welcome everyone Adam isn't whoo here
0:10
today number 11 of my route 66 adventure
0:14
I have crossed over into the state of
0:16
Illinois and currently standing
0:19
underneath the world's largest ketchup
0:24
join me shall you not a lot of people
0:28
are here not a lot of cars no trucks no
0:31
traffic some would say desolate and
0:37
behind me is the first location of the
0:40
day blasting area it's almost like a
0:43
makeshift homage to Cadillac Ranch
0:47
they're all wedged in the ground this
0:50
former gas station has a relic Pepsi
0:54
machine against the wall that's
0:56
old-school
0:57
this property is home to a rabbit ranch
1:00
we pulled over in hopes of seeing some
1:02
buddies the guy who owns it however he's
1:06
not here on the side of the building the
1:08
final resting place of some of his
1:11
animals he has headstones of all his
1:18
little critters who have passed away
1:20
Junior Ranger Oh look as The Lone Ranger
1:24
masks shaft and snot and similar to the
1:30
Jackrabbit Trading Post here's a photo
1:33
opportunity that you can climb on I
1:35
don't know your name but I want to thank
1:38
you for letting me mount on top of you
1:41
it's kind of off I know I'm yelling and
1:43
I didn't mean to be y'all some English
1:44
and I'm too close to your earlobe I'm
1:47
gonna quiet down
1:54
guess I can't blame him for not being
1:54
open
1:55
he is semi-retired no set hours you just
2:00
got to take a chance on him being here
2:03
just about to leave and the open sign
2:06
illuminated we can now actually go in
2:16
rescued in July of 2009 this is spirits
2:16
and blackberry this is Hubert he's named
2:21
after my dad he was Hubert Henry that's
2:24
the other part his name's Henry down
2:26
there little red bunny and we're down to
2:30
four bunnies our all-time low I started
2:33
off in 1999 were 15 of them and just had
2:39
one yesterday during operation passed
2:42
away so as fact of life you know it's
2:45
hard and but in 2003 that was our glory
2:50
days we had 49 bunnies things have
2:54
really happened in moving and I knew at
2:57
that point I just kind of keep doing it
3:00
the rest of my life I'm 71 now probably
3:02
notice there's a lot of Volkswagens and
3:05
you guys are frail old enough to
3:06
remember what kind they were volkswagen
3:09
round this
3:16
this is another one of those instances
3:16
where 66 runs parallel to a freeway you
3:22
may have heard the expression why did
3:24
the chicken cross the road well I want
3:27
to know why the turkey crossed the
3:31
Mother Road because it's footprints are
3:38
still wedged down deep into the pavement
3:46
a painted box has been drawn around
3:50
where they're located for the 1920s
3:55
these have been here arriving now in
4:04
Springfield and look on the Left looming
4:08
over the road
4:10
it's a muffler man I just realized in
4:13
all my excitement I stated he was on my
4:16
left I was I was completely overwhelmed
4:19
by this guy I didn't know my direction
4:20
left from right now he's on my left I
4:25
bet he has quite an appetite no not him
4:30
him which is a segue for food here at
4:35
the Kozy drive-in their mascot spinning
4:39
around at a decent speed luring us in
4:44
for a meal
4:46
oh yes this place looks awesome anywhere
4:52
that calls themself the self-proclaimed
4:55
birthplace of the corndog must because
4:59
owned and operated by the same family
5:02
since 1949 looks like at one point the
5:08
company was even coach owned with Dairy
5:12
Queen and this is what we're dealing
5:15
with the fries that I am now gonna load
5:18
up with just a little dab of ketchup and
5:22
a cozy dog two of them to be exact
5:27
Jacob is already starting to consume his
5:30
fried potatoes that he got one cosy dog
5:34
and what was that chili chili dog chili
5:38
chili dog goodness
5:59
just outside the door is an Abraham
5:59
Lincoln brick piece and you'll notice
6:01
his nose is worn down which is supposed
6:05
to be good luck if you rub aids nose you
6:09
will have good luck this is a segue to
6:12
the next location his Presidential
6:16
Library and Museum got the whole family
6:20
in the foyer now it's interesting
6:22
because formerly years ago over
6:28
Lincoln's shoulder back there used to be
6:32
John Wilkes Booth but they have removed
6:35
the statue about 20 or so yards back
6:39
and even though Wilkes has been removed
6:43
his name placard is still here let's
6:48
start off with a walkthrough of the
6:51
boyhood years setting foot into the
6:56
cabin there he is doing a little
6:59
learning doing some reading by the
7:01
campfire
7:01
well not the campfire the fire in the
7:04
fireplace inside the cabin wait he's
7:08
sleeping listen
7:15
he's snoring growing up just a bit at
7:15
work in the general store
7:17
as stated right there looks as if he's
7:22
picking out some fabric looking very
7:26
lovingly at Marianne Tod a relationship
7:31
is born I've always heard that some of
7:35
the Disney Imagineers worked on the
7:38
figures here and after looking them
7:40
seeing at them in person I think I think
7:43
it might be true the attention to detail
7:46
is pretty uncanny just hanging out there
7:51
reading the paper while these kids are
7:53
getting very rambunctious it was a very
7:56
rainy day when he gave his farewell
7:59
address to parting Springfield and
8:02
heading to Washington DC a place from
8:05
which he would never return
8:07
let's head now into the White House this
8:12
room messes with your equilibrium the
8:14
doors are slanted and along the walls
8:19
are photographs framed picturing Lincoln
8:23
and lots of different forms including
8:28
the devil himself
8:30
the news media painted him and a lot of
8:34
different lights very long and tedious
8:36
meeting with the Secretary of State the
8:39
interior all his cabinet members
8:43
to be a fly on the wall and those
8:45
conversations would be an interesting
8:48
thing
9:09
these castings were made by a well-known
9:09
sculptor after the nomination for a
9:12
presidency in 1860 and then another one
9:15
just five short years later just before
9:17
his assassination and it states on the
9:21
placard you can see how tired and aged
9:23
his face become after years of conflict
9:27
war is over cause for much celebration
9:33
but it's about to get very somber as we
9:36
enter into Ford's Theater a play is
9:41
underway as a man sneaks in the back
9:45
door leading to the balcony John Wilkes
9:49
Booth was about to change the destiny of
9:53
presidents Lincoln
9:54
and Abe had no idea of what was about to
9:58
happen as he sat and watched that comedy
10:03
that faithful day name engraved on that
10:06
portfolio it's stage right here that it
10:10
could have possibly carried the
10:12
Emancipation Proclamation that's pretty
10:15
cool William Cogswell painted this
10:17
starting at 1862 he didn't complete it
10:20
till 1868 the fascinating thing is mr.
10:25
Lincoln himself sat for the beginning
10:28
portion of this portrait that's pretty
10:32
amazing
10:33
learn something new every day he was the
10:36
original hipster he did however have
10:39
some very good sayings that all of us
10:41
can learn by leave nothing for tomorrow
10:44
which can be done today
10:47
you can even cozy up cozy up with this
10:51
guy kind of with them as you get your 40
10:54
weeks I feel like in a lot of ways the
10:57
marketability of our 16th president is
10:59
slowly turning in to Colonel Sanders oh
11:02
my gosh this is amazing it's a wind-up
11:06
but it's only his head so it's just his
11:09
head
11:10
there's feet right below his beard you
11:12
wind it up and he just strolls across
11:14
