    I like how you greet animals. We are all connected to animals and they appreciate when we acknowledge them I think.

    I agree with you about headstones. My grandmother passed away when I was 15 and was buried in her hometown 800 from where I live. When I found out 40 years later that she didn't have any type of grave marker, I bought one for her. I felt she deserves to be remembered.

    Hello Adam. These are the videos I. love when you pass through these old towns showing old buildings learn the history of the places what stories all these places could tell. Hope you resume these kind of blogs. I know its 6 years later when I see these blogs for first time. Hope you do more in future. I can't get around like I used to. Stay safe where ever you travel

    Did you notice the pattern with the number 8? That first little town was so cool! When I see an abandoned house I think of the babies made, the lives lost, Christmas mornings, Thanksgiving dinners, the laughter and the tears that the house could talk about. The old church was beautiful!

    Adam, I too am fascinated with cemeteries. There is a cemetery in Watertown, NY(upstate NY, little over an hour north of Syracuse) where I'm from called Brookside Drive Cemetery. It is absolutely massive. It's on hilly terrain, paths going all over, ponds, woods, and sitting areas. It's like a maze. You'll find graves dating back to the early 1800s to present day. Lots of famous/wealthy graves that are literally private little buildings with windows you can peer in. It is a breathtaking place. I currently reside in North Florida, but try to go home every few years. I always find myself going back there. Mark it in your travel journal! Or at least a mental note! Check it out if/when you ever get up there. Regards.

    Mico is actually a quaint little town. RV's are not an uncommon sight there around Lake Medina. The other end of the lake is a bit more public. On your way from Hondo to the lake, there is a relatively forgotten, but amazingly "Majestic" rest area at about 6110 TX-173, Hondo, TX 78861, know to the locals as "The Cut". Would love to see some drone footage from there. Sunsets are spectacular from that point. If your hanging around a few days, make the trip to Bandera via 16. Visit the11th Street Cowboy Bar, quite a site inside and out. Lots of things to see in and around the area. Then come back via 173 and stop at the top of "the Cut" and enjoy the beauty of the setting sun. If you get a chance, check out Grey Forest. Also while in San Antonio, try out Goro's Sushi next to Dad's Karaoke, would be good for a Saturday night, pre-meet eat. Come for the Sushi, Stay for the Karaoke :P It's very near North Star.

    Another interesting cemetery! I Columbo-ed it and found that the mail box there might have held a registry book at one time where guests visiting the graveyard would sign. Also Think Geek is an awesome store, I shop on their website sometimes.

    We will be there! My wife, daughter and I watch you everyday. We were bumming out thinking you had been through and gone so we are very happy you will be here.
    Hope you get some time to look at the mission trail, very historic, includes the Alamo but there are 5 missions total and all are very historic, you would enjoy. If you are doing BBQ around here, Texas Pride is one you should include, also look at Lockhart Texas up the road a bit, lots of BBQ history there to explore. Try Mi Tierra for Mexican food, open 27-7, 365 downtown. Fun interesting spot.

    Adam, I like you're thinking, I believe you're a very deep thinker.
    I'm always trying to wrap my brain around the fact that so many people before us lived in the cities, towns, spaces that we're living in today. All of those before us are now gone, and in 100 years or so, all of us will be gone...

    • @brendaowens2143
      @brendaowens2143 7 лет назад +2

      that makes sense. I've never heard of a wind phone but I can get the meaning behind the concept. in my area we have a box of some sort and the family of those buried there can leave a tip or donation for the caretaker who cuts the grass and upkeep.

    • @daveTV
      @daveTV 7 лет назад +6

      I thought it was one of those air vents they put back in the day when they thought people were dead, but really weren't. That way they could breathe. They used to put a vent with a string and bell so if the person woke up they could signal the surface. Back in the day before modern medicine it was a fear some people had. So many devices were created to prevent people from accidentally being buried alive.

They say always follow your instincts and you did and got out. Good decision.

    that creepy end of the road. There are
    a lot of abandoned residences & businesses

That's my kind of place but the only true "Geeky" store we had around here (other than Gamestop, I guess) closed down due to being charged unreasonable rent.

And thanks for the content, I've forwarded you to just about everyone I know this week. (that church is so tiny, when I went there, the only people that were there was the pastor, his wife, and one other older lady . . . . . . ..well . . . .and me)

    I'm surprised you didn't say "Join me, shall you?" at the end of the video! I'm a big fan from your old channel from years ago when you explored abandoned places around Florida and places in WDW, and I'm slowly getting used to your daily channel (or as I used to remember it "its my second channel, daily blog channel!") even though you've been doing it for a while now. It's actually quite fun following you on your travels, but I do occasionally go back and watch some of the old stuff for the nostalgia value. Looking forward to the rest of your travels from here in the UK.
