Welcome everyone. I'm in Florida today
0:23
right here off a main thoroughare a US
0:26
highway. It splits two ways. And in the
0:29
middle of the splitting area lies this
0:32
wooded region. Right past this gate and
0:35
around through here lies something
0:38
unfinished and fantastic. So join me as
0:41
I go back in the wooded area and battle
0:43
some spiders, some fire ants, hopefully
0:47
no ticks. Join me, shall you?
1:00
Look at this. What's up,
1:00
buddy? This guy wants to eat my face
1:02
off. All that traffic has no earthly
1:05
clue that all this is back here. All
1:08
they see is
1:09
woods. Woods and weeds. That's a pretty
1:14
fantastic tree formation. That's pretty
1:17
cool. I love some nature. In this huge
1:21
wooded area, there's a secret path. And
1:24
what lies down that secret path? That's
1:26
right, you guessed it. A gargantuan
1:29
concrete high
1:48
This was actually a proposed cross
1:50
Florida Canal bridge right here in
1:53
Santos, Florida. That's the pie symbol
1:56
there. The cars would have gone over
1:57
those. They never finished it. It never
1:59
happened. But they're still sitting here
2:02
rotting away. Look at this. The canal
2:04
was going to go right through Florida.
2:06
That never happened, of course. And look
2:09
at the size of this ship. That ship is
2:12
gargantuan. It's like a barge. Almost
2:14
the size of the girth and width of
2:17
Florida. That's a massive barge right
2:19
there. You want to fight with me,
2:21
spider? You want to fight with
2:24
me? Oh, man. How you doing? If you look
2:29
towards the sky and you come straight
2:31
down, you'll see some sort of writing
2:32
here on the side of this huge concrete
2:35
structure. I don't think it's graffiti.
2:37
I think it's actually put on there from
2:39
when they were building it. Any idea
2:41
what that might mean? Any idea what the
2:43
A, the upside down L, and the P stand
2:52
for? Out here in these woods, there's
2:52
lots of thorns. Check out this
2:53
thistlelike
2:56
stick. You could use this as a
2:59
weapon of some sort. Imagine just
3:01
jabbing. Oh man. Don't want to hit that
3:04
in the old face. Imagine jabbing that
3:07
upside the cranium.
3:10
I got to use my tripod to ward off the
3:12
spiderw webs. A lot of spiders out here.
3:14
Spiderw webs. A lot of other remnants of
3:16
this proposed Florida canal plan. They
3:20
must have had some sort of building
3:22
here. Cinder blocks and whatnot. Here's
3:26
some sort of aluminum can. Probably a
3:29
can of beans. What the I don't know what
3:31
this is, but that's interesting. It
3:34
looks like a mop. Ooh, it almost looks
3:36
like spaghetti.
3:38
It looks like a weird spaghetti or a mop
3:42
head that's combusted. Weird. More cans
3:47
of food here. Who knows what those were?
3:50
What they were eating. Get back, spiderw
3:53
webs. Get back, spiderw webs. Look at
3:56
this rusted old can here. Definitely uh
3:59
definitely old. I think I've actually
4:02
lost my
4:03
sunglasses. They were dangling from my
4:05
pocket and they're somewhere around
4:07
here. I think I've actually lost my
4:09
sunglasses,
4:10
everyone. Wonder if that guy's seen my
4:12
sunglasses. Oh, wait a second. Oh, I
4:14
found them. They're over here next to
4:16
the spaghetti pile. There they are. I
4:19
need to go through there. And I have
4:21
shorts on. Not the smartest. Not the
4:24
smartest choice today, but here we go.
4:27
Oh
4:29
man. Should just drove my van up in
4:31
here. Bulldoz this down a team
4:34
style. What the heck is on my leg? I've
4:36
been attacked by
4:38
foliage. It's a half stick right
4:41
there. That's some sort of weird symbol
4:44
or something. Very bizarre. It's like a
4:47
wishing
4:48
stick jabbed in the ground. Very
4:51
strange. Oh, we got some ants. Woo! Ant
4:55
bed. Oh
4:57
man. Nature at its finest,
5:00
everyone. A This one's pretty
5:03
cool. I love it. No graffiti, no
5:07
nothing. It's a big slab of concrete
5:09
history right here in the middle of
5:11
Florida. Look at that thing. Oh, there's
5:13
a spider on my hand. What's another
5:16
spider there? Look at this. Holy cow.
5:19
These things are everywhere out here. It
5:22
seems like every one of these concrete
5:23
structures is guarded by one of these
5:27
guys. One of those
5:30
guys. Oh man, I'm dangling some spiderw
5:33
webs. Spiderw webs right here. That's
5:34
pretty cool. Look how the trees have
5:36
winded up the side of that concrete
5:38
structure. It's pretty awesome there.
5:40
Cars over there. That guy in that truck.
5:43
They don't even know I'm here. Hey, I'm
5:44
over here. Everyone, I'm over here. Hey,
5:48
I'm in the
5:49
woods. They don't even know I'm here.
5:51
They don't even know I'm here. They have
5:53
no clue I'm even out here. They probably
5:55
have no clue this is here. This thing
5:58
could be given the middle finger and
5:59
they wouldn't even know. Check out all
6:00
that fantastic moss growing up the side
6:03
of this thing.
6:05
Awesome. Some sort of a motor of some
6:08
sort. Either somebody had a car that
6:09
broke down out here or this is a
6:12
lawnmower motor. What kind of engine is
6:14
that? Anybody know what kind of engine
6:15
that might be? Leave a comment below.
6:18
Let me
6:24
know. This ground is so mushy right
6:24
here. I just tried to walk through. It's
6:25
like quicksand. Look at my foot just
6:27
sinking
6:28
in. Crazy. Looks like someone got lost
6:31
out here. Here's the bottom of their
6:32
shoe.
6:33
They've lost their
6:35
soul. They've lost their
6:46
soul. Check out this cool branch that's
6:46
forked its way up all the way to the
6:48
top. It's pretty awesome. That's forking
6:52
awesome.
7:07
Why do I all of a sudden feel like
7:07
Indiana Jones right
7:19
now? Oh, yep. There's another
7:19
one. And another
7:21
one. They're everywhere out here.
7:23
Luckily, I got my tripod. I just keep
7:26
flailing it around like a lunatic. Check
7:28
out all this
7:31
moss. Just sitting here corroding in
7:33
moss. Look at this. You can almost climb
7:36
this. If I wasn't obese, I would give it
7:39
a
7:40
try. Something just hit my
7:42
hand. Flaking bark or bugs. I'm going to
7:46
hope it was flaking bark. Something just
7:48
hit my arm right there.
7:55
I hope you've enjoyed this walk through
7:55
the Florida woods right here off US27
7:58
next to Santos, Florida. You can Google
8:01
it and if you're ever cruising by, pull
8:03
over the side of the road and walk
8:05
through the wilderness and see these
8:07
cool moss ridden
8:09
structures. Oh yeah, one more thing. If
8:12
you get a chance, go over to my second
8:14

8:16
Woo channel. It's a channel I started a

couple months ago and I put up daily
8:20
videos on there of my travels. And as
8:23
you should know, as of right now, I've
8:26
just left on the road again. I'll be on
8:27
the road a couple months filming crazy
8:29
stuff like this, abandoned places,
8:30
roadside attractions, and whatnot for
8:32
this channel, my main channel, the Adam
8:34

8:36
