0:50
that and get moving yeah it's a little
0:50
chilly now but when the sun comes up at
0:52
a warm up and I'm heading southbound
0:54
it'll be a little a little warmer it's
0:56
even not even not really cold out but
0:58
you know the sun's not up yet in fact
1:00
you can see see the moon up there yeah
1:03
it's only 4:32 a.m. now this is showing
1:06
about 11 and 1/2 hours if I just kind of
1:08
hammered it out quickly but I will be
1:09
pulling off of the interstates and
1:11
obviously filming some stuff
1:14
773 miles is to MCO Orlando
1:17
International where my rental car is due
1:20
back and then I got to pick up my car
1:21
and drive the other 30 m back to
1:23
Celebration that's why I'm approximately
1:24
saying 800 miles but factor in some
1:28
veering off it'll be a little bit more
1:30
than
1:31
that going to get going early bird gets
1:35
the worm or in this case the
1:39
freeway it is
1:41
early getting a little self-pumping gas
1:44
nozzle action on here filling up the
1:48
rental price of gas here in this area of
1:52
Virginia $3 and 1 cent a gallon well
1:56
yeah 301 also Circle K getting in
2:00
on the holiday
2:02
AG holiday cups usually at this hour
2:06
most the people on the road are
2:15
truckers once the sun comes up you got a
2:15
lot of people commuting and going to
2:16
work but a lot of trucker out at this
2:31
hour got to be quite a few rest
2:31
stops on this commute
2:35
southbound we got their RVs parked here
2:38
some of the truckers fact even down off
2:40
the offramp over
2:42
there a lot of trucks lined up right off
2:45
the freeway sometimes they'll have the
2:47
UR are
2:49
here little icon on
2:52
here not seeing it
2:56
however this particular
2:58
moment
3:13
however snack section over here is not
3:13
incarcerated there's no bars sometimes
3:16
you go to rest stops and they'll have
3:18
they have them behind bars so people
3:19
don't like break into them
3:31
or
3:31
got the picnic area out here little too
3:34
early for anyone picnicking but even
3:36
even during Prime moments of the day you
3:39
don't really see a lot of people
3:41
picnicking at rest stops this is a
3:43
really kind of a steep incline down the
3:46
side of
3:54
this rest stops are nice cuz you can use
3:54
the facilities but you can always you
3:56
know stretch the legs too after driving
3:57
a while I am right out outside
4:01
Radford on 81
4:25
southbound all right continuing
4:25
on first rest stop of the
4:28
day
4:34
way back to my car I was noticing this
4:34
travel safety tips safety secure
4:38
belongings always parking well-lighted
4:40
areas fasten safety belt eliminate the
4:43
unexpected by planning ahead leave
4:46
valuables out of sight and you are the
4:49
most important safety
4:52
Factor certainly not going to be the
4:54
most exciting
4:56
trip definitely covering some ground
4:59
sun's coming up slowly but
5:03
surely all I jumped off the freeway just
5:05
for a little bit just to get off the
5:07
interstate for a brief moment Fancy Gap
5:11
right here at the base of Foggy
5:19
Mountain little Variety
5:19
shop over
5:30
here day is beginning the sun is rising
5:30
got some cows out there on the hillside
5:32
very nice little
5:35
fog some
5:38
Haze and lots of cows out there grazing
5:41
starting off their day as
5:53
well back to the freeway got a lot of
5:53
miles to cover long way to go uh-oh
5:56
what's going on
5:58
here
6:00
oh oversized load going up the on ramp
6:02
there that's where I'm
6:11
heading I think I can get up that way
6:11
see the briskness of the weather with
6:21
the smoke they permeating up
6:21
42° according to the thermometer in the
6:30
car
6:30
going
6:51
around sun's coming up showed a lot of
6:51
stuff in my travels over the years a lot
6:53
of unique
6:58
places there could to be a lot of rest
6:58
stops today I don't know and file them
7:00
under unique or
7:13
though I love the leaves here all the
7:13
leaves are changing I miss the changing
7:15
of the leaves by a few weeks in this on
7:18
this
7:19
trip guess I have a free travel map for
7:22
anyone that chooses
7:42
Corridor just crossed over the North
7:42
Carolina line it's not open yet it's
7:44
only 75 a.m. at the
7:47
moment oh over here the
7:49
refreshments are in a SE
7:53
building yeah that's the refreshment
7:55
area over
7:57
there here's a general layout out of the
8:08
land no pet allowed the singular of pets
8:08
even though they're showing
8:11
pets no pet
8:14
allowed caution tape up here at this one
8:18
rest stop
8:19
tour pending machines no bars through
8:23
here either North Carolina does not lock
8:25
up with bars no incarceration
8:37
all right moving on stretch the legs use
8:37
the facilities I'm out of here also it's
8:40
very
8:46
brisk and cool and
8:46
crisp so probably wouldn't be anybody
8:49
picnicking out but yeah just want to
8:51
show no one
9:04
into some traffic now making my way
9:04
through Charlotte the Charlotte
9:12
area got to Veer off this
9:12
and continue southbound another rest
9:14
stop I have crossed yet another state
9:17
line I will not be in this spot for the
9:20
allotted time frame of 30 minutes so I
9:22
think I'm good to park here now over
9:24
there you can park as long as you want
9:26
but you park in front of the welcome to
9:28
South Carolina sign they're designating
9:31
only a half
9:38
hour this is pretty nice cuz they have
9:38
porch swings out
9:48
front it's 902 which means the
9:48
inside should be open could go
9:51
in like the swings hair out
9:59
front some snacks here so goodness
9:59
inside not going to be consuming any of
10:03
them
10:04
but also check out over here there's a
10:07
those little sandwiches in this one it's
10:09
a vending machine with sandwiches even
10:11
some pero cheese up there and ice
10:14
cream that's interesting they got the
10:16
ice cream in there it stays Frozen does
10:19
that mean the sandwiches are really
10:21
really
10:26
cold again just stretching the legs
10:26
covering some ground every time I see
10:28
one of these electrical Towers the power
10:32
line Towers always reminds me of the one
10:34
behind Marty McFly's house and back to
10:36
the
10:36
future I can't be the only one that
10:39
think that and the roads I'm taking
10:42
while the road I'm on now is 77 South
10:45
then I'll connect with 26 South then
10:48
I'll hit 95 south over to I4
10:59
West then
10:59
home more or less in that General
11:03
vicinity little Overlook here at the
11:06
restt even though it is a
11:09
Interstate this little placard here
11:12
designating B Bales Mack Highway named
11:15
in
11:16
85 in honor of a distinguished attorney
11:19
in public
11:22
servant also it's about 9:15 right
11:26
now no one picnicking
11:37
trucks park over there cars on the side
11:37
I'm going to get moving also I feel like
11:39
this row of shrubs has been parked here
11:42
more than a half
11:44
hour you're breaking the rules
12:11
place when I first started this trip I
12:11
had forgotten my cord that plugs into
12:15
the my iPhone that goes in here so I had
12:18
to stop at a truck stop end up
12:20
purchasing one the problem is this one
12:23
does not work anymore so I meant to buy
12:24
another one or there's something wrong
12:26
with the rental car so I tried pluging
12:28
get in there the phone doesn't charge so
12:31
this cord you never know if you're
12:32
buying something at a gas station if
12:34
it's going to work but there's a plug in
12:37
there and there's also a plugin also a
12:39
spot there almost like a lighter the
12:42
lighter
12:43
style because usually you know the newer
12:46
phones you'd have a cord that would plug
12:48
into the kind of the old style Port here
12:52
but these new
12:53
cords they look like this they're like a
12:56
tinier one for the newer iPhones so I
12:58
can't can't just plug that directly into
13:01
that so when I stop for another cup of
13:04
coffee I'll try to get an adapter that
13:06
will work right but this worked for
13:09
about 3 days and now it's not working ah
13:13
travel fun my phone uh my phone is needs
13:16
some juice okay turns out that this was
13:19
not the problem nor was the cord I
13:21
plugged in my other cord but I went and
13:23
bought this as
13:25
well went inside a another little truck
13:28
stop
13:29
so I got now I got two extra 20 wat kind
13:32
of so evidently it is the port down here
13:37
that is not working so that was working
13:39
for a while but then I plugged this in
13:42
and I also kind of did a little problem
13:44
shooting with the uh other cord neither
13:47
one of them works so it's that but I do
13:50
not have that end to go into there that
13:53
adapts to this
13:55
end kind of aggravating but I do do have
13:59
the plug into the wall charger but I
14:00
can't plug it into that while I'm
14:03
driving fueling up again at a little
14:06
less than quarter of a
14:08
tank over here at this pilot see if they
14:12
just have a regular plug
14:16
in also price of fuel here
14:20
$39 a
14:27
gallon there's my shadow also I've been
14:27
listening to the new blink 82 album the
14:29
last few times on this trip and also
14:31
some podcasts as well it's 11:22 this
14:35
particular moment I listened to a
14:37
variety of things but I've had that one
14:38
on the the last couple hours just on
14:42
repeat got a little Little Red Bull
14:45
watermelon really good flavor there and
14:47
then I've opted for this which is just
14:49
the standard to see if it'll plug into
14:52
that cuz I did not bring the traditional
14:55
cord cuz on the newer iPhone you're
14:57
supposed to have a special cord but I'm
14:58
going to see if the the regular one
15:00
works and hopefully because definitely
15:03
need to charge my phone I can't just I
15:05
got a long way to go so I can't find a
15:07
regular outlet and just sit around and
15:09
wait for it to charge so see if
15:10
hopefully that'll work and take a look
15:12
at that it's charging it works it's also
15:16
1130 going to put on this album find a
15:19
way home mxpx is new album I've listen
15:21
to it a couple times already it's pretty
15:23
good so I'm going to give it a spin find
15:26
a way home and where I fueled up was
15:30
right here just a little north of
15:33
Orangeburg below Columbia and South
15:35
Carolina all right back on the road not
15:37
really veering off the interstate too
15:39
much today but I cannot bypass Bowman
15:43
South Carolina without driving the four
15:46
or five
15:49
miles off of the interstate to check it
15:52
out I think I've been by this place
15:55
three or four times each time hoping
15:58
that Jody pendarvis the man who created
16:01
it will be
16:02
home possibly today he
16:05
will I did see him at Area 51 few years
16:09
ago when they had that event out there
16:11
but I've never seen him on his home
16:13
terrain and I'm kind of curious his
16:17
creation if it has fallen into more
16:19
disrepair since the last time I was here
16:21
a year or so
16:23
ago this is about 5 miles off the
16:26
freeway so it's not going to set me back
16:28
to too
16:35
much very tiny town with a unique
16:35
Roadside Attraction I guess you could
16:37
call it yeah I'm attracted to it I don't
16:41
know if anybody else is yeah the
16:42
impression when I pulled up here
16:46
definitely is not as in the most
16:48
pristine
16:55
condition as it once was fact it looks
16:55
like it's kind of fallen over over there
17:13
Bowman mailin for mayor Town Council UFO
17:13
man I I was wonder what this
17:33
I believe at one point this possibly was
17:33
up
17:48
ratchets that's going through the
17:48
fence could that be holding that in
18:02
yeah it
18:02
is goes from there oh it's holding the
18:05
whole thing from falling
18:07
over oh that's a
18:29
bummer
18:36
yeah in the past I've climbed up in
18:36
there but I don't know if that's wise to
18:38
do
18:44
now
18:44
dang
19:17
neighborhood take a look at
19:17
this it's a little mural right here a
19:20
little space
19:26
mural space voyages are
19:26
welcome a space
19:29
Voyager are welcome pictures are okay
19:33

19:36
spray
19:37
painted alien right here
19:43

19:43
man right so I've come by here a number
19:46
of times to meet jod and met you at Area
19:49
51 and I've always wanted to see you on
19:51
your home turf now I'm I'm seeing you
19:54
here and I see you now yeah yeah we had
19:57
a good time over what there didn't we we
19:59
were one of a handful of people that
20:00
showed up that day a handful yes sir
20:04
yeah at least it was a couple handfuls
20:06
out there they were going to they were
20:08
going to storm the gates but no one
20:09
stormed we just stood there oh yeah
20:12
because there was more cops than us
20:14
there were that's right how how are
20:17
things going you doing good oh uh yeah
20:20
yeah even though I just lost the mayor
20:22
race last night yesterday was the
20:25
election yeah yeah I I got six
20:29
votes how about that was it how many
20:32
people live in the town of Bowman well
20:34
there was over 220 voting so I should
20:38
have got some you got six that's more
20:40
than I would get I'd get zero there you
20:43
go but I'm not from here
20:45
so I was actually hoping to get zero you
20:49
you didn't want to get any uh right I
20:51
was getting ready to carry the uh UFO
20:53
down if I got zero oh that's what the
20:56
that's that was that what you're going
20:57
to do you got to tear it down at zero
21:00
yeah at zero I was going to tear it down
21:02
now that I got now you got six it's
21:04
going to stay up I don't know whether I
21:06
tear it down or not but I'm getting
21:08
ready to real soon okay all this junk
21:11
out there yeah I've been advertising you
21:14
know some trash and some a okay so what
21:17
is this this is considered trash uh not
21:21
quite okay maybe that that right there
21:24
yeah all right but yep and this is part
21:27
of the
21:29
UFO what year did you build this
21:32
94 95 I finished it
21:36
in January 96 okay yeah the first time I
21:40
came by here I think was probably
21:43
2012 yeah that's whenever I built the
21:46
second one up there in
21:50
2001 the second part of it yeah the
21:53
second one see the first one stopped
21:54
right there had the flap
21:57
top but everybody kept walking on top
22:00
right right so I said I got to build
22:02
another one now make it higher last time
22:04
I was here a year ago I climbed up to
22:07
the top of it you can I I tried finding
22:10
it you weren't here that day you were
22:11
out of town or something I looked I
22:12
looked all the up there why didn't sneak
22:14
up I left a couple dollars in the little
22:16
tip jar thing where it says very nice of
22:18
you
22:19
yeah but now I don't know if it's I
22:21
probably shouldn't climb up there now no
22:23
no you could you still can yeah yeah but
22:25
you got to gun to go like it it's an
22:28
angle okay a real bad angle but I
22:32
climbed up there last night know okay
22:36
why don't you go ahead and do that and
22:38
let me go check my watch all right good
22:41
to see you buddy let me get a photo with
22:43
you all right that was pretty awesome
22:45
that was pretty dang
22:47
cool that I was able to catch up with
22:49
him on his
22:52
property I am not going to climb to the
22:54
top decided against it I have for in the
22:58
past I think every time I've been here
23:00
I've climbed up there a little he's got
23:02
a little donation thing over there so if
23:04
he's not
23:07
here he invited me to climb the top but
23:09
I don't I don't think I'm going to after
23:11
I don't
23:12
know I'm not feeling after risky today
23:15
but man that that was cool and we went
23:18
to I went to the area 51 thing a few
23:20
years ago and he was probably one of
23:24
maybe there were 50 of us out there it
23:26
was supposed to be this whole viral
23:28
thing that was just going to be out of
23:30
control people wise and it just was kind
23:32
of a bust he drove from here he told me
23:35
he drove all the way from here out there
23:37
took him 4 days I was living in
23:39
California at the time I drove up from
23:42
Orange County I think I was live in
23:44
Orange County I can't remember if I was
23:44
living in Orange County or Hollywood
23:46
either one of those I drove out there
23:48
and
23:49
back feel like I should get one last
23:52
little look here just in case the next
23:54
time I'm in this area which who knows
23:56
when the heck that'll be
23:58
if this thing isn't he kind of seemed
24:01
like he was teasing the fact that it
24:03
might not be around much
24:19
perhaps right behind the Bowman South
24:19
Carolina Country
24:21
Store right there Country Store this is
24:25
a pretty awesome little structure here
24:28
in town also this is in the little
24:31
downtown of Bowman which isn't much of a
24:34
downtown a couple houses and a couple
24:37
businesses but
24:40
that I like
24:47
that all right back to the interstate
24:47
got some time to cover time to make up
24:49
got a long way to go I think I'm about
24:51
halfway there though he was nice enough
24:52
to let me get a photo with him a little
24:54
selfie there he was doing the Vulcan
24:57
Spock
24:58
hand there he he was very
25:01
accommodating for for a brief moment and
25:04
he was fine with me filming and give him
25:06
a quick little interview carried on a
25:08
little
25:09
bit continuing
25:11
South have reached the area where there
25:15
are
25:21
incarcerated fing
25:21
machines oh this is interesting this is
25:25
interesting Why is the buy logo on a p

25:34
with Pepsi that's not the case someone
25:35
just threw a sticker on there what the
25:38
heck did these vending machines do to

25:46
What In The
25:48
Box and at this time of the day no one
25:51
picnicking here in South Carolina at the
25:54
restops all right they have the UR here
25:57
on the there you go right there you are
26:01
here for now I'm there but soon I'll be
26:05
elsewhere I also want to know who still
26:08
uses the hotel coupons pamphlets I mean
26:12
I guess people do if they're putting
26:13
them out here in South Carolina and I
26:18
was going to make a coffee get another
26:21
little caffeine product here used to be
26:24
a sign right there however
26:28
was going to get a vending machine
26:31
coffee but I
26:48
stuck as I'm continuing South I'm in
26:48
Ridgeway now no Ridgeland Ridgeland
26:57
s this little building here this is just
26:57
right off off the
26:59
freway little restaurant that's seen
27:03
better
27:24
days the fireworks stand in
27:24
hardyville South Carolina still but not
27:27
too far from the Georgia state line I
27:31
recall the day I've been traveling this
27:33
thoroughfare long enough to remember
27:36
when these two
27:37
elephants were not in the
27:46
shade year or two ago they built this
27:46
this little overhang
27:47
here to give them give them a little
27:49
shade from the
27:51
elements firework stand appears to be
27:54
open over there there's a couple cats
27:55
being fed front of the door
28:02
please stay off of the elephants
28:02
however this is 116 Hummingbird Lane
28:07
says so right
28:16
there most likely gas pumps used to be
28:16
right here in the front you can see
28:17
where the pumps used to be never noticed
28:20
that
28:26
before Crazy Joe's
28:26
fireworks
28:31
and some hubg
28:31
grass as
28:33
well see the Hub grass there that
28:35
they're
28:36
on see the shirts at Disney my favorite
28:39
color is hubg
28:41
grass that would be an extra large for
28:43
the Pink Elephant to wear that
28:45
t-shirt the old neon up up top this is
28:49
what I know I'm getting
28:51
close to the Georgia Line when I see
28:54
these elephants these are a staple there
28:57
also so this rocket right
29:04
here the red white and blue go right
29:04
underneath these these
29:19
classic classic
29:19
roadside pieces of art fiberglass
29:25
elephants a gray one and a pink one
29:29
all right carrying on about to cross
29:30
over the state line and then another
29:31
rest stop to Georgia welcome center
29:35
right next to the fireworks
29:36
stand is this old
29:39
restaurant that's
29:49
closed going the opposite way where the
29:49
drive-thru would have taking
30:05
states of
30:05
Plenty are
30:08
being
30:09
accomplished I'm now crossing over into
30:21
Georgia they are glad that George is on
30:21
my mind people put
30:22
stickers look at this it like a little
30:24
googly eyes this reminds me of
30:27
the FedEx guy at Dragon
30:37
Con the googly eye FedEx guy which this
30:37
last year I
30:38
went was nowhere to be
30:42
found must have
30:44
retired all these rest stop this is
30:46
technically a welcome center but it's a
30:48
basically a rest stop glorified rest
30:49
stop all themed a little bit different
30:51
different architecture different states
30:54
just seeing a bunch of them oh this
30:56
might prove prove my theory here look
30:58
all these are empty all the hotel
31:00
booklets coupon books are empty oh I'm
31:04
completely wrong never mind they're not
31:07
empty there's some in
31:09
there this hotel deals now is empty and
31:14
this one's empty but this
31:17
one not empty I love this look at this
31:20
welcome y'all explore Georgia you got
31:24
like a little
31:25
train over here you got look at this a
31:27
gator we're getting into the the areas
31:30
with the swamps Florida definitely a lot
31:33
of a lot of these but Georgia also has
31:36
some Gators and some little little
31:39
youngans right there on the Mama's back
31:41
one thing I really like about this one
31:43
is there is you also hear the hand
31:45
dryers from the facilities which is
31:46
always kind of fun when there's s lot of
31:48
hand dryers are just like the loudest
31:50
things ever just kind of strange to me
31:52
that the hand dryers are even like still
31:53
a thing like earpiercing hand dryers we
31:56
got visit Savannah and one thing
31:58
Savannah is known for is the Forest Gump
32:03
bench and rum it's big vat of rum right
32:08
there but take a look at this life is
32:10
like a box of
32:12
chocolates right there
32:14
Savannah and you know what's interesting
32:16
when I get back to Celebration there's a
32:18
Savannah Square that looks a lot like
32:20
this Savannah was established in
32:24
1733 those look like comfortable
32:28
shoes Tom hanks's face he looks like
32:31
he's very bewildered right there he's
32:34
like really given a lot of thought to
32:35
his life it's like a almost like a
32:38
really confused Forest
32:41
Gump
32:52
yep I guess just stopped in and said
32:52
that she liked a new building and the
32:53
employee said that they built it 6 years
32:56
ago
33:17
well got the videlia
33:17
onions this gentleman here we could
33:21
actually actually kind of smells like
33:23
onions the boxes back there little
33:26
permeating
33:31
a good amount of Resturant this is a
33:32

33:36
Ford take a spin in Henry Ford's
33:39

33:46
you could step up in here but it's like
33:47
sted off but you can kind of peek in
33:50
right there okay 104 is very proud of
33:55
especially
33:57
a lighthouse here
34:07

34:07
lighthouse light up lens and hear the
34:09
sounds of the ships
34:13
passing going to light
34:20
up I heard the
34:20
ship I can hear the but I don't
34:22
hear see the
34:36
sound it's hard to hear it with the
34:36
sneezing and the Hand blower in the
34:51
p.m. no pets are allowed in the picnic
34:51
area I also wanted to point out that
34:53
even though there are a bunch of crows
34:55
over here in the picnic
34:58
section no one eating at the
35:11
rarity like the architecture of
35:11
these roofs though over the tables
35:29
tree hitchock would
35:29
be
35:40
proud also take a look at this this is
35:40
the very first Brunswick Stew was made
35:58
pot
36:00
goodness
36:19
horrified Hitchcock would be
36:19
proud I know I said it twice but worth
36:21
worth a REV what the heck did you do to
36:25
get locked up like this ice cream
36:28
machine look at this it's an ice cream
36:31
machine I ice scream for ice
36:40
cream they have a coffee
36:46
machine oh anybody over here taking a
36:46
picnic nope not joking at all but when I
36:50
was walking in that way there was either
36:52
a husband or a wife or a brother and
36:53
sister or boyfriend girlfriend a bird
36:57
crapped right in the woman's hair and
37:01
then the guy that was with her was
37:02
holding her hair back and they went in
37:04
the family bathroom to clean her hair so
37:07
beware they they're not messing
37:34
went ahead and fueled up again I will
37:34
have to fuel up one more time before I
37:36
turn the rental car to MCO but it was
37:39
$276 276 a gallon a gas to go yes

41:20
that I might end up getting a coffee
41:22
when I drop my car off at MCO so I got
41:25
another half hour drive after that but
41:27
coffee and burritos doesn't really
41:29
piping hot caffeinated beverage and
41:30
burritos don't really mix good old beef
41:33
burrito also been listening to a lot of
