I used to live in that big white house beside the furnace. It was before the interstate opened up. I raised my three daughters there for many years. This video brought back so many good memories, it's making my heart ache. It was a fantastic place for kids and me. We used to walk passed the furnace to a big culvert that went under the interstate and hike those woods. The front porch was serenity, I could hear the creek from my bedroom. I could tell you many things about that house. I'm sure it's not the same any more. Thank you for the memories, be still my aching heart.
These are the videos that I can just push play leave the volume up and don’t necessarily have to see you at all, but the way you describe it the sounds of you walking on the pavement. The birds chirping the leaves, crackling very very calming.
@@jayweiss4378 exactly. It’s shocking how many abandoned homes n towns there are in the US. Quite sad but very interesting . Like an abandoned old movie set
As someone from the UK, I absolutely love these videos showing small towns in the US. It's very easy to imagine them back in their prime. Keep up the good work Mr Woo 👍
PS That’s so rad! Tom’s a genius. I met Tom at the Tempe Improv years back. And I was on via phone calls on Tom’s show. I had the honor of talking with Ed McMahon on Tom’s show. A unforgettable time!
Great video. The tree stump in the cemetery is a forgotten symbol often meaning a life cut short. It may also mean the person was a member of the Woodmen of the World which was a life insurance company pretending to be a fraternal order. On Georgia's grave was the Gates of Heaven which became popular after the Civil War thanks to a book that said the gates of heaven swing both ways allowing spirits to visit grieving loved ones on earth.
Adam, I have been a fan and subscriber for almost 9 years now and I can't say thank you enough. The places you go, film, explain what you see, and let us tag along with you is an awesome experience everytime time. It is greatly appreciated. Thank you sir.
HEY ATW...THESE EPISODES WHERE YOU EXPLORE ABANDONED or deserted homes/buildings/structures are absolutely engrossing because they make me feel like I'm nine years old again when everything was exciting and I felt like I was Indiana Jones(lol). Thanks for doing what you do!
@@yeboscrebo4451 He didn't use to be! He's just getting older and he doesn't want to get hurt , arrested or even worse! I don't blame him though...one bad fall and he might lay somewhere for days or even longer before someone found him. He is in the middle of nowhere most of the time. Watch some of his early vlogs. He was a madman! Trespassing all day long. Not afraid of anything.
The car at 6:39 is a 1966 Impala two door hardtop with probably 327 V8. The 1966 Impala SS Super Sport with 396 or 427 V8 had Super Support a little lower on the fender by the door. Dad bought me one.
Adam that old car is a 1966 Chevy Impala .My Mom and Dad had one of those back in the early 1970's i was just a kid back then .Had a 396 engine in it ..We were traveling From Newbury Ohio to Massachusetts to see my Grandmother ..Dad was driving on the New York Turnpike .we was running 65 MPH when a Buck ran out in front of us ..We hit that Buck an d it brought that car to a dead stop .the whole front end was shoved back into the engine ..I'll never forget that night..Highway Patrol said the only thing that saved that buck from coming through our windshield was that when the old chevys got hit in the front .the hood latch let loose and the hood opened ..which flung the buck up over the car
The creek is Simpson Creek. The little store with the gas pumps was owned by Richard Knick and you were correct, the home right next to it was where he and his wife Rosa lived. The big fancy home with the motel was owned by the people who originally owned the whole furnace operation, stacks and all. The house you were in front of by the twin brick stacks and just across the bridge where the man waved was my grandmothers house. It was built in 1826 I believe and served as the bank, post office and general store for the people who worked at Longdale Furnace. It still has a steel vault from it's days as a bank that runs from the ground to the second floor. I think the furnace shut down in 1911 and my grandmother bought it in the mid to late 1940's, even now, that home remains very special to me. My aunt Betty Jean Dean (a super nice lady) owns my grandmother's home now. She's the daughter of Richard and Rosa Knick. At one time nearly everyone in Longdale was related to me, but nearly all have died now. Most of them are buried in that little cemetery across from the church you stopped at. I think those tree stumps you saw were petrified wood. Me and 2 friends did go all the way through that cave you went in when I was a teen, it's tight in places and super dark, but comes out on the other side of the mountain. No way I'd try that today, LOL
Another great vid from the master of road trips. The car behind the furnace towers was a Chevy Impala 2door, fairly rare these days and well worth saving. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
A manor is usually a landed estate like a plantation. They used the term a lot up north in places like New York...where they had a bunch tenant farmers and indentured servants working the land. A mansion is just a big house.
Adam, your willingness to enter abandoned homes and buildings has definitely changed from the "don't even ask your mom" days! We're all more cautious as we age. "Be careful. That doesn't look safe!"
Good morning from Gatlinburg TN Mr Woo. THESE are the ones I love ..I love them all, don't get me wrong ..but, these are the ones I love doing too on my RUclips channel. Great job as always!!🏞️🌄🐻
Love that area of the country, small country mountain towns and rivers that run through them… if I ever decided to leave the Rocky Mountains and move back east I wouldn’t mind living somewhere south of here in the NC or Tenn mountains.
I have always loved exploring the old abandoned federal and colonial style homes in VA. Cifton Forge looked familiar to me and I realized that is because I once took a train to visit relatives and was picked up at that station. It's a beautiful town.
My mother's family has been in that part of virginia for 3 hundred years. My mother was born in clifton forge. Our family names are Humphries and Kimberlin and Forbes. I was born in philadelphia and Raised in this surrounding area. You have been covering my old stomping grounds lol. Safe travels.
Great scenery. Brings back memories of my grandfather loading us in the 68 Plymouth for a Sunday drive from Central PA through the back roads of MD. Safe travels.
Adam, really enjoyed your awesome video! Thank you for taking me along with you on your travels! Lots of cool old buildings, and abandoned places and that cool cave at the end! Looking forward to your next vlog. Adam YOU ROCK!!!!!!
The classic 1964 Ford Galaxy at 22:03 brings back some great memories from high school in 70-73. I had the identical car that I drove until my senior year when I wrapped it in a telephone pole. Replaced it with a 1966 GTO. Good times
My parents grew up there in Clifton Forge 1920-1945 and I visited there often in the 60’s- 80’s. My maternal grandfather is related to the Nicely’s. My aunt worked at Leggets. My grandparents lived on Allegheny Street, 133 I believe. My aunt Ruby lived on Revere Street across from a creek.
Adam, The car you couldn't figure out what it was is a 4th generation Chevy Impala(1964-1970). In Woodward Cave in central Pennsylvania the temperature is 40-45° in the summer. It can be 80°+ outside but you walk 20 into the cave and it drops to 40s. Also in north central Pennsylvania there's a Grand Canyon.
When highways came through small little towns...the towns would lose their income of motels..stores..ans so much more I know highways are quick way to get from a to z But how nice it would be to slow down and appreciate the small towns
Hi Adam the back roads of Virginia lol I've been threw Virginia in the past with my family in 2006. There's a long road with wooded trees on both sides that looks amazing. Driving down it looks like something you'll see on a PBS special lol. Thanks for sharing this video Adam, you have your fun showing us what out there. Stay safe and take care.😎📱🙏 Hi Nikki 👋
Love love love the beautiful backroads, including all the graceful old homes... kinda wish you zoomed in on the old bus that was right near the bridge the train was rollong on. Thanks, Adam, for all these relaxing beautiful backroads vids
The car in the beginning is a 1966 Chevrolet Impala sport coupe. It looks like it was optioned with the desirable 327 engine. The standard V-8 was the 283, and would have only crossed flags with no numbers above.
Whenever I see a wooden covered bridge, I think of Silver Bullet when Marty gets his wheelchair stuck and a certain bad-guy is approaching him (no spoilers). Great video!
Hey Adam 👋 I'm so glad you got to visit my home state ! I actually live in Fredericksburg. You should totally visit if you are still here. We have so much history and we would definitely show you around ❤ Have fun !!!
What a beautiful day and yes I loved exploring along with you and seeing so much beauty that I was only able to see thanks to you now the town Clifton Forge when you first showed it I said to myself it reminds me of a studio backlot and I also thought that town would be great used in a movie and or tv show but I must say the thing I probably liked the most was the bridge because that bridge just looking at it said old Americana plus the shot you took with the word love spelled out and the bridge behind it and the water running under the bridge was breathtaking so thanks for sharing another off the beaten path road trip now with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next awesome Adam the daily woo adventure peace ☮️ out ✌️
Virginia has so much history no matter where you are, but it's definitely "God's country" in the western part of the state. It's so beautiful a lot of it does look like a film set. Even better when the foliage and trees are full.
I love exploring backroads in VA in Prince William/Loudoun Co. So many hidden small towns and clusters of buildings that consist of homes and a small general store.
Great video!! Clifton Forge looks like the kind of town that Adam's parents would have lived in during the early years of their marriage. If I lived there, I would walk across Humpback Bridge every Wednesday. 😀😀😀
The store with the mannequin used to be Press's Wholesale. A convenient store that rented movies and had a pool table down in the bottom. Was the hang out spot for my childhood.
Hello Adam. Thank you for taking the backroads and finding so many great places to explore. These videos are very interesting, and I look forward to seeing where the adventures take you again! ❤ Bizebeegranny Jeanne and Dave Rose from Wickenburg Arizona ❤️ ⚘️ ❤

Love this ❤
I use the videos I’m not that interested in to go to sleep at night , glad I’m not the only one who uses these as background noise lol
Maybe a proper introduction next time. I felt like she was just a stranger taking up random space in the video.
Virginia has so much to offer. It's beautiful with so much history. It will always be my home.
I have relatives in VA and love visiting. My favorite thing to do is to explore small towns especially old abandoned federal and colonial style homes.
I've been there twice and I love it. I'd love to see more.
I love ❤️ Virginia ! as well as Western North Carolina & Tennessee that region is beautiful
@@jayweiss4378 exactly. It’s shocking how many abandoned homes n towns there are in the US. Quite sad but very interesting . Like an abandoned old movie set
One of the best ever
My family is from Selma Virginia, this whole area of Appalachia is stunning and something to behold. Truly a small town backwoods treasure.
I lived in Selma from 1962 through 1972 and attended Selma Elementary school, those were great times to be alive here in America.
Beautiful old homes and beautiful scenery. I'm in love with Virginia.
This little town is quite cute and a lot to see. Love the small town vlogs. You did it again! That yiu MR. Woo
I was born in Clifton Forge. Love that you went back. So much history and interesting things in thay area.❤
Really enjoyed this.
This is actually my home.. I have lived here my entire life, Conner Lane, is actually our “holler” where 3 generations of us Conner still reside.
I bet you're kin to Joyce and Hunter Conner, which likely makes me your relative too! My grandfather was Charles Waitmer Conner.
Hi Adam, I just love these exploring back roads videos. The weather has certainly been on your side. Makes it more beautiful 😊
As someone from the UK, I absolutely love these videos showing small towns in the US. It's very easy to imagine them back in their prime. Keep up the good work Mr Woo 👍

Loved it. These videos are my favorite. Love the Old houses, relics, etc. Thanks for sharing. Have fun, be safe and Happy Trails.

Haha me too. Adam’s a scaredy cat though about heights and barriers.

I think it looks like Schitt's Creek hotel too
Brittany is cool. She's like a smart beautiful chill common sense Southern lady. You can just tell
ATW ASMR 👏🏻 all of your videos are great, but something about these back roads videos are the absolute most relaxing videos.
Really enjoying these easy going back road adventures. Thanks for taking us along with you on your travels Adam !

both my parents are from VA and I've relatives all over the state. this is exactly what we used to do as kids
This is just fantastic I could watch this type of video forever
Always will be a big inspiration for me thank you Adam 📷👍
Awesome video my town falling springs is beautiful also
My hometown. I miss it a lot.
A lot of motels have TVs in the rooms but how many motels have them in the parking lot??
Awesome video Adam! Love it when your back on the road

That was incredibly interesting. I probably will never get to those areas in my lifetime so I appreciate your vlog!

Up here in Massachusetts I have a cemetery behind my house and they are family pet markers.

My grandparents took me there back in the 70's.
Would love to live in a small American town
Ahhh, I love these videos... just roaming around, exploring lots of different kinds of places, Adam.

That restaurant name though 😂😂😂 “check out #15” I died . Loved the whole video ❤

I love old town history! Looks like a place I would like to retire at. Thank you for sharing!
I see hearts too.. definitely saw the heart rock. 😂
I love the old Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon aka Marcia's Surf shop. My wife actually had one back in the late 70's.
I learned to swim at Humpback. I jumped off the train trestle next too it in my teenage years. It used to be a little deeper water there
Mr woo your videos are gold...thanks
Would have been so cool to meet you Adam. I'm just across the boarder in West Virginia.
Whenever I see a wooden covered bridge, I think of Silver Bullet when Marty gets his wheelchair stuck and a certain bad-guy is approaching him (no spoilers). Great video!
I think of funny farm w Chevy Chase when moving truck goes into it
Hey Adam 👋 I'm so glad you got to visit my home state ! I actually live in Fredericksburg. You should totally visit if you are still here. We have so much history and we would definitely show you around ❤ Have fun !!!
Ah Virginia. If I can't be there, I'll join you here.
I love Virginia and have always wanted to live in Lexington VA.

Did someone say PIGEON Forge??? Lol. I knew you'd say it eventually Mr Woo .lol We miss you , especially the Jurassic Jungle Ride 😂🏞️🌄🐻
I love exploring backroads in VA in Prince William/Loudoun Co. So many hidden small towns and clusters of buildings that consist of homes and a small general store.
hello Adam and Brittney , yet another cool interesting explore , that manor was so cool , well done and thank you both 😊
I see the heart ❤️

This was a good video my friend, I like the length of this one back roads of America .. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA....
Adam back on the road and I’m loving every minute of it. Backroads VA are very interesting. If you go to central VA Poplar forest is a great visit.
Definitely... It's 10 mins from me.
@@papazahn me too. I like the new parkway they built I go after work most days.
This is my favorite kind of Woo video

That is so wild seeing that church street station train! I remember that train very well. Also epic and beautiful views in Virginia.
Sort of a low key “abandoned “ video and I like it! 👍🏻
Wow it’s beautiful there. Love all the old buildings you explored. Love the cave that’s so cool.
Norman Bates and the Showerheads! Thats what all the Norman Bates talk made me think of..
Love the longer videos! Great video!
We don't have covered bridges like that in the UK (that I know of), but that one is exactly how I pictured the one in Joe Hill's 'NOS4A2' book. Even down to the graffiti.
They look really cool to me.
These videos are so enjoyable to me as I'm getting to see places I will NEVER be able to get to! Thank you for taking us with you! I've been a subscriber for probably ten years now and it never gets old! Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you!
That car in the field behind the smokestack is a 67 Impala Super Sport. BEAUTIFUL.
