TDW 1111 - Abandoned Classic Cars of Route 66

0:03 Welcome everyone out of the Woo here.

0:03 Happy Friday, July 17th, 2015. I am in

0:07 the middle of the desert. The sun is

0:09 just now rising. It is very early and I

0:12 am on a road, the mother road known as

0:17 Route 66. that fantastic road that used

0:21 to be very very thriving to the general

0:24 population, but after the interstate

0:27 came in, it kind of started to dwindle a

0:30 little bit. And thankfully, because of

0:32 people like me and kindred spirit folk

0:35 like you who are interested in the very

0:37 unusual, the kooky and crazy and unusual

0:43 roadside attractions,

0:45 Route 66 is still in existence. And you

0:48 can hear a train off in the distance

0:51 right behind these abandoned houses.

0:56 Abandonments of Route 66. And we're

1:00 going to get our kicks and Route 66.

1:06 I figured I'd show you guys some

1:08 abandoned buildings and abandoned

1:17 vehicles and abandoned newspaper down

1:17 there.

1:40 It's my second channel, daily blog

1:40 channel, and it's very echoey. Not

1:43 echoey, but the sound bounces off of

1:46 these walls. So, when I did the intro,

1:48 it sounded like someone else was yelling

1:50 at me, but I was really just yelling at

1:52 myself here on the daily.

1:55 Woo!

2:02 Today is Friday, like I was mentioning.

2:02 Look at this over here. Look at that

2:04 little abandoned

2:08 shack in the back with these rusted out

2:19 foned with rust

2:19 these barrels. Look at these barrels.

2:22 Metal.

2:24 And is that a stove right down there?

2:32 Yeah, Route 66 is full of all kind of

2:32 good things. Most of the things I love

2:34 about Route 66 are all the oldtimey

2:38 stores, unique gifts that you can get,

2:41 touristy souvenirs, and weird wacky

2:44 things that you find along the Mother

2:47 Road. Which is interesting, too, because

2:49 I'm actually traveling with my mother,

2:51 who is actually still sleeping at the

2:53 moment. We are actually on our way. We

2:55 are only a few minutes from the Canyon

2:58 of Grandness. She is visiting from

3:02 Florida. She came to visit me in

3:04 California and she said, "I would really

3:06 like to see the Grand Canyon." So, we

3:08 drove all the way out here. We are now

3:11 in Arizona. She is getting ready at the

3:15 hotel and we are actually going to be

3:18 venturing today to the Grand Canyon and

3:21 then be returning back to California

3:25 tomorrow. Just having a good time so

3:28 far. I've been keeping her very busy.

3:30 Last night we filmed a lot of stuff

3:32 yesterday. I filmed a lot of stuff

3:33 yesterday and she was in my main new

3:36 main channel video that I have upcoming

3:38 and she said, "I need to go take a

3:40 break. You finished filming." So, I

3:42 stayed up pretty late last night filming

3:44 a main channel video that I will be

3:47 uploading hopefully probably when I

3:48 return to California in a couple of days

3:51 on the Adam the Woo channel. But I

3:53 wanted to show you some of these

3:55 abandoned areas of Route 66

3:59 here on this unedited channel, the Daily

4:02 Woo channel. I think this used to be

4:04 some sort of a gas station of some sort.

4:07 You can see where the gas pumps used to

4:10 be right here.

4:19 The gas pumps of course have been long

4:19 long removed and now there's some kind

4:21 of wooden barrels down here.

4:37 This old car here. A lot of old vehicles

4:37 you just find sitting out in the desert.

4:39 This is a old timey one. What kind of a

4:41 car is this? A Dodson.

4:44 That's definitely an old timey relic.

4:52 And you got to wonder what these were

4:52 back in their heyday. This was probably

4:53 some sort of a general store or maybe

4:56 like a barber shop or some sort of

5:00 I don't know. What do you guys think

5:01 this could have been?

5:03 What could this little area have been in

5:07 that building in particular?

5:09 What do you think that might have been?

5:16 Drinking a Mountain Dew today. I don't

5:16 drink as much soda as I used to, but I

5:19 do have a cooler full of Mountain Dew

5:22 and a lot of waters that we have been

5:24 consuming on our trip out into the

5:26 desert. It's not very humid here, but it

5:29 is very dry. They say it's a dry heat

5:32 and that is true because you can taste

5:35 in your mouth. You can taste the dirt

5:37 and the dustiness

5:39 out here in the desert. And look at

5:41 this.

5:49 This old truck. I showed some of this on

5:49 Periscope late last night,

5:53 but I thought, heck it, why not go back

5:55 and reminisce a little bit through the

5:57 beauty of this the daily woo vlog. I

6:00 could show you guys a little bit more of

6:02 the surroundings. Make sure you go over

6:05 and add me on Periscope. Adam the on

6:08 Periscope. I do live feeds all the time

6:11 on Periscope.

6:13 All kind of weird, wacky things,

6:16 insights into my life. Look at this.

6:25 See that speedometer right there?

6:25 There's a parked train.

6:32 right over in the distance there. So,

6:32 how are you guys doing today? What is on

6:34 the agenda

6:36 for you this weekend? Now, I know a lot

6:38 of people know I am a huge fan of

6:41 Disneyland and Walt Disney in general.

6:44 And today is a historic day for

6:46 Disneyland history. Today is the opening

6:49 of Disneyland 60 years ago. So, if you

6:53 think about that, I need to switch hands

6:57 because you're getting very heavy

6:59 holding you in that arm. So, I need to

7:02 switch arms. Today is the 60th

7:05 anniversary of Disneyland. So, I'm sure

7:08 a lot of my friends,

7:10 kindred spirits across

7:14 not only the world, probably the world

7:17 are watching and tuning in to a lot of

7:18 people that are vlogging, periscoping,

7:22 posting pictures on Twitter, Instagram,

7:24 Facebook from the park. But I, alas,

7:28 will not be at Disneyland today. I will

7:30 actually be at the Grand Canyon a little

7:32 bit later. I do not know how the

7:34 reception is going to be out there.

7:36 probably not very good. So, I said to

7:38 myself, heck it. Let's get the vlog done

7:42 early

7:44 here at the Sun Rising Festivities

7:48 here on Route 66. get the vlog out of

7:52 the way because I did not want the fact

7:54 that there's probably not going to be

7:55 internet and cell phone data signal on

7:59 my phone out at the Grand Canyon to

8:02 hinder the fact that I am bringing

8:04 myself into your life today and every

8:07 day. I well past 1,100

8:11 days in a row without actually missing

8:14 without actually missing. I'm trying

8:16 having a hard time. Look at this. Having

8:17 a very hard time holding this holding

8:20 this Mountain Dew. I should just finish

8:22 it. You see that little sweet maneuver I

8:24 just did right there.

8:27 I should probably finish this and find a

8:29 trash can to discard

8:32 of this trash can. Now,

8:35 I want to show you something over here.

8:37 Show you something back in here that I

8:39 discovered.

8:42 There are some old cars.

8:45 some really old cars back in here. But

8:49 first, I'm going to head to this

8:50 dumpster

8:52 and uh drink this

8:55 and toss away the remnants. Put this in

8:57 here.

9:07 Check out this old wagon.

9:07 Rock me mama like a wagon wheel. Rock me

9:11 mama any way you feel. Ooh,

9:15 mama rock me. That's a song about a

9:18 wagon wheel that became very popular a

9:20 few years ago. And I saw a wagon and it

9:23 had a wheel. So, I decided to break into

9:26 that song. But I think the thing that

9:28 you might find interesting are these old

9:30 car relics all over in here.

9:34 Look at this. This is like a some sort

9:37 of a trailer that was created out of the

9:40 back of a truck.

9:43 And that's definitely an old timey

9:44 vintage classic car bed, classic truck

9:48 bed. All through here, you can see, look

9:51 at this old like junkyard area full of

9:53 stuff. This old piece of machinery.

9:56 There's an old truck. Look at this.

9:58 There's an old truck.

10:02 I do not want to step on a snake. But

10:04 look at this.

10:18 That is cool. Look at this. Is the front

10:18 part of a truck. And there are

10:21 droughtresistant plants

10:24 growing up through the hood. And look at

10:26 this. An engine.

10:32 Watching out for snakes. I do not want

10:32 to step on a rattlesnake out here in the

10:34 desert. That would not be good.

10:46 All kind of neat stuff along Route 66.

10:46 What is this?

10:48 What kind of machinery is this here?

10:57 Some kind of a steamroller

10:57 of some sort. What is that? That's not a

10:59 steamroller, but what is that?

11:02 And look at this car. Oh my gosh.

11:06 Look at this.

11:30 As you can see, the sun just starting to

11:30 come over the horizon, this desertous

11:33 horizon.

11:41 One last thing I want to show you over

11:42 here

11:43 is this old bug punch buggy straight

11:47 ahead

11:49 in this old classic car.

12:06 You can see all the tumble weeds and

12:06 grass all growing inside of there. Just

12:09 look at that. That is awesome.

12:46 If anyone knows the year, make, and

12:46 model of any of these cars, feel free to

12:49 leave a timestamp. Like right now, it's

12:51 12 minutes and 52 seconds. So, in the

12:54 comment section down below, write 12

12:56 minutes and 57 seconds. blue car and

13:00 type what it is that you think the year

13:03 and the model number is as well as this

13:05 car as well as this car as well as that

13:10 vehicle as well as the car that is over

13:13 there. We could have some fun. You can

13:15 share some information with me. I am not

13:18 a self-proclaimed afficionado of cars,

13:21 but maybe you guys know more about

13:23 vehicles than I do. Like you guys would

13:25 know what these type of vehicles are as

13:28 opposed to I like what exactly what is

13:31 the exact year? If you know anything

13:33 about what exact year this is this car

13:38 here this

13:40 this this

13:42 trying to get a screenshot. Yes. This is

13:44 a gratuitous screenshot. This will be
