Loved your news about Seligman, AZ on Route 66 and it being the inspiration for Cars. My 23-year-old son, who was born with Autism, was just Over the Moon with that news! He told me to tell you ' Thank you'. You made his day, Adam! Drive safely!
While I love nearly everything you do (not a huge theme park person) and I LOVED the baseball games....THIS is where WOO are the best! Just the open road, and what happens happens..... I can't wait for more!
It is obvious that you are enjoying being on the road again. Looking forward to your content starting the first of the year. I can tell you will be happy! Thanks Adam for bringing us awesome content and sharing your joy of being on the road. Safe travels!
It's good to see Adam with his mojo back. He clearly lives for this type of stuff. This is also the reason why I started watching him to begin with. Classic ATW right here.
As a "railfan," I appreciate your efforts documenting the trains and the museum railroad equipment. Most people of this country are unaware of the importance of the rail industry that bring the goods and food to our ports and rail yards. Then offloaded to be trucked to our stores like the "Cosco" containers captured in Adam's vlog today.
About 10 minutes into this video I had been eating my lunch at work, and all of a sudden I felt my left hand just relax. It had been clenched solid and I didn’t even realize it. Thank you for this quiet moment just observing and listening to the world.
We moved to Kingman a bit more than a year ago, and have been having fun visiting all these sort of locations up and down 66 from here. Also, the trains have been running 24/7 probably about as close together as is safe - maybe 10, 15 minutes apart. My guess is they are doing their part to try to clear up the clogged ports in SoCal, as well as on the East coast...
TFS, I lived in needles 14 year's ago..My daughter needed brace's, her orthodontist was in Bullhead City, AZ..There was a lady who worked at the orthodontist, who took care of paperwork, as we where sitting in the office, I noticed a picture of the SnowCap. And of course made a comment on how neat it was..She told me it was her family's business..I thought that was awesome..she also said her Dad who ran the Snowcap with other family had passed away few years before.. I thought that was very sad., but she assured me the SnowCap was still open & serving ppl..One day I had hoped to have eaten there.. anyway long story short. She sent me a signed Postcard of the SnowCap. I've cherished for year's..I also came across a Arizona High way magazine featuring The SnowCap on the front page..It's awesome to have a piece of Nostalgia & History of Route 66..and actually meeting pretty famous people 😊🤘..The video brought back some memories. I love Route 66..Safe Travels, oh one day I hope to go to Buc-ee's😂
It’s actually really nice to see those containers on the train making there way from the Port to empty shelves across the Country. You’ve given us “breaking news” haha. Well done.
Adam, I've lived in Germany for just over one year, but the American West is still my favorite place in the world. On days like today when I feel homesick, watching you wander around those vast expanses-- even places that I've been-- is a vicarious joy!
Hey fella! I live in germany as well but im currently back in america. Travelled from georgia to tucson az and left I40 for route 66 in amarillo tx. Nicest little place ive visited was lincoln new mexico and the entire mescalero county. Compared to germany the gas is still cheap here haha! Im flying back to munich germany today.
I LOVE the long, ambient takes. I’ve long enjoyed when you give us a long, sound field endings, after your outro’. So well crafted. Just Awesome! Can’t wait for your new journeys. Stay safe, and travel well, Mr. A’Woo.
Mad Max Thunder Dome was filmed in my home state, South Australia. Although the country you are driving through is very similar to a large proportion of it, just more populated. Safe trip Mate.
I finally did a portion of rt 66 in Arizona in 2019 because your road trip videos inspired me, but next time I want to go from the CA/AZ state line to Barstow. My family use to take day trips to Vegas when I was young and I always saw the signs for rt 66 in the Barstow area and I always wanted to drive on it but we never did. I have my own family now and we started taking road trips because we have a dog now and being on the road is so therapeutic to me, especially the American southwest. I’m doing Needles to Barstow next year when the kids finish school.
Heck yeah! On the long lonesome road again! I'm excited to get out of the parks. I started watching Adam when he went on a road trip with The Carpetbagger back in the day. Great times!
Thank you for these videos. I can live vicariously through you and your adventures. If I were doing it all again, I would have a hard time saying no to the way you've chosen to live your life. Thank you for sharing!
I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this Adam! Just like you did. Felt like II was there too. I love Trains. I could watch them all day. And the old town, cars. And those bottles were cool. There is just something magical about the quiet of adventure. Peaceful, calming, good for the soul! Safe Travels!
Dear Adam, Your sense of adventure, your introspection, and outright joy for life that you've decided to share with us are incredibly captivating. I wish you nothing but safe travels, and great memories made, I look forward to following along with you on your journeys here on RU-vid. All the best my friend!
Adam, yes a lot of other youtubers have done the "Route 66" video series on their channels. However, YOUR previous Route 66 series has always been my favorite! I have done Route 66 myself 5 or 6 times and I always loved those trips. When you're on Route 66, the road trip is part of the vacation itself. Any other road trip is just the road you take to get to a destination. Of my 5 or 6 times on the mother road, I have always missed the last 100-150 miles on each end. From where I get on, to where I get off, I've never officially done the entire Route. Next time I plan to go out of my way to OFFICIALLY make the ENTIRE length of Rout 66. Thanks for the videos, Adam!
A few years ago I was laid off, so for the first time in my adult life I didn't have to go to work. I also had three weeks of vacation time, six months of severance pay, and a late model Mustang convertible. So the first day I couldn't go to work I took off down I-40 west like I'd been doing for the pervious 20 years, passed my work exit and kept on going... Drove from North Carolina to Chicago, then took the Route all the way to LA. It was GREAT, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
Adam, just finished watching the 'first' episode of the new Adam the Woo Show! It seems like you are in heaven getting back to the 'old school' style of filming. Listen to your voice, listen to how happy and content you sound! Keep up the good work. Be safe! Dan
The Bottle Tree Ranch is unique in that when you first step into the 'grove' the surroundings are slightly foreign, even alien perhaps but as you become comfortably acclimated, maybe sipping a cool drink while seated amidst the trees, you actually feel like you are in a 'real' forest!
Your early videos made me realize how much I love to explore when I first discovered them. After a relationship ended to get over things I started going down roads I'd never been down before and getting into urbex heavily. Now, I'm my happiest when I'm driving down a dirt road I've never been on before seeking out new cool places to experience. I am beyond excited to see you back on the road and thank you for helping me through some rough times and finding a pass time that brings me happiness.
The railroad car you show at 13:59 was used to haul race horses. The other end has a fold-down ramp. Amboy used to be a much larger town. On the south side of Route 66, across from Roy's, was a market, gas station, homes, and motel cabins. They all burned down about 1972. I ate meals at Roy's in the 1950's.
I thoroughly enjoy this one with the trains and I really agree with you about the sounds but organic sounds when one stays quiet and just listens. But I also enjoy the way you describe the things you find along your paths ❣️🤗👍😎🙏🏻
My husband and I did a partial mother road trip in March, we’re both 66, and we only listened to music 60s on 6 on radio. North Carolina to Arizona. Thanks for filming! Love it!
I love this... It's what I've been missing in my life, lol. Thank you so much for bringing us along, Adam. This next year+ is gonna be legendary. Side note: when you were at that spot with the giant golf ball and the "Ford Arizona Proving Ground" sign, it made me interested, so I did a quick Google Earth search and found out that the place you're standing at is called "Area 66" which is pretty neat on its own (for those who are slow to catch on, it's a play on area 51 and route 66, merged into 1 place). But what I think was even more awesome was that there's a gigantic facility behind that place with huge, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this, HUGE tracks and roads and everything you can think of that is all part of the Ford proving grounds. It looks like it's fenced and gated plus it has security, but it would be cool to get in there some way and see the facility.
I also like trains. One of my favorite things about your videos is that you don't add music and leave it as natural sounds. You are an amazing story teller.
Good seeing you back on the road. I agree about the sound. Listening to the natural sounds of wind chimes, a squeaky windmill, birds whatever are soothing. Enjoy your trip home. We'll enjoy the ride with you
Love the backroads!! Those trains show how the goods we need and purchase are delivered to towns and cities. Trains and trucks keep this country supplied
It's great to see you pumped & excited about being back on the road! I'd love to ride Route 66 one day; perhaps after I eventually ride the California Zephyr. Both bucket list items for me. Safe travels!
@@kxrv6629 couldn’t agree more. I rode the Southwest Chief many years ago with my Grandpa to Chicago then hopped on the Broadway Limited trying to get to West Virginia. One of the most memorable trips I’ve ever had. One rarely gets to see the US on the train. Beautiful country
I am loving your excitement during this trip, and looking forward to your journey back, and the future. Regarding your present journey, if you are traveling through Flagstaff, you should try Bun Huggers restaurant. My husband took me there twice on travels and the handmade burgers are outstanding, and the decor is so fun to look at. You most likely have been to the Route 66 Diner in downtown Albuquerque, but if you haven't, you would love it since it is a blast from the past. They have Blue Plate Specials every day. My husband and I traveled a lot back in the day, but now are physically unable to and so enjoy your vlogs! May you have a safe journey across country, and we look forward to what comes next!
LOL. Love it! Love trains!!! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Complely agree that not everything needs themed music or tunes all the time. I really enjoy watching your travels cross country.
When you're traveling these back roads through small cities and towns, how do you know which motels are 'safe' to stay in and which ones you'll come out in the morning covered in bedbugs after sleeping on an oft-too-often used bed? I've stayed in my share of places that humans shouldn't be allowed to stay in!
@@ekimp252 I've never actually hooked up in a motel. In a Hyatt Regency? Yes. But never in a motel. With that said I used to do a lot of back-country traveling and I've stayed at some pretty out-there motels along the way and a lot of them are hit or miss. So I was wondering if Adam had a particular set of drive-up expectations or if he just used Google. (we didn't have google back in the days before Compuserve and Delphi....)
Thank you Mr. Adam for inviting us along in your adventures. Love seeing off the road places like this. Praying that you have safe travels. Be safe and well.
Ford Motor Company had a "proving" ground where they tested new model cars and trucks through the years. The proving grounds were near Yucca, Az which was an old world war 2 auxiliary Army-Air Field that was part of the old Kingman Army-Air Base near Kingman. Today it is the city airport. They have a museum there. After WW-2 thousands of planes were stored there before scrapping many of them. It is pronounced Sa-LIG-Man home of a gentleman ANGEL DELGADILLO who started the Route 66 Association of Arizona. He was also the town barber for many years. His brother ran the SNOW-CAP drive in. I live in Phoenix and love my state.
Thank you for your comment. I've been reading through hoping someone told what it was. I was ready to stop reading. I'm from AZ and been going back and forth to CA since the 50's. I wanted to comment on what it was but didn't want to say something wrong.
Has anyone had the thought of how awesome it is to see those trailers (carrying goods)...idk what to call them. I'll bet numerous of those were stuck somewhere out in the open waters on ships....I'm super happy too see them heading to there final destinations! Love wind chimes man! Road side shows rule! Thanks!
Back in the mid-80s I was working on an Archaeological project just inside the northern portions of Twenty-nine Palms Marine Base and around the Amboy Crater. At that time Buster owned the town. I had the "PLEASURE😊" of staying in the motel. There was no TV, Telephone, or other luxuries and the shower heads were missing. It was quite an experience😄
Woo - the F45 locomotive painted silver with a red warbonnet [@13:54] is a famous locomotive. In the 1970's, Santa Fe ran a high speed freight train called the Super C, that hauled mostly refrigerated semi trailers and other high value freight from LA to Chicago in 44 hours. The F45 units pulled it.
You may have noticed some COSCO train cars. They are from my home city of Columbus, IN. The fist “CO” stands for Columbus, the “S” stands for “Specialty,” and the second “CO” stands for “Company.” The Columbus Specialty Company was founded in 1935, and its “specialty” was tin matchstick holders for the walls of kitchens. Cosco added many more products to its lineup through the decades, and ended up specializing in baby carseats for vehicles. In 1988 Cosco was acquired by Dorel Juvenile, and they continue to be the world’s leading manufacturer of child safety carseats to this day.
All I could think about was how ALL those train cars, due to the JB supply chain crisis were stacked up & moving, were getting out of California also! At last! Loved the glass bottle forest too. Trains are mesmerizing
Happy to see you on the road again I really really loved watching that intermodal unit train go by not sure which way it's headed but I sure hope it's going from the west coast to the east coast like you the mix train with a hopper cars the tank cars the flat cars and looks like some tanks on that flat car that was pretty cool I'm a huge train fanatic CHS my old competition! ❤️ Happy trails there Adam be safe!
Love the grin you’ve got in every shot. So excited to see where you get to and your level of excitement for being back on the road explores. We are planning to do this section of 66 tomorrow and you have gotten our enthusiasm kicked up a notch. Thank you Adam!
Don't forget to start your "Woo Journal" for those old age years when you are glued in a recliner and got the tube running and need a time out to reflect and remember those "Able Bodied Years" and say, Gosh I looked so young". Thank you so much for taking us with you and showing us all those strange places we will never in person be able to see but will still have our little home bound adventure. We will say, you know i shoulda, coulda, woulda, done that like Woo, I just could not get out of this damn chair and get motivated after I retired, now along comes Woo and he's taking us along with him Via the U-Tube and what could be better. Oop's I hear my cat "Muggs", he wants in to watch the Woo Adventure too.!!!!!!!!!!!!
