Jacob knowledge about places in US is just amazing 😭, i want jacob as my tourist guide if i go to the US. if not i don't want it 😂. Anyway your safety more important than this road trip, seing you driving in the snow is scary and i rather seing you going somewhere safe 😊❤
Been all through that area. We actually stopped at the big chicken to get a pic of it and we have also been to Lamberts. You may want to check out the Train museum in Foley, AL. Enjoy watching your videos. Stay warm.
Aww! Gulf Shores, OBA, Elberta, Foley, and Josephine are were my family spent summers and spring breaks for decades! So much change, but so many memories!
My wife and I are both residents of the MS Gulf Coast and have been watching your videos for a few years. Just wanted to say thank you for coming through our area and showing us off a bit. Safe travels!
The USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park is a great place to stop too. It would take several hours to fully appreciate the ship and the other relics right there on I-10.
Ha! Pascagoula native here! I've actually seen UFOs. One I saw right where those guys were abducted above the Pascagoula bridge, right above where you're standing in the intro. One I've never heard described anywhere else It was like a ring in the sky and it had four lights on it. It was also very low, like 100 ft above the bridge. It was also like 5:00 p.m. so it's still light outside. Me and my ex saw it. Very strange. I've also seen one up in lucedale. That one was one of the triangle crafts with the lights on the bottom. Anyway, thanks for stopping by! 😊
Loved this video, I'm all about UFOs and the Lore, Jacob have you heard about KISS World at the Rio, I think it'd be right up your Dark ride/mini Golf Ally!!
Jacob, If you ever herard Ray Stevens, "Mississippi Squirrel Revival," it was about the "First Self-Righteous Church" in Pascagoula, Mississippi! Before that bear was Stoney, he was Rooty, "The Great American Root Bear" for A & W Root Beer
I remember listening to Garner Ted Armstrong as a kid and he was interviewing one the Pascagoula abductees. This was my first introduction to subject of UFOs.
When I retired my life flashed before me and with it was a repressed memory of 45 years ago. It was an encounter with a craft hovering silently above some powerlines in a then rural area. I was about to write it off as a false memory when I decided to Google "ufo" and where it happened. I got a Twilight Zone shock to discover there was a newspaper article where three cops saw the same thing at the same exact spot approximately 7 years after mine. On top of that a friend who was with me and has no memory of it had his own bizarre encounter at that very spot in a blizzard when he was followed by something tall, hairy and with bright blue eyes. He ditched it by hiding behind a train depot in the blizzard.

Very peaceful out in Florida coast ! UFO , NEVER KNEW FLORIDA WAS HUGE ON UFO SIGHTINGS ! always thought calif desert was huge on UFO ! Because I seen them back in the 60s ! More than once ! Great day on the road ! Buddy !
I heard a TV report back in the day about Gulf Breeze and the UFOs. I laughed since they failed to mention that Gulf Breeze is so close to Pensacola. I went to college there back in the late 80s and and let me tell ya there were lots of military planes of all sorts flying around all the time there. I remember driving out to the beach as we carefully navigated the police speed traps in Gulf Breeze along the way to Pensacola Beach. At the beach, sometimes it felt like a war zone with all the air craft flying around. I'm not surprised that folks felt they saw all kinds of "flying objects."
Loved this episode. Enjoyed the UFO stories and when you took us to the night sky near the water - that was GREAT. What a fun thing to do, check the area known for UFO sightings. 👍
I love it that you went down Route 90. A great excursion and nice country all the way through Panana City Beach. Safe travels...thinking of The Carpetbagger as I go to a Micro Wrestling event tonite.
I’m such a carboholic. That roll looks yummy. Enjoy the slightly warmer weather. It’s going to be 5 degrees in Bryson City tonight. Brrrrr. Even aliens love the beach.
Jacob, great video. But...bless your heart! You began with UFO stories, you ended with UFO stories, and then, right behind that chicken gas station, just a few feet away, is the railroad crossing from Close Encounters of the Third Kind! Your still on this video has your head blocking it! CE3K, Spielberg's best UFO feature (so much better than ET) , was filmed largely in the Mobile area. In Foley is the train station used in the film. If you've not seen CE3K, you have missed a massive classic 70s sci fi film, and a treat! Safe travels!
The chicken!! Omg the chicken!! That was parked at Barfields my ENTIRE childhood in Irvington Alabama... how could i have forgotten the chicken oh my goodness...
Im from Asheville Jacob but Im orignally from West Palm Beach Florida, and there is a place called Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee Fl, just west of WPB, and its a drive through wildlife preserve, and you also at the end can get out and walk around. They had the dino display for years. I dont know for sure if they still do but I think you would enjoy that place.
That was a very good tour. I grew up riding that road in my dad's blue 65 Caddy on weekends, and you gave a very good driving tour. I haven't been on Hwy90 between Pascagoula and West Mobile in many years...since I 10 went in. I did drive a little bit in Irvington last year. Blast from the past. The Elberta trip was really good. I'll be down in Fairhope next month for Mardi Gras....I may drive over to Elberta to see the fiberglass attractions. I remember the UFO craze when I was 12. Then when they filmed Close Encounters in Mobile at Brooklyn Airport...it really took off. My sister in law was an extra for the landing. I ended up working in that very hangar around 1999 to 2003. I'd like to see the lighthouse. There was one in Biloxi in the middle of Hwy 90 and there used to be one in Gulf Shores on the beach highway (it was removed). The tallest that's open is at the NAS in Pensacola at Barrancas. They open it sometimes. It can be 95F at the base and 50F at the top of there is a strong wind.
Yep, someone laughed alright. I didn't notice it initially until I went back to watch after so many comments mentioned it. Weird stuff, it sounds like a woman and it sounded very close by. Too close for it to be coming from the ground floor.
Liver and onions would be my least favorite meal of all time...blah. Glad you enjoy it. Interesting things in that neck of the woods, have never been there.

I know that place! I live just a few miles down the road there in Gulf Breeze. Awesome to hear some Gulf Breeze UFO facts 🛸 I go there many times a year to look up and sky watch at night in hopes of seeing something. Love your videos and all of the history lessons you incorporate to your videos.
Cool that your in Gulf Breeze Florida. I live in the area and hope you have time to see some more things while you're here. Go to the beach or the National Naval Aviation Museum if open. Also good food you should go to McGuire Irish pub in Pensacola. Big fan of your RUclips channel.
They want the tags back and the location, time and day they were caught so they can use the number on the tag to track where it was tagged and released. This tells the authorities how far this fish traveled since it was tagged. It also tells them how much it has grown in what period of time. It helps them establish mortality and migration statistics for the species. No one is targeting certain species of fish just to get a tagged one. It is purely by chance but no one would know to report it if they did not have up the signs. I hope that helps you understand what it is all about.
Pascagoula is my hometown. I was personal friends with Mr Hickson and his family. Until the day he passed, he swore it was all real. The spot where they were abducted is actually across the river from that pier; between the small shipyard and bridge (next to the tall powerpoles). The shipyard they worked at is further south down the river (HII Ingalls) that makes Naval vessels. The one next to the abduction spot makes tugboats. Sadly, not much of the ligthouse is original. Much of it was lost at sea or unstable to be used. There are large chunks of it placed around the Lighthouse Park. Jimmy Buffet is not as admired here as many would think. He didn't claim Pascagoula as his hometown many times. The city changed the name of the beach, without any asking of the residents, in order to drum up some tourism money. Thank you for pronouncing Pascagoula correctly. "Pas Ca Goo la" Fun fact about the dinosaurs in the woods. When first placed, tbey had painted eyes. Mr Barber wasn't happy with them so he got Klein to come back and put the glass eyes in. Bamahenge, like Stonehenge, lines up with the sunrise during the summer solstice. One day, I'll get out there to experience that.
UFO stories are so strange and fascinating at the same time! Anyway you think maybe you might want to do another choose my adventure road trip when it warms up
@@OutdoorsWithShawn yeah it looked early. Would have been cool to finally meet him. I'm glad he made down here. There is actually a documentary on Amazon about the 🛸 ufo story. I did meet the man at The Pascagoula Library. I hate he passed

I love that lady in the water statue, so cool ❤
Yum! Liver and onions. Another great video! Roadside attractions with you Jacob are so fun!
I'm glad you're not shy to eat infront of the camera cause you make everything look scrumptious!!
Wow cool lady in the bay ❤❤❤❤

13:31 sounds like someone is up there with you, and laughing at you when you spoke about not knowing how to go down the ladder
Yes I heard that too!
I had to remind it but I think your right. Or it was an animal noise

I enjoy just following you. Sometimes you teach me things that I never knew. I always enjoy your travels. Keep being you ❤

Another great video of interesting sites and stories. Doesn't matter that the Choose My Adventure Derailed, I am still enjoying it all!
I think Jacob was kidnapped by aliens since he willingly ordered beef liver. 😂😂😂
Hi Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏾
Been all through that area. We actually stopped at the big chicken to get a pic of it and we have also been to Lamberts.
You may want to check out the Train museum in Foley, AL.
Enjoy watching your videos.
Stay warm.
The best part about the snow storm you always get a chance to go back

The big glass thing in the lighthouse is a Fresnel lens. 🙂
Jacob,you need to travel the Natchez Trace.
The Pensacola Naval Base has a great museum, two old forts and a lighthouse, all worth visiting.
I second this!
The USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park is a great place to stop too. It would take several hours to fully appreciate the ship and the other relics right there on I-10.

The railroad crossing right there by the big chicken is where the railroad scene from Close Encounters was filmed. 17:39 & 18:12
That’s right!
I mentioned that to.
Loved this video, I'm all about UFOs and the Lore,
Jacob have you heard about KISS World at the Rio, I think it'd be right up your Dark ride/mini Golf Ally!!
Love the interesting stops. Maybe Jenn can join up with you in Florida to escape the cold weather.
Mark Kline! The Mad Genius! He is so creative. Love seeing his work! ❤❤❤ Be careful out there Carpetbagger!
We enjoy you so much Jacob. Keep being you!

I went up a ladder in our barn when I was a kid and was scared to come back down. Someone had to go up and get me. 😂
I remember listening to Garner Ted Armstrong as a kid and he was interviewing one the Pascagoula abductees. This was my first introduction to subject of UFOs.
That light house was awesome!!
Yay!!! You are at my happy place!!! I can’t wait for tomorrow’s video. Currently counting down the hours 🤗🏖️☀️ stay safe.
I’m glad you got out of the bad weather and went to where it’s warmer. I loved this video and all the interesting stuff you found.
Nice job planning on the run. You make me laugh every day
Hello from Pensacola!! It's 25 degrees real feel here. Thank you for coming by!! ❤
Hey sis! ❤
@@spottedfawn639 Back at yuh, sis. I'm glad that you joined the Carpetbagger crew. He's enjoyable to watch. That includes Jen too.
thanks for all the adventures , keep it up .
I've been to Pascagoula several time at the Naval Shipyardf
Thank you guys for another great trip with you all.

I really enjoy watching your RUclips Channel, Jacob! The roadside attractions that film are really interesting. 👍👍👍👍
RIP Jimmy Buffet. Jacob, I remember when u found the statues of the band Alabama and the irony with the sweet home Alabama song
I love that brontosaurus that is adorable
Always enjoy your vlogs, but this one was outstanding!!
Thank you for a great adventure you showed me things today I wouldn't have seen thank you
That's my hometown, so cool that you ended up there.
I’m such a carboholic. That roll looks yummy. Enjoy the slightly warmer weather. It’s going to be 5 degrees in Bryson City tonight. Brrrrr. Even aliens love the beach.
You are near the Gulf Breeze Zoo and the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park
The town of Pascagoula is mentioned in the Ray Stevens hit "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival"

The chicken!! Omg the chicken!! That was parked at Barfields my ENTIRE childhood in Irvington Alabama... how could i have forgotten the chicken oh my goodness...
Wow ! I live 5 minutes from the chicken car! You was in my neck of the woods!!!
My initial reaction was to be sad about the el Camino - but the more I think about it: Indeed, who wouldn't love to have a Chicken Mobile?
Im from Asheville Jacob but Im orignally from West Palm Beach Florida, and there is a place called Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee Fl, just west of WPB, and its a drive through wildlife preserve, and you also at the end can get out and walk around.

Did anyone hear something laughing when Jacob was looking at the ladder wondering how to go down? Eerie.
Yes we rewatched it. What was it??
Yep, someone laughed alright. I didn't notice it initially until I went back to watch after so many comments mentioned it. Weird stuff, it sounds like a woman and it sounded very close by. Too close for it to be coming from the ground floor.
Loved the video Jacob stay safe and take care my friend.
Lamberts looks delious
Liver and onions would be my least favorite meal of all time...blah. Glad you enjoy it. Interesting things in that neck of the woods, have never been there.
What a cute stegosaurus
It looked like each step at the lighthouse had a little dedication plaque on it. Interesting!
It signifies the people and businesses who help fund the rebuilding of the lighthouse

Thank you another great video
Good morning Jacob thanks for sharing this the international 👽👾UFO 🛸
It's a fresnel lens essentially a magnifying glass. You're a braver man than me climbing up to the top of the light house.

Aaah .. Pascagoula home of the Mississippi Squirrel Revival by Rey Stevens.
I'm gonna tell you the same thing i I told Jordan the Lion. You passed right by my house in the Foley and Elberta area. Wish I known.
I live in Pascagoula wish I knew you were here.I would love to meet you. Safe travels my friend.

I just watched a show about this specific abduction case on travel channel. Great video as always Jake!
Thank you for the video highlight for me was the lighthouse 😎😎
Just passed over it. Imagine walking out on a pier to go to space
Awe man! You were in Pascagoula. This is where I live and work at that navy shipyard. So cool! Should eat at Bozo's !!

There is another lady in the lake in Leeds Alabama at the Barbers Motorsports Park. She is the twin of the one in Elberta.
