Fairhope Alabama & Shux on the Pier
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- We enjoyed a relaxing Sunday drive down through Fairhope Alabama to enjoy some great seafood on the Fairhope Pier.
Nice little southern town with plenty to see and good restaurants. Only about a 20 minute drive from Gulf Shores.
Just another Sunday adventure away from the shop for us. I understand not all of my viewers care about these types of videos and I respect that. I hope those who don't can respect the fact I enjoy seeing the different sites, and bringing my camera along with me. I have fun with the editing and it's a different type of video from my normal machining content. There is a core group of my viewers who appreciate this content and one of the reasons why I continue with it.
We have many other places we plan to go visit, see, and explore. I hope those who enjoy these videos will continue to follow along with us. In a few weeks we will be going to the Florida Cavers, Falling Waters, and also Wakulla Springs, all really beautiful natural places that Northwest Florida has to offer.
Funny story; Many years ago was fishing a rock wall outside St. Pete, caught a feisty large pinfish, reeling it in I heard this noise, looked left and there was an entire flock of at least 20 Pelicans running FAST towards me, the noise was their combined duck feet slapping on the sidewalk with some croaking they were making, their wings were spread and mouths slightly open showing the huge sharp toenail like hook on their beaks, not expecting the mad rush it scared the crap out of me (remember the movie "The Birds"), I threw the fish at them and they all dived for it, then walked back to their perch atop a wall. I fed them like that for the rest of the afternoon, after the initial shock it was fun watching them all vie for the the fish treat.
Like your travel stuff. Can you check out Eden Gardens State Park its about 90 miles from you but worth a trip.
keep em coming not all of us can afford to explore the country so we enjoy seeing the spots around . plus for alot os us we dont know what to check out and getting the scoop from the locals is gold
Yeah man, don't stop posting this stuff. It may not get the most hits, but its a great break, and enjoyable.
Your videos of the gulf coast, with your lovely lady, are what set your channel apart from everyone else. Also, cooking for the family, in the backyard, with your dog, are golden. I'm a retired handle cranker, and I've seen enough machine work to keep me fixed for life!
Thanks Mark, I appreciate comments like that. These travel and exploration videos are my way of freestyling on my channel, and sharing with my viewers around the world what it's like along the Florida and Alabama Gulf coast. It's just something fun I enjoy doing.
Thanks Adam and Abby for bringing us along on your journeys.
The cuisine and history you bring us to is very enjoyable.
Great work.
Thanks again,
Steve,
It's really good to see you both enjoying each others companionship,and seeing other places. You both have great smiles. I also enjoy these excursions. Just keep doing what you do and life will reward you with copious amounts of joy.You both deserve it.
thank you again for doing this for all of us.
Very nice video thanks for sharing. I just love the South.
Love the video, so peaceful and relaxing to watch
thanks for sharing you two, keep them coming love the views good job
Man, I love your occasional adventure videos. You two have a refreshing down to Earth chemistry that makes it very relaxing to watch. Thanks
Thanks for taking us with you guys. Being on the west coast I'll probably never get a chance to see those places and I really love to see new places. Thanks!
Great video love the tree lined roads. Thanks for sharing.
Adam, lately I've noticed you've been making a lot of apologies and explaining your reasoning for things you do (because of some of the comments) on YOUR channel. While I appreciate some of it is politeness...you really shouldn't feel the need to do it. And if the comments are making you feel that way...then shame on them. We're along for the ride and I'd bet the vast majority of viewers are into you and your charisma as much as your great machining work. It's actually great to see you happy and enjoying your life (and letting us in to see) when you've given so much back to us in the way of learning. Keep up the absolutely fantastic work :D
Another good video. As much as I enjoy your shop videos, I enjoy your travelogues as well. Goood to see you getting out and enjoying life.
Thanks Abom and Abbybom! Love the tour vidz keep em coming!
It's nice to have someone to do things with. Work hard play hard,have fun!
Adam, there is no reason to explain about your adventures with Abby, I for one LOVE them, we get to see another part of the country that most of us will never get to experience. And if the ones that don't like them, you really don't need them as a subscriber if they are so critical of your videos. I watch each and every video, I'm retired and am a self taught poor machinist, and wish that You Tube existed when I was working, as I have learned so much from you and Fenner and Rucker, and all the others I watch, and who can complain, it's a wealth of info for FREE guys, so either watch or wait till he does and another shop video, and don't leave any negative comments. And who cannot get enough of those two wonderful smiles from that couple !!!
Thanks Matt! Glad you enjoy and thanks for the support!
Always good to put the work down and go enjoy life. Appreciate you taking us along for the ride, Adam - enjoyed the video.
Nice video, good food, beautiful area and a beautiful flag.
Beautiful looking area and some nice food.
Thank you Adam and Abby. These are great video's and very enjoyable. I've never been to the south east, so very interesting (we are in the north west). I looooove to your lunches and stuff, very cool. Please continue....
What a beautiful place. Thanks you two for sharing your adventure
I really enjoy these travelogues, it makes it seem like family "stuff." Also it lets the viewer get to know you as a person and I like them with Abby in the mix. Thanks for doing these now and again.
Once again much enjoyed, thank you. keep them coming.
I enjoy these adventure vids because I get to see parts of the country I wouldn't normally get to see. That beer did look mighty good too.
Adam,
I really enjoyed the video of you and Abby heading out to Fairhope. I have been there a few times and LOVED IT. Thanks for taking me back. There is an interesting story about the town and how it came to be. Here is a bit that I gleaned from Wikipedia.
"to establish and conduct a model community or colony, free from all forms of private monopoly, and to secure to its members therein equality of opportunity, the full reward of individual efforts, and the benefits of co-operation in matters of general concern." In forming their demonstration project, they pooled their funds to purchase land at "Stapleton's pasture" on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay and then divided it into a number of long-term leaseholds.[citation needed] The corporation paid all governmental taxes from rents paid by the lessees, thus simulating a single-tax. The purpose of the single-tax colony was to eliminate disincentives for productive use of land and thereby retain the value of land for the community.
I really like the video's with you and Abby.

Hey Adam ! I always enjoy your day trips with Abby . Thanks and keep em coming !
Love the Vlogs with Abby and you . You two seem like quite a match and it shows in the videos! Thanks for all you do, Adam. Love all the content you provide. Keep up the great work !
Hey Adam and Abby, thanks for taking us along. Just wish I could have indulged in that feast It looked delicious. I appreciate you guy's sharing your part of the world as I don't get to travel unless sent somewhere by my employer. I will never stop marveling in how good your roads are, up here it's pot holes and pavement heaves everywhere you go.
Most of the roads in that part of Alabama are kept up.
Very nice Adam. I've gone places in the South on your RUclips journey's I never would have seen. Beautiful country. Thank you!
I really enjoy the travel clips you guys take us on. You do a very nice job of sharing the sights and tastes of your part of the world. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next one.
Once again much enjoyed thank you.
you 2 show some amazing getaways , Loved it super enjoyed ! Thumbs up ..
Thank you for taking us along on your beach trip. Some times it's great to hang out with abbey and you out side the shop :-) Keep up the great adventures.
Great video, looks like y'all had a great time!
Hi Adam, really superb video quality, you musical choice is also superb, thanks for sharing. Kindest regards. Joe.
Thanks for inviting me along , I felt great going to the gulf.
Hi Adam and Abbey,
It is good to see that you are finally taking a break. It is nice to do things in the shop that you enjoy just stop and smell the roses before they pass you by. Take it easy my friend.
Bill from Seattle
I like to break at least on Sundays when I can. Some weekends we take to spend together.
Looked like a really peaceful place to visit. Great vid Adam! Please do many more!
Nice video Adam! I need to check that restaurant out next time I'm over that way. That platter had me drooling :D
Adam,
Thank you and Abby for the video it was so relaxing to watch you guys enjoying life.
I was just thinking that I wanted to see another Adam & Abby travel video, and here it is! (Abby Rocks!) Adam, you do a better job with these exploring videos than any travel show I've seen. Nice to see these sights in your area of the country. Please continue to make them. Those who aren't interested don't have to watch.
Love watching adventures of Abom and Abby
Wow Adam, I grew up in Fairhope in the early 80's much different then but I use to go swimming off that pier. In fact at 11:44 that store my brother and I would go burn quarters playing Galaga and Joust then go swimming across the street all the time...... thank you guys for the memory's Matt C.
I enjoy all the local sights keep showing them ..It's just part of your channel...
Glad too see u two enjoying time together. Abom u can not work all the time lol. Have fun
Great video, We stayed at the Microtel Hotel there at Daphne just south of 10 on 98 Friday night. probably 5 minutes or so from there. Wish I would have known that was there. We live in North Tx and loved our time there in that area. I can't wait to go back. The Tour at the USS Alabama was excellent except for the huge crowd Saturday. Thanks for these types of videos, it's because of you that I even knew about that area.
GOOD PEOPLE ! AMAZING MACHINIST SKILLS ABOM79, AND REVERENCE FOR YOUR FATHER & GRANDFATHER !
Thanks Adam and Abbie! That was a really cool video! I like traveling on 2-lane "country" roads instead of the freeway. You see a lot more scenery and stuff you may not see from the freeway. Due west of us on Hwy 92 is the town of Half Moon Bay. There are a bunch of sea food restaurants there and serve the fresh catch of the day from salmon to shrimp. Good stuff! This one place has home-made New England clam chowder. It is to die for!
Thanks again and hope to see some more of "The Adventures of Adam and Abbie"!
Have a good one, guys!
Dave
+Swarf Rat I love some good New England clam chowder!
it's nice to see other parts of the world i dont think i will ever get to see on my own so please keep it up
Nice day out, I'm surprised the pier wasn't loaded with fishermen, here in NYC piers and bridges get pretty busy. I have to admit I'd be fishing constantly there.
This whole area is a big fishing area. Any type you want. River, bay, offshore, and beach fishing. Lots of places to go.
Many thanks to you both!
I am pretty sure that bird was thinking about giving you a run!! lol
Thank you for these adventures. My wife and I used to take trips to Florida, Virginia and Louisiana. But with my bad back we can't travel that far from Southern Ohio anymore. We do have quite a few places of interest in Ohio that we haven't seen so far so maybe we could give you some heads up in case you come up to Zanesville again to visit John Saunders. Greg
Great video, It's nice to know you're an American Patriot judging from all the American Flags you showed in this video. I personally fly 3' x 5' American Flag 24/7, 365 days a year ever since 9/11/2001. Most of my neighbors do too.
That flag looked great! Had to get a good shot of it!
And you did!
I love your site seeing videos; I get to visit new places through your eyes :-)
B.T.W. Your videography is excellent !
Thank you Denis!
As good as Discovery/Travel Channel with a personal touch for those of us that don't git out of comfort zone.
Same as the machining with tools/equipment we wish we had.
Florida grins.
Important thing my father taught me.
Oh what a bird is a Pelican,
His beak can hold more than his belly can,
And I don't know how the hell it can...
Hey Adam, man that was just a nice easy breezy trip into the deep south bro. So relaxing and enjoyable. It's really great to see Abby participating in the travel videos - she brings a nice touch and perspective. It's also nice to see the adventurer side of you two, as well. So often we're in the shop and rarely take the time to get out and see what's around us. You both bring great meaning to the saying "get a life"! Thanks for all the great filming and editing, it's not all that easy but you make it look that way. See ya - Mark
Thanks Mark! Abby loves anything abotu traveling, exploring, seeing the sites, and art. She's always up for an adventure with me. We enjoy it together!
Hey Adam - Yesterday, I was actually thinking when you would have another road trip video. Today I log on, and there is the latest travel video. Not only an interesting place to visit, but you managed to get a BBQ video here! I enjoy all of your videos, metal, shop expansion, BBQ, travel ... Some viewers may not like all the videos, but I would guess that most of your viewers enjoy all. What's next?
Bummed that Shux closed. The Royal reds were great, the crab cakes and cheese grits were AMAZING!!
Good trip.
Thx for making this video I went there not that long ago and I went on that same bay and caught bull sharks and thx for filming the brown pelican because I saw two everyday I went there and I pet one :3
What a relaxing video to watch. These videos remind me of a time when my wife and I would throw darts at the map to determine our destination. Love the Spanish moss in the trees and I really miss that salty cool breeze after a storm. Great video and have you tried Tripletail yet?
I used to vacation along the gulf coast around the Sanibel Island area. I used to love hitting all the seafood joints down there.
I really enjoy all your videos. Only problem is now im craving sea food... lol. Seams abbey is opening up more yo the camera.
Nothing makes me feel better about being American that seeing ol glory in the breeze. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Adam, I love these and all your videos! It makes me feel like I'm there in the back seat along for the ride. Well done! Say hi to Abbey. Is it always humid down there or just in the summer? I'm in suburbs of phila. And the humidity is terrible in the summer. Was just wondering. Thanks again!
I'd need a nap after that.
Hi Adom, you always seem happy when you are with Abby !!
love the video's mice to visit with you
Very nice. Not many people for a Sunday. Places like that get smashed on the weekend where I live.
The back room had quite a big crowd there too. it was nice to not have to wait a while to be seated. I bet Saturday nights that place is much busier.
Nice video. Great scenery but what strikes me is the lack of traffic and the good roads. Very different to Wales although we have less traffic here than other pars of UK/.
I'm not a beach person. You know, the type that like to oil up and bake on sand too hot to walk on.
I am, after living for many year in Miami and Tampa, a beach life aficionado. There is nothing better than sitting on a restaurant veranda facing the water and drinking a Margarita (or a pitcher of Sangria) while a cool evening breeze quenches the sun's fire.
Take me back every chance you get.
I was in orange beach AL all last week, sitting around on the beach or at the pool. I didn't know your shop was around there I'd have hit you up and come had you guys over at the condo for lunch!
I could almost taste the seafood!
wow so great tour ! thanks for sharing t is ! Abay is a lovely women.
Hey Adam, just another guy who wants to let you know that I am fine with these type of Vid's.
The Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola is on my list of things that I want to see at some time. Long way from where I live, but maybe one day...
So all of your side trips are great interest to me.
Bon Appetite!!
Yall should go to the Grand Hotel Marriot Resort. They do an awesome little presentation about the history of the area every day. Yall would love it.
I enjoyed seeing another part of the Southern United States Adam & Abby. Can you tell me what "Hushpuppies would be? They were on the menu card for Shux"s restaurant. When I was at Exeter University in the UK circa 1960-1965 Hushpuppies were a kind of soft shoe, I'm sure they don't cook old shoes though LOL
Mcleod Duncan Hushpuppies are fried dough balls made from the leftover (unleavened) cornmeal coating used to coat the fish before they are fried. They are served as a side with the fish. However, the recipes have evolved a little over time so sometimes their recipe differs from the coating.
Thank you for the heads-up, they sound like very good eating, My Scots Grandmother would have called them "Central heating for kids",
because Scotland is cold. She only had the coal that was thrown at us after we insulted the train drivers. Good old days? maybe
adam good food an nice people cool.
Howsit going Adam i think that flagpole has seen better days what have you done to it or was it Abby practising ABOM torque?? hahhaha i'd love to go fishing there
GREAT -- MORE ABBY !!
excelent the music
Good Golly! Why is it every time I am REAL hungry and I click on one of your videos you are always eating some good sea food? I tried years ago to get close to there in a semi truck but failed. Went to the place closer to I-10 & 98 called cajun grill.
Should you ever get the chance, you should to try the following beers:
* Kulmbacher Edelherb Pils (Kulmbach, Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany) - pretty dry, but the perfect pilsner and - thanks to God - not of the extreme bitterness as e.g. a Jever
* Augustiner Hell (Munich, Upper Bavaria, Bavaria, Germany) - _the best_ beer you can get in the beer-capitol
* Maisels Weißbier (Bayreuth, Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany) - well, its a really great top-fermented wheat beer.
Adam & Abbie what were the multiple bird houses along the water near the pier? Purple Martians? Abbie & Adam are good people.
Honestly I don't know, I did not read anything about them.
Not that far from Santa Rosa Beach! Road trip😱
Good evening Adam I'm liking your adventures so I hope you do not open a travel agency, my friend.
At least Shux had the traditional southern blue porch ceiling, like it should be. There's a reason for that.
Gulf Shores is more beachy, too touristy and too many vacation rental condos.
Gulf Shores/Orange Beach/FloraBama is almost unrecognizable from what it was just a decade ago. 25% growth since 2010! Eastern Shore is same way... Daphne, Spanish Fort, and Fairhope (where I live), same 20%+ growth in less than a decade. One out of every four cars on the road didn't exist 7 years ago...crazy.
Yep that area is booming like crazy! That area of I-10 at Spanish Fort and Daphne is insane busy with traffic during the summer months. Too many people trying to get around, normal hyway travelers, and people trying to get to the beaches. Baldwin County is growing at a super fast rate.
Abom79 Yep, too much growth and congestion for me. I'm more of a Navarre guy or my favorite, Cedar Key. I'm with Abbey, tho...I don't care for my food to be looking back at me, either.😜😩
Probably at least partly some New Yorker's running from the crazy taxes, crazy Governor, and crappy weather.
Alabama has state income tax, which does keep some retirees away (mostly just seasonal retirees here for summer, with the tourists). We get a lot of in state folks and those from other southern states moving here. Florida on the other hand, they get lots of New Yorkers, New Jersey, and Californians. I'm originally from South Florida, but the invasion was bad and I got out. My family over in Santa Rosa Beach, just about all their neighbors are from other states.
Everyone's welcome, but don't move here demanding the same crappy ways you just fled from.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cooking shrimp with their heads on gives them more flavor, expect to buy them that way at the various independent fish shops along the gulf coast (support your local fish shop, they are a dying entity, victims of the big box stores that has already killed off most of the Mom & Pop hardware stores).
There are still many seafood market in the Gulf Coast region. I buy from mostly Joe Pattis and when I do its the Gulf shrimp. I don't by the imported frozen shrimp at the stores.
Please know these kind of comments are aimed more at those that live in other parts of the country that might be visiting (I often see vacationers at the local Wal-mart, etc. buying seafood), your local independent fish shop has the ability to sell fish, etc. that's not commercially available but can be purchased from recreational Fishermen (species such as Amberjack and Cobia that would almost never be seen in the chain stores). You're correct in your statement about places like Gulf Shores, etc., that's why my second home is "The Forgotten Coast", the area east of Port St.Joe to the northeastern part of the Big Bend.
Does anyone know a mini wargames in Fairhope
You said Pretty
If you guys like travel vlog channels u should check out Adam the Woos channel. Dig the travel blogs. Have a great Sunday Adam and Abby.
I live there 😂
10:45 it's not a duck it's a PELICAN
I'll be back, don't shut down my phone!
Who doesn't like pelicans?
I love watching you machine...but the raveloge stuff isn't my cup of tea!!! Best to you....Jack
No need to explain. I create the videos I want and enjoy it. Those who have interest in my travels outside the shop are welcome to enjoy.
On the otherhand it is nice to see Abby a little more. Does she ever hangout in the shop????? I'm not gonn a stop watching just giving my opinion.
