back in Virginia. Current gas price on
0:13
the state line, $23
0:19
a gallon.
0:19
Not bad. Brain teasers.
0:21
Three differences in the images below.
0:23
Three Three differences in the images
0:25
below. Do you see them?
0:28
Did you find them all?
0:30
Oh, now I do. Now that they circled
0:33
them. Who knew you could have so much
0:34
fun pumping gas? Welcome everyone. Adam
0:37
the Woo here. Last night was not the
0:39
most enjoyable evening of my life. In
0:41
fact, completely the polar opposite. I
0:43
came down with a very extreme stomach
0:45
virus, a stomach bug. Lasted from about
0:47
7:30, 8:00 p.m. last night till about
0:50
4:35 p.m. this morning. I don't know
0:52
where it came from. It came out of
0:53
nowhere. And not to get into great
0:56
details, but it feels like I have done
0:59
5,000 sit-ups and crunches. My stomach
1:02
feels like that, if you know what I'm
1:04
talking about. And I got so dehydrated
1:07
that when I would drink, like I would I
1:09
couldn't take a swig. I had to just do
1:12
this.
1:14
Just let it touch the lips.
1:17
And just that little tidbit of water
1:20
would come back to haunt me about 3
1:22
minutes later. It's my second channel,
1:25
daily vlog channel. It's so good that
1:28
that has passed and I'm able to hydrate
1:30
myself correctly.
1:33
Oh, and that's so good.
1:44
It's nice to be able to drink some water
1:44
and not be punished for it. It's the
1:46
daily woo. Just cruising the back roads,
1:49
taking some of the smaller highways
1:51
today. That's the game plan anyway.
1:54
Beautiful countryside. Pulled over into
1:57
this very small town. And according to
1:59
the banner, it's established in 1884.
2:05
And take a look at the first national
2:05
bank.
2:08
I don't think it's used as a bank
2:09
anymore, but the building still remains.
2:12
The Star movie theater at Old Marquee,
2:15
80 or 90 years old. The guy was telling
2:18
me there across the street. They're now
2:19
using it as a church building. We're
2:22
going up into the mountains, straight up
2:25
into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Right
2:27
here along this rock railing are couples
2:30
who have inscribe their undying love. KT
2:33
loves JB.
2:35
Daniel loves Camila. JT plus DT. Someone
2:41
has drawn a flower. And they are keeping
2:43
up with the tradition of lovers leap.
2:47
Hopefully they did not take the plunge.
2:51
But others have in the past. And look at
2:54
that view.
2:57
Breathtaking. As the stories go,
2:59
distraught lovers after a breakup would
3:02
stand right there on that ledge and
3:04
plummet down
3:06
into the trees hundreds and hundreds of
3:08
feet below and into the rocks.
3:12
I wonder if any couples ever did it
3:14
together or if it was always just a
3:16
breakup situation. It's almost as if
3:19
you're supposed to bring cans of spray
3:20
paint out here and paint the rocks.
3:24
There's very little sections that are
3:25
not unscathed
3:28
by paint.
3:53
Love can make you do some crazy things.
3:53
There it is. A road I've wanted to take
3:56
for many years. The Blue Ridge Parkway
4:00
straight ahead. Before we get started,
4:02
however, I saw this mill.
4:05
Old timey mill over 100 years old.
4:16
making quite the racket. I kind of like
4:16
it though. I kind of like the noise it's
4:17
making. It takes the water from this
4:19
stream and pushes it up into that
4:22
contraption that runs all along the edge
4:26
of the property. It goes on for a very,
4:28
very lengthy way. I stand corrected. I
4:30
got it backwards. The water current is
4:32
actually coming this way going towards
4:35
the wheel and the mill. When my mom was
4:38
younger, she grew up in this area of
4:40
Virginia, and I remember her telling
4:41
stories about driving the Parkway. It's
4:44
pretty neat that I'm doing it now. I'm
4:46
not for certain, but Oh, yep. Yep. Here
4:49
is a grand reveal.
4:52
Holy cow.
4:54
Shunka.
4:57
Look at that view.
5:00
Impressive.
5:02
Most impressive. Stress, problems, and
5:05
issues seem pretty
5:08
pretty out of sight, out of mind when
5:10
you're gazing over something
5:13
that majestic. Imagine having a cabin
5:16
just right there with a porch facing out
5:19
that direction, waking up every day
5:22
looking at that.
5:24
Yes, please. I'm glad I took this path.
5:28
Originally, I was going to take a
5:29
different road, then I realized how
5:30
close I was. drove a little bit out of
5:32
the way. Well worth it to say the least.
5:35
They call this area the saddle. Lots of
5:38
cabins were built way back in the day
5:39
and was used for farmland. Today,
5:41
according to the sign, says most of it
5:43
has been abandoned and the land is being
5:46
reclaimed by the forest itself.
5:50
This has to be one of the most relaxing
5:52
drives I've ever done. Speed limit's 45.
5:55
No commercial vehicles allowed. In fact,
5:58
not really a whole lot of people on the
6:00
road for that matter. Once common in
6:02
this area, there remains but a few of
6:04
the rough log buildings such as this one
6:07
that were built in the 1890s by the
6:10
Trail family. Rustic fireplace,
6:13
very humble dwellings, but not a bad
6:16
site outside your front door. And
6:19
speaking of, I think that's what this
6:20
was. probably stairs leading up going
6:24
inside and the floorboard has been
6:27
removed.
6:28
Just a simple one room place.
6:36
You having a good time, Big the Foot?
6:36
You like this drive, don't you? Yeah.
6:40
Me, too.
6:42
Me, too. This particular section, it's
6:45
called the Devil's Backbone.
6:47
I don't know why it got that name. One
6:50
thing's for sure, you can see off on the
6:52
horizon for miles and miles and miles.
6:56
Elevation 2,687
6:59
ft up. Just about a half a mile, give or
7:02
take.
7:05
Did you ever see the movie It's a Mad
7:07
Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World? He just went
7:11
sailing out there. He just went sailing
7:13
right out there. Elevation is slowly
7:16
descending.
7:18
Heading down the mountain.
7:25
Today was a little bit more relaxing
7:25
vlog than normal. At least at least I
7:27
think it was. Those breathtaking views,
7:29
the mountains,
7:31
pretty amazing. I'll see you guys
7:33
tomorrow. Vlog
7:36
over.
