Don't mind if I do. Welcome everyone.
0:10
Adam the Woo here. Sometimes I stay
0:13
centralized in an area and other times I
0:16
like to drive away. Today is the second
0:20
part of that equation that I just
0:22
mentioned. It's my second channel, daily
0:24
vlog channel. It's
0:32
the day I depart Texas. I've been here
0:32
40 days. That's a heck of a long time.
0:35
And now I'm moving on.
0:43
Oh, that's so good. It's the daily. The
0:43
path I have chosen is Interstate 30,
0:46
about 140 miles to the state line. I
0:49
should preface that by saying I'm on the
0:51
access road next to the interstate, not
0:53
technically on the interstate the whole
0:56
way. And this guy, he has the same idea.
1:07
Even the little wheelbarrow cart there
1:07
is painted like the Texas flag. I was
1:09
noticing here on the side of the road
1:12
these rocks that were obviously brought
1:15
in and placed here for a reason. In
1:19
fact, farther off there on the hill,
1:21
there's even more of the rocks. I'm
1:24
guessing someone bought this property
1:26
and at one point was going to build a
1:28
home or a business and it just never
1:29
happened. So, they got the rock work
1:31
laid down, but nothing else.
1:36
Pulling into a town by the name of
1:38
Sulfur Springs. I'm not 100% sure, but I
1:40
think we're going to have a Marty McFly
1:42
walking into Hill Valley vibe as we turn
1:45
this corner. And yep, I was I was pretty
1:48
much correct. Some of my favorite places
1:50
to visit are these little town squares
1:52
like this. I have an affinity for old
1:54
church signs and neon signs. It's rare
1:58
when you see the two of those things
2:00
combined. That is cool. You see a lot of
2:03
this in this state on the front of the
2:05
doors where they are telling you no
2:08
handguns allowed in church. That guy in
2:11
that car was just blasting smashing
2:13
pumpkins. kind of made me laugh. And
2:16
while I'm sure the focal point for most
2:18
people is this amazing courthouse, I
2:20
want to show you something super bizarre
2:24
next to it. Actually, there's two of
2:25
them. One here and one here. There is a
2:29
toilet, a sink, paper towels, and look
2:34
outside can be seen.
2:37
Everyone walking by, hanging out in the
2:41
courtyard.
2:43
This is super weird. Think of all the
2:47
strange voyuristic crap that's happened
2:50
in here. See what I did there? Crap. And
2:53
while it is kind of a cool idea. How do
2:55
I get out of here? It is It is a little
2:59
too strange for my taste. There was a
3:02
very tiny part of me that wanted to use
3:03
the restroom in there, but someone
3:05
urinated all over the seat. No thanks.
3:07
Okay, they got me. Why is this not your
3:09
average ATM? What's different about it?
3:11
Seriously, this person has a wishing
3:13
well in their yard.
3:20
I do like taking these side roads. Even
3:20
though they run exactly parallel
3:24
to interstates,
3:26
a little bit slower pace. And if you see
3:27
anything interesting on the side of the
3:29
road, you can easily pull over. Like
3:31
this old gas station, all overgrown, but
3:34
the gas pumps are still there,
3:37
as well as the building. Wonder how many
3:39
years that's been closed. Relics of the
3:42
past
3:44
just rotting away under the Texas sky.
3:47
It's very overcast and cloudy today.
3:51
Hopefully it doesn't rain, but it looks
3:52
like it might. What do you guys think?
3:55
What's your prediction on the weather?
3:58
Few showers in the near future.
4:02
Yeah, maybe. I don't. Could be. All
4:05
right. See you.
4:07
What about you? What do you think? Rain
4:10
or no rain? I know you're not a
4:13
meteorologist.
4:15
You, by the way, you know Pat Sjack used
4:17
to be a meteorologist before Wheel of
4:20
Fortune. There could be big things in
4:22
your future. All right, keep grazing.
4:25
Talk to you later. I wonder what's
4:28
really going through the animals mind as
4:31
I'm speaking to them.
4:35
Or maybe they understand me. Maybe
4:36
they're maybe they're answering me in
4:38
their own way.
4:40
Even though I probably don't want to
4:41
know their answer, there's probably some
4:42
four-letter words involved. That is a
4:45
big flag. Look at it compared to the
4:48
size of the house below it. Going
4:50
through a town called Mount Pleasant
4:51
now. Oh, check out the name of that
4:53
place. Lonear. Loan title loans. I see
4:57
what they did there. Oh, check it out.
4:59
Dr. Pepper. Clearly, I do not know how
5:01
to talk even though it did kind of make
5:03
sense. Dr. Pep art. It was art. Dr.
5:06
Pepper art.
5:08
It works. What I like about this place,
5:10
they have furniture for everybody. Some
5:13
old classic cars there behind the fence
5:17
all lined up being displayed.
5:20
Couple tractors, too. Wait, does that
5:23
vehicle belong to Doc Brown? That's it.
5:26
They found me. I don't know how, but
5:28
they found me. I'm a traveling man. I've
5:32
been a lot of towns all over the world
5:36
and it seems like lately all I'm seeing
5:39
are a bunch of cows is staring at me.
5:42
This is downtown Decal.
5:45
A very tiny town
5:48
made famous by the death of one of the
5:51
most popular singers in history
5:54
who died in a plane crash here on New
5:58
Year's Eve 1985. And inside this house
6:01
is a museum with an artifact from that
6:04
tragic event. The building's gone, but
6:07
you have the sign left. Yeah. From the
6:08
train station. And we've got a sign on
6:10
part of the house also. And here's uh I
6:14
believe these were pictures of the old
6:16
depot right here. Wow. This is the back
6:20
end of the airplane.
6:22
So, where was the actual crash in town?
6:24
Do you know where the location? A mile
6:26
and a half south. Just run out. uh out
6:30
in the field. Yeah. Yeah. They tried to
6:35
apparently, according to the witnesses,
6:37
he he tried to land on a on a highway
6:40
out there, but couldn't couldn't do it
6:43
and they couldn't get to an airport. The
6:45
NTSB took it to
6:48
Dallas, all the wreckage, and then uh
6:51
according to what we
6:53
were told,
6:55
the uh pilot rec um requested that part
6:59
of the plane be brought back here.
7:05
It's pretty incredible though that it's
7:05
still part of it remains. Yeah. Yeah.
7:09
One of Ricky Nelson's sons has been
7:11
here,
7:12
his youngest son. the others have not,
7:15
but uh some of the band members families
7:19
have been here. Total of seven people
7:24
and this newspaper was published about a
7:26
week after the event that burned all the
7:29
way back to the tail.
7:31
Wow.
7:38
I'm fascinated by this little these
7:38
little blue and gold stripes. Yeah. That
7:41
are seen definitely seen in the picture.
7:44
of the plane when it was, you know, when
7:47
it was crashed right there.
7:50
It's wild. Come here for that particular
7:53
purpose. Oh, yeah. He was I mean, he was
7:55
a huge singer. Oh, yeah. He had a lot of
7:57
hits. Almost as big as Elvis actor also.
8:00
Oh, wow. So, that that the actor that
8:03
played Hoskart, right? Dan Blocker,
8:05
that's his childhood high chair.
8:07
Childhood high chair. And he lived here.
8:09
Yeah. For not very long, but he he was
8:12
born here. And then they moved when he
8:14
was about three years old, I believe.
8:16
But he's buried here. He's He was
8:18
brought back here and buried. Here's his
8:19
school picture. Oh, yeah. 1939 to 1940.
8:23
O'Donnell. That's out in the Texas
8:25
panhandle. Oh, that's in Texas. That's
8:27
the panhandle. Uhhuh. That's where they
8:29
moved to. They moved there when he was
8:31
very young. And that's him in Bonanza. I
8:34
like that stand up of him, though. He's
8:36
kind of intimidating there. Normally,
8:38
he's like always a nice guy on the show,
8:39
but he looks kind of mean. Kind of mean
8:41
there. meet up with him in the dark with
8:43
that way he's looking right there. No.
8:44
Yeah, definitely has a quite the grimace
8:46
on his face. Even an article in this
8:49
magazine. I wonder what magazine this is
8:52
that says TV show, but I wonder which
8:54
one here. That was that was published on
8:58
Oh, it's the same one. TV show. Yeah.
9:01
There you go. Well, it's the same uh
9:03
it's the same magazine, isn't it? Same
9:05
exact one. Neat to have. That is that's
9:07
he wrote his name on top. Mhm. As well.
9:10
That was from the episode The Rescue
9:12
written by Steve McNeel. First draft
9:14
November 21st, 1960. Oh, there it is
9:17
right there. He wrote a song called
9:18
Decal Blues. Oh yeah. Yeah. Lead Belly.
9:22
And check this out. This is pretty
9:23
interesting, too. Elvis Elvis performed
9:25
came here before he was ever in the high
9:27
school here in town. Yeah. Now, my wife
9:29
likes to tell the story. The what? The
9:31
Lions Club sponsored it. They got 75
9:34
cents and Elvis got a quarter of the
9:36
admission price.
9:38
He didn't retire exchanged for him, did
9:40
he? He didn't retire off that income. We
9:42
had a tornado here in 1999
9:45
and it destroyed a block of the town and
9:50
they salvaged two pieces of the post
9:52
office. The people who run the museum
9:54
only open it about one day a week,
9:56
sometimes not even that much. They were
9:58
very kind, very lucky that the day I
10:01
arrived, they happened to be there.
10:04
Pretty cool. And I'm glad I stopped off
10:06
in there because I had no idea that Hos
10:09
Cartwright was born here. And here at
10:12
the Woodman Cemetery
10:14
is his final resting place. Even though
10:16
he died in Los Angeles,
10:18
the body was transported here and laid
10:21
to rest next to some other family
10:24
members.
10:31
There's his headstone
10:31
located in the family
10:33
plot next to Aura
10:36
Mary
10:38
and Aura Virginia
10:41
is Dan Blocker
10:58
Such a great show, such a great
10:58
character.
11:01
He passed away 2 years before I was even
11:03
born, but it's interesting to note that
11:07
he was only one year older than I am now
11:11
when he died.
11:14
Crazy to think about. There were some
11:16
complications and blockage after a
11:19
gallbladder surgery
11:22
that led to his passing.
11:26
So young. There's a band I really like
11:28
named Lag Wagon. They titled one of
11:31
their albums Hos and they used the image
11:34
of him from Bonanza as the cover of that
11:37
CD. It's actually my favorite CD by
11:40
them. Pretty good album. It's also
11:42
interesting to note that his passing
11:44
happened while Bonanza was still on the
11:46
air, but it only lasted one more season
11:49
without a weird water tower or a Doppler
11:54
system. You decide. One thing I strive
11:56
to do in life, not only for myself, but
11:59
for those viewing these daily vlogs, is
12:03
not to be predictable,
12:05
not to stay to a particular formula. And
12:09
that is why I am now leaving Texas and
12:13
arriving in Arkansas.
