welcome everyone Adam he the woo here
0:04
out for a stroll just so happen to be
0:07
crossing the Indiana State Line the
0:11
crossroads of America and heading
0:14
directly
0:25
into guess who's back back again it's
0:25
Large Marge she's your friend it's my
0:28
second channel daily Vlog Channel it's
0:31
the
0:39
daily I got to admit it feels pretty
0:39
dang good to be behind the wheel again
0:41
the open road nice crisp clean air and
0:45
very little traffic y pretty much no
0:48
traffic he's never been really one to
0:50
express his feelings properly but I'm
0:53
pretty sure this guy he missed me just
0:57
say it pck the foot just say it
1:08
when I just heard the news today a
1:08
certain
1:09
RV is back on the road the road to
1:14
Milford through the Corn Belt I show you
1:20
everything With Arms Wide
1:23
Open good to see you too cre and this is
1:26
what I'm talking about Americana at its
1:29
final that old school Bud Light sign
1:32
that's pretty much from the Spuds
1:34
McKenzie era that's awesome it's not
1:38
every day that you see a German rocket
1:41
from World War II in Illinois but today
1:46
is one of those days it's been repainted
1:48
obviously since its creation I was doing
1:51
a little reading about the subject it
1:53
was stolen and found in Texas but they
1:56
got it back and now it's back here on
1:59
that P dedicated to Rodney F Reeves for
2:03
his labors in retrieving and restoring
2:06
this buzz bomb to its original place in
2:10
our community and from my point of view
2:14
I think this is pretty rare I've never
2:15
seen one of these in a little downtown
2:18
area if I have I certainly certainly
2:21
don't remember it it's funny to think
2:23
that just a couple days ago I was
2:24
sitting in rush hour traffic in an Uber
2:27
on the way to the airport and and
2:30
now this soybean on one side corn on the
2:35
other I'm told by locals around here
2:37
that that's the way they do the crops
2:39
and they switch it off every crop season
2:42
corn on one side soybean on the other
2:45
and they flip-flop it something to do
2:47
with the soil makes it grow better now
2:49
that's pretty cool looking I've never
2:51
seen a tire vehicle like that tire
2:54
truck I like that especially the
2:57
graphics painted on the side like 1970
3:00
style remember when I was telling you
3:02
about those beehive shaped
3:04
houses well there's one right there
3:07
except I think that's just used for
3:09
storage but it's beehive shaped rusted
3:12
out gas pump that's pretty cool there's
3:15
a couple of them with the ker McGee logo
3:18
still prominently displayed on the very
3:21
front this old vintage gas station a
3:25
relic of the past I do love old signage
3:28
I think that's a beer company
3:30
heilman's old style and around the
3:33
corner is yet
3:35
another pretty fantastic one Bush head
3:40
to the mountains of Bush
3:44
beer wasn't that the advertising
3:46
campaign check this
3:49
out super old school playground
3:53
equipment is that a skunk that's a skunk
3:57
with a
3:58
tie looking so Dapper Mr what kind of
4:02
animal what kind of animal is this I'm
4:06
not even 100% sure what that is and
4:09
here's a teeter totter with two HSE
4:12
heads on it that hurts the oh the nether
4:15
region area a little bit I'm too
4:17
big what the heck someone has inscribed
4:22
lettering three 3ks down in the
4:26
concrete that's not that's definitely
4:28
not very very nice
4:49
the cafe appears to be gone but look at
4:49
that fantastic neon sign that still
4:53
remains man love it on this very spot in
4:58
1887 used to sit train tracks and
5:03
precisely at midnight on the night of
5:07
August 10th into the 11th was one of the
5:11
worst wrecks in American rail history
5:16
and as a sort of kind of coincidence
5:18
really unintentionally planned the dates
5:21
match up hopefully you can follow along
5:23
with this logic I document my Journeys
5:26
throughout the day edit the footage all
5:28
together in a nice little neat Vlog
5:30
package uploaded on YouTube make it live
5:33
the next morning after being privated
5:35
throughout the evening which means when
5:38
you are currently watching this right
5:40
now on August 10th which happens to be
5:43
my birthday is also the
5:47
anniversary of this
5:54
wreck traveling from Peoria to Niagara
5:54
Falls it struck a burning Culvert and of
5:58
the 500 passengers ERS 85 perished and
6:03
20 wooden coaches were burned and they
6:07
dedicated this sign in
6:10
1954 as a
6:12
memorial to that day
6:15
supposedly according to the
6:18
interwebs there is something up here in
6:22
field could be in the corn could be oh I

9:21
very high volume probably questioning my
