      I am really enjoying your Route 66 journey with Jacob. We are having snow here in West Virginia. Hope the weather doesn't get worse for you the further north you travel. I loved the Precious Moments place! The Route 66 rest stop was very unique. We go to the Steak n Shake in Pigeon Forge TN whenever we are down there. Their milkshakes are so good.

    This city of Pitcher was deemed a superfund site due to lead contamination in the soil and groundwater from the improper disposal of mining waste (that's the short answer anyway). My aunt taught there for many years. There was also an issue with the town sinking from the mining hole/tunnels under the town.

    Strange how this starts out with the eerie wholesomeness of Precious Moments and ends with the oblique Uranus references. You covered it all.

    I’m surprised you didn’t stop in Joplin since it is one of the towns listed in the famous Route 66 song. I am happy to see these videos. The husband and I traveled the Route for our honeymoon. We made it just on the east side of Arizona (starting from Webb City, Mo where we lived) before we had to turn back. We have loved seeing all of the same sights in your videos!!

  • @kirkhemmens1626
    @kirkhemmens1626 6 лет назад

    Hi Adam, Now you're traveling near my old stomping grounds. I grew up 30 miles north of Baxter Springs KS. The town of Pitcher OK was closed because of mining contamination. The piles of rock that you drove by are waste from underground lead and galena mining (galena is a mineral). The dust from the waste piles is highly toxic. Hope you didn't breathe deep while you traveled through. Actually takes years of exposure to be at risk, so the town had to be closed. It is said that you can fly a small plane through the mines underground from Cherokee KS to Pitcher OK and never touch anything. That's how mined out the ground is that you are driving over.
    I mentioned before how you would find the southern Missouri towns very interesting.
    And don't forget Silver Dollar City- a Hillbilly theme park in business since the 1960's. Maybe you can find the forgotten and abandoned parts of Silver dollar City. It was a tourist attraction when Branson MO was just a wide spot in the road. There are towns in Missouri where you literally feel like you go back in time 100 years when you visit there. Northwest Missouri also is interesting. Enjoy!

      It used to be much better. Mr. Butcher had a great dream - but moved away and it became “out of sight out of mind”. At one time they had a beautiful wedding chapel, a dancing waters show, and special music. There was a time when we wouldn’t think of going back to Galena, KS without a trip to the chapel. Yes - I grew up in Galena, KS and actually lived just off Route 66 and the Missouri/Kansas stateliness.

I can't wait to see more. Have a good day you two. Safe travels and thank you for everything you do. 🙂😎

Then the name of that roadside attraction, Uranus, I would not be able to keep a straight face going there. 😂😂😂.

    That Sinclair station is actually open to the public. Maybe you went by there on a day it was closed? I've been there countless times. Very very cool little place. There's a gift shop in the little white building next to the gas station.

    That building with the Pepsi and Mt. Dew signs on it, looks like part of it caught on fire at one point. You can see black soot above 2 of the windows.

    Hope you have a good warm coat. It's gonna get colder!
