Instagram- AdamTheWooATW Been on the road well over fifty days so far and kinda missing home and my own bed but the road still beckons . I really appreciate everyone who watches each day
No turning back now Adam. We're all on this trip with you together at this point wondering each morning when we wake up where we'll be visiting today. I watch as i'm drinking my morning fresh hot caffeinated beverage. ☕💻
Wouldn't miss the vids. I always have enjoyed your style of filming and the absolutely epic places you go. Always enjoy the exploring and congratulations on 50+ days in a row that's some dedication
These small town stops are why I watch this channel. It makes me realize some of the wonderful heritage of this country, and in other cases, how these wonderful places have been economically devastated because of the international mobility of labor.
I grew up in a small town, which is still pretty much a small town with a declining population. Big event was when a new Dollar General opened last fall. This story can repeat itself all over the country, Most people are in a hurry to get somewhere, and take the interstate. Always wanted to take US1 from Maine to Key West. It would take a while, but the things I would see along the way. Or US 50 from Ocean City, MD to Sacramento, CA. I could see you doing either one of these trips someday, maybe.
As someone who lives in Colorado, it's great to see the state from an outside perspective. I think many people who live here take these views and relics for granted, including myself. Wonderful Video!
Hello Adam. Thank you for bringing us along on your trip to Denver, Colorado. Amazing how you find places that have a historic past. Doc' Holiday's place where he passed away, the Saloon named after him; are places we could never visit ourselves. The small towns are interesting to see. Thanks for sharing their history. Safe travels.
Another good one. It is amazing how you find all of these "off the beaten path" places. Meandering around while the cars are flying by on the main roads in their "hustle and bustle" world. Thanks again for sharing all of your adventures with us. I am so glad you are able to do this. Just traveling wherever and enjoying your life. I love all of your videos but these are the ones I love the most. Waiting on more to come. Be safe and Happy Trails.
Great overview - I live in Carbondale which is 15 minutes from Glenwood. Thanks for showing our part of the world. Sadly too many people are moving here & we’re losing our small-town character & western culture. Relieved you made it through the canyon as tonight there’s a flash flood warning.
I got so excited to see a video from Colorado! I am a little sad that you didn't show Palisade it's SO beautiful with the Bookcliffs and Grand Mesa (which is also a beautiful drive) and one of my favorite spots and there's lots of history. Fun facts: my sister in law's family founded Palisade and my husband has relatives who live in the old Tuberculosis hospital that was there. I'm from Arvada, CO- which you drove through to get to Denver- but went to college in Grand Junction and used to stop at that gas station in Glenwood Springs on my trips home (it was a Conoco back then). One of the last conversations I had with my grandpa was about No Name and it makes me think of him every time I drive through the area but I've never been able to stop and look around. The long tunnel you went through is called the Eisenhower Tunnel and it goes through the continental divide. The Georgetown Loop is an awesome train that you can ride on and it has a tall bridge that can be fairly scary to those afraid of heights. It made me so happy seeing someone else admire Silver Plume as it's one of my favorite places here and Georgetown is just as cool and historic. Anyway, I hope Colorado treated you well and hope you want to come back!! Thanks for all of your fun videos and showing us the beautiful country we live in!! You're very much appreciated.
My husband is a rail fan and we have a beautiful poster of the Georgetown Loop in our home!! Thanks for showing us your travels and all these lovely small towns.
Welcome to our neck of the woods ( Denver area)- Colorful Colorado. Have a safe trip! As a native, you have shown us places that even we didn't know were there! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hey, neighbor! I'm from Arvada (and native) and loved getting to see what was around No Name, as I've never actually stopped there before. I really enjoyed getting to see a blip of our beautiful state!
I checked into hotels- once in Bali and once in South Africa- and strangers near the hotel desk identified my accent because they had also lived in Pittsburgh at one time!
Woo!!! Your so close to Ft.Collins Colorado. Come have a piping hot beverage and explore the home town of Harper Goff who helped designed mainstreet Disneyland.
Hi Adam, I live in the Glenwood Springs area. If you come through Glenwood again you can take a short hike up to Doc Holidays grave. It’s a short hike up a hill and it has a great view of Glenwood Springs. I always find it interesting to see a place I live through someone else’s eyes. Yeah, the down town area got a new bridge around 8 years ago. It was needed. The old bridge was very narrow and could not handle all the traffic. Have a great rest of your trip.
I love Glenwood springs. We would hike to hanging lake in the 80’s. I need to get back up there. My Mom moved from Denver to Salida so I haven’t been exploring Colorado on my time off like I should.
@@keithhavens6566 Hikng Hanging lake takes planning now. The trail is currently closed till June 25. You do need a hiking permit and it’s $12 but does include parking.
Hi Adam the contraption is for washing clothes the cog's you see on the top is called a mandle the clothes get ringed out through that hope that helps 👍
That adding machine at 15:45 was similar to what my parents had in the 1960s. They said they had it since the 1940s. I'm 68 now, and can remember using this myself. Then back in 1973, 4-function electronic calculators came out for about 200 bucks. Now, you can buy any scientific calculator for about 10 bucks.
That Windsor Hotel in Silver Plume is an bed and breakfast. My wife and I stayed there for our anniversary. It was great. Kinda like stepping back in history. I grew up just on the other side of the mountain from Idaho Springs. Outside of Central City. There's a road past there off of Golden Gate Canyon road that's named after my grandfather Norton Drive. Any way, welcome to Colorado! By the way, That Georgetown loop railroad is open to the public and you can ride the train from Georgetown to Silver Plume and back again.
That would've been the best backroad route. Idaho Springs to Russell Gulch through the old mine fields, then to Central City and on to Blackhawk and down clear creek to Golden. Best old timey drive in Colorado IMO, and so steeped in history
I have to say this series is filling me with joy. Years ago I traveled twice across the country from Utah to North Carolina and you are now showing some of my favorite spots we stopped at. I spent over an hour at the Grizzly River Rest area and still have great memories. My favorite picture of me and my dog was taken there. Keep up the great work.
I absolutely love the old towns of yesterday's time, the relix of it all calls to me too, i wished i was there by you, we'd have us a good ole time, looking and searching for the next thing that comes to us.. enjoy in the moment, when you showed the old washer and all the things on the shelves, you could actually smell everything that was frozen in time, i could... You read my mind, with the old miner at the end, blue pants, red shirt, i bet at one timeit was painted but with snow and summer it faded it away, now in it's orignal state minus the 2 arms, it blends in with the environment...hugs from wisconsin..
For me I sort of enjoy these unplanned adventures that you show us!! Old towns are pretty amazing as well as the beautiful scenery!! Colorado looks fantastic!! Thank you Adam!!
I think I need to switch to watching Woo vids at night because I want nothing else in the world right now but to fall asleep next to that stream in Silver Plume., and stay at that incredible little Windsor Hotel...damn. Amazing views, all of it. That was one crazy coincidence. Out of the blue synchronicities absolutely befuddle me when they happen, and leave me in awe. Maybe there is a rhyme and reason beyond what we will ever be humanly capable of understanding.... I guess all we can really do is enjoy what we can, and trust in the Grand Design. 👍
Mr. Woo you should make a trip up to Fort Collins sometime. Our downtown "Old Town" was half the inspiration, along with Marceline of course, for Main Street at Disney. It's beautiful up here you'd love it! Harper Goff grew up in Fort Collins.
Love Fort Collins and Loveland, Estes Park. I pretty much love All of Colorado- sorry Pueblo your on your own lol. Is the Ram skuller bar still open? Rasta Pasta? I need to take a weekend trip
@@keithhavens6566 Ramskeller is still here! Unfortunately Rasta Pasta closed a few years ago, I miss the smell of garlic coming out of that place. Old Town is more vibrant than ever, and of course Horsetooth Reservoir is still gorgeous!
@@9023gregb That’s it! In the 90’s they had a five dollar cover and nickel 40 oz beers- things got ugly! I loved Rasta pasta that makes me sad. I’m definitely going it’s been years . Most of my friends went to CSU and some to CU. So they have wars with each other, I think it’s hilarious
Thanks for sharing your journey through my home state! I miss it so much! My favourite thing to do when I lived in Colorado was to explore it as much as I could. Beautiful state to grow up in.
"No Name", a tiny community just outside Glenwood Springs inside the canyon, was named when a map maker "temporarily" inserted "No Name" as a place holder on the map until they learned the real name of the community. But there is no other "real name", so "No Name" stuck and is still used today.
Hey Adam. I watched many of your journeys over the years and as I’m in the UK I always appreciate the history and information you give. Particularly enjoying this long trip seeing different parts of USA and you having a few friends occasionally joining you and of course your lovely parents too. Stay safe and enjoy.
Hey Adam, we are having so much fun joining you on your road trip. Welcome to our beautiful state of Colorado. Sure hope you enjoy your time in this state. We live just outside of Boulder. It would be great to cross paths outside Disneyland. Thank you again for this wonderful trip. Safe travels.
Loved living in Colorado years ago in Golden, Colorado. I believe that bird you saw was a Magpie. You should go up into the mountains via Rt 70 and check out the little mining towns.
I live right below Morrison and go to Golden about once a week and I will never move. Absolutely love it. Unfortunately a lot of Native’s to Colorado are having to move it’s so expensive.
@@MsCDWeasel absolutely! My Mom moved from Denver to Salida about 20 years ago so I go there often, just the drive up 285 is Amazing. Almost see the moose on Kenosha pass every time now. Think I’m going to buy property in Crestone- Beautiful little town in the middle of nowhere.
@@conniecrawford5231 thinking of magpies I think there was a cartoon that had a magpie dude it was a funny cartoon I can't remember the name of it though it's only been about 54 years ago.
It was an old washing machine in that Post Office. Looks like one my grandmother use to have. There's a ringer on the top for squeezing the water out of the clothes before you hung them out on a clothesline to dry.
Hi Adam, Thank you for this video in Colorado. My husband and I will be making the trek to see the Georgetown Loop in September, along with seeing the Durango-Silverton railroad and a trip on the Cogs railway going up Pikes Peak. Looking forward to this trip along with seeing family. Keep up the good work, I love your videos.
Hi cheryl. IF YOUR INTO RAILROADS AND SINCE YOUR GOING TO BE IN THE AREA. THERE IS A GREAT RIDE AT LEADVILLE COLORADO. HIGHEST IN ELEVATION AND MAYBE AN HOURS DRIVE FROM GEORGETOWN. BEAUTIFUL SMALL MINING TOWN. ENJOY YOUR TRIP AND GOD BLESS🙂💫💫💫
Hi Adam - for those of your viewers that are train enthusiasts and just love mining towns in general, I highly recommend the Georgetown Loop railroad and the town of Georgetown. I’m not sure exactly where you saw that train but Georgetown is way up high, I believe over 9000 feet. I was there with my family once in the way to a family reunion near Fort Collins, which is my moms hometown. It’s really beautiful.
Cool my husband and i took a road trip to Avon and Eagle a couple of years ago. Beautiful scenery!!! Also side note that Rio Grande Caboose is a orginal as you can get the caboose on a train was used for train crew to rest on long trips 2 engineers a switchman plus those seats ontop were for the firemen to watch for burning embers from oldtime locomotives back when you had a lumber tinder behind the locomotive and all rail cars were made of wood. Trains serviced cabooses out by the mid eighties.
Thanks Adam, great views I would have never seen without you going through there! This retired man appreciates what you do for us who can't get to these places.
Adam, I went to silverplum CO a few years ago. The town during the gold rush made the roads out of the non gold dirt from mines. A gemologist came by and noticed all the silver deposits in the roads. Next week or so the roads had pot holes.
Adam I am a trainman at the Georgetown Loop RR, Ive watched for years we live in Georgetown swing by and Ill take you through the shop and back scene areas at the train!
That empty mining town you found in the Loveland Basin in the Colorado mts. Was astounding, ad well as the view. Great powers of observation on the trestles!!!The beginning with the Doc Holiday homage was a very cool find!!!Your videos are fabulous for travelers, especially those interested in seeing special out of the way places, which you thrive at!!!Attaboy, Adam the Woo!!!!!!
The Stanley Hotel is in Estes Park, Colorado where Stephen King's 1980 movie The Shining was filmed. I went there a few years back. They have a nice little tour around the inside of the hotel and even under it where you have to be in the tour to see. Check it out, shall you.....
OMG you are in Colorado!!! For sure it will be my favorite episodes…I’m from Brazil, but I lived in Colorado twice. And it’s my favorite place in the world!!! Can’t wait to visit Denver again ❤️ Thank u for this!
I appreciate this video. Mostly because I was born and partially raised in Colorado. Its so nice to see my home state... and I can vicariously see it again through the eyes of amazing adventures such as yourself. I am well versed in Arvada, golden, wheatwridge, Stapleton, a good chunk of the mountain range and my personal favorite, the Moffett tunnel.
Driving from Santa fe to Antonito Colorado was an experience for me. There was one little diner between and it had been shut down for years. It was like something out of a movie
My Grandmother had one of those washing machines with the roller on top to run clothes through and squeeze out the water. As a kid, she would always warn me not to play around with the machine because, if you catch your fingers in the running roller, they could become "mangled", hence why the machine was known by many as the "Mangler". Later models had a safety clutch installed to mitigate the undesirable effects on your fingers, but not on my Grannies!
12:46 vintage washer and dryer...back in the day my mother would borrow a neighbors W/D (smaller than this one). One day my mother was ringing out the clothes and a finger got caught in the rollers. I remember the scream. Someone pulled the plug before much damage was done.
Hey Adam love the small towns you go to you really should come too Brownsville Oregon its amazing, stand by me was filmed there in the 80s, but the town is stuck in time, its really cool!
Thank you for the video! I live in Colorado Springs, I have driven I 70 from Denver to Grand Junction many times, but never stopped to check out the cool stuff along the way. Thank you for taking us with you!
Love your travels thru my adopted home state of 47 year's. Colorado...... You really showed some of the most original and authentic parts on the eastern slope. I've been to all of the area's you explored ( several times) Just beautiful 🥰 Thanks for coming! Hope you check out the western slope.... Also very beautiful.... Paonia, Palisades, Fruita, Garfield .... all outside of Grand Junction just beautiful they've now made it wine country but way back in the seventies I picked fruit there peaches, apples, cherries, apricots, pears beautiful orchids if you have time you should check it out 😍
Hello Adam. Thank you for your time in all you do to provide excellent content for so many of us to enjoy. I personally have been watching you since your living in the van days. Still look forward to your adventures after all these years. Golden Colorado is worth a visit. Especially to the area frozen in time. My comment is ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,over.
Hey you..get a good night sleeping tonight...and just think about this...you are all alone...doing this job...it’s a job..it does not have that instance gratification like building a house..after a days work....but believe me....you are doing so much more towards our mental state...letting us into your world with a glimpse of how great our country is....have peace of mind.... you as a person to us, MATTERS ...peace my friend...
I could tell you were in Glenwood Springs from the view of the river and Red Mountain. I lived near Aspen for 27 years and shopped in Glenwood almost every weekend. I want to move to Utah before I get to old. Have a good trip Adam.
Oooooo I love silver plume !!! There’s a little bar there called bread that’s so gorgeous. I also love the museum of the town. Lots of antiques and I made friends w the woman who was working (who also offered to sell me her house in silver plume lol)
That flowing River reminded me of our cross country trip through Veil Colorado in May of 1985 when the snow was still on the ground barely melting away. Beautiful scenery all around. That river is one to be careful with. The old trains and mining towns were awesome. Thanks for taking us along. Great memories for me getting to spend the night & pass through Colorado. ❤️🙏🏻
When I saw the rest area at Glenwood Springs...nostalgia hit hard. Every dog my family has been blessed with has been there. Wee have many family vacation memories of driving through the mountains on the I-70 from Colorado to California and and back. If I am not mistaken, Eagle, Colorado is nearby. Best camping trip ever! Thanks for visiting our beautiful Rockies!
What an awesome day trip today. unbelievable you met a person who was at the same game as you were in Florida up in a little town of silver in Colorado! Come on now… Pretty cool.
I'm so glad you're in Colorado, my home state. We couldn't make it out there this year so this series helps! Enjoy this beautiful state! ... Denver traffic is insane though.
I’m a Colorado native and I’m just blown away by all the comments from people in Colorado. Probably because I’ve been watching since he did abandoned places. The Whoo has blown up
Go to Meow Wolf when you get to Denver. Seriously. Meow Wolf. I was there in February and wanted to post a video but it was so amazing I got overwhelmed. Go, go, go! Love Meow Wolf!
Looking for Glenwood Springs hot pool. Always a favorite. And in Silver Plume up stream 1 block was a old school museum and a park across the road. Love the railroad stop. Free and fun to watch the train come in Thanks for video.
Any time traveling like this, if there was a creek or stream, we had to stop so mom could put her hand in the water. Lot of good memories of roadside breaks along creeks and streams.
I am from Colorado it was nice to see our state from someone else eye and what we take for granted. Also to let you know Georgetown was in a movie call the Christmas gift staring John Denver
Thanks so much for all this Adam. I have hiked in those mountains and actually it can be quite dangerous when it comes to old mine shafts. Some are fenced off with warning signs and many aren't. The trestle coming out of the weeds might lead into a mine that would look inviting to venture into, but no way. There are groups of men who do that, but they are experienced and prepared. Mines can extend for a long ways into the mountain.. I appreciate your interest in the small towns that were bypassed by the interstate. great video.

Hey woo film denver international airport
These small town stops are why I watch this channel. It makes me realize some of the wonderful heritage of this country, and in other cases, how these wonderful places have been economically devastated because of the international mobility of labor.

You hit the nail on the head with suggesting that the little town you were in should be a movie set. (same thing I was thinking)

Being a Michigander I love seeing the Mountain states videos. I have vacationed in the mountains several times. Nice vids, keep it up.
I absolutely love this video. Watching it is like I’m on vacation with you.
It was an old washing machine in that Post Office. Looks like one my grandmother use to have. There's a ringer on the top for squeezing the water out of the clothes before you hung them out on a clothesline to dry.
Love that route in Colorado! Georgetown has the railroad and Idaho Springs is a wonderful historic area. So fun traveling along with you !
Hi Adam, Thank you for this video in Colorado. My husband and I will be making the trek to see the Georgetown Loop in September, along with seeing the Durango-Silverton railroad and a trip on the Cogs railway going up Pikes Peak. Looking forward to this trip along with seeing family. Keep up the good work, I love your videos.
Hi cheryl. IF YOUR INTO RAILROADS AND SINCE YOUR GOING TO BE IN THE AREA. THERE IS A GREAT RIDE AT LEADVILLE COLORADO. HIGHEST IN ELEVATION AND MAYBE AN HOURS DRIVE FROM GEORGETOWN. BEAUTIFUL SMALL MINING TOWN. ENJOY YOUR TRIP AND GOD BLESS🙂💫💫💫
Hi Adam - for those of your viewers that are train enthusiasts and just love mining towns in general, I highly recommend the Georgetown Loop railroad and the town of Georgetown. I’m not sure exactly where you saw that train but Georgetown is way up high, I believe over 9000 feet. I was there with my family once in the way to a family reunion near Fort Collins, which is my moms hometown. It’s really beautiful.
Hi Adam it was my Birthday Thursday, you make my day more special with your adventures, love you
I lived near Silver Plume back in the early 90's. There was a bakery that made the BEST home made Dill bread I ever had.
Cool my husband and i took a road trip to Avon and Eagle a couple of years ago. Beautiful scenery!!! Also side note that Rio Grande Caboose is a orginal as you can get the caboose on a train was used for train crew to rest on long trips 2 engineers a switchman plus those seats ontop were for the firemen to watch for burning embers from oldtime locomotives back when you had a lumber tinder behind the locomotive and all rail cars were made of wood. Trains serviced cabooses out by the mid eighties.
I grew up in Ruidoso NM in the late 70's and early 80's. That small village you found reminded me of NM
"I'll be your huckleberry" my favorite Holiday quote! Awesome!!! Great video...beautiful state!
Thanks Adam, great views I would have never seen without you going through there! This retired man appreciates what you do for us who can't get to these places.
Very enjoyable video today Adam. Colorado is such a beautiful state. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Rocky Mountain high! I will forever miss John Denver !
Can’t wait for tomorrow 🫶🏻 been years since I traveled to Colorado miss it
The Avon machine is a washing machine- the wringer on top prove it!!
I have been enjoying some old Woo videos lately, the bicycle crash, and the video reviewing the video of the crash were quite entertaining!😂
Lol I think I’ve watched them 20 times just epic, never gets old. The beaver poop is hilarious too
@@keithhavens6566 I'm gonna have to watch the beaver poop one...
Adam, I went to silverplum CO a few years ago. The town during the gold rush made the roads out of the non gold dirt from mines. A gemologist came by and noticed all the silver deposits in the roads. Next week or so the roads had pot holes.
Adam I am a trainman at the Georgetown Loop RR, Ive watched for years we live in Georgetown swing by and Ill take you through the shop and back scene areas at the train!
Just drove thru that area last week. Absolutely beautiful out there. Have fun in Colorado!
That empty mining town you found in the Loveland Basin in the Colorado mts. Was astounding, ad well as the view. Great powers of observation on the trestles!!!The beginning with the Doc Holiday homage was a very cool find!!!Your videos are fabulous for travelers, especially those interested in seeing special out of the way places, which you thrive at!!!Attaboy, Adam the Woo!!!!!!
The Stanley Hotel is in Estes Park, Colorado where Stephen King's 1980 movie The Shining was filmed. I went there a few years back. They have a nice little tour around the inside of the hotel and even under it where you have to be in the tour to see. Check it out, shall you.....
I used to live in Longmont CO about 32 yrs ago for a year. Which is about 20 miles North of Denver.
I miss the Rocky Mountains... 😞
Most beautiful yet !!!🌾🔱🥸🍀☝🏻🐝
I remember Dad driving that road before there was a Tunnel 🌹
That is a Washer 🌹
You should have ridden a bike down that steep path to the river, sounds like great fun!😁
OMG you are in Colorado!!! For sure it will be my favorite episodes…I’m from Brazil, but I lived in Colorado twice. And it’s my favorite place in the world!!! Can’t wait to visit Denver again ❤️ Thank u for this!
Cheers 🍻 from Denver, Colorado. I live right below red rocks
I appreciate this video. Mostly because I was born and partially raised in Colorado. Its so nice to see my home state... and I can vicariously see it again through the eyes of amazing adventures such as yourself. I am well versed in Arvada, golden, wheatwridge, Stapleton, a good chunk of the mountain range and my personal favorite, the Moffett tunnel.
I'm from Arvada (and still live here lol).
which part of you wasn't raised in Colorado? lol.
Driving from Santa fe to Antonito Colorado was an experience for me. There was one little diner between and it had been shut down for years. It was like something out of a movie
My Grandmother had one of those washing machines with the roller on top to run clothes through and squeeze out the water. As a kid, she would always warn me not to play around with the machine because, if you catch your fingers in the running roller, they could become "mangled", hence why the machine was known by many as the "Mangler". Later models had a safety clutch installed to mitigate the undesirable effects on your fingers, but not on my Grannies!
12:46 vintage washer and dryer...back in the day my mother would borrow a neighbors W/D (smaller than this one). One day my mother was ringing out the clothes and a finger got caught in the rollers. I remember the scream. Someone pulled the plug before much damage was done.
My favorite two places to visit in Colorado are the Stanley motel in Estes park and bishop’s castle. They are super neat to visit
Bishops Castle is spectacular!
Hey Adam love the small towns you go to you really should come too Brownsville Oregon its amazing, stand by me was filmed there in the 80s, but the town is stuck in time, its really cool!
I do need to get there one day
Thank you for the video! I live in Colorado Springs, I have driven I 70 from Denver to Grand Junction many times, but never stopped to check out the cool stuff along the way. Thank you for taking us with you!
All of Colorado is absolutely beautiful! Except Pueblo lol
In a cavern in a canyon, excavating for a mine, lived a miner 49er and his daughter Clementine! 😁🙋It just came to me...?
Also very cool that you mentioned the Montgomery Biscuits as I live in Alabama not far from there!
Love your travels thru my adopted home state of 47 year's. Colorado...... You really showed some of the most original and authentic parts on the eastern slope. I've been to all of the area's you explored ( several times) Just beautiful 🥰 Thanks for coming! Hope you check out the western slope.... Also very beautiful.... Paonia, Palisades, Fruita, Garfield .... all outside of Grand Junction just beautiful they've now made it wine country but way back in the seventies I picked fruit there peaches, apples, cherries, apricots, pears beautiful orchids if you have time you should check it out 😍
Hello Adam. Thank you for your time in all you do to provide excellent content for so many of us to enjoy. I personally have been watching you since your living in the van days. Still look forward to your adventures after all these years.
Golden Colorado is worth a visit. Especially to the area frozen in time.
My comment is ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,over.
Your in my neck of the woods I'm about an hour from Denver, Thanks Adam for what you do.
Omg this looks amazing. I lived in Colorado but in the eastern part and never got the chance to go into the mountains. Thanks for sharing Adam! ❤️💜💙✌️
Hey you..get a good night sleeping tonight...and just think about this...you are all alone...doing this job...it’s a job..it does not have that instance gratification like building a house..after a days work....but believe me....you are doing so much more towards our mental state...letting us into your world with a glimpse of how great our country is....have peace of mind.... you as a person to us, MATTERS ...peace my friend...
I could tell you were in Glenwood Springs from the view of the river and Red Mountain. I lived near Aspen for 27 years and shopped in Glenwood almost every weekend. I want to move to Utah before I get to old. Have a good trip Adam.
Oooooo I love silver plume !!! There’s a little bar there called bread that’s so gorgeous. I also love the museum of the town. Lots of antiques and I made friends w the woman who was working (who also offered to sell me her house in silver plume lol)
That flowing River reminded me of our cross country trip through Veil Colorado in May of 1985 when the snow was still on the ground barely melting away. Beautiful scenery all around. That river is one to be careful with. The old trains and mining towns were awesome. Thanks for taking us along. Great memories for me getting to spend the night & pass through Colorado. ❤️🙏🏻
love to se all your video , alle the older Town, Its fun , Love from Norway 👏👏👍
Adam love seeing America through your videos l live in Australia keep up the good work
When I saw the rest area at Glenwood Springs...nostalgia hit hard. Every dog my family has been blessed with has been there. Wee have many family vacation memories of driving through the mountains on the I-70 from Colorado to California and and back. If I am not mistaken, Eagle, Colorado is nearby. Best camping trip ever! Thanks for visiting our beautiful Rockies!
What an awesome day trip today. unbelievable you met a person who was at the same game as you were in Florida up in a little town of silver in Colorado! Come on now… Pretty cool.
That was and old time wringer washing machine in the post office
You are out doing yourself Adam. Great job.
I'm so glad you're in Colorado, my home state. We couldn't make it out there this year so this series helps! Enjoy this beautiful state! ... Denver traffic is insane though.
Cheers 🍻 Colorado native. Not many of us left
Native here and yes Denver traffic is insane!
I've been following you for well over 10 years- probably more. And you're finally in my home state! WELCOME!
I’m a Colorado native and I’m just blown away by all the comments from people in Colorado. Probably because I’ve been watching since he did abandoned places. The Whoo has blown up
Lived here since 2006 and it is so green going into july. Never seen it like this, but the amanita's are sure to bloom.
Go to Meow Wolf when you get to Denver. Seriously. Meow Wolf. I was there in February and wanted to post a video but it was so amazing I got overwhelmed. Go, go, go! Love Meow Wolf!
We really appreciate the explorations, Adam! Good thing your footing was sure, there were a couple opportunities to slip into the river today 🙂
Hey Adam! Welcome to Denver! I hope I run into while you’re here! 😁
I was thinking the same. Denver 🍺✊ wish he was having a meet and greet
What a beautiful place 🤗
Looking for Glenwood Springs hot pool. Always a favorite. And in Silver Plume up stream 1 block was a old school museum and a park across the road. Love the railroad stop. Free and fun to watch the train come in
Thanks for video.
HELLO FRIEND!!! I hope you stop by our Colorado IN and OUT that finally came here... see if there as good as the ones on the coast!!!
Absolutely love all the cool stuff you find along the way..it's a small world after all" ✌🕶
Any time traveling like this, if there was a creek or stream, we had to stop so mom could put her hand in the water. Lot of good memories of roadside breaks along creeks and streams.
I am from Colorado it was nice to see our state from someone else eye and what we take for granted.
Also to let you know Georgetown was in a movie call the Christmas gift staring John Denver
That was a good looking International Scout red vehicle!!!!
Thanks so much for all this Adam. I have hiked in those mountains and actually it can be quite dangerous when it comes to old mine shafts. Some are fenced off with warning signs and many aren't. The trestle coming out of the weeds might lead into a mine that would look inviting to venture into, but no way. There are groups of men who do that, but they are experienced and prepared. Mines can extend for a long ways into the mountain.. I appreciate your interest in the small towns that were bypassed by the interstate. great video.
I was raised in Colorado. Different now. Beautiful state. I’ve been to where u are reporting from. Ty
The rollers kind of leaves to believes that is a washing machine. TOO COOL!!!
