- Our trip led us through Memphis so we wanted to stop by the Bass Pro Shop at the Memphis Pyramid to see it in person. A unique place to see for sure! Afterwards we head down to our camp for the night and fix our first road trip meal.
We've been having problem getting quality wifi to rely on and my 5G hotspot hasn't been very helpful either. We'll get videos uploaded any chance we can while traveling.

Any one else have black screen for over a minute? That is a really dark interior for a Bass Pro. The one in OKC is not that dark. I hope we can visit it some day. My husband used to live next to Graceland over 50 yrs ago. They used to play ball in back part of Graceland. There used to be an amusement part in West Memphis AR. Lake City are has great watermelons.
2 minutes
From 5:00 to 7:00
Yep
Mine did the same
Yup.
Ok they don't live in Memphis Bass Pro true I went to a Guns N Rose's concert at the Pyramid back in 91. When the FedEx Forum was built the Pyramid was abandoned for years and had fallen into decay.
"This definitely looks alot nicer than the rest of the stuff along this highway" Haha your right ABOM! I've traveled that area many times. Mammoth Spring is a nice area. Welcome back to Arkansas!
Glad you got up and left the eating establishment there. More people need to walk out when they are made unwelcome. Then these places will start correcting their employees. They need us, we do not need them.
And there is no need to get angry. Just be courteous and walk out.
If you're ever back through Memphis you would love Gibson's Donuts! The best in town! BTW, I am a new viewer and subscriber! Sorry to hear about the bad experience. Have safe travels!!
Gosh yes!!! I stop at Gibson's atleast twice a week and even sometimes for a late evening snack 💙💙💙
May just be me, but I've got a black screen between 4:58 and 7:04
Adam took a quick nap
@@Almightyrastus As long as he wasn't driving at the time I think I can forgive him lol
Sandra Westley uk yes, there was a big blank bit of film, don’t know why.
I’m in east Memphis for a few days on business… what a hole😒
I see the pyramid from my bedroom window😆😆😆！
I've got to go visit this Pyramid..when my son always passed this place he would show me the pic..he's a truck driver..very exciting..Thanks for sharing..💕💕💕
You're not crazy Abby, it feels dark and unnatural.
thats West Memphis, Ar
One thing I learned to keep things in place is to either glue magnets to each surface or use Velcro. In the military we used so much Velcro it was insane. I bet there was a mile of Velcro inside the aircraft.
I was awarded my engineering degree in that pyramid. The University of Memphis held graduations (and basketball games) there. Hope you enjoyed Memphis.
You didn't miss anything spectacular at Walburgers. We have one in Cleveland. The burgers really aren't all that great. It's just the Walburg's name on the building you're paying for lol.
You better be inside before it gets dark or the mosquitoes will carry you away.
They stayed in West Memphis I'm sure they learned just how massive the mosquitoes are here in Blues City USA lol 🤣
I agree with Wallburgers comments, I went one time only at Ramstein AB and it was weird
The times 4:58 to 7:08 is blank
Just a long road tunnel...
I saw that too.....
Not a very good advertisement Wahlburger.
Be glad the got the Hernando Desoto Bridge repaired before you started this trip, other wise you would have ended up in a very long two lane parking lot.
yeah there is like a 2 min black screen at like 6mins lol Prob because his internet problems!
thanks....I thought it might be just mine..thanks
They didn't want to show them finishing off the donuts
Wow Memphis all I see are Streamers at Disney World and Disneyland on here
Is it me between 04:59 until 07:08 black screen…
Yes it is
Apparently the Wahlburgers restaurant just opened (1st one in Tenn,}, NO excuse for the awful customer "dis" service.
It’s interesting what you said about being dark. We tried to go to several bbq places that were highly rated and didn’t even feel safe getting out of the car. My jaw hit the floor when my husband didn’t even want to visit the pyramid. He got the same dark feeling from the whole city. And he is a big fan of all things sporting goods. For him to just drive by and not even go says a lot! I agree it’s a gut feeling. Something ain’t right in that city.
You definitely have to watch your surroundings whenever you are in Memphis but there's always places like the commissary in Germantown just east of Memphis for some great famous bbq and also also in the top 50 of the safest cities in the US
Adam are you ever going to sell your Abom rub in your merch store? Love to try it.
Welcome back to my hometown. New to your channel. So glad the 40 bridge is back open. Bass Pro is amazing. Hope you enjoyed it.
Too bad you did not push on a hour to jonesboro. The city parks and recreation department has a great first come first serve lakeside RV park. By the way, you passed about a half mile from our place on the way to Mammoth Spring. If you had stopped I would have taken you to our new micro brewery. Jonesboro is 50 notches above Memphis/West Memphis when it comes to laying over.
You got that right just keep it moving on to Jonesboro it's so much better
Keep a close watch on your stuff there ,, crime central , I know ,,,,,,really !
West Memphis was worse than Memphis proper the last time I was in the area... and, that's saying something...
Add to your list Memphis gibson donuts
welcome to memphis. lived here all my life
Everyone can see there is a spark between these two, 👍 thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing with us Adam and Abby, enjoy your trip and stay safe. Fred 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
The history of that pyramid is interesting. We lived in a suburb of Memphis for 14 years. There was once an exhibit about the Titanic in the pyramid. It was one of the best I had ever seen. There was one part that was so well done, you could feel and see what the passengers of the Titanic likely saw and possibly what they might have felt. The pyramid was empty for years, until the Bass Pro Shop deal was finalized.
Adam & Abbi, Thanks For Taking Us Along With Y'all
Adam thought of everything...Abby I agree, it seemed really dark theme..... they have the lighting all wrong.
Thanks for the videos and have a great trip!
What ?? You guys didn’t go see Elvis homestead ??
I wonder how many bugs you get all over that there motorcycle lol.
LOL, every time I hit the road with my road trip buddies we start pretty much every morning with donuts!
Yea that's is Memphis unfortunately. Iv been once, and will never go back. The local government has erased it's history and culture, pandering to a very specific demographic. Crime has skyrocketed driving away people and businesses.
Also the camp setup looks sweet!
You should check out the metal working museum while you are there
Y'all are such a HOOT!!! LOL
It’s a cool place to visit in Memphis Tn
Been watching videos on my newer 4K monitor and I cant believe how clear your videos are. Tell Abby she has a gift. The background of the pyramid has some dark history and I wouldn’t doubt she felt something bad when she was there. I enjoying the video. Keep up the good work Adam.
Abby definitely has a gift of sensing things but it’s not something you can easily talk to others about.
Abby, what kind of work do you do on the road? I would love a remote job when I retire and we travel in our 5th wheel? Thanks, love you two.
I've never liked Bass Pro Shops either their staff is usually not helpful to new customers. I hope you guys avoid the fall out from Ida.
After traveling for 20 years, we have a routine when going to a new restaurant. Check the washrooms. If they don't take care of their washrooms, they don't take care of their kitchen. Plus if you get a bad vibe, run. Those two things work every time. Enjoying the adventure so far, hope you are too.
I adore Abby. She sounds so much like a very dear long-time friend of mine.
Hey new Memphis subscriber here and I just came across your video as recommend on Google! Absolutely loved the video! Hope you guys enjoyed your visit!! Safe journeys and look forward to watching alot more!!
Love you guys!!! So much fun watching your adventures! When we were in West Memphis, we stayed at the Tom Sawyer Camp Ground. It is right on the Mississippi River! Loved watching the barges and all going up the river!! Safe travels!!
Thanks. I’ll keep that one bookmarked for next time.
The Rendevous and Gus’s are RIGHT THERE! Memphis, with all its probs (maybe because of them), is one of the best eating cities in the US.
I have an all-purpose rub, too. It’s called Tony Chachere’s.
Get you some of those picnic food covers.
You need a tall cold glass of milk to go with that PB andJ !
We did FL, TN, LA , AL, AR, MS, and GA a few years back. Hotter than blazes but a fun trip. Stayed in the same KOA you did. Nice stop off. Love watching your travels. Getting ready to take off on a trip next week to break in our new Lance TT. Have fun and be safe!😊
I don’t blame you on the height fear, I’m a retired AF Vet and former aircrew and I get weak-kneed on a stepladder. I’ll go up in a plane all day long no problem but I don’t like being on ladders or at heights where I have to be near the edge. I’ll do it but I do not like it. I really like the interior setup in your RV with the cabin theme-really looks homey and comfortable. Good work Abby.
My dad was the same way about heights. Up in an airplane, no problem. Something like the St Louis Arch? Are you nuts?
Yeepers,,12 years in my youth (19-31) structural Iron-Worker hangiing steel & riding the "Pill" (Crane ball) and now @ 68+, a six ft ladder makes me nervous (@@)! My 2 surgeons said (Back & 2 hips) more people are seriously injured from ladder falls than car wreak's,,,that scarry stuff !!
Seems like you're always here! Welcome back and I hope you will enjoy your time a bit more next time! Very unlike Memphis to just have awful customer service like that!
Adam, you have 2 minutes of black screen beginning at 5:00.
Great video, my wife and I came back that route from Pennsylvania (work trip) but yes lol the roads are nuts. I do want to go see the Bass Pro, and I do agree it seems dark in the building. We also stayed in that KOA as our last stop on our way home to Texas.
I bought myself one of the "EMIRIL" grills and i love it,i use it more than our big oven in the house
Can't wait for that Abom All-purpose Rub to be on the market. Yum! BBQs are perfect with Coors Banquet.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure I love watching your wonderful videos I am from South Africa
@Invincible Osprey, you are right! When Abbey said she had a bad feeling about the Pyramid, I immediately said to my husband, she’s right! We live close to Memphis and lived through the building of the Pyramid. There were a lot of “sketchy” things that happened with it’s building.
On the way back hit The Dive on 45 in Buckatunna
Love the flat country..
we hit fort Smith when it stared snowing, and drove 6 days in slippery road, all the way to needles Ca.
Fun trip.. NOT ! 1970
Me too. Wonder what we missed. Also couldn't see anything in Bass Pro Shop.
I have been into places that are lit up more but feel "cold" or "dark". The girl or waitress was cold and unhospitable, which is a shame and not good for business.
You gotta love those big diesel engines. Pulling a trailer at 65mph and running at less than 2000rpm.
Hey Adam and Abby, great video again. I am really curious about your all purpose seasoning, would you share your recipe?
West Memphis isn't on my places to stop, had to work in the area a few times, that's enough for me.
Glad you checked out Bass Pro for everyone. Abbey if it feels dark there is a reason, stick with your observation.
How long is your trailer?
Boy that was good . And I’m hungry as heck the pork looks yummy . Man I’m hungry .
So you chickened out? Sad bro
Adam and Abby, you have got to try Memphis Bar-B-Q and take a look at Beale Street.
Hi I have a question I am a single mother and I am having a home built it is almost done. My old unit sat on a concrete pad but that was dug up when house was demolished. The new one the contractor installed is sitting on the little metal top that came in the box with the unit is that correct way to sit a unit? Thanks
That tenderloin looks good a couple grilled cheese sandwiches would have been awesome with that
Always trust your gut feelings. It is instinct kicking in.
Looks like fun show some bloopers you guys are too perfect
Looks like the bridge span going westbound over the Mississippi River is reopened. Remember the huge crack reported earlier in the span?
Everytime you head out on a Big Haul, you have hurricanes coming into the gulf coast. Hopefully is stays away from Pensacola. Have a great trip.
Yea the Gulf Coast is a nightmare right now. Traffic backed up down I-10. I’m glad to left.
Nice camp site!
We visited Memphis 2 years ago and we had mixed feelings. A few highlights Graceland, Sun Records and John played guitar in a club on Beale street. But felt a little sad that economically the area seemed to be in decline. Hopefully things have improved! Safe travels!~Cara 😊
It is not as bad as it was thirty or forty years ago. But crime is a problem. Unfortunately Memphis has developed a serious crime problem.
Boss relationship you two have got ❤️👌
You both make traveling so fun!
I’m two hours from memphis the bass pro shop is nice
It's always strange when the customer service people in a hospitality business like a restaurant don't understand their role.
Damn, sounds like you have a bit of a superiority complex. Yes, they have a job and should do it well just like everyone should do their job to the best of their ability, but you are coming off like you are better than people in the service industry.
@@Dave-in-MD No.
I like it how Abby gets her part in the video as well
I don’t like to pay to be treated badly either. Good move on walking out. Anything to the elevator??
We didn’t go. For one I didn’t want to plus they charge you for the ride up.
For what it's worth, they may have confused you about "5G"
The wifi at the campground probably includes the 5 GHz radio band, which usually has more bandwidth than 2.4 GHz frequencies. But it's not the same thing as "fifth generation" cell phone data.
I thoroughly enjoy your cooking!
Your donuts are called LOUKOUMATHES in Cyprus 🇨🇾.
That Pyramid was one of the biggest White Elephants that ever existed. It was a music venue at one time too. …. THAT DARK FEELING is dead on. It’s like that all over Memphis. The work ethic in that area is poor
If y'all get up near Indianapolis, there's a town about 30 minutes north on I65, Lebanon, that has the best donuts in the world. Titus Bakery. I live in Alabama, but my wife is from Lebanon IN. so I know about it. Krispy Kreme ain't even close..
East Memphis Arkansas??? Slight slip of the tongue…. You meant to say “ WEST MEMPHIS
Yep, y'all's video locked up , we're in black screen at 6:59 minutes..it's back on NOW. Whew
I want to say you two are such a great couple. One lucky guy...... I've found my self someone just as you Sir.... Be safe, Have fun, and please keep those video's coming...
We stayed at that KOA last month (camping cabin) as we were headed to New York. We really loved the campground and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Y’all enjoy
Abby it's the ghost of Sydney Schlinger who brought this place to memphis. It was a battle to get it built. Memphis Tigers played there until Fed Ex forum was built.
I used to work for a local bakery when I was in high school. That man was a really good man but he was exacting with his work and expected the same from his people. I'm telling you as far as doughnuts and the cakes that I had there wasn't better anywhere he was really good at what he did. It sad businesses can't compete with these big stores anymore. When he passed his son took over and did well for years but just couldn't keep up.
It natural to get funny/weird feelings about places sometimes. I'm not big on supernatural stuff being Christian but God gave us feelings for a reason.
That KOA looks nice the one here is pretty small but I was driving a Ready-Mix truck(cement truck). It was difficult to get around but I didn't go very far I was pouring a pad for a new office/double wide trailer. It would be really nice to have your own place to sleep once you get there. How much do they charge for renting a spot? Hope your road trip keeps going well. Can't wait to see what's next.
I've seen the "Metal Museum" at the I-55 bridge in Memphis...very cool!
It looked wrong. Commercialised & crass
Well, a Bass Pro Shop is a commercial business. The other BPS I have been to did not seem to be that dark though. I have an idea that the insides of the windows(all sides) are covered to help keep the heat load down on the AC system or the inside would be like a glass hot house.
We use our convection oven *a lot*. With only two of us, it is super handy to make everything from a full meal to warming up leftover pizza fast. Best thing is it doesn’t heat up the whole kitchen!
Enjoying the ride along with ya'll. Have a great time on your vacation. You 2 are so much made for each other. I can just feel the love..
I bet Adams got a crock pot strapped down in the trailer while he's driving will pork in it roasting as he drives
How did you know! Don’t give out all my secrets! 😅
Forresty forest style.
Nice!! Looked like an amazing pyramid....:-)
