I love the sound of the country roads under the tires. And yes, when we were kids, we used to jump in the back of the truck and go down 67 from Fredericktown to Coldwater to our great grandma and grandpa's farm, the back roads to Crane Lake to fish and all over Madison County and into Arcadia and Ironton. Look mom, no seatbelts, no hands, no security bars and we survived the '70's! LOL Back then 55 was 4 lanes, 67 was 2 lanes and Eckert's Orchard was still along the way to and from St. Louis to Fredericktown. We stopped every time to get apples and peaches.
Another enjoyable video from you. Thank you. You mentioned "some old cars & trucks" being some of what's left. Don't leave them out of the pictures. As we age, those old pieces of metal connect us back to a more groovy time than now. I knew Missouri was pretty but you make it look astonishing. Thanks again!
The slab of cement in Corry was once a Church. I have a picture of it. My family attended services their, also my family is burried in the cemetery, my Dad, grandparents, great grandparents, siblings, Aunts, uncle's, cousins etc. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video. I've been studying about coal mining in the states- what a rabbit hole it's been! There is still coal mining in Missouri, of course lead, zinc and other products are mined/produced. I was thinking about why Cora could have become Corry. In Appalachia and other areas folks add ie to names- Dora/Dorry, Cora/Corie, etc. Maybe that's how it got lost in translation. Love the treasures you can find on those dirt roads, you always find some great ones. Love researching these areas you visit. Excited for part 2. Stay safe and GOD bless
Thank you! I’m not a big mining buff but visiting these places you can’t help but become interested. I was in Nevada recently and the mining ghost towns are everywhere.
Both of my parents were born in Dade County but my mothers family lived there for just a short time but my dads family came to the county before the Civil War and my grandfather lived out on the farm until 197? when he sold it and moved into Ash Grove. The farm was around Rock Prairie. Dad went to school at the old Scott School. Also I have family buried at Sinking Creek. My Great, Great Grandfather who was wounded in Greenfield during the Civil War and later died from his wounds is buried there. I need to go back and watch your video on Greenfield.
Dade County's back road exposed lots to enjoy. The mill had beautiful scenery. Lots of old log cabin . Certainly had lot of name changes of towns. This area was certainly full of surprises. Great day spent on the narrow back road adventure. Thanks, John .
My but this trip was a very productive one for you. The area itself is so wonderful with wooded areas, hills, streams, and all. But then you found much left from the years past. I would of found it hard to move on from so many of the points of interest you highlighted. The old mill with the stream rushing by centered down in that beautiful wooded valley was so picturesque and calming that I might not of been able to leave. All in all, such a wonderful area. The locals are truly living in a little touch of heaven. Thank you for once again taking us along. It will be hard for the rest of the county to better what we have seen this time.
@@TravelwithaWiseguy I have often wondered how we ever got you back from some of those runs! I know many times I have found a place when out on my motorcycle, and it is just hard to hop back on and fire up and leave. Waiting now for Sunday and the rest of that trip.
Thank you for sharing. I started my teaching career in Everton, met and married my husband and then returned to my hometown of Pineville, MO. You need to go down there and see if you would like to do this there. My hubby and I drive these same backroads almost every night. Good job.
We put cable in through where you were at. The people came and said what are you doing, we said putting in cable. That was years ago, I doubt if it is still used anymore with all the ariel equipment in use now. Nice video. that drone thinger you have helps a lot. Be good, be safe !!
The cabin was Weir Cabin which was built by Reverend Samuel Jasper Weir (1791-1848). He was the son of Johnathan W. Weir (~1750-1832) and Mary "Polly" Rankin (1758-1843). His father, Jonathan, was a Virginia soldier who fought in the Battle of King's Mountain during the Revolutionary War. Samuel, along with other family members are buried in Weir Cemetery Northeast of Greenfield. The cabin that you stood in was a primitive church that was built ~1842. Rev. Samuel also established the Spring River School in Dade County, which is now Lawrence County. Our family descended from his son Jonathan Warren Weir (1823-1906).
Really enjoyed this trip! So many interesting things you showed us! Did you look in that trunk in that cabin?🤔 😂 Keep up the good work! Looking forward to Part 2!
I really enjoy your content! I'm sure you're working on your sound. I have to turn my volume way up to hear you on your exterior shots, then my speakers nearly blow up when you shoot inside your car. Still, keep up the good work!
Are you watching on your phone, computer, tv? Seems the sound is different depending on what you watch on. I try to level it out so it plays well on phones (that’s where most watch).
You're down the parts where some of my family branches were before settling Kansas. I got a Great-something that I believe is related to the Boones you mentioned and if you're heading East on Highway 60, eventually if you get to Mountain View, I'm a Great-Grandson of the Reese's that settled there (and deeded the cemetery to the town.) I think I've got relatives from the 1800s-1950s buried all over along Highway 60 down there from Joplin eastward. Sadly I don't know much about those older generations, except that whoever was left in those small towns, by the Depression, left for KC.
13:34 Did someone try to shoot a small firework at your drone? Saw a puff of smoke while your drone was taking a wide view look of Everton. I remember seeing a creek called Turnback, but it was somewhere in the Ozark area. *Btw, Macks Creek is growing and there's some new, good folks out there.
The slab of concrete at Cory was a church. Arsonist burned it down about 20 years ago. My great grandparents are buried in Cory cemetery and I live in Dadeville. Thanks
When viewing your videos, I like to bring up Google Maps and try and follow along with your travels. It's fun. I found the place in Pennsboro you said might have been a gas station, but I can't find the old school building.
Some history about Greenfield, MO... the opera house on the square used to be a stop on the orphan train. The top floor was a theater segregated for the black population. They used the back entrances. Also, there are underground tunnels, probably filled by now, from Prohibition, leading from the opera house to out of town. I gained this information from the current owner of the building.
We had a merry go round where I came from...Visalia, Ca the one you were riding.,.you know how ppl are theses days.. it's all gone and replaced with modern play gyms...
AGAIN ,A GREAT VIDEO ! FOR A BIT OF CLARIFICATION FOR NON RAILROADERS REGARDING TOWN NAMES, AND USING PILGRIM AS THE EXAMPLE! WHILE THERE IS DOUBLE TRACK THERE, THE LINE IS A SINGLE TRACK , PRIMARILY. IN THE PILGRIM AREA ONE OF THE LINES IS DESIGNATED AS MAINLINE. AND THE OTHER IS DESIGNATED AS A PASSING TRACK. IN THE WRITING OF RAILROAD TRACK WARRANTS AND DISPATCH BULLETINS, TO DETERMINE EXACT SWITCHING LOCATIONS, WHERE NECESSARY TO PASS AN TRAIN OF OPPOSITE DIRECTION, OR TO ALLOW A FASTER TRAIN TO PASS A SLOWER TRAIN THESE SWITCHES EACH HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC NAME, TO AVOID-CONFUSION AND ACCIDENTS! THERE FORE YOU HAVE THE TOWN OF PILGRIM AND THE WEST SWITCH IS “ WEST PILGRIM “ AND THE EAST PASSING SWITCH IS DESIGNATED” EAST PILGRIM”! THERE MAY HAVE NEVER BEEN AN EAST OR WEST PILGRIM TOWN! ADDITIONALLY, THESE PASSING TRACKS CAN BE 4 TO 5 MILES LONG TO ACCOMMODATE THE NOW LONGER FREGHT TRAINS!
Cora is pronounced Corry just as Bona is pronounced "Bonny" (it's an Ozarks language thing). That probably explains why Cora was submitted as Corry; they spelled it as it is pronounced. My parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, a couple of cousins and a niece are buried at the Bona cemetery, and I own 6 plots there. Thanks for the tour down memory lane.
Perhaps Melville required a change to avoid people thinking it was a whale of a place and acting salty. Some of those roads made me wonder if one couldn't easily lost. Asking for a friend, you heard any banjos?
I was hoping he would go to the school & see the names out on the slabs. My Dad's name was on one of them, not sure if it still is. My Dad I believe was one of the 1st to graduate from the school (I believe that's what I heard) His picture was still inside the school last time I was there.
Here's my video about Greenfield I referenced early in this video: ruclips.net/video/-EBg5g2Z8CU/видео.html

Haha fair enough! SW Missouri is a very beautiful part of the state!
My hometown, I absolutely love everyone here and I'm glad you enjoyed it to

Nice job! These are great videos. I hope you continue east and south into the heart of the ozarks.
Thank you! I’ve headed west but hopefully will be back there someday!
I grew up and live in this area today, still pretty quiet and laid back. Used to swim at Dildays Mill, grreat representation of the area!
Wonderful area to visit and explore!
Not overly populated which is probably good. Looks like a lovely country setting. Love the sound of the water going over the mill.
Yes it was very nice! That old mill was outstanding!
Fine job, anticipating part 2. Very typical of rural Missouri, I bet city people are envious 😊
😊 thank you!!
Awesome video! Thanks!

@@TravelwithaWiseguy DRAT! Oh well, at least we are still getting good content!
The "Hudspeth" headstone in Pennsboro cemetery is my family! And my parents still live there on Z Highway!
AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT. THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!! Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of driving on the backroads in Missouri.
Thank you! Fun to drive those backroads for me too!

Great job on the video. Also your drone flying is assume.
*awesome, not assume.
Thank you very much!!
Great job keep it up. I live in Strafford Mo.been to Dadeville many times.
Cool, thanks! 😊
Great video! Very interesting towns. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you!
Awesome video Brother.
The wife & I need to road trip back up that way & follow the path you took!!
Great job, waiting for the next video.👏👏👏
Thank you! Beautiful area to explore!!

Interesting! And thank you! Yeah the drone helps with perspective a lot!
Great video, can't wait for part 2
Thanks!
Another great video! The driveway at the Pennsboro cemetery was an old horse race track before it was a cemetery I have been told
Oh wow that’s very interesting! Thanks!
This has been another interesting video. Thank you.
Thanks!

Thanks! Everton looks like a pleasant place to retire. Nice and quiet. Thanks for the video
Thank you!!
I live close enough to tell you that Everton is not a great place.
@@applicationuser9764 Whats wrong with it? Just nothing to do?
@@OdySlim pretty much.
Great job, keep it up!!
Thank you!!
Really enjoyed this trip! So many interesting things you showed us! Did you look in that trunk in that cabin?🤔 😂 Keep up the good work! Looking forward to Part 2!
Haha I didn’t look in there - actually I got stung by a wasp there! Luckily I wasn’t filming or it would’ve been bleeped 😂
@@TravelwithaWiseguy, I'm sorry you were stung dear. I got stung by a red wasp the other day- gosh it hurt!
Yeah that was the first time in a long while! Luckily we survived 😂
Oh no! So sorry! Yes, those are very painful! 😳 Hope the sting didnt last long!

I remember seeing a creek called Turnback, but it was somewhere in the Ozark area.
*Btw, Macks Creek is growing and there's some new, good folks out there.
Good catch! Yes it was 4th if July weekend and they were setting them off and I left that in there to see if anyone would notice 😂
The slab of concrete at Cory was a church. Arsonist burned it down about 20 years ago. My great grandparents are buried in Cory cemetery and I live in Dadeville. Thanks
Awesome info - thanks!

My Mother was born in South Greenfield, Missouri. Her Mother was a postmistress at one time till she lost her job to a man. God bless.

It’s always refreshing to see those in the small towns I visit. I see way more than I would imagine!

heyy thats is where i live
I live n dade County I can tell u some history about it if u want to know I was born and raised here
Is there any relationship between the Dade County name in Missouri and the Dade County name in Florida? Named after the same person?
Yes same guy!
Dadeville is a K through 12 school
I was hoping he would go to the school & see the names out on the slabs. My Dad's name was on one of them, not sure if it still is. My Dad I believe was one of the 1st to graduate from the school (I believe that's what I heard) His picture was still inside the school last time I was there.
ell i live in lockwood
Nice town!
I hear there's a lotta drug dealing going on in Dade county.
