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.
