Transcript
0:03
welcome everyone adam the woo
0:03
here you can hear the soothing sounds of
0:05
freeway traffic cruising by at a rapid
0:08
pace
0:08
on the street that runs parallel to this
0:11
country road that i am standing on
0:13
corn stalks here in indiana but i will
0:16
be crossing over a state line
0:17
soon i'm heading southbound
0:21
to pigeon forge tennessee about 400
0:24
miles to go i miss my flight out of
0:27
indianapolis airport and said heck it
0:31
that plane can go to orange county
0:32
california without me i will not be on
0:35
it
0:35
change of plans which i am prone to do
0:38
on a whim
0:40
heading elsewhere it's gonna feel good
0:42
to get back in a another rental car
0:45
changed out the one i had for a few days
0:47
while being here
0:48
in indy and and had to switch it out so
0:52
did that cruising along who knows what
0:55
we're gonna see
0:57
it's late afternoon into a nightfall
0:59
rearing its head before i get
1:01
to my destination in tennessee but i'm
1:03
inviting you to join me
1:05
shall you gotta be honest a nice long
1:09
venture down an open road
1:12
is much needed
1:20
here in the quaint community of
1:20
greensburg
1:22
still in indiana for a short time the
1:24
top
1:25
roof well the top of the roof of the
1:28
decatur county
1:29
courthouse is something very unique
1:41
right up there is a tree not
1:45
usually seen in this neck of the woods
1:49
meaning maybe a bird carried it in from
1:53
elsewhere it has been a real
1:54
conversation piece and
1:56
a lot really do not know how it
1:58
continues to grow or how it even
2:01
started growing up there and still lives
2:04
on you can even see the blossoms
2:06
starting to formulate out of its limbs
2:10
not something you see every day all
2:12
right
2:13
moving on
2:26
the majority of the times i prefer to
2:26
take the back road
2:27
or back roads in this case have so much
2:30
ground to cover
2:32
sticking to pretty much the interstates
2:35
or freeways that's what i refer to the
2:38
most
2:39
ohio it's interesting the route it has
2:43
me on
2:44
is shorter to venture back through
2:48
into indiana and then back out again
2:51
it's kind of confusing but i'm going to
2:52
go into one state and into another and
2:54
then back into
2:56
out of one into another the shortest
3:31
kentucky down at the bottom of the hill
3:31
is the mall here
3:32
in florence kentucky and many years
3:35
prior to its completion decades ago
3:39
the water tower that sits next to the
3:41
main thoroughfare
3:43
was utilized for advertising
3:59
as it now fades in you will see if that
3:59
car was
4:00
the car was a little noisy it says
4:03
florence not
4:04
maul with an m-a-l-l but a y
4:13
dash a-l-l they were told
4:13
you are not allowed to promote something
4:15
that does not exist so instead of just
4:18
you know removing the entire thing they
4:20
just change the m to a y
4:22
and it says florence y'all except since
4:26
then it has been attempted to be
4:27
repainted over
4:29
to do away with all the history of it
4:32
but it's still here if you look closely
4:33
you can see it up there
4:36
florence y'all not florence mall
4:39
here in kentucky there's a view of it
4:42
from the road
4:44
see you later water tower
4:50
the sun is not quite about to set but
4:50
not too much longer
4:53
before it goes over the horizon looks
4:56
pretty neat with the cloud formations
4:58
like that huh
5:05
pulled over and got myself a nice piping
5:06
hot
5:06
warm cup of coffee
5:17
little warmer and hot than i thought
5:17
than i thought
5:18
that's toasty stopped off in the town of
5:23
berea b-e-r-e-a
5:29
in the downtown section in this
5:29
courtyard
5:31
scattered around are a variety of
5:33
different hands
5:35
there's one there there's a couple more
5:38
down
5:40
in that direction
5:47
and another one right there
5:47
next to that cabin
5:55
could be an old train station back there
5:55
there's not really a whole lot of folks
6:04
down here see the streets are relatively
6:04
empty
6:06
couple cars right over there
6:09
that looks to be a pizza place but
6:12
shifting the other way
6:19
very peaceful way off in the distance
6:19
you can hear the interstate traffic
6:21
coming by
6:23
faintly here's a hand
6:26
full of hands it's about
6:29
70 hey i'm just guessing 70 hands
6:31
painted on
6:33
this bigger hand
6:39
then over here lurking in the shadows
6:39
almost is
6:41
is another
6:55
wait is this a torso of a dinosaur
6:55
here maybe
6:58
or a lizard creature yeah
7:02
i think it might be or a dragon
7:06
a dragon a dragon i swear i saw a dragon
7:15
heard the dragon cartilage keeps you
7:18
thin
7:19
that's what peach dragon movie taught me
7:24
except i don't see any it's just
7:27
there's nothing there but just the steel
7:30
frame
7:32
now heading into the town of corbin
7:36
still in kentucky at the moment
7:53
near the downtown area about five years
7:53
ago or so
8:06
founder of kfc kentucky
8:06
fried chicken
8:09
looks like he's following the guidelines
8:13
as well he's just waving to the passer
8:16
buying traffic
8:19
or my rental car that's also right it
8:21
could be waving to my rental car
8:23
they have deemed this sanders
8:26
memorial park
8:35
right here in corbin very very nice
8:35
the colonel it's getting kind of late
8:38
there's a lot of trucks parked
8:40
over here but that is the tennessee
8:43
state line
8:44
signage and speaking of a multitude of
8:47
trucks that are parked around
8:49
continuing up this way probably a good
8:54
20 miles from the line it's this
8:57
fireworks superstore
9:00
looks to be the gates are i think the
9:03
gates are closed off
9:05
maybe but the thing that's fascinating
9:08
is there's a castle up there
9:10
and an old ferris wheel
9:14
all dilapidated and rusted out
9:34
it's a relic continuing on
9:34
uh just a few more miles down the way
9:38
it's going to be tough to see
9:40
but right here looming over
9:44
the interstate okay next to the bush
9:47
is the backside no not of water of a
9:50
very tall
9:51
dragon with his little wings
9:55
and the thorns down well not thorns but
9:59
the little spiky items
10:00
go down the tail see it there that thing
10:03
is very tall
10:04
look at the comparison of the dollar
10:08
general i believe it is that it's behind
10:11
and that's a lot of shrubs and maybe
10:14
some
10:17
i don't know if i want to crawl through
10:18
that but that's that's very impressive
10:22
most impressive
11:05
still got about an hour to go with any
11:05
luck i'll
11:06
i might be able to check into my hotel
11:08
