0:21
tagging along
0:23
i am on a road trip i will be gone for
0:25
quite a while i left celebration florida
0:27
this morning have driven for about an
0:29
hour and a half two hours
0:32
and i am now in reddick
0:35
florida r e d d i c
0:38
k i believe it is spelled population of
0:40
about 500
0:42
piping hot caffeinated beverage has
0:45
kind of lost its steam because i got it
0:47
about you know an hour ago
0:53
but it's still lukewarm which is fine
0:53
i'm inviting you to join me
0:55
on this adventure
0:57
no telling how long i'm going to be gone
0:58
for out of the state of florida i will
1:00
be crossing the state line today
1:03
and we'll be spending some time in
1:05
georgia tomorrow and the following days
1:08
as of right now unless there is an
1:10
emergency i will not head back
1:12
to central florida for at least six
1:14
seven
1:16
weeks give or take
1:18
join me
1:20
shall you
1:21
let's peruse around this little
1:23
small community before moving on
1:26
you can see there's not really
1:28
a truck approaching up here there's not
1:31
really much of a downtown
1:33
but over here
1:34
there is a state bank
1:38
which took me a little time to find
1:40
that there was even any sort of downtown
1:43
area
1:47
runs parallel to i-75 i took the
1:48
turnpike
1:50
early this morning
1:51
and
1:53
hopped onto 75
1:58
and the highways and byways i will be
1:58
taking in back roads run parallel to 75
2:02
kind of off the beaten path towns
2:05
easily forgotten about
2:07
look at this this is a
2:09
this is a wonderful relic right here
2:11
the reddick
2:13
state bank
2:33
looks like there's a broken down truck
2:33
in the backyard
2:34
of the bank
2:37
very nice
2:39
and across the way
2:42
is a little gazebo
2:44
could have been a town square
2:46
centralized area at one point
2:48
or some no trespassing signs
2:51
i'll go over there in a minute
2:53
but this could have been a railroad at
2:55
some point because you can kind of see
2:58
where railroad
3:00
you know tracks would have been and
3:01
there is a sign over there that has a
3:03
railroad crossing
3:05
and before departing this little
3:06
community
3:08
i'll show that sign
3:11
it's going to be a great day
3:12
you can kind of see
3:14
where the tracks might have been
3:17
the only indication that clued me into
3:19
that
3:20
was this railroad crossing signage here
3:24
that could be yard decor
3:27
or it could really be
3:41
if you use your imagination you could
3:41
just picture
3:42
old railroad cars rolling right through
3:45
here and reddick
3:47
i'm going to show on the map
3:49
the the approximate route i'm going to
3:50
be taking i brought an atlas with me as
3:52
well for this trip now it has seen
3:54
better days but i would like to show my
3:56
appreciation for
3:59
this little presbyterian church in the
4:01
architecture of it
4:03
first presbyterian
4:15
quaint small town life through here
4:16
just off the main interstate
4:18
you don't see much on the interstates
4:21
when you get into these little little
4:22
towns
4:24
you find some good stuff
4:31
now as that bird makes some noise going
4:31
to show
4:32
just give some bearings here
4:35
on approximately the route i'm going to
4:37
be taking
4:38
so if you look here
4:41
there it is i am right about there
4:44
where the top of this pin is
4:46
and i'm going to go up 301
4:49
through
4:49
citra
4:51
some of these areas i'm going to stay
4:52
kind of on 301
4:54
go through waldo in case you were
4:56
wondering where's waldo
4:58
waldo is right there i'm gonna go
4:59
through there
5:00
and then up towards stark and then might
5:02
veer off this direction or might go and
5:05
cross over the state line that way but
5:07
that's the approximate route i'm going
5:09
to be taking so any of these
5:11
little towns
5:13
might be on my radar once i cross the
5:15
state line
5:16
i'll end the episode go up into either
5:18
valdosta or tifton maybe a little
5:20
further somewhere in that region get a
5:22
hotel for
5:23
three four or more nights
5:25
and kind of use that as a central home
5:28
base type of point and then kind of go
5:30
around georgia today i'll be moving kind
5:32
of fast
5:33
through florida starting where i am but
5:36
yeah gonna be here starting here
5:39
and then making my way up
5:41
give or take up
5:43
301 through some of these little
5:45
little areas
5:58
did get on 301 a little bit of traffic
5:58
but off of that thoroughfare some of the
6:00
streets through citra
6:02
kind of like citrus
6:03
but instead of a us it's an a
6:10
big citrus industry around here as well
6:10
and the streets
6:12
through here are not even paved
6:15
and just behind me is the highway a
6:18
little bit of traffic on it not as busy
6:20
as the interstate but
6:22
still a little bit of traffic
6:24
some old barns
6:26
and whatnot
6:28
the former homesteads
6:30
of the past through here
6:32
see if there's some sort of downtown
6:34
area here etc if i can find it back over
6:37
into a slightly busier area now
6:40
corner of northeast 185 in 301 is the
6:44
orange shop
6:45
which is promoting fresh juice
6:48
yeah i might have to get a little bit
6:50
you see there's quite a few cars here
6:52
as well here at this little roadside
6:53
stop should also mention that this is a
6:56
strip of road that i've never taken
6:57
before
6:58
usually i'll be on 75
7:01
just trying to get in and out of the
7:02
state you know i hit a lot of
7:04
small areas around florida but never
7:06
been down this road before
7:45
you don't believe i'm going to get
7:45
myself a little
7:46
a little oj
7:48
as well in here
7:59
fresh squeezed
7:59
yeah don't mind if i do
8:01
from the orange shop all right
8:04
moving on
8:06
coffee and oj good way to start the day
8:10
best of both worlds i blinked and almost
8:13
missed this little area
8:14
called island grove
8:17
there's some railroad tracks over there
8:19
an old abandoned factory
8:23
what really drew my attention as i was
8:26
back in the car going past this place
8:29
are these old coca-cola signs
8:32
got one right up here
8:42
marlboro man
8:42
a tub
8:44
probably in the summertime
8:46
the standing water full of mosquitoes
8:48
but right now
8:50
not too bad
8:51
heat wise
8:52
the mosquito index is a little lower
8:55
than
8:56
other times of the year some gas pumps
8:58
got the shell logo
9:15
startled me there was down here there
9:15
was a lizard going by
9:17
kind of startled me for a moment
9:24
okay this is great
9:24
love all the coke classic merchandise
9:28
signage
9:29
look at this
9:37
has the groceries
9:37
sign right up top there too
9:43
an old boat over here
9:43
grounded boat
9:56
oh kind of paraphernalia
9:56
camel logo there
10:06
this could be a business could be a
10:06
private residence
10:22
steel magnolias is what the sign says
10:22
around the front
10:35
hair salon
10:35
interesting
10:36
full service hair and nail salon
10:42
although
10:42
i believe it's that little building
10:44
there that's the hair salon
10:46
this is probably a
10:48
nightclub or bar of some sort
10:54
it's all over here next to it next to
10:54
the side
10:56
good stuff
10:58
even a traffic signal
11:00
up top attached to this tree
11:34
and even though i'm not on the
11:34
interstate and i'm not on the highway at
11:36
the moment i am taking i'm taking the
11:39
301
11:40
but i do try to to veer off onto these
11:43
kind of broken up back roads also big
11:45
the foot's with me
11:46
love this truck
11:48
gonna have him along pick the foot
11:50
big the foot
11:52
i always like he always liked road trips
11:55
not your buddy
12:03
taking that ass
13:33
my shadow myself and my shadow
13:33
made it down the way a bit to hawthorne
13:36
check this out
13:39
a closed-up motel
13:42
kind of reminds me of the bates motel
13:43
norman
13:59
this is next to the railroad tracks
13:59
as well
14:15
the office is very fascinating however
14:15
it does still have the lettering to go
14:17
this way
14:24
all right any snakes you're out here
14:24
please pay no attention
14:27
to myself
14:37
yeah i got the
14:37
antique neon up here still
14:41
it says office
14:44
nice
14:54
if you needed to get a room this is
14:54
where you would have gone up to the
14:55
window
15:04
and nothing says florida
15:04
like this moss
15:07
all through the trees
15:13
never know what you're going to find off
15:13
the side of the road now in hawthorne
15:16
proper
15:17
you know just about a mile or two from
15:19
where i just was
15:20
got some heavy equipment over there
15:22
working towards the tracks
15:25
just one stop sign well one stop light i
15:27
should say
15:28
the blinking red light here
15:35
love it
15:35
it's something i've never seen before
15:37
the city hall
15:39
also appears to be the bank
15:41
so you have the city hall
15:44
which the signage is there
15:50
and a bank drive through coordinated
15:50
into one
15:53
yeah double duty there
16:03
off in the distance
16:03
and a mural here
16:05
along the side there's a car being towed
16:08
it appears here at the stop sign
16:11
check out this mural
16:13
got the train the 999
16:19
yeah that car is being towed
16:20
check that out
16:22
has the rope pulling it
16:27
this gentleman has caught himself a
16:27
rather
16:28
large fish that is quite the fish story
16:31
to tell his friends
16:32
on the front porch of the fj hammond
16:37
building
16:38
that could possibly be fj hammond
16:42
with the large that a bass a largemouth
16:44
bass
16:45
i'm not a fisherman
16:53
i like this you got the
16:53
touch of home
16:54
emporium couple cars rolling through
16:56
here
16:57
but not a lot of traffic
16:59
oh yeah i like this look at this little
17:01
downtown
17:02
very nice and around the front portion
17:05
of what has a bank pull-up
17:07
there's the hawthorne city hall
17:10
there
17:12
so we got a little emporium
17:14
and a very strange
17:17
engraving strange engraving if you want
17:20
some engraving that's strange
17:22
it doesn't look like there's any
17:23
business here anymore it's a strange
17:24
engraving
17:27
went out of business
17:31
there we go this is hawthorne down
17:31
toward downtown hawthorne a thousand
17:33
thousand residents carrying on a bit i
17:35
teased this earlier
17:38
where's waldo
17:43
here is waldo
17:44
historic downtown waldow
17:48
nice mural
17:51
this is put up by the
17:52
waldo historical society
17:56
there's a train depot right here
17:59
near the downtown area
18:10
all the buildings and establishments and
18:10
stores
18:12
along the main strip
18:14
are empty except
18:16
they are for rent there is a for rent
18:18
sign
18:20
and a couple of them
18:22
for those who might want to start up a
18:24
business
18:26
you'd be the only one there is a
18:28
a feed and hardware store at least along
18:30
this trip
18:39
right there
18:39
or was
18:41
at one point
18:49
across the way there is the old railroad
18:50
depot museum walk over there too and
18:52
since it's just a little more than a
18:54
week after christmas still gonna have a
18:56
lot of the holiday decor up which is
18:59
gonna be par for the course probably you
19:01
know for the next week or two
19:03
a lot of places leave theirs up
19:10
until mid-january but here's some info
19:10
about waldo here
19:12
dating back to the 1820s
19:15
well 1837
19:18
and 1838
19:20
a settlement at fort harley
19:23
served as a postal center
19:25
to the surrounding area until 1850 and
19:28
that year a post office was established
19:30
at a town being founded at the point
19:33
where the florida railroad would cross
19:35
bellamy road the new town name
19:39
was
19:41
waldo
19:46
and the president of the florida
19:46
railroad
19:47
david levy yule
19:50
selected the name
19:52
his name was not waldo there's not a
19:54
waldo in yule
19:57
and the railroad was completed through
19:59
waldo to gainesville
20:02
back in 1881
20:05
a very nice little area
20:08
there is an open feed store here
20:16
waldo feed and hardware
20:16
which has a wooden cutout of a cow
20:20
on its side with some
20:24
with some little
20:25
googly eyes
20:34
i see you cow
20:34
and a nice little
20:36
throwback relic of the past my elbows
20:38
almost hit that mailbox
20:40
right over here it says antiques and
20:42
collectibles
20:43
painted on the side
20:46
of this wall
21:02
nice got the like the little grass
21:02
growing through it
21:03
there kind of provides a little ambiance
21:14
got the wind chimes off in the distance
21:14
in someone's yard that is
21:21
there you go little old school florida
21:21
there for you
21:23
this could have been a bank or some sort
21:24
of general store
21:26
here on the corner of canard street
21:30
k-e-n-n-a-r-d and the water tower
21:33
up there in the distance total of just
21:35
over 800
21:37
residents
21:39
according to what i just looked up
21:42
i like the front of this with the green
21:43
door
21:45
and up top here the
21:47
painting around the windows
21:49
some tile work of a railroad
21:52
or a rail car
21:56
right down there this is the city hall
22:03
the other one was just been a
22:03
town office of some sort
22:05
there it goes you can kind of faintly
22:06
see it
22:08
city
22:09
of waldo
22:11
city of 800 not city necessarily isn't a
22:13
large area
22:15
sometimes it's smaller than a town would
22:17
be
22:18
this could have been a barber shop this
22:19
is for rent
22:21
now
22:23
well i'm not seeing any kind of
22:24
indication that it was a barber shop but
22:27
from a distance i saw a little awning
22:29
and it made me think barbershop
22:31
some people over there doing a little
22:33
bit of work on that on that house and as
22:35
i continue
22:36
approaching hampton florida
22:39
and did a quick little search on info
22:41
about it
22:43
and some say it is the most corrupt town
22:45
in florida
22:47
so this should be interesting
22:49
mostly for like speed traps and whatnot
22:52
here's the post office
23:04
smooth sailing so far
23:04
not too much goings on
23:06
around the neighborhood it appears as if
23:09
this old store
23:11
now has a trailer on site someone might
23:13
live there
23:14
says beware of dog so i'm not going to
23:16
traverse too much
23:18
and pretty close to
23:20
university of florida gainesville
23:27
well same general vicinity that is
23:27
but i do want to show
23:29
this relic right up here
23:32
from a former
23:34
hotel maybe your store
23:37
yeah there we go
23:44
tough to make out that wording
23:44
oh
23:45
here is a wooden gentleman with a sign
23:48
pointing his finger
23:51
maybe saying
23:52
watch out you might get a speeding
23:53
ticket when you go through hampton
23:59
that's what they say anyway so
23:59
treading lightly and here's something
24:00
you won't see in big metropolises
24:07
locals on
24:07
lawn mowers pulling a trailer with a
24:10
shopping cart in it
24:28
very windy here in stark
24:28
a larger town of
24:29
5 000 residents
24:32
definitely not a
24:34
a big town by any means but larger than
24:36
some of the ones i passed through
24:38
i wanted to show this
24:39
this whole theater has the fl has
24:41
florida engraved on the top
24:44
the corner of walnut street
24:49
at the end of the other road at the
24:50
steeple
24:55
in that church building
24:55
and this bank is rather fascinating
24:57
looking very old
24:58
school this is the bradford
25:02
county bank
25:05
you can see the pillars
25:07
and what not in front
25:10
it's also the well it has
25:12
turned into the north florida regional
25:14
chamber of commerce
25:23
this map down below and this is on the
25:23
national register of historic places
25:26
built in 1914.
25:30
pretty cool
25:35
feel like you're being watched
25:35
you are
25:38
i've now turned onto highway 100
25:40
we'll pretty much take this for a good
25:42
ways before i cross over the georgia
25:51
highway 100
25:51
down at the waterfront there is butler
25:53
lake
25:55
which seems appropriate the town i'm in
25:58
it's called lake butler
26:00
only a couple thousand residents
26:18
main strip is over there
26:18
but i find it fascinating
26:20
that right here
26:22
is the courthouse if you go around the
26:25
back
26:26
of the courthouse
26:29
corner of lake ave
26:32
and north first street also known as
26:34
liberty street
26:36
you can see there
26:37
is the jail there around the back of the
26:39
courthouse they even have the little
26:41
barbed wire up
26:42
little
26:43
little chained wire around there
26:46
that's different
26:48
this what you would think would be a
26:49
through street it's kind of stanchioned
26:51
off over there
26:56
serving a dual purpose
26:56
over on that corner is a barber shop
26:59
very unique looking building
27:02
an appliance furniture store
27:05
over there as well
27:07
union county
27:20
the state flag and the u.s flag up there
27:20
and the breeze
27:33
established october 1st
27:33
1921
27:35
it's the smallest oh that's interesting
27:38
the smallest of florida's 67 counties
27:42
only 245 square miles
27:45
i never knew that
27:52
it helps always read these little
27:52
information placards that are all the
27:54
front historical buildings today is a
27:56
little quicker pace than what i'm
27:58
thinking the rest of the next month and
28:00
a half road trips will be like
28:02
this just trying to get out of florida
28:04
as stated tonight going to be
28:06
finding a place to lay my head for a few
28:08
days i'm going to use that as a central
28:10
point once i'm kind of like an hour to
28:13
north up into into the
28:15
georgia and past the georgia state line
28:17
and we'll be able to focus a little more
28:19
but kind of now just kind of breezing
28:20
through some of these little small
28:22
communities which is always nice
28:25
drove a little bit of a ways and at
28:27
these cross streets
28:31
stumbled on some
28:33
coffin dapper crosses here
28:41
you see these across the south mostly
28:41
a preacher from west virginia in the 80s
28:44
mid 80s
28:45
bernard was his first name cough and
28:47
dapper's last name
28:49
put up his first set of
28:52
these wooden crosses
28:54
always the gold one in the middle
29:00
and for about 10 years nine years
29:00
before he passed on
29:08
put them all over the place
29:08
and there is a nice set right here
29:12
i was driving down this road
29:14
saw him off to the side had turned
29:16
around did a u-turn
29:17
turned off through a neighborhood came
29:23
this is a
29:23
it's a nice little
29:25
roadside relic here off the side
29:27
side of the road
29:30
made out of wood
29:36
saw some of these recently in
29:36
in christmas florida on christmas eve
29:39
there was a set of these
29:40
you see him a lot
29:42
and this might have been
29:45
a church congregation at one time this
29:47
very unique looking structure
29:50
i think it was
30:11
it sure was
30:11
this says pastor parking oh this is some
30:13
very
30:15
very thick foliage i don't know if i
30:16
want to go any farther
30:18
that says pastor parking let me zoom in
30:29
right across the top there the o is
30:30
missing
30:30
past our
30:32
parking reserved
30:46
yeah fun fact
30:46
about those
31:04
this is just outside of lake city oh
31:04
do not want to
31:16
okay doesn't look like there's much in
31:18
i was thinking the ants would all kind
31:20
of scurry around oh there they go there
31:22
they go
31:24
yeah look at that
31:45
moving on look at the amount of paint
31:46
along the side of this little off ramp
31:49
that leads down to the
31:51
the famous swanny river
32:00
but noticing all the
32:00
spray painting that goes along here
32:03
people are not abiding
32:06
by this
32:07
little stipulation
32:09
it says keep your wayside part clean
32:12
damaging to facing or littering is a
32:14
violation of state law
32:21
however
32:21
doesn't stop many people from coming out
32:24
leaving their mark with a spray can the
32:25
swanny river
32:28
the historic notable
32:33
runs through florida
32:35
just before the state line
32:46
just kind of veered off figured i'll
32:46
walk down here
32:47
see what can be seen
32:50
i was about to say dip my toes in the
32:52
water
32:53
i'm not gonna take my shoes off
32:55
nor do i want to dip my toes in the
32:57
swanny
33:00
so i won't
33:02
oh it feels so good down here the breeze
33:04
is nice
33:11
got the cypress trees
33:11
looking beautiful
33:13
don't want to slip
33:15
don't want to slip tumble into the
33:32
of course you hear the cars going by i
33:32
was going across there
33:34
then loop back around this bridge here
33:37
is a railroad bridge it'd be nice if a
33:38
train went by but
33:40
i doubt that'll happen
33:42
odds are slim to none that will happen
33:44
while i'm down here it is windy and
33:46
breezy and nice
33:48
here along the swanny
33:56
okay
33:56
oh a little bit of an echo
33:58
hello
34:04
see if there was someone sitting
34:04
under the bridge there they would think
34:06
i was talking to them but there's no one
34:28
now over onto us41
34:28
feared onto another little back road
34:38
pulling through jasper now
34:38
where in a town if you need groceries
34:41
and you can fulfill that need
34:44
then
34:45
hitchcock who wouldn't be
34:48
he proud
34:51
i mean i had to
34:53
it's not every day you see a grocery
34:55
store
34:57
with this name
34:59
in jasper and this is downtown jasper
35:05
right here
35:06
along what was
35:08
the florida railroad
35:09
there's an old-fashioned soda fountain
35:12
right over there but you can see right
35:14
along here which is now like a bike
35:16
walking path
35:18
used to be where the railroad went
35:20
through town states here that it was
35:22
completed back in 1865
35:26
the line eventually became part of the
35:28
plant system and then atlantic coast
35:30
railroad took over from the florida
35:32
branch
35:34
and the railroad was abandoned the rails
35:36
were removed back in the late 1980s
35:40
but this is where the railroad tracks
35:43
would have been
35:45
right through here
35:52
downtown jasper
36:08
built in 1893
36:08
the old jail
36:21

36:21
historically

36:51
