it's almost as if they're promoting the
0:02
no
0:03
trespassing like it was some sort of
0:05
sale like a business sale they have a
0:07
banner saying no
0:09
trespassing never seen that before
0:11
welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:14
leaving Indiana today in fact I'm in
0:16
rout right now I just have to get you
0:19
guys situated here before I start the
0:22
Vlog I should probably put my van in
0:24
part it's my second channel daily Vlog
0:27
channel it's
0:39
someone yesterday left a comment saying
0:39
that they were going to unsubscribe or
0:41
they did unsubscribe because they do not
0:44
like the crushing of the water bottle
0:45
since they're unsubscribed they're not
0:47
watching this Vlog anymore
0:50
so
0:52
it's the daily W whoa
1:38
whoa is that a
1:38
deer oh it's fake thought it was real
1:42
for a
1:43
second Wheel of Fortune I like to buy a
1:48
vowel Pat according to the sign on the
1:50
door no pets are allowed but I find that
1:52
very confusing because this sign says
1:56
pets welcome so are they welcome or are
2:00
they not allowed make up your mind rest
2:10
area visit the hooer
2:10
gym don't mind if I
2:13
do oh my gosh there it is when I think
2:17
of movies that are based on sports that
2:19
I am fans of a few come to mind hooers
2:22
being number one F the dreams being
2:24
number two the natural being number
2:27
three those are probably my top three
2:30
favorite sport films and I did the
2:33
filming locations of hooers 5 years ago
2:36
on the Adam the woo Channel back before
2:38
I even really knew how to film or put
2:40
stuff together or edit or document
2:42
things correctly not that I really know
2:44
what I'm doing now but back then I was
2:46
less informed on the subject matter and
2:49
now I'm returning to the hooer gy this
2:52
is awesome and it's open right now
3:31
this is pretty crazy to be sitting in
3:33
the gym from
3:35
poers I love that movie if you've never
3:37
seen it do yourself a
3:39
favor check it
3:50
out there's one scene in the movie that
3:50
always resonates in my head and it was
3:53
filmed through this door
3:57
downstairs I'm going to go down here
4:21
same this is the locker room used in the
4:21
movie where they were saying the prayer
4:23
before they went upstairs to play a
4:25
pivotal basketball game
4:33
this is awesome seriously this is like
4:33
hollowed sports movie history ground
4:37
right here and here on the chalkboard
4:39
they have some of the famous lines from
4:41
the movie of course Jimmy Chitwood said
4:44
I'll make it and one of my favorite
4:46
lines was when Jean Hackman's character
4:49
coach Dale said welcome to Indiana
4:52
basketball this is blowing my mind
4:53
because Jean Hackman walked up these
4:56
exact stairs and before he opened that
4:58
door to to go out into his first
5:01
coaching
5:02
experience the door was closed and he
5:05
said welcome to Indiana
5:24
airball that was pretty cool I love that
5:24
movie I get a little choked up every
5:26
time I see it especially when you walk
5:28
through the doors of the gym in fact the
5:31
guy that works in there was telling me
5:33
that a lot of times grown men like me
5:36
will go in the gym and they'll just sit
5:37
there and just stare at the court and
5:40
they'll get tears in their eyes because
5:42
it's such a dramatic movie and it's part
5:43
of you know it's part of their youth and
5:45
their childhood or memories in their
5:47
mind it's crazy how a film can
5:51
infiltrate your head that way and your
5:52
heart that way and for a lot of people
5:55
hoers did that those are some humongous
6:00
candles look at those things according
6:02
to this sign train rides are $3 but I
6:05
don't think this train track has been
6:08
operational in a long time there's grass
6:10
growing through it they had these little
6:12
cylinder yellow Spears like all the way
6:16
around it I don't think it's open
6:18
anymore as I was pulling in here I was
6:20
really Blown Away by those large candles
6:23
I had no idea those were going to pale
6:25
in
6:26
comparison to this one look at this
6:29
thing this is the world's largest candle
6:33
according to the internet anyway do not
6:35
throw things into the pen because
6:39
then you would injure that little
6:42
creature what is that thing I mean for
6:44
real look at the size of that the guy
6:46
walking underneath it kind of gives a
6:48
comparison on how large that candle
6:50
really
6:52
is lot of cool murals in this town on
6:55
the side of these buildings I like this
6:56
one there's a fire in the upstairs and
6:59
the are down at the bottom catching This
7:01
Woman's cat protect the cat do not let
7:05
the cat fall onto the ground save the
7:08
cat save him and check out the top up
7:11
there I think the name of that photo was
7:14
unconditional surrender it was a sailor
7:17
I think it was in New York City who
7:18
randomly took a woman and kissed her
7:21
without her permission and the
7:23
photographer took the picture and it
7:25
became world famous and after the
7:27
picture was taken the woman slapped the
7:28
man
7:30
but the the photo and the kiss lives on
7:35
infamy oh there it is welcome to
7:45
Ohio I pulled off onto one of these old
7:45
country side roads and there's this very
7:48
unusual thing right up here and I hope I
7:50
don't miss it it's a rock that has a
7:53
giant footprint in it almost like some
7:55
kind of gargantuan creature set foot
7:59
into the concrete and just left it and
8:02
it's only a few feet off the side of
8:03
this road this should be interesting
8:06
well I found the sign and I also
8:09
found where the old abandoned gas
8:12
station used to
8:14
be and the only thing I can figure that
8:17
resembles footprint Rock would be this
8:21
slab right
8:24
here what do you think do you think this
8:27
resembles a footprint I guess it kind of
8:30
does it almost looks like a dinosaur
8:32
footprint stomped down or maybe they're
8:36
considering this to be the footprint you
8:39
put your foot right
8:42
here I don't know I don't know about
8:46
that one I you know what I guess when
8:48
you back up a little bit it really does
8:50
look like a footprint some of the
8:52
stories of this go back for generations
8:54
and some say if you set your foot inside
8:57
there you will go back in time time to
9:00
back when the gas station that is now
9:01
destroyed
9:03
existed I don't know if that's true or
9:05
not but that's what they say here is
9:07
some sort of security officer behind me
9:11
either that or maybe he's curious about
9:12
the footprint Rock too let's just hope
9:15
that's what that
9:23
is you comfortable up there that's right
9:23
that's right I am I'm here come on I'm
9:25
comfortable right here that's one way to
9:28
carry a bicycle
9:29
just hang it out the window Miamisburg
9:33
Mound
9:34
Park wonder what that is check out the
9:38
size of that
9:39
thing look at
9:53
is after doing a little quick research
9:53
online I have discovered that this is a
9:56
65 ft tall prehist historic Indian
10:01
burial ground one of the
10:04
largest this side of the Mississippi
10:07
River in 1869 they did an excavation of
10:10
the
10:11
mound and it contained a bark covered
10:16
skeleton and a vault 28 ft lower that
10:20
was surrounded by logs but without a
10:23
barial along the side of the vertical
10:25
shaft were found various layers of ashes
10:28
and St
10:30
Stone implying that the mound was built
10:32
in several
10:34
stages the entire construction however
10:37
has never been
10:40
systematically excavated how many bodies
10:43
do you think are buried under this
10:51
thing and if you really wanted to you
10:51
could put your body between this fence
10:55
and this fence and step onto the Indian
10:58
barrier ground itself I'm standing on
11:01
the Indian burial
11:04
ground isn't that what happened in
11:06
polter guys that had something to do
11:09
with an Indian burial ground right all
11:11
right enough of that I'm not going any
11:13
further in there I'm going to stay on
11:15
I'm going to stay on the beaten path
11:17
this time I made it to the top there's a
11:19
golf course right down there as well you
11:23
can get a pretty good view of the
11:26
landscape and there's this
11:29
rock structure on top of the mound in
11:33
these bent
11:34
back bars almost like someone was trying
11:37
to
11:39
escape and the mound has been here so
11:41
long you can find old photos of it when
11:44
it still had trees before the city of
11:47
Miamisburg cut the trees down look at
11:50
this here's a photo of a Boy Scout Troop
11:53
from
11:54
1930 just hanging out on the mound I'm
11:58
not the only one with interest in going
11:59
to the top there's actually a woman with
12:01
her son who climbed to the top as well
12:03
and you know what I'm going to do now
12:04
I'm going to take the Drone out and fly
12:06
it and get a bird's eye view cuz it's
12:08
not every day you come across and you
12:10
see an Indian burial ground in person
12:14
out of all the years I've been on this
12:15
Earth I have never climbed or seen a
12:19
burial
12:20
ground pretty crazy I'm in route now to
12:23
stopped by a friend of mine's house that
12:24
I haven't seen in a few years back in
12:26
2003 I was in a band with him called
12:29
Alias Clark I mentioned it in former
12:31
Vlogs and I think the album's still
12:33
available on iTunes but he lives in Ohio
12:37
and I'm passing very close to his house
12:39
so I'm going to stop off and say hello
12:41
so this is Jim Jim was the singer in
12:43
Alias Clark and this is his little music
12:47
room basement and he's found some old
12:49
school photos here which I don't know if
12:51
they would be incriminating but what the
12:55
heck were we thinking
13:01
should I keep perusing through these are
13:02
these are these safe for video there's
13:04
nothing too crazy in there that must be
13:06
me with the bear head on yeah where did
13:08
it even come from I don't I don't even
13:11
know wow I was so young then see we were
13:13
trying to do some kind of edgy band
13:16
photo and this is what we came up look
13:18
at this that doesn't even look like me
13:20
so basically these were going to be
13:21
promo shots we were going to use either
13:22
for a CD cover but I think I think Jim
13:25
you just kept these just kind of for
13:26
your own personal preference right for
13:27
your own personal use and that's
13:29
basically yeah that's it right there
13:31
that was what that was the one we ended
13:32
up using and these are the
13:34
outtakes oh man people are going to hold
13:36
these against me I know check me out
13:38
there on the commode reading the Orlando
13:47
Weekly look at that Sunset over there
13:47
