it looks like the
12:00
Bates Motel
12:02
yeah kinda sorta are you seeing it it's
12:05
possible that Norman Bates does come out
12:07
of here
12:08
I mean I feel like I feel like Norma's
12:10
been here at one point
12:12
Nathan base Norman's brother Norman's
12:14
cousin long lost cousin Virginia cousin
12:21
let's get out of here before
12:21
it comes to fruition all right a little
12:24
farther down
12:26
pulled over because this is quite the
12:29
Relic here
12:33
let's try to watch where I stand
12:43
it looks like a drive-in
12:43
oh it's an old restaurant side
12:49
Drive-In curb service
12:49
B Boy Burgers
12:51
something Boy Burgers
12:53
b-boy burgers
13:02
you've never pulled over to look at this
13:02
I mean I've only seen it in passing but
13:04
I have no idea where if the restaurant
13:06
could be here
13:23
now there are some like wooden pylons
13:23
here
13:25
this is the only remaining structure
13:27
here this is like a bathroom there's
13:28
like a little toilet busted up toilet
13:31
so whatever it was was right here along
13:33
the river and then the interstate the
13:34
freeway is over there
13:41
old paint camp
13:41
it's like an old paint can oh it's over
13:43
it's a airplane air freshener
13:48
it's a little bottle tree over here
13:51
so the bottles do have something to do
13:53
with good putting good luck into the
13:55
universe
14:01
I think that's how I recall
14:01
Route 66 is a Bottle Tree Ranch and I
14:04
believe I read something about that
14:06
you know about bottles being on a tree
14:07
it's something to do with good luck
14:09
yeah you see those like bottle trees
14:11
right yeah
14:13
this actually brings bad luck to anybody
14:15
who comes near us it does
14:17
Nathan Bates Christmas
14:23
my car's parked over there
14:23
on a slower Road there goes a logging
14:25
truck going by
14:27
over on the interstate
14:32
pretty good view of the
14:32
the creek here the river
14:41
you know what this might have been where
14:41
the restaurant was look at this
14:42
there's a pizza little slab here
14:54
those are steps
14:57
now if I was a location scout
15:05
Sharon Baptist Church this spot would be
15:05
really good for a film just like this
15:08
angle here
15:10
of the brick church building
15:12
the mountains in the background
15:15
very cinematic
15:17
of course getting a whole production
15:18
team out here to film a feature film
15:20
would probably be a little bit of a
15:21
commute but yeah
15:23
how great is this for you
15:25
and this was founded in 1832 but it was
15:29
rebuilt in 1922. look at this bug
15:35
right there
15:35
also
15:37
a lawnmower
15:50
you don't see many like this with the
15:50
photograph
15:55
from that era this is back in
15:55
1906.
16:11
M these are unique also
16:11
so that's not a real tree
16:15
it's made of concrete
16:45
oh this is pretty interesting here's a
16:45
little parking area over here state or
16:46
State Park City Park
16:49
it's a park
16:51
but this old plantation style home
16:55
sold Farm still sits here here
16:59
empty look at this thing
17:02
wow that tree there in the middle
17:11
who owned this back in the day uh so it
17:11
was called the Walter Robinson house and
17:14
farm area
17:16
Walter Robinson not much left of the
17:18
farm but I think there's some buildings
17:20
in the back
17:27
actually a long long time ago I went to
17:27
an auction at this house they had an
17:29
estate auction
17:30
and everything was out
17:32
like out here oh really a long time ago
17:34
did you get anything good
17:36
I think my parents bought a dresser
17:51
yeah all the windows completely open
17:51
like this
18:22
not structurally sound
18:22
uh
18:24
let's look at the floor come on down
18:26
there I'm like not thin so this would
18:30
my weight might not be the best thing to
18:32
go across there
18:34
yeah I don't know
18:39
I don't know how yeah I don't know if
18:39
I'm gonna walk on that I've got a
18:41
picture of me down in there somewhere
18:42
you climbed down in there I did when I
18:44
did the shoot
18:45
where is it
18:54
yeah I feel like if I stepped on that
18:54
yeah that'd be better I mean if you want
18:56
to get in
19:02
you're definitely going for like a
19:02
little Sam or Amy
19:04
homage there
19:11
someone's in my fruit cellar
19:11
that's great
19:18
and it was like a slow Focus that much
19:18
camera was having trouble focusing but I
19:20
think it added to the dramatic effect
19:50
anything back anything left back in the
19:50
barns
19:57
you got one little shed over here
19:57
and then the horse barn
19:59
right here
20:01
I'll just keep up with the movie theme I
20:03
have Vorhees up top there
20:05
Jason and we're gonna swing we'll swing
20:09
out
20:10
oh the barn door's swinging out
20:13
like in the third one remember the the
20:15
gang columns and motorcycle gang and the
20:16
girl she's on the third one yeah
20:22
the third one is when the one where
20:22
Jason got his mask
20:34
look at that that is so cool looking
20:34
you want some crackers I thought you
20:36
brought cracker just
20:44
two box of crackers there
20:44
yeah you could this is like you could
20:45
use all this to film a movie oh it's
20:48
just all just sitting there sitting out
20:50
so this is around the kind of the back
20:53
of the property
20:54
looks really cool with the
20:56
the foliage kind of overground on the
20:59
horse barn and the shed and the house
21:02
definitely a cool spot even the second
21:04
floor banister does not look safe to
21:06
walk across
21:50
that was a classic car right over there
21:50
check that out Historic downtown
21:54
so we are here
21:56
I always like when they have the you are
21:58
here section
22:06
I've said this often but it really
22:06
applies here
22:21
is a real beehive of activity
22:25
you got the antique mall right over
22:29
this is kind of the
22:30
the pivotal fork in the road of Clifton
22:39
a few people are driving by are looking
22:39
at me like they've never seen a camera
22:40
before it's possible
22:47
they look like they've seen a ghost so
22:47
that's Main Street and that's Ridgeway
22:49
so Main Street this way Ridgeway this
22:51
way
22:52
oh look at this
22:54
I love these old ghost signs
23:01
where the old advertisements are poking
23:01
out through the brick
23:02
Fosters
23:04
where the woman who knows
23:07
buys her clothes
23:10
I like that
23:17
where the woman who knows buys her
23:17
clothes
23:19
it's good look at this someone does not
23:22
like the no parking on this I think the
23:24
Grinch was here just like get out yeah
23:27
with green with green slime
23:30
hey Mark Summers
23:32
that's like I knew I heard a little bit
23:35
of rumbling I could feel the ground
23:36
moving just a little bit
23:38
I thought to myself that's probably a
23:40
train over there
23:41
my assumption is correct the train is
23:43
going over that little Bridge
23:45
not too far from where we're standing
23:54
so where are we going now
23:54
we're going into the underground you saw
23:58
yeah so give me a little backstory on
23:59
the Underground
24:00
um is that it's Underground
24:03
it goes under the city under the town
24:10
so anybody could just walk down in here
24:10
yeah it's not off limits or anything I
24:12
mean it's kind of at your own risk but
24:15
it's like a lot you'll pass the parking
24:17
area
24:22
oh the river runs through here the creek
24:22
runs through here yes
24:35
and I was here like that was five or six
24:35
seven years ago the first time you came
24:55
this is pretty neat you just walk right
24:55
underneath there it's hard to see but
24:57
there are like entrance to shops
25:00
over there
25:02
so this is the old historic Masonic
25:06
theater
25:19
so this is known as the the coffin
25:19
vampire of
25:21
Clifton Forge because it looks like here
25:25
it almost looks like a steak that you
25:27
would drive through the heart
25:29
I think that's on purpose so people
25:32
won't think
25:37
evidently there was probably a bridge
25:37
here at one point
25:39
from point A to point B
25:41
it was
26:35
okay here's another sign here trade with
26:35
Jameson's chain grocery store and they
26:37
have Bank the difference Supreme on the
26:40
side the Supreme bag there and also
26:42
something's going on on there
26:43
something's being chopped up into wood
26:45
definitely a very cool unique little
26:46
town Town here's a
26:49
a mannequin in this window
27:04
he has a Jedi robot
27:04
who's in the old Jedi mind trick I don't
27:07
think it is but just this is so cool
27:09
looking like this looks like an area
27:11
that'd be like on Hollywood Boulevard
27:12
like almost like this building here
27:15
so the one in the middle used to be an
27:16
old Leggett store I don't even know if
27:18
there are legits anymore leggetts yeah I
27:20
think it became milk ah it might be a
27:22
southern store chain
27:42
evidently some kind of footprints
27:42
letting you know where the bank ATM is
27:44
so if you go that way
27:46
and then you turn around that's where
27:48
the drive-through the bank ATM is these
27:50
very random unusual planters
27:57
this is really cool
27:57
so you got
27:59
the really cool architecture of downtown
28:01
and over here there is this one little
28:04
teeny tiny skinny storefront this is all
28:08
always the kind of stuff that I look at
28:10
like man that is it's like the thinnest
28:14
skinniest store wedged in what used to
28:17
be an alley over there
28:19
you can see the top of that building in
28:21
the top of that building
28:23
and then there's that little building
28:25
wedge in the alley
28:34
the storefront on Hollywood Boulevard
28:34
looks just like as a fact they recreated
28:37
something similar to that
28:38
at Hollywood Studios Disney's Hollywood
28:41
Studios I mean it's pretty basic
28:43
architecture for
28:45
like art deco I think of a bit well
28:47
there are some active businesses down
28:48
here but there are a lot that are closed
28:51
the nickname is the little town that
28:53
could
28:55
Clifton Forge Virginia
28:57
so there's a sign that this storefront
28:59
here is empty
29:02
pretty cute little Main Street and
29:03
there's apartments
29:05
top there too not really sure what it
29:07
would cost to rent an apartment or open
29:08
a store down here but cute little area
29:10
so here's some photo documentation of
29:13
what Clifton Forge used to look like
29:15
back in the day
29:18
so looking at here
29:20
and then looking at modern day here
29:23
which kind of still kind of still looks
29:26
the same
29:34
there's a few others like an aerial view
29:34
another building here with classic cars
29:43
you know a lot of this area a lot of the
29:43
things here almost look like set
29:45
dressing
29:46
from a show
29:48
you know not just the downtown but like
29:50
this
29:52
the law offices of Jeffrey a cackle but
29:55
just the font
29:57
looks like a Hollywood Backlot has that
30:00
on there for a TV production doesn't it
30:07
yeah it kind of has that right at MGM
30:07
Studios
30:12
just has that
30:12
kind of archaic old school font
30:14
Community College now called Mountain
30:16
Gateway and it's like way over that way
30:19
it's not technically it's
30:21
yeah you do see a lot of these signs is
30:23
the mascot the Road Runner a Road Runner
30:26
the Roadrunner not a bluebird
30:29
so the Road Runner will never get on
30:31
your shoulder
30:33
he'll just run past you
30:35
directly adjacent to the town hall
30:38
is the little station over here the
30:40
little Department
30:53
Town yeah there's like on this area
30:53
there's an old Napa
30:56
and this building's pretty awesome
31:06
connected up with the other mechanic
31:08
shop I think so here's a little Zamboni
31:10
street sweeper
31:24
all right this is pretty dang
31:24
interesting years ago I can't remember
31:27
where I was I was kind of in the middle
31:28
of nowhere and I found a little train
31:30
yard and they had one of the
31:33
the train cars from the old Church
31:35
Street Station
31:37
which was a kind of a tourist attraction
31:39
back in the 90s or 80s 90s early 2000s
31:44
somewhere in those decades in Central
31:46
Florida downtown Orlando
31:48
and I have found another Church Street
31:51
Station
31:52
Road car or rail car look at this it
31:55
actually still says Orlando Florida on
31:57
it Church Street Station Railroad
32:00
Company you see the active train down
32:02
there backing up
32:04
this is in Clifton Forge Virginia
32:15
someone's over there at the
32:15
train depot they were doing like a growl
32:17
of some sort they were growling did you
32:18
hear that
32:19
it's a very unique vehicle here too
32:21
Smith Creek yard
32:27
a little classic truck
32:38
on the side of that concrete embankment
32:39
down there is a painting
32:40
of a train
32:43
and then also
32:45
on the side of that brick Coca-Cola body
32:48
Bottling Company
32:50
very difficult to see it but it's etched
32:53
in there out there with paint some other
32:55
words up there too but you can
32:56
definitely see where it says Coca-Cola
33:19
we have found our way
33:19
probably 20 or 30 miles from where we
33:20
just work
33:22
and maybe not that far 15 miles
33:24
to Humpback Bridge
33:27
in Covington
33:29
well on the outskirts of Covington
33:32
this bridge was constructed
33:34
of hand hewn Timbers in 1835
33:39
for the James River Turnpike Corporation
33:42
remained in public use until 1920 or
33:46
1929.
33:52
humpback Bridge
33:54
not sure what this sign is
33:57
don't know what that sign's supposed to
33:58
be there
34:04
and obviously it gets his namesake
34:04
because it is humpbacked
34:07
it is a humpbacked bridge
34:10
especially moving over more at this
34:12
angle
34:13
you definitely can see
34:15
how it has that kind of Archway Style
34:19
formation
34:34
so this has been out of public use for
34:34
almost 100 years
34:37
1929. yeah not quite 100 years but
34:40
getting there
34:42
it was dedicated
34:44
back in 1954. all right that's cool so
34:48
from the other angle that will spell out
34:49
love
34:50
that tree right there will be the V
34:53
to walk over there and take a look at
34:54
that
34:58
pump back bridge
35:03
every time I mentioned this every time I
35:05
go through a covered bridge
35:06
I think of Beetlejuice
35:09
you think of Sleepy Hollow
35:17
now come to think of I don't think I've
35:17
ever gone walked over a cover bridge
35:19
where it has such a steep incline up and
35:22
then down like that that is very unique
35:38
a lot of people have wrote their names
35:38
in here
35:46
people haven't scribed
35:49
all their names along the wall just
35:52
Sharpie
35:54
pen marks everywhere through here
36:14
and when you exit out of this side
36:14
there's a lot of wasps so there's a lot
36:18
of wasps as you're exiting out of there
36:21
the wasps
36:22
of humpback Bridge
36:24
they're just like swarming all right
36:26
there on this side
36:44
it gets it can get I mean it just
36:44
depends on if we haven't had rain in a
36:45
while it gets steeper so you see is a
36:48
little deeper than us yeah
36:49
or sometimes it can also be quite fellow
36:52
for
37:13
you see a truck going by in the distance
37:13
so that's the new Road
37:15
back in the day the only Road was
37:18
going over humpback Bridge you can even
37:21
see the sun glimmering bouncing off the
37:24
water there on the through the holes and
37:27
the slats
37:45
now here's that angle with the love side
37:45
so you got the L made out of brick
37:48
over here on this end and then the O
37:51
made out of a wheel
37:53
like a mill wheel and then the e made
37:57
out of
37:58
uh Timber and wood and then the V of
38:02
course is made up of the tree
38:04
and then in the backdrop
38:07
the impressive humpback Bridge
38:10
very cool
38:13
that's pretty creative
38:25
got to commend anyone who who thought of
38:25
that I commend him on his choice
38:28
she's not here
38:30
I commend him on his choice
38:34
so you're saying she's not here now into
38:36
Covington proper we were on the
38:38
outskirts and now we have stepped into
38:43
Covington itself
38:44
where there is a Pizza Planet truck here
38:54
was not expecting to see that they are
38:54
really taking care of business
38:56
when it comes to pop culture here in
38:58
Covington
39:04
I like how the rocket on the top is made
39:04
out of just a like a Home Depot bucket
39:18
this is great
39:18
now is this a reference to The Brady
39:21
Bunch
39:22
Marcia's Surf Shop
39:31
sign up top
39:31
love this little window here in the back
39:35
okay you didn't see the reflection of
39:36
the Pizza Planet truck
39:38
in there as well
39:40
so the back of this bus has a
39:43
AC unit at
39:45
it's the old school bus
39:47
old school
40:10
so just up the way is a very interesting
40:10
some yard decor
40:12
there is a gorilla and there is a bison
40:16
this is some road work happening
40:18
up there as well but yeah
40:20
so the corner of Dry Run Road and North
40:24
Pocahontas Ave
40:58
okay we're gonna grab a bite to eat and
40:58
I guess one of the biggest most popular
41:00
restaurants here in Covington
41:03
I'm not sure how it's pronounced
41:05
but
41:07
yeah all right that is pretty amazing
41:10
number 15 right there look at the name
41:13
of the numbers all right I know they do
41:14
have pizza they have pasta they have an
41:16
assortment they have turnovers an
41:17
assortment of things I think I'm just
41:18
going to go with the multi-trip salad
41:21
bar for 11 so it's actually not too bad
41:23
but they're taking the commute
41:25
town
41:29
this River
41:29
is a cave
41:43
immediately as you walk in the
41:43
temperature is dropping
41:52
Island Ford cave
41:52
great
42:26
I would imagine there's probably bats in
42:26
here at some point
42:44
texture at the bottom
42:44
I don't know
42:46
easily has
43:00
how deep is it go down in there no I'm
43:00
pretty sure you can go down there but oh
43:03
that's like a that's like a big hole
43:04
with anything no no no
43:07
ever no
43:09
yeah that's scary
43:11
I don't want to fall down in the cave
43:35
the entrance to Island Ford cave is a
43:35
large impressive opening 50 feet wide
43:37
and 15 50 feet wide and 15 to 20 feet
43:40
high
43:49
all right heading back over to my hotel
43:49
stayed in Lexington
43:52
I think it was Lexington
44:00
head back to my accommodations and gonna
44:00
call it an evening gonna call it a day
44:11
and that's gonna do it for today
44:15
from Virginia dig quite a bit saw a few
44:19
things I'd never seen before
44:25
did a little exploring
44:25
and
44:27
got this t-shirt my friend gave me
44:30
some of the places I went to have been
44:32
photographed for
44:33
bloody gorgeous so I got this
44:36
I think 540 is the area code for this
44:40
area of Virginia
44:41
I'll see in the next video the Vlog
44:44
is over
