Adam, when I lived in the south I remember having that mindset about icy roads. Then I moved to Michigan, and after 20 years here, I can tell you those roads are not very dangerous. You will be okay brother.
I live in the mountains of West Virginia and snow and icy roads are just a part of life….we lived in Michigan in the 50s and remember the snow there was pretty bad ..we were in the Detroit area.
@@KirkandRA True, but those roads don't look bad. Also, here in Michigan, every so many years we have winters where the city runs out of funds for the year, and so we don't get salt or sand for the last part of winter.
Adam like I said late last year you and your dad’s vlogs were my best in 2021 and would appear that these vlogs with your mom are the best for early 2022 and so entertaining to watch! Love the family history and points of interest videos! Please be careful while you’re traversing those icy roads! ❄️
Hey, I have lived in Greensboro for almost 20 years now. It's crazy how much we have grown. These small towns like Stokesdale are up and coming with expensive housing. If you come back in five years I imagine the downtown area will be exploding with new businesses. We love the Greensboro area as it still has a small town feel unlike Raleigh and Charlotte areas. We want growth, but we do not want to become another area where everyone flocks to and ruins our charm. That said, we do have a lot to offer and hope people will travel to this area and check out our quaint towns. By the way, it has snowed for three weekends in a row. We hardly get this much snow in the winter season let alone in one month. Later in the week it will warm again thankfully. Hope you enjoyed your trip!
@@andreamills5852 yes! We love Ashville, but it's a shame to see what has happened there. When a town becomes too expensive and crowded for its residents to enjoy, it's time to rethink planning. I know a few people who have moved for various reasons, but no one really wanted to move, but circumstances there made it impossible to live there.
This Train in the Window (a.k.a."GRAMPS") These cars were built in the 1908 to 1912 era as standard gauge tank cars with a capacity of 6000 Gallons and were mounted on Archbar Trucks. In the mid to late 1920's some of these cars were converted to Narrow Gauge by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. These cars were named after Lafayette "Gramps" Hughes who owned a small refinery in Alamosa Colorado and refined oil from the oil fields above Chama, New Mexico. During these years Mr. Hughes grandchildren wanted to know which cars belonged to their 'gramps', so he leased 20 cars and had them stenciled 'GRAMPS", and that's how they acquired the naming.
Woo Hoo, Adam, Love this too! I forgot to mention to ya earlier that Rutherford County, NC was also a filming location for Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis back in 1993, I think...Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and parts of Asheville. Also, parts of Dirty Dancing were filmed here. Lots of good stuff here in this large but rural county in the NC Foothill mountains. As always, lots of thumbs up on this one!
Adam, I wish ***someone would have you make travelogs around the country. You're honest, but I feel you're always respectful of the places you visit. Plus, you're interesting, have background info, the gift of gab, mix in easily, and enjoy these kinds of trips. JUST THINKING out loud, in print. 🤠👏🌟
I like watching your videos. And you always put a smile on my face when you get so excited about the water towers and the trains. Always keep that excitement in your bones it's good for your soul. And I enjoyed your mom with you too that's so nice.
One of my all time favorite things to do is drive around in the country thru tiny towns and go antiquing, just looking around, so I absolutely LOVE these types of videos that you do. Thank you so much!
You basically drove past my parents house. My grandma used to have a house in Walnut Cove. Thanks for showing these small towns! I got tired of large city life and moved back to rural life and love it.
That fake brick stuff is called insulbrick. It is an asphalt based product used back in the 1920's and up. It is very flammable . It had insulating properties. My childhood home was covered in it too.
Love the architect on some of the old buildings in the small towns. The details are beautiful.you do such a great job with these vlogs. Thank you for taking us along.
I’m sure these small quaint towns will see an upsurge in residents sick of the hectic big cities. Happening in Australia now as people get out of the craziness. Another great vid. Thanks Adam. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Slurp lol, don't blame your mom for staying warm Adam, Wonder who thought of that place name Bald Hill 😊, yep don't forget your toilet paper, sanitizer and those masks Adam lol, always happy to see a discombobulated crocodile 😂, Thankyou love your take on your daily adventures Adam
Yes, yes my husband was talking to your through the monitor screen....don't slip on that ice and fall!!! He broke his arm last week in an icy slip and fall on our sidewalk and he is 93. He is wishing you well and thanking you for the engaging videos! Waving from Michigan
If you like trains, you should head down to Spencer, Nc. There’s the NC a transportation museum, all sorts of transportation related items there. Planes, trains and automobiles. Another great video
Enjoyed as always. Maybe one day you will head back into Western North Carolina. Watching this vlog reminds me of the similarity of our little town of Canton NC.. It’s a paper mill town that dates back into 1890’s and still operational today. The buildings are pretty much original in architecture. The beauty of our town is location. Hour drive you can either be Blue ridge parkway, or great Smokey mountains.. love the vlog, always exciting when you come to our state and much appreciated that you take time to document the little towns. Stay safe on your travels.
I enjoy watching your back road adventures Adam. Thanks for bringing me with you. I appreciate you braving the cold weather. 🥶 I like the colder weather if it's above freezing but, I don't like the windy weather. I find it hard to breathe when it gets to hot. I love when you talk to the animals.
Amen you can get out in that weather to share these with us. I am born and raised in tampa florida and love all your backroad trips so thanks for putting yourself out to share these...
Hi Adam love the channel. You were in my hometown of Madison . Grogan's river front was actual grogan's court a hotel many years ago. Love see you there if I wasn't in the hospital would have love to show you around. Maybe if you visit in the future you could let me know and I would love to show you around. Please keep up the great work you do. Thank you
Enjoyed this video so much! I grew up just off of Bald Hill Road and the abandoned/burned down store front was a thriving local hub 40-60 years ago. We just called it “the store”. It was always a highlight of my childhood to pick out a Mt Dew or Yoo Hoo from the cooler as a treat!
Loving your back roads vlogs Mr. Adam. I prayed that your mom had safe travels home. Really enjoyed the vlogs with mom Woo. Be safe and well. Safe travels and adventures Mr. Adam.
I love these small towns with all the history and cool old signage. I live in a small town. Nice place to settle after moving across the US big cities. Enjoyed your vlog, and wishing your Mom a safe trip home. I think she really enjoyed 'hangin' out' with you' and seeing family! Stay safe, warm and well.
Across from the motel: a "motor court" part of the same motel. It looks like it's from the 1920s. Lots of old motels had garages for your car. One still in business is the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, NM. We had one near where we lived, attached to a barbeque restaurant. While my parents waited for barbecue or talked after we ate, I played in the playground of the motel in front of the rooms and garages.
You so should buy an old empty town and create your own small town with some investors. You've been all over rural and non rural America. I bet you could create one hell of a town. Have fun, adam!
Nothing like starting your Monday work watching your vlogs!!! Love it!!! Thank you for your videos it sure makes my day better to get a good laugh over the cows!! Great way to start the week!!!
Those were auto rack train cars hauling new cars to holding yards That blinking light on the end car is what replaced the caboose. It relays the air pressure to the head locomotive and eliminated the need for men to ride the rear car and call everything in. More examples of technology taking our jobs. Thanks for another good video.
Fun fact, The Grogan’s Riverfront is being renovated..it was originally called Grogan’s Tourist Court, built in 1931. The motel had garages were for the patrons cars while they stayed there. Pretty cool 😎
These are beautiful places. I enjoy remembering our family stories about these wonderful cities we would see someday see. Thank you for sharing. Love the video's
Love this! I love small towns. Old buildings and country roads. I've been to North Carolina twice and my youngest son lives in Raeford, N.C. . Love watching videos like this. Seeing quaint small town life. I would love to live in a quiet little town. Thank you.🙂
Glad to hear your mom is doing well, Adam. I hope she has safe travels home! Does anyone else worry about Adam's parents like they're your own or is it just me? They remind me of my own family.
You don't give yourself enough credit! We appreciate your love of family and the simple life of America. Thanks for bringing it out to view 😎
That’s kind of you to say . Thanks so much
@@TheDailyWoo My pleasure! God bless!
I totally agree Cheryl!
Adam, when I lived in the south I remember having that mindset about icy roads. Then I moved to Michigan, and after 20 years here, I can tell you those roads are not very dangerous. You will be okay brother.
But in the south, most municipalities do not have salt trucks and plows. That being said..the roads look pretty clear but you never can tell
I live in the mountains of West Virginia and snow and icy roads are just a part of life….we lived in Michigan in the 50s and remember the snow there was pretty bad ..we were in the Detroit area.
@@KirkandRA True, but those roads don't look bad. Also, here in Michigan, every so many years we have winters where the city runs out of funds for the year, and so we don't get salt or sand for the last part of winter.
I worry more about him backing up against the edge of busy roads while his attention is on filming!
Ice is ice, brother. A lot of people get killed in our winter weather. Yep, it's just as slick here on frozen areas as it 8s in Michigan.
Adam like I said late last year you and your dad’s vlogs were my best in 2021 and would appear that these vlogs with your mom are the best for early 2022 and so entertaining to watch!

Hope Mama Woo had a pleasant flight home. Lovely seeing her.
Drive safely on to your next adventure x

You are exactly right.From someone who was born and raised in Asheville .It's ruined.Wrong type of growth.

Tweetsie Railroad was a western themed amusement park in North Carolina. I went there when I was kid a long time ago.

I love the old storefronts. Brings back memories of going "window shopping"

Just love how you chat with cows.
I’m so glad that you enjoy making videos of the backroads of America because I really enjoy watching the videos. Thanks !!

No one comments on the lovely street lamp posts you've been seeing. Rather elegant. Thanks Adam 🙂
Tell mom we love her in the videos. Keep up the good work.
I think we are Brothers of the Brew! It is so clear that you love coffee like I do! These travel vlogs are great! Safe Travels! :)
Small chat with the cows never gets old
I love it too.
For years I never knew you had a second channel, this is amazing!!!!!
Love all the NC coverage lately!
Those bricked up garage doors in that Joyce motors building was originally a motel that had a garage with every room
Thank you I wondered about those doors.
I'm still watching. Gotta say, I dislike sweating myself and I also live in Florida. Keep up the good work! You make my day!!

back in the day when motor courts were in fashion some had garages for each motel room, that's what that could be across from Grogan's Court!
If you like trains, you should head down to Spencer, Nc. There’s the NC a transportation museum, all sorts of transportation related items there. Planes, trains and automobiles.
Another great video
That sign says “ Piedmont” as you are in the Piedmont area of NC.The “PI” were hidden!
