0:04 What is this madness? Could it be ice
0:04 on a windshield
0:07 in Florida? Welcome everyone. Adam the
0:10 Woo here. Look at this. It's my second
0:13 channel, daily vlog channel. I love cool
0:16 weather. It's the daily woo.
0:19 I have a grand total of 414
0:22 miles to drive today.
0:23 Even though I am technically in Florida,
0:26 this is a very long state. It's just a
0:29 few days until Thanksgiving and I am in
0:32 route down to my parents house. My
0:35 sister will also be flying in to their
0:39 homestead tomorrow. So, I have to get
0:41 there tonight and I'm a little bit
0:44 behind schedule on this path. So, I have
0:46 a lot of ground to make up today.
0:51 This sign says no skateboarding
0:55 or rollerblading.
0:57 You think there's a big rollerblading
0:59 problem
1:01 at this rest stop? By the end of the
1:02 day, I need to end up right in this
1:06 region. Currently, I am way up here. And
1:11 I noticed according to this map, there's
1:14 a very unusual town name
1:18 off of the interstate named Two Egg.
1:22 Look at that. Two Egg, Florida.
1:25 I got to check this out, Doc.
1:27 Of course, this means a detour off the
1:29 interstate. So, the mileage I mentioned
1:32 at the beginning, it's going to be a
1:33 little more than that. There's
1:34 definitely something to be said about
1:37 the back roads, however. Got to love it.
1:41 This old timey church reminds me out of
1:44 something from Little House on the
1:45 Prairie.
1:46 Look at that. It does exist. It's a real
1:51 place. Two Egg, Florida. Not a lot in
1:54 this town, but the church marquee here
1:58 has something pretty insightful to say.
2:00 There wasn't a whole heck of a lot in
2:02 two egg.
2:04 In fact, nothing really. I didn't even
2:07 see one egg, let alone two. Those bales
2:11 of hay are wrapped in a very thick
2:14 plastic. I think they do that that way
2:17 the cows and horses that eat them can
2:19 pretend like they're opening a piece of
2:22 candy.
2:23 or or something. The thing that's cool
2:26 about back roads is that you see signs
2:29 like these tractor crossing. I bet at
2:32 one time this old gas station was
2:34 thriving.
2:36 This was probably the spot where
2:37 everyone filled up their car to cruise
2:39 around
2:40 on Saturday nights.
2:58 This might be my new favorite
2:58 advertising mascot. This is genius.
3:02 That That welcome mat is awesome. I'm
3:05 trying this for the first time. Bottled
3:08 Frappuccino.
3:10 Caffeine is good today.
3:11 I want to give that guy a high five.
3:19 Back on the interstate now. Get your
3:19 motor running. Head out on the highway
3:23 or in this case the interstate. Looking
3:26 for adventure and whatever comes my way.
3:31 Born to be wild.
3:48 Dwight D. Eisenhower
3:48 created this road system. Without him,
3:52 we'd always be taking the back roads,
3:54 which I really prefer way more than
3:56 this. But you can't get there in such
3:59 the quick amount of time. Oh, dang. I
4:01 already need gas again. I guess I was
4:04 being a little too wild.
4:15 Is that one of them there? Dopplers?
4:15 Yeah, I don't think it was. It just
4:17 looked like one. It was a Doppler
4:19 ganger. One thing Florida has is a heck
4:23 of a lot of trees.
4:25 More than you could shake a proverbial
4:28 stick at,
4:30 which is very interesting because a
4:32 stick is technically part of a tree. So
4:35 you would be shaking
4:38 some part of the trees region at it,
4:42 which would be very awkward for the
4:45 tree.
4:52 There's a little shack all falling down
4:52 over here.
4:54 Some sort of old truck stop. The old gas
4:56 pump remnants are still here as well.
4:59 And the former sign, the billboard,
5:03 at least the skeleton of it. There's a
5:05 toilet on that billboard. This is
5:06 something I have to credit my dad with.
5:09 You see the FedEx word in between the E
5:13 and the X on the end?
5:16 What's in the middle of those two
5:17 letters?
5:19 Once you see it, you'll never unsee it.
5:29 Yep, there's an arrow. It's nice to pull
5:29 over at these rest stops and stretch the
5:31 old legs.
5:34 One thing that's very interesting
5:35 though, rarely if ever do you see anyone
5:40 picnicking
5:42 at rest stops. Now don't get me wrong,
5:44 I'm sure it happens sometimes, but you
5:46 probably don't need to make a
5:48 reservation for one of these. There's
5:50 usually one available. Under that tent
5:53 right there are boiled peanuts. Oh yeah,
5:57 it's time. Look at these beautiful
6:00 creatures.
6:02 It's in a styrofoam cup and then they
6:05 put a bag inside of it. Now the bag is
6:08 like
6:09 foning itself over the rim of the cup.
6:13 It's a complete overflow of flavor.
6:18 Yes. I don't know what it is, but
6:21 there's just something about getting
6:22 these things off the side of the road
6:24 that makes them just a little bit better
6:26 than storebought. Look at that.
6:34 That's the way to travel, buddy. You got
6:34 the wind in your hair, the breeze in
6:37 your face, and the sun in your back.
6:41 Good times. 13 ft gator.
6:46 This sounds interesting.
6:47 There are some very creative ways
6:50 to decorate a coconut.
6:52 That's what that is, right? That's a
6:54 coconut, isn't it?
6:55 Oh, no. Oh, I think we've been
6:57 hornswaggled.
6:59 It's not a real live gator. It's like a
7:02 fake stuffed gator. Okay, I stand
7:04 moderately halfway corrected. This used
7:07 to be a real alive gator and now it's
7:11 stuffed, but it's 13 ft long. And inside
7:14 this aquarium are some little teeny tiny
7:17 baby gators. And there's also a
7:19 gargantuan shark in here. I'm going to
7:21 go out on a limb and say that shark was
7:24 never a real live shark. He's either
7:26 about to chomp into something or he's
7:28 singing a song. And there is an
7:31 incredible assortment of poop.
7:34 Everything from pelican to turtle to
7:36 dolphin to sharks and even gator dung. I
7:40 have to be completely honest with you. I
7:43 ate too many of those boiled peanuts and
7:45 there's so much sodium in them. I got
7:47 really dehydrated.
7:49 I need this. Yes, I need some
7:50 electrolytes. I didn't even finish the
7:51 bag. I only ate about probably 2/3 of
7:54 it. Still though,
7:57 almost regurgitated.
8:11 Looks like I might be hitting the first
8:11 bit of slowm moving traffic of the day.
8:15 One thing's for sure, the roads have
8:16 been pretty good in that aspect. Just a
8:18 little fender bender. It's slow moving,
8:21 but it's still not too bad. I wonder if
8:24 this is because of the holiday coming
8:26 up. A lot of people are heading south
8:29 for family time.
8:32 Yep. I think that might have been the
8:34 culprit.
8:42 There's a lot of accidents on this road
8:42 today.
8:44 It's like the third or fourth one within
8:46 a few miles.
8:55 Well, I spoke too soon. There's another
8:55 one. Make that four.
8:59 All within the stretch of a couple
9:01 miles. Oh jeez.
9:04 Yeah, that's not good. Note to self,
9:08 the week of a holiday. Do not drive on
9:12 I75.
9:14 Headed to the turnpike.
9:16 half mile away.
9:17 Named after President Reagan. Well, I
9:21 have to pay a toll.
9:24 The thing about these rental cars, these
9:26 tiny vehicles don't hold a lot of gas,
9:29 so you have to fill up a lot.
9:31 Oh my gosh, look at all these cats in
9:32 the road. What are you doing, kitties?
9:36 What are you doing? There it goes. Whoa,
9:39 I go too far. Here it is.
9:49 Ah, nice clean windshield.
9:49 Now you can really see that sunset.
9:53 Oh yeah, look how beautiful that sunset
9:56 is with a nice sparkling clean
10:00 windshield. Compliments of the Florida
10:03 Turnpike. The sun lowering over the
10:06 horizon would definitely
10:08 be a little tad bit
10:12 more epic if the rear view mirror, side
10:16 mirror would have been cleaned off, too.
10:20 I failed. I failed me for the last time.
10:27 Vlog over.
