Extreme Backroads & Hidden Towns In Mississippi - Cross Country Trip Day Three / 9 States In 9 Days

0:03 day three begins of my journey cross

0:03 country through the nooks and crannies

0:05 the small towns and the backroads of the

0:08 US about to set foot into Mississippi by

0:15 looking at this road atlas give you a

0:17 general overview making my entry over

0:20 here to the right coming out of the east

0:22 and just gonna stay in the southern

0:26 bottom areas this might make awake my

0:29 way across I can't talk and with the

0:32 morning brings the Sun very nice welcome

0:43 everyone Adam is the woo here this Trek

0:46 and journey so far has been a heck of a

0:50 breath of fresh air and will continue to

0:53 be so no theme parks no major

0:55 attractions just good old Americana

0:59 inviting you to join me shall you this

1:05 Chamber of Commerce is an old service

1:09 station established in 1923 I know that

1:15 fact because it's inscribed there in

1:17 brick on the ground best I can tell the

1:22 facades been removed

1:25 but this amazing signage still exists

1:28 for the coffee pot in lucid ale

1:50 Bailey's scratching post here off the

1:50 sidewalk starts from the concrete upward

1:54 and there's these little grooves can

1:58 lean and lean against scratch your back

2:04 if you so she is very scenic

3:39 just on the outskirts of Wiggins as this

3:39 rest facility named after one of its

3:43 favorite sons little security stay him

3:48 there J Hana Dizzy Dean the baseball

3:53 legend lived in bond a small community

3:55 five miles north of here governor

3:59 William Waller once said that dizzy

4:02 started the nation's awareness of the

4:04 good side of Mississippi stepped inside

4:07 now where it is very very quiet this

4:10 bench has been placed here in his honor

4:14 as well as these tiles on the side of

4:17 the wall

4:24 hello

4:24 hi

4:36 New Hope Road I'm gonna say there are

4:36 probably times during the rainy season

4:38 that this gets flooded over let's see

4:43 the swamp here on the left and even more

4:47 swamp here on the right right up to the

4:52 edge of the street even telephone pole

4:57 has been submerged any creatures looming

5:02 down in there and if there are why did

5:06 they cross the road very short jaunt the

5:13 answer most likely is to get to the

5:15 other side because there's other

5:26 inhabitable areas for them over here not

5:26 much of a distance a few feet

5:38 I don't know about you but I really want

5:38 to see a cow also crossing the road it

5:45 might happen based on this information

6:01 decided not to wander huh

6:01 better to chill by the lakeside makes

6:04 more sense safer too than hell the

6:08 street that's a lot of dunk folks are so

6:19 friendly around these parts it's a

6:22 couple of farmers down here in their

6:25 vehicles waving to passer buyers it's a

6:31 rather impressive beard you got there

6:33 sir hospitality from every direction

6:42 he's waving out his window and his wife

6:45 out the other side it's good to see you

6:47 ma'am there's a bullet hole in your the

6:51 back window however not too many leaves

6:54 on these trees

7:11 back servile it's kind of tough to make

7:11 out the wording there in the brick I'm a

7:14 near the roofline of this facade below

7:17 it however below the water tower that is

7:19 a couple little buildings here this one

7:24 can't tell if there was a mural on the

7:26 side or if it's just the old paint

7:28 fading through that door has certainly

7:31 seen better days oh yeah still has the

7:43 seats top part of the oven

7:48 look at that barrel the Pepsi challenge

7:52 that's a throwback I'm diggin the aqua

7:56 style blue coloration hue intent here

7:59 the side of these cinder blocks that

8:02 created this thing

8:20 traffic's pretty light

8:20 a section of the road is closed with the

8:28 big metal barricade

8:31 for vehicles so they can't cross it's a

8:35 little bit of a hike up here you can see

8:36 the pine needles of seeped into the main

8:40 part of the street over the years oh wow

8:55 few other people up here on this ledge

8:55 was not expecting this cavernous whoa

9:10 there's even people way down there

9:10 they've hiked down to the bottom oh my

9:13 gosh I don't want to get too close to

9:17 its no railing absolutely incredible

9:22 very windy

9:30 that is some view

9:40 there's the former road no wonder it's

9:40 blocked off to cars and trucks and

9:44 motorcycles your vehicle would take

9:47 quite the tumble off that side even

9:53 walking don't want to get still don't

9:56 want to get too close

10:13 not safe chunks of it right there on the

10:13 on the side of the incline that right

10:17 here that's pieces of the road nature is

10:22 a powerful thing

10:34 I just took a bite right out of the

10:34 earth

11:11 family over there in the woods taking

11:11 photos and selfies I'm enamoured by this

11:14 root system of the tree that's just

11:16 dangling fascinating stuff certainly one

11:28 way to reroute a thoroughfare some

11:31 repairs can be fixed and adjusted near a

11:34 bridge or to some technical skills could

11:40 make this drivable again but that that's

11:43 a whole other ballgame definitely I have

11:51 chosen a very windy path at the moment

11:57 lots of turns

12:00 and haven't passed anyone for five or

12:03 ten minutes no one's come the other

12:06 direction

12:08 I'm alone with my thoughts

12:36 stop to get a cup of coffee temporarily

12:36 out of lids at Cracker Barrel not the

12:48 establishment I thought it was kind of

12:49 he established 1914 the community of

12:55 booed this corner lot pretty unique

13:02 looking it was likely a store something

13:07 similar at one point

13:21 not too much happening in the downtown

13:21 section

13:36 some train cars run adjacent to those

13:36 tracks next to at the very end is the

13:40 old station and then just a couple miles

13:43 away is Roxy very easy to miss but

13:50 thankfully I didn't this is a hidden gem

14:02 the corner of West Boulevard and 3rd

14:02 Street is like a page out of small-town

14:05 history

14:21 aah hammock grocery and market coke

14:21 classic goodness available in bottles

14:31 the vintage signage could have been a

14:31 pizza place

14:31 it looked faintly on the window there is

14:34 a painting of won some pepperoni and

14:37 cheese and whatnot glass has been

14:43 shattered that circular metal emblem is

14:50 promoting the king size soda pop bottle

14:54 this is more or less a textbook location

14:57 for this video series I love it so much

15:02 this is exactly the type of stuff I'm

15:06 looking for a fitting into this episode

15:12 while I stand here at the mighty

15:15 Mississippi River another state has been

15:18 accomplished and tomorrow

15:23 is a new day as for now however the Sun
