TDW 1537 - The BIGGEST Snake in Florida

0:16 welcome everyone out of the dock Oh whoo

0:16 here gosh I gotta get that thing fixed

0:18 these things are great but the little

0:19 foam thing wears out and the little

0:21 bearing there the the little circular

0:24 bearing they always wear out super quick

0:26 and thanks to Luke eight-year-old Luke

0:29 drew this and put it on my van this

0:31 morning when I came out of my hotel

0:33 they found a I don't know how it is how

0:35 they I told them where you were whoa bro

0:39 hey it's my second channel daily vlog

0:41 boom paying attention to that guy it's

0:42 daily Wow look at these fancy light up

0:50 signs on the interstate

0:52 look at you Florida all advanced you

0:55 leave the state for just a little while

0:57 and everything gets a high-tech on you

0:59 look at those storm clouds a Fester and

1:02 above hopefully it does right now watch

1:04 off some of this Love Bug shenanigans

1:09 we have now crossed over another time

1:12 though I know it's only like an hour

1:14 here an hour there I look at the clock

1:16 and I think is that the correct time

1:18 someone has burned down a Family Dollar

1:22 this chiropractic clinic has an entire

1:25 spine on the side of the building

1:27 someone has restored this old gas

1:29 station to look like it did in the 1940s

1:32 and 1950s and I must say their attention

1:35 to detail is amazing down to the old gas

1:38 pumps Coca Cola machine and old-timey

1:41 truck indoors the old timey looking

1:43 bathrooms even old tiny signs even the

1:46 office is set to the time period pretty

1:49 much perfectly look at that old

1:50 cigarette machine on the left look at

1:52 that old phone whoever put their time

1:54 and effort into creating this good job

1:57 happy a satellite dish of the day award

2:00 goes to that guy that is a humongous

2:05 flag with that thing sway into the wind

2:15 rest area gourmet coffee let's give this

2:15 a try

2:34 oh that's super hot but surprisingly not

2:34 that bad check out Johnny Appleseed here

2:41 he's got a coffee and a doughnut just

2:44 perusing the countryside with some

2:48 caffeine that's how to do it and this

2:50 place is closed but the sign says

2:52 Bethesda Amazing Grace wonder why it

2:56 says that here's an another abandoned

2:59 gas station right there lots of graffiti

3:02 on those windows

3:07 got a lot of driving to do today and

3:07 tried to get as far down the road as I

3:10 can as possible

3:12 just cruising down the interstate by the

3:15 way do you know why interstates were

3:18 created and do you know what presidency

3:21 the interstates

3:29 you know what I was going with another

3:29 fun fact about interstates if the

3:31 interstate goes north and south it is an

3:33 odd number

3:34 if it goes east to west it's an even

3:36 number did you know that did you really

3:42 the sign says please keep off the grass

3:46 but there's picnic tables over there

3:51 that in order to get to them you have to

3:54 walk through the grass that's a

3:56 confusing one a lot more abandoned stuff

4:01 off the side of the interstate

4:02 these old gas pumps Oh somebody left

4:04 their boots there like that old

4:05 restaurant sign very retro and cool and

4:08 this one too awesome Lana whoa being a

4:14 gas stations out this way

4:15 all right i-75 south let's woozi's this

4:21 road is synonymous with heading into

4:23 Central Florida that's such a weird word

4:27 synonymous and I've been in the state

4:29 for a few days but we're just now coming

4:31 up on a Florida Welcome Center oh I see

4:34 it's the official Florida Welcome Center

4:37 I gotcha

4:38 grass is very important to your

4:40 spider-man head okay I could safely say

4:43 that was the worst Welcome Center I've

4:45 ever been in it was basically just a

4:47 ticket center there was nothing in there

4:49 other than some people trying to sell

4:51 you tickets and a huge 14-foot fake

4:54 Gator which made no sense how I that was

4:57 a back on the road which of the other

5:01 day how and ever thought

5:03 that I would be back in Florida with

5:06 this hunk of machinery again I'm going

5:09 to let you in a little secret I've been

5:11 a lot of cross-country trips over the

5:13 last five years back and forth throw

5:16 into to and fro north south east west a

5:20 plethora of places with this van and I

5:25 got to say I'm getting very very tired

5:27 of driving I think I think I'm going to

5:31 start incorporating other travel

5:34 mechanisms into getting around the

5:39 country and maybe even to other places

5:42 that's all they'll tell you for now but

5:45 just let that swirl around the old

5:47 noggin a little bit and you can maybe

5:49 get a hinted tidbit of what is inside my

5:55 brain alright enough of that back to

5:57 driving Florida has no shortage of rest

6:02 stops and no shortage of venomous snakes

6:06 this place combined the two that blue

6:09 arrow designates where we are Paynes

6:13 Prairie and just outside those restrooms

6:17 is a slithering snake of epic

6:20 proportions you can walk up this pathway

6:22 onto his backside up to his head up to

6:27 his dangerous forked tongue pointing

6:30 towards the interstate

6:32 all these passerby er cars have no idea

6:36 that these snake eyes are staring deep

6:39 into their souls right here in this what

6:42 was once thought safe rest stop oh no

6:46 it's not safe it's snake-filled gonna

6:51 stop off real quick at a place called

6:52 Micanopy Florida it's a little bit off

6:55 the beaten path

6:56 ladies trees something out of a movie

6:59 right it's funny you should mention that

7:00 because it was used in a movie this

7:02 little downtown area was home to Michael

7:05 J Fox in the movie dock Hollywood that

7:08 antique store that was the hospital

7:10 and if you use your Columbo like

7:12 research skills you can find a full

7:14 filming location video that was done a

7:17 few years ago here I can't tell you who

7:19 did that video though because that would

7:22 be spoiling right it's a pretty quaint

7:24 little town and they have a lot of

7:25 antique stores so check it out

7:36 there are definitely no shortage of

7:36 billboards in Florida look at this Ron

7:39 job surf shop billboard its split in two

7:42 across the interstate

7:55 the oka hunka service Plaza at the

7:55 threshold the Florida Turnpike and more

7:58 importantly they have Dunkin Donuts

8:01 check it out there's a fish tank in here

8:16 back when we were in Micanopy I forgot

8:16 to mention Michael J Fox first

8:18 discovered that he had Parkinson's

8:20 disease at least the symptoms when he

8:23 was filming doc Hollywood in that town

8:25 spray well here we go

8:36 okay here's the point when we play a

8:36 game called does my son pass still work

8:39 looking for green I didn't see a green

8:46 or a red this is about the closest

8:48 interchanges of roads that I've ever

8:50 seen in Central Florida that resembles

8:53 anything like Los Angeles and once you

8:56 go through it really don't see another

8:58 one like that this is the turkey Lake

9:00 service Plaza and I really need some gas

9:05 so I'm gonna get something now when you

9:08 shop at winn-dixie with your wings I am

9:13 really tired of driving I normally don't

9:15 drive this far and today between

9:17 stopping and editing and all that I use

9:19 you only go about a hundred miles today

9:21 I'm driving way more than that the

9:23 reason for that is tomorrow I have to be

9:27 somewhere I have plans in other words

9:29 far

9:30 and I'd like to make them on time

9:47 my old stomping grounds I'm going that

9:47 way

9:56 oh st. cloud we meet again you can't

9:56 make this up if you look in the distance

10:07 you can barely see it but welcoming me

10:07 is a rainbow yeah barely good enough for

10:13 me vlog over
