Besides the rain you sir are making me Jealous jkjk Everyday I will say it, you live the life daily! Thank you for taking us on your adventures in time and mind! Sharing your life! WE LOVE THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I SHALL ALWAYS JOIN YOU!

[@tsteedman6244]

Adam are you allowed to film in the mob museum in Vegas that would be a good blog. trev

[@MarkFunJones]

TheDailyWoo This is one place definitely on my bucket list really cool video thanks for taking us

[@dickiedocker]

Adam do some Dirty Harry filming locations

[@mpuck972]

The black knife shapes is where the actual knifes would hang. That made it easy for the guards to see if one was missing. The same thing was done in the various workshops to make sure none of the tools went missing.

[@JeffDeWitt]

Where I worked we did much the same thing so people would know where the tools were supposed to go and to make it obvious when one wasn't where it belonged.

[@tomcooper6108]

There was a gunwalk outside of the chow hall. Guards with Thompson submachine guns could open fire at any minute anything got out of hand.

[@FreeOpenTruth]

Ahhhh.....you beat me to this comment by a year! I still wrote mine though before seeing this one. Good job though! You are correct!

[@jacobdean4833]

That's what he said

[@EmpireBreedingCo]

The Alcatraz tour is easily one of the coolest things you can ever visit in your life. You can literally feel the history as you walk around it. It should be on everyone's bucket list. I loved that tour when I went to San Fran and I hope to do the nighttime tour some day.

[@motorizedmisfit-artist8535]

I used to be the night watchman on Alcatraz. I would be out there by myself all night. Yes it’s definitely haunted. It’s a whole different experience being the only one on the island all night.

[@randyhutchinson9910]

Motorized Misfit if your the " only one ", on the island, whose haunting it ?????

[@CaptainKingsleyYeoo]

thats awesome, care to share any spooky experiences?

[@simonmcnicholas]

I came home from work early one day, only to hear strange pounding and moaning noises coming from my wife's bedroom... Still to this day can't explain it... Weird man

@B. Fagan Thank you grammar nazi

You’ve always been a great teacher Adam. Thanks for the tour. Have a great day. :-)

[@TomandStace]

We loved Alcatraz when we visited! We did the night tour and the views were incredible

[@TheDailyWoo]

I can imagine at night it's amazing

[@Aitch_154]

My husband is 50 next year and this is one of our stops on our trip. Bucket list ticked. Greetings from the UK! Great to see you back Adam.

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

In my humble opinion, you should receive a Oscar from the academy awards for your video content. One of the most interesting channels on the public format. 🎥

Very kind of you . Thanks so much

I went to Alcatraz several years ago. I was impressed by it and it’s history. When you enter the main jail cells you feel the anger, pain, frustration of those who lived there. Impressive

[@ItsKevin06]

Its their fault for killing

[@vvarietyshow]

Great video, glad you got to explore it. We did two vids here, one during day and one at night. One of my favorite places to explore! Wish we could collab someday when you're around the Bay!

[@knox_3234]

That'll be awesome!

[@vvarietyshow]

@@knox_3234 I would think so 🙏

[@FlyBoyEnterprises]

Always wanted to take the trip there & the tour. BUT ESPECIALLY for the fantastic views as I love taking photos of such views....just another on my LONG list of places... LOVED the film The Rock of which was my FIRST rated R film at 15/16.

[@jayeroxburgh922]

So glad you took me to Alcatraz, I loved it a lot, so atmospheric!

[@JasonD71]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Adam for not putting music over your videos. I love hearing you, and the ambience of the location!! You are THE BEST on the WWW!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yankeebiscuitfan]

I visited Alcatraz in 2013 during the WBC. I still don't regret I decided to visit it. Very impressive and educational.

[@Keliimaoli]

Always wanted to go see Alcatraz!, (as a tourist of course). I absolutely loved the Clint Eastwood film, By far one of my most favorite movies.

[@toddcruzen4533]

I love all of your videos Mr.Woo,My wife and I Visited Alcatraz on August 2 2019.The biggest shock was in the chow hall and I felt a presence and I mean eerie presence I was standing there in the chow hall and heard a deep whisper in my right ear constantly so I looked around nobody was there. My wife and I went into D block number one and we both felt the ground shake. I never believed in paranormalUntil this day what an experience Alcatraz was for us. Our two hour tour was not enough so we will go back. I want to thank you for all of your videos my friend peace my brother.

[@lucytea5073]

Would love to go to this place.... I can only dream!

[@EpcotCenter1982]

When I visited the Rock, they said that the shadows of the knives were painted so that if one was stolen, they would know immediately which one was missing and what to look for

[@SingerGirl84]

I remember doing a tour and asking about that.

[@TampaJay]

I’m happy to see you on The Rock man, definitely one of the most awesome places I’ve ever visited. Congratulations on becoming a junior ranger lol

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

You've visited here too? Sweet!

[@TikiKrissy]

I’m 46 and have lived in Sacramento all my life, yet have never made it to see Alcatraz! Thanks for the tour, Adam! Love you!

[@brandievolks]

I am absolutely loving the return of old school ATW videos!!

[@kenlincoln8345]

Have fun in SF. I was born and raised in Fremont, CA. There is so much stuff to do and see in the city. Thank you for giving me a chance to see my city again. I can never go back because I have ALS. It's keeping me pretty much at home seeing all the wonderful things through the lens of great folks like you. Peace be with you. See if you can find Grace Slick. I hear she's awesome and friendly. Thanks again Adam the Woo.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It's a beautiful place . Thanks for the comment

[@bigbabyandbean]

Great video , we visited the island a few years ago , the self guided tour gets eerie when you find yourself just wandering around & end up on the yard alone lol , great video again , Adam

[@kenbass3862]

I went there about four years ago and it was an incredible sight to see. It was a great tour if you ask me. Everybody should go see it. Thank you for your great vlogs Adam. Keep up the great work.

[@RhettyforHistory]

This is such an iconic place! The whole location makes you think it's the last place you would ever want to be. The Rock was such a craptastic movie!

[@teresablais8005]

Went here on a school field trip in the 80s. I enjoyed it, but it was super creepy.

[@Brianbravo2000]

Hard to believe that was your first trip to the Rock... You mentioned Al.Capone, they promote his cell at Eastern State Penitentiary bigtime during Haunt Season.

[@jennyandryan9735]

This is actually on our bucket list to visit Adam. there is so much history and interesting stories from there.

[@SFJUMP]

Awesome. The DailyWoo. I am glad that you enjoyed my City and my Home of S.F. I had visited Alcatraz myself and it is an amazing place! I am also happy that you enjoyed Alcatraz!

[@jonmason1955]

I lived in San Francisco 23 years, went to alcatraz only once with friends for an evening tour. Once was more than enough. There are unseen and mysterious happenings there. I'm surprised, Adam, you didn't mention that long before the White man came and carnaged the area, the local Native Americans used the island for ceremonial purposes. The bay around that area is relatively shallow in places, and has rocky out croppings(your noting the small continuous wave). The currents there are extremely quick and can change without a moment's notice. On a beautifully clear day, those who can, take their pleasure sailboats out and cruise the bay around there. It can get crowded, but what a wonderful sight to behold. Jacob's "power" comment is right on point. Both of you are the best "Road Trip Companions"!!

[@TheRmm1976]

1:19 Alcatraz looks smaller than what I'd imagined. Very cool place.

[@tracydaze658]

A very serene video Adam. A good watch on a rainy bay area morning. I can tell you are enjoing SF. The food here is great too.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I enjoy seafood so was perfect spot

[@ILTDL4EVER]

You should have taken the Angel Island tour with your Alcatraz tour. It’s so educational.

[@frank-xp6pj]

I gotta try that next time I visit San Francisco

[@Stopstaring101]

This was really captivating Adam🥇 Enjoyed myself quite a bit 👍🏼 Thank you ♥️👩🏼‍🦰😉🌉!!

[@ezymk69]

Although I have been to San Francisco and rode down Lombard Street and went across the Golden Gate Bridge, I have not been to Alcatraz. They were not giving tours during that time period. I’ve been suggesting for you to go to Alcatraz since you first moved to LA. Thank you for finally finding the time to get there! It’s much appreciated!

[@TommyTravelsThe2nd]

There's just no escaping it. This was a great video!

[@fiveninegarage]

[@court529]

The cell with the paper mache head and the "creepy hallway between the cells" were all part of the escape plan.

This is SO exciting to watch because my daughter and i were there last year in August. We LOVE San Francisco. We went to Alcatraz and and we saw the sea lions and other things. Don't forget to eat at Bubbagump Shrimp its yummy with scenery of Alcatraz. Thanks for sharing this Adam glad you finally made it there.

[@The321asdfff]

born and raised in San Francisco and it's awesome to see you hit all the tourist sites Adam! Love seeing it thru your eyes. :)

[@kaffeice7]

i hope u didnt live around Folsom Street lol

[@FreeOpenTruth]

Adam, they paint the sizes and shapes of the knives and kitchen ware so that after being used by the inmate staff, when returned, the guard knows every piece was put back. If a spot remains open at the end of each shift, the guards know exactly which piece is missing, including the shape and size by its painted on silhouette. Prisons also do that with the tools inmates use when working.

[@CSMartin]

By far one of your best videos.

[@51gary51]

Bravo, Woo! Excellent presentation! Enjoyed it immensely. I visited the Pier back in summer 2000. Had a chance to take the boat out to Alcatraz but didn't. I've always wondered what we missed. Now I know! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@louisegalczynski1543]

Great video - finally had time to watch it! It was very spooky as it popped up immediately after talking about Alcatraz!

[@EVDroid]

Hey Adam. Love your new filming technique. Beautiful framing and Cinematography. Been an avid follower for almost 4 years.

[@derrickw3021]

Adam , I got homesick from watching your video and you did a fantastic job ! There's so much to see there like the Cable Car Museum , Coit Tower , The Wax Museum on Fisherman's Wharf , Chinatown , North Beach , Twin Peaks , Golden Gate Park , Haight-Ashbury , Oracle Park , home of the San Francisco Giants which is enough to keep you busy for a few days . You also have movie locations too that still stand like the Mrs . Doubtfire house , the house where Full House was filmed in , Dirty Harry and Bullitt movie locations , including the route Steve Mc Queen & the bad guys took during the famous chase scene . There's also Karl Malden' s house on Wisconsin Street in Potrero Hill neighborhood when he played Lt . Mike Stone in The Streets of San Francisco . Michael Douglas's character Inspector Steve Keller's house was on the 200 block of Union Street in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood . You may also research the filming locations of Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte's " 48 Hours " , and " Another 48 Hours " . The 007 flick " A View To A Kill " was filmed there along with many other great movies and tv shows .

[@GESSO217]

Warden : No one has ever escaped from Alcatraz. And no one ever will Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin : Hold our Beers. The Dummy head you are looking at at 6:24 is probably one of the three used by Morris and the Anglin Brothers when the escaped in 1962. They've never been recaptured and no bodies have ever been found.
