    This is absolute PEAK Adam the Woo!! I completely understand you have to make other types of videos, like Disney and baseball etc, but damn, this is your absolute best content!! Just wandering through the country side taking in all the sights. I watch these when I wake up in the morning drinking my hot caffeinated beverage and it gets me energized for the day. Thank you Adam!!

    Adam, really enjoyed your video! Thank you for taking me along with you on your travels to places I'll never get to chance to see for myself because, I'm handicapped and nobody to take me! I love old buildings and I wonder if the walls could talk what stories they'd tell. Just like our detiorating dairy barn. Beautiful scenery around the natural bridge and that's cool George Washington's are there! Again, thank you for taking me along with you on your travels. YOU ROCK!!!!!

Sent my sister a pic and she's was like oh yea we visited waiting for you lol. Special place for me. I hope you went down the trail. There's a cave, native settlement, a lot more.

  • @the_gilded_age_phoenix8717

    My ancestors had a farm on Buffalo Creek...not far from the Natural Bridge. It seems that "throwing a rock over the Natural Bridge" was a popular tall tale for folks to tell back in the day. Part of my family's lore is that one family member also threw a rock over the bridge. I learned about it before I had heard the story of Washington supposedly doing it.

    It’s a good things you are filming these old buildings. Now its current state is saved forever. 50 years later people will be able to see how things were and compare. I also like when you are able to talk to the locals and preserve their knowledge about the area especially from their youth.

    The museum was owned and operated by The Dorfman company located in Baltimore, MD. The figures were sold off to museums around the country in 2014 when Natural Bridge was sold to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The main portion of the hotel has undergone a major renovation and is part of the Wyndham chain. Great place to visit and there is a nice cavern right across from the bridge.

    In 1980, my 6th Grade class went to the Natural Bridge on a field trip. I was 10 years old. I read X-MEN #138 on the bus (the death of Phoenix). I remember being amazed at just how high the bridge was from the ground below, but I also recall being amazed by it. I don't remember there being any roadside oddities on the way back then, but it's cool seeing them in the video!
    ...and I guarantee you that George Washington didn't carve his initials with a "railroad spike." lol. The first railroad in America actually came into being in 1815, long after Washingon's death in 1799.

  • @angelinainhollywoodland9023

    Thanks for a nice morning out exploring. Holy Land was very special place. It was beautiful to see the love that went into that place, from cute to sacred. Especially, for me was seeing the recreation of the place of rest for the body of Jesus when He was taken down from the cross. This would then be from where He rose. It would also be where the Shroud of Turin was originally placed over His face while He rest. Thank you Adam.
    The next place is just a mystery as to why the turn-off never went through. Huh?!!!
    These days are nice breaks. It's nice to see you just out there doing all that you like and want to do. It is that you are interested in what you do (whatever it is) and where you go that make us interested. And why time after time, over our morning coffee, we say "Why yes, I believe I shall."
    Until next time, this is Angela saying, "The comment Is............over!
