Love these type of videos the most that u do!! They r so interesting. Im a mother and want to thank all those in the comments who wish the moms a happy Mothers Day. Just wanted them to know its appreciated. A mother in eastern Tennessee. ❤
Adam, Happy Mother’s Day to your Mom, she’s awesome 🩷 Love her on the Daily Woo, And Happy Mother’s Day to ALL you Mom’s out there, including my awesome Mom and my wife who’s an awesome Mom.
Very interesting video. Enjoy seeing towns off the beaten path. These Florida towns are such a contrast to the Disney bubble. Amazing that two worlds exist so near yet so far apart. Thx, again! 👍🏼
Cool trip. I was born in Orlando in 1956 and raised in Winter Haven. I think I’ve seen a lot of old Florida, but nope, you’re showing areas I’ve never been through. Love your backroads adventures!
I have lived in Umatilla most of my life, same house for 43 years. It was founded by Nathan Trowell in 1856 and registered with the US Land Office in 1876. The Trowell Mansion was only a block or two from where you were standing. The pillared building hasn’t been a bank in many decades. You missed the tree carvings of animals in Caldwell Park. They are really cool! The Chamber of Commerce is a one person office :) The library used to be the railroad station. It’s a nice town. Thanks for visiting!
Love old Florida. Seen those graves and so amazing to see Disney family members . It’s a shame Disney corporation doesn’t fix and maintain those graves.
I really enjoy seeing the small towns with their old buildings and signs. I’ve done the same in north Georgia, getting all sorts of cool photographs. You’ve got to get out and see all these places and things while they’re still around.
I love your videos man, you inspired me to start my own channel. Already did 2 vlogs!!! Appreciate all the hard work over the years for our entertainment
Thanks. What a great video trip to go on this morning. I have learned so much more than just a drive through or pass up altogether. And to top it all off with the tie back to Disney, loved it all.
The one thing Adam I like that you do is other options. I love going to Disney and it’s also those hidden gems and small towns which now I would love to check out when I get back to Central Florida
Happy Mother’s Day to your wonderful mother Adam I know you were there to spend some time with her. She’s awesome. We never told us what airline you were going to be taken. I hope it’s Delta.
Hi Adam. My husband and I have been watching you for a while now. We love Disney World information. We are enjoying your visits to small towns in Florida. I was wondering if you have been to Palatka Florida. Palatka is my hometown, but we live in South Carolina now. Palatka boast having the oldest diner in the state, Angles. Downtown is right on the St. John’s river. It’s a beautiful area.
Love Palatka. Worked a pest control route back in 2008-2010 and would take care of kay Larkin apartments college arms. The Hitchcock's on the east side and a lays potato chips warehouse out there. I believe there is a place called Ravine gardens that is so beautiful
Nowhere, I kind of don't like my town called that, but its used a lot. I wonder if their is a 'Nowhere' village somewhere in the US. (I bet their is) I know most people seem to like big cities and the suburbs, but life is pretty good in Nowhere.
Very cool and interesting. When I was a kid we lived in Orlando for a while and I remember going up to Lake Yale which I think is in or close to Umatilla and Eustis when there was nothing there but this huge lake I remember driving thru orange groves on dirt roads to get back there to it. I miss those days.
I remember back when you did 192 and I was like holy smokes I walk that & drive up n down there all my life have seen so many parts of fl change thank u for documenting all of this
Mom is from Star Tannery, VA. There's not even a "town." Always wanted to take the inherited land back there to start something up and/or build a tiny home on it and just disappear.
I like the hidden gems that you find in these small towns, I'll take a small town over the big city anyday. The water in the water fountain did look dirty tho.
Happy mothers day to your mom. Being from florida but currently far far away, your video help me stay close to home. I have never checked out umatilla myself either so this was a first time for me also
I love love love the small town videos that you make. I watched them and seems like I'm on vacation with you. Thank you and tell your mom I said happy Mother's Day.
Does anyone else "follow along" with Adam while watching videos like this? Or am I alone in my insanity? I go on google maps/street view, etc. That mural at the top of the video was just as faded in 2008 as it is now. I've got to check out that Yard Art place sometime. Fun stuff!
Of course I do, he lives so close to me so I open maps on my phone and follow along. I get my “family day” adventure ideas from him 🥰 also, I’ve driven past the yard art place more than a dozen times and I always think of Adam. He’s definitely been there before.. I’ve gotta go!!
A smaller version of an outdoor yard art place that offers the same lines of merchandise is in Tarpon Springs FL only I think they lack most of the furniture. We love the place every-time we visit down there.
13:55 - "Godzilla climbing to the top of an oil rig" - i hope you were trolling Adam haha! Nice video! I like these small town trips, especially when there are cool roadside attractions like that yard art place
You should check out Mims, sometime. It's on the east coast, four miles north of Titusville. It's a quaint little town. Lagrange cemetery is located there, the oldest in the state. Also, you might want to take the Harry T. Moore Foundation tour. He was the first Civil Rights martyr. I love the place. My grandmother lived in Mims. It's where I spent a lot of time. Every now and then I return when I feel a pang of nostalgia.
If you do get up to Toronto for a Jays Game head up to Goderich, Kincardine Area. The Disneys settled here from Ireland and where Elias Disney was born. How they got to the US is a very interesting story. Many Disney Family Graves in Goderich area.
Walt Disney SHOULD have done something about his Grandparents graves. They look terrible. He had the money to do something. Shame on him. Love your videos Adam!
I’m from Lake County,just south of Umatilla named Groveland. It was a real small town growing up. Now it’s crazy how many people live there. I live in east Georgia another small!
