These type of videos are definitely your best, and I'm certain they are a favorite of the majority of your viewership. That general store was amazing. So much old time nostalgia with it. I wish there were more general stores like this around. Please keep doing more videos like this. I'm certain there are many more small towns and spots throughout Florida you've never been to or heard about. Thank you for sharing this with us, Adam. A treasure for sure.
I like this much better, back roads of America, there's something for everyone. Like to see small towns that are almost forgotten, but are still there to see/adventure. Thanks again.🤘📹
Amazing video as always Adam. Seeing the citrus tower choked me up a little as on my very last trip to Florida before my Father passed away he took me there and told me how when he was a child on his first trip to central Florida he and his family stopped there and from the top you got a view of thousands of acres of orange trees ( which are gone today ) and how the tower was a big draw to the area long before the theme parks were built. Thank you for showing this off today and for all your videos
I remember when you could see citrus trees. I went up in the tower in the 1980's. There were some bad freezes in the late 80's that wiped out a lot of the citrus groves. The smell of citrus trees in bloom around March was heavenly! Sadly you have to go near Ft. Pierce and further south to see large groves in Florida now.
I'm a native Floridian and I'm so happy to see this. Nothing like going through the backroads of Florida and discovering new places. You've captured it perfectly. 👏👏👏👏
I live in central Florida and have been to all these places at one time or another and see things I missed. I'm not as observant as Adam so I missed a lot.
i love it when you see bales of hay and say "hey" bcz my mom used to do that , it annoyed me at first but then i too started doing it i guess to do it before she did, but it reminds me of her, when you do it. she passed 11 yrs ago. so I for one appreciate the 'bad' joke!
So many of us are guilty of only visiting the theme parks when we go to Florida. So great to see what else is out there. That little general store was fascinating. Thanks for the trip Adam.
I have pictures of me at the Citrus Tower when I was 8 years old. I'm 71 now so you are right when you say the Tower has been around for along time, lol.
That sweet nostalgia store would have had ALL of my money. I would have certainly bought Spiffy Cola and a slide whistle, so I could stand beside an icy patch of sidewalk in the winter, waiting for my golden opportunities.
Hope Adam goes back & visits that citrus tower opened in 1956 - one of Florida's 1st tourist attractions. Bet the view from the observation deck cant be beat.
@@ueno1 unfortunately at the moment we are confined to Sydney due to border closures.We can’t go to regional NSW till Nov 1.Our US trip got canceled these were some of the places in Florida we were going.
Could not love this more!!!! I *LOVE* these back roads and off the beaten path places. I also love when you and Micah head out together and getting two perspectives on the same trip! Great content, thanks Adam! :)
This is the Woo I love to watch. Love the back road material and how you present it. Every bit of this is so good. Not only do you capture the pleasantly serene sights, but also the calming realness of nature's sound that we hear too little of these days. Awesome job, my friend. Thanx for the upload. Your filming style is quite contagious for us viewers who are, too, tired of being bombed with sights and sounds of the "Top 40." Take care and be careful in your travels. Till next time.
Nice video. Reminds me of when I used to stay with my grandma's during the summer and going into town. The old general stores with wooden floors and chests with soda and the bottle opener on the side. Nice memories.
These areas are the Florida that most people don’t know about. Grew up in Ocala before there was Disney or The Villages. This video is like walking through some of my childhood memories. Thank you
Love that small town nostalgia...especially when it is done in my state! Hope you make it up the Atlantic coast sometime...Palatka, Fl has some nostalgia
Yes! So good to see you back in hhe hinterlands, Adam. No fast passes needed. No cue lines. Just wide open spaces. Welcome back Adam The Woo. Welcome back. 👍😎
That was lovely. I could sit in one of those rocking chairs and “see the sights” for a couple of hours with that bag of pork rinds and a soda. Love the solace of the roads there. After watching a few of these, you might want to consider grabbing a bag of carrots to take along with ya. The horses and donkeys love them.
Asking for a Dr Pepper and being offered a Root beer is like asking for a rental car and being offered a school bus. The only thing those have in common is that theyre both soda.
As a Florida native, born and raised, I love seeing the old school/country Florida. Florida is quite a diverse state, much more diverse than many people realize. I may go on a short road trip this weekend and check these places out.
Love old Florida…. That store looked amazing…. Will definitely make a visit…. You were on my door step! Uncle Kenny’s YES! 😍 Great video excited for more back road stuff.
You were about five miles from me in Richloam. If you are ever back out in Richloam stop by the Florida Bass Conservation Center and Richloam State Fish Hatchery. I'm a biologist at the hatchery and would be happy to give you the grand tour. I also live there. This is a great video tour of my current neck of the woods. Oh and by the way Dade City which is close to where you were still has an operational drive in movie theater. A double feature is only $7. Thanks Adam!
The unique looking truck you saw is called a "Jeepney" and they are custom built, usually by the people who operate them, in the Philippines. Basically a small bus/ large taxi. Don't see them here very often. Great video Adam!
Love how you mix up the blog not just Disney and parks 24/7! Thanks for sharing as a born and raised tampa floridian intersting to see these areas can not wait to check them out.
We love these towns! We pass through them as we drive from Davenport to Pine Island (another gem!). Groveland and Mascotte are our favourite little towns, and we love that antiques place …that dragon has been there for years.
Fun fact about dragon fly's. I had a darker car at one point that seemed to attract dragon fly's. I found out dark cars look like water to dragon fly's so they hover around trying to find a spot to land. Great video Adam, thank you for sharing 🍁🍂 GOD BLESS
LMAO when all the pigs came to the fence to check you guys out, that was so cute!! wow, Richloan GS & PO is off the beaten path but i absolutely adore it. I love old timey, and i'm a sucker for rural than suburb or city. btw that dried gourd is an instrument used in hula. this blast to the past is a hidden gem, thanks for taking us along.
This video was really good Adam ! Its AWESOME to see AMERICA like this see it now before it's all CITY and pavement.... Reminds me of the cross country trip you and your dad took... THANK you Frank from montana...
Awesome Adam pure awesome just like the good old days exploring the backroads and not knowing what you’ll find and boy do I like looking at old relics just as much as you Adam so thanks for this adventure through the backroads of life also it was so cool to see Micha himself so with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure wherever it takes you also please be safe out there
When I lived in Florida, I loved to travel through mid Florida to all the little towns. We found a lot of fun quirky places, cattle ranches and horse farms. I miss that a lot. A favorite was Wekiva Springs park north of Orlando. My dad lives in Hudson now, so we explore the springs areas north of there along the gulf coast. Fun times!
