      Another daily highlight of my day, Thanks Adam! I really think you made the right decision to get back on the road again, you've got that same spunk you had before moving to CA. BTW interesting factoid about Sam Kinnison, I never knew he was a preacher...I'm guessing Andrew Dice Clay must have been an alter boy...

    Adam...honestly I think that THIS is what you were born to do. I get to travel with you and learn the history of small town America without having to leave my living room. These kind of videos are my very favorite, and you get better and better each and every day. The addition of the little drone was genius. From one former Williams to another (and my oldest son is named Adam) have a great and wonderful day. Looking forward to tomorrow!!

I never lived in Oklahoma but love the state & very friendly people that live there! Take care Adam and hope you are truly are at peace & happy at being on the road again!

    • @MrJest2
      @MrJest2 8 лет назад +4

      Yes; he's clearly doing his best to be respectful of others. I have noticed that he's obviously asking if he can record people; sometimes they say yes, sometimes they say audio only, sometimes neither - for example he clearly had several minutes of friendly conversation with the cops near Mantle's place, but did not publish any of it. That's the way it should be done!

  • @captfenway9979

    This is great content. There's a very genuine quality to it that you don't find on RUclips anymore. That you're open to the wonders of the smallest things opens up a much bigger world. Thanks for sharing it with us. I haven't dug back deep enough into your vlogs to see if you've been to 4 corners (AZ, NM, CO & UT) but if not you should the next time you head back west. Of course it's so famous it's almost cliche' but still fun to see.

    • @algomaone121
      @algomaone121 8 лет назад

      Did you know that the four corners monument isn't on the actual four corners? The site is actually on an Indian reservation several hundred yards away. The big concrete stand and photo op center was put where it is for easy tourist access...so anyone who stands on that nice monument isn't actually in four states; I guess the builders figured no one would realize? So as a fan of geography, I give the Four Corners monument a big thumbs down!

    • @Blaziken36
      @Blaziken36 8 лет назад +2

      If you look at Google Maps or Earth, you can see the Four Corners Monument actually does fall on all four borders.

    • @MidagedgamerBlogspotter
      @MidagedgamerBlogspotter 8 лет назад

      +MENT ACLE Considering what a pain it is to get there from any of those 4 states as it's literally in the middle of nowhere on the Navajo reservation I think most would allow for a margin of error smaller than what you get from looking up an address on zillow.

    Just get better and better Adam...................... man your killing this road trip................. I feel like I have almost sat next to you in the van as you eat up the miles................. the mix of your own family memories and those of famous, and infamous people from the places you have lived, or visited over the past 30 years or so.
    Your looking so happy, even the corny one liners are making a comeback............
    i so want to watch that film now, can't get my head around how so many huge film actors were in that house in one time............. for you to actually stand there must of been a real buzz.
    Copy righted route 66 cookies................. thats awesome too, and they looked scrummy.
    As for walking in that civic hall and seeing the plinth that your Grand Father stood at was out of this world, and for you must of been awesome.
    The story of the wayward preacher had some irony to it......... thanks for sharing that, I hadn't heard of him, being from the UK and all.
    Well, looking forward to more tomorrow, happy travels Adam.

    This was awesome! I've been to that service stop outside of Tulsa--my parents, my grandma and I stopped there once on the way back from visiting my great-grandma in Columbus, KS. It was the early 90s, and back then it was just a McDonald's and a gift shop. I bought a necklace while we were there, and after we got home I had fun telling people I got it at McDonald's. The place looks great since they restored it--a lot more open. Thanks, Adam for taking us with you on your journey. Looking forward to tomorrow... :-)

    The REASON Picher, OK is abandoned is because the mining that was taking place there directly underneath the town has rendered most of it's buildings un-stable and ready to collapse. Also, there are huge piles of toxic waste material all over the place which are dangerous to even be around. The government even had to forcibly remove a few people who didn't want to leave. It's a fascinating story -----> www.wired.com/2010/08/ff_madmaxtown/

    The most random, yet interesting stuff I've ever seen on a RUclips channel. I Loved Evel K. I use to have the action figure and motorized bike. I'm a huge fan of the "then and now" phenomenon of landscapes and urban centres. I got hooked on your videos when I saw your visit to the Alamo shooting location, and your natural passion for exploring really shines through. I wish I was retired so I could do this sort of thing. Enjoy the rest of your road trip.

Well yesterday I started tapering down and by next week I will be off of it. I feel so much better now that I am drinking more water. Thank you for sharing your journey and weight loss, you never know how many people you might be helping by sharing your journey.

    Great one Adam! This video was full of goodness! I seen a documentary on Picher Oklahoma a while ago,If I remember right , The ground water is contaminated. I have stood in 3 states at the same time before, on Chain Rock in Pine Mountain , Ky. You can stand in Ky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. That is awesome that the outsiders house is being saved.

    Glad you got to see this! I've been trying to get ahold of you forever on this since your Dad said you used to live here as a young pup and knowing you have a baseball tag on your van. There are some abandoned buildings in Commerce and right beside the Mantle statue is the toxic water that comes from the Picher mines. It flows beneath the school which is amazing since the school is still used. That whole area is made up of several towns and there are still some buildings you can go in. The school for Picher is still there and the tribal police might have let you go in there if you had spoken to them. There are a few people still living in the area. The amazing thing about this place is how toxic it is and yet many of the things in the area are still consumed by people. Water, corn, honey and cattle are just some of those things. Great to see you here finally!
