Roadside Oddities In Natural Bridge Virginia - Backroad Trip Into North Carolina / Forgotten History

Road Trip Thru Virginia April 2023

[@marvndave]

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!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thank you . I enjoy these backroads types for sure too

[@colew.5956]

I agree! This is his BEST and the Reason I watch His videos. Well said!

[@catladylife]

​@@TheDailyWoo you passed right through my area. That old satellite/movie store is about 10 minutes away. Natural. Bridge is about an hour

[@williamwallis3844]

Adam is the backroads KIng. Nobody does it better.

[@carlavision6143]

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!!!!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thanks for the comment Carla . Really glad you enjoy the videos

I detect a bridge theme this week... Bunny Man Bridge, Humpback Bridge, Natural Bridge! We've thoroughly enjoyed them all! 😀 🌁

@@1954shadow LOL I see what you did there! 🙂

[@billieglennbusch2189]

These are my favorite vlogs, I mean who can’t relate to or enjoy everyday America 🇺🇸 … and The Woo captures the essence of it !!!

[@terrynicoll5443]

I love the Mark Cline sculptures. Natural Bridge is such a beautiful place, especially in the spring.

[@Strangerthingsvehicles]

King Kong has the robots arm in his hand

[@karinm8398]

I LOVE your non Disney videos! I mean I love when you go to the Disney parks, but these remind me of places I've been, and I'm also making notes of places I want to see. Thanks Adam! :) Went to the Natural Bridge once, very cool

[@ronaldhall2489]

Yea you have covered Disney pretty well we know the squirrels that live there all by name and sight❤

[@chuckw2236]

Same here. I don’t care for Disney stuff and skip it. Sorry Adam.

[@juliebyerly9412]

Natural Bridge is so cool. It's only a few hours from where I'm living in NC right now, so I may try to make it there. Love when you do these kinds of vlogs.

[@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.

[@scottttttt666]

Anyone else give adam the like before watching the video

[@janeclay9684]

Every time 😂

[@MyHeart1955]

You know it!

[@Ninjjulie]

Always!

[@pinkelefant4ever]

Adam is automatically liked.

[@suthius85]

Always 😅

[@russlasky6162]

My mom's water broke walking the stairs at natural bridge. The family that adopted me visited natural bridge waiting for me to be born. Didn't find that out till I visited NB 25 years later. 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. Great video, great area.

[@mustangcindy1303]

I was just in Natural Bridge 2 years ago. That was the first time that I had actually visited the bridge and I was in awe with how massive that thing was. It was so cool.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Hi again Adam the back roads of America With Adam the woo lol. Thanks man for sharing.😊😎 Stay safe and take care.

[@relicman]

There's a small abandoned airport in Yanceyville that has an underground airplane hangar from the Cold War in the 40's and a couple of other old remains from the past.

[@JohnSmith-ig4gb]

I just love these videos takes me back to my childhood driving with my grandparents and seeing all these wonderful roadside attractions! Great content this morning and blown away Gulf Gas Station refurbishment!

[@janeclay9684]

Just love the sound of rushing water .. what a pretty place

[@davidbailey3748]

Went there when I was a kid. An impressive natural structure. There used to be a cafeteria upstairs in the main building. Thanks for bringing back those memories!

[@peggymcgraw1856]

Did anyone else see what looked sort of like George Washington’s profile in the rock at 20:40? His eye was open. It was very fast so you have to look towards the left of the screen. As always, fascinating stuff. Adam never fails to entertain.

[@ShelleeGraham]

Now that you mentioned it, Yes 👍 we see the profile of the face in the rock! Good eye!

[@djsreviewzinunder2331]

Great content! Reminds me of when my grandparents took those back roads to Florida from New Jersey. Memories!!

[@jamiewilson5672]

King Kong was holding the robot arm not part of plane

[@Jason-ib9zr]

Great video! Awesome sculptures. Looks like King Kong is holding the robots missing arm.

[@jeanblanco2717]

Love your genuineness Adam! Been watching your videos for quite sometime. Keep doing what you love❤

[@bjornemccomb8262]

LOVE the old stores especially the video store, omg I miss those 😢 my kids will never know that feeling of picking out a movie and hoping it’s in stock

[@lainydepp]

I love these vlogs the best 😊❤

[@bellab2889]

Hi Adam, what a gorgeous day for you to see that bridge😊 It’s just incredible 👍 loving these videos. Thanks

[@jasonhudson8336]

I was at natural bridge yesterday and the weather was amazing. ATW these are you’re best videos and the filming locations as well.

[@donaldcherry2717]

Hopefully a tour of town and a Durham Bulls game are on your agenda while in those parts of NC. Lots of neat historical places, filming locations, and of course the Rays AAA team.

[@MrGretzky9966]

Boy I forgot Durham bulls are his AAA minor league team of his rays.

[@JUDYDAK]

Love all your "bad" jokes(funny, no matter how many times you repeat them!) And all your little antics, that why people like your video's! Thanks for sharing!

[@AllTheWorldIsSleeping]

"A real beehive of activity"

[@lisadodson-newton8525]

Hey Adam 👋 😊that is the Johnny Appleseed off of the restaurant in Fredericksburg that closed. It was right down the road from me for YEARS :😀

[@gregggoss2210]

There was a Johnny Appleseed restaurant and motel right off of interstate 81 in New Market Virginia many years ago. Completely gone now.

[@757ThatGuy]

That has to be the wizard from Foamhenge! That was such a cool little roadside oddity.

[@carolchmielewski5313]

Just watched this video, and loved the Natural Bridge part. My paternal grandparents were both from Virginia and I have old photos of them at NB. Also have my grandmother's fairy stone souvenir she bought there. I'm 68 years old now - that stone is still wrapped in it's original tissue and box! Thanks!!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

That is really cool !

[@FerchovRey]

This is a massive plethora of oddities goodness😂!! Thanks for sharing Adam😊

[@MikesVegas]

Happy Thursday Adam 😎

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

Backroads Americana, just Love this !! I stayed in Front Royal, Virginia back in the Summer of 1977. I was 14 years old then. Virginia is one of the Most Beautiful places I have ever visited. I said ONE, because we have so many Beautiful States in this country. Well Done, Adam !! :)

[@g.n.kgaming725]

The reason that old video store didn't have any VHS in it was the last few years it was open it was only a satellite place. When I was a kid my mother worked there I watched a lot of classic movies at that place. I have some great memories from my childhood in that store. It was great seeing it on this video.

[@kimhimes9911]

Yay! My neck of the woods! Thanks for showcasing our beautiful area! You rock!

[@livinthedream1485]

Ha! The Franken chicken made me giggle😆🫶🏻 Safe travels Adam!

[@leecrowder4934]

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.

[@juliogonzales5441]

Another good day with Mr woo...thanks

[@j33pfyn4tik6]

imagine if those old buildings could talk! Adam, you're the king of backroad Americana.

[@makingnewdreamscometrue]

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.

[@GeneH339]

I've never heard of the Natural Bridge but need to see this with my own eyes now. It looks amazing. "Better get used to these bars kid."

[@TheDailyWoo]

Pretty awesome spot

[@kimtapp768]

Went here back in 1984. We took a boat ride down the river it went under the natural bridge. George Washington's initials are there. It was beautiful there. Still looks it. I would love to go back again. There was a country store with a giant porch swing. Anyway, thanks for sharing this. It was a great walk thru of memories for me. God Bless ❤️✌️🤘😼💯

[@donnytucker]

Adam, Rays, 1:05pm. Historic game, hope you can watch some of it if you're not busy filming.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I watched some and listed to it all off and on . The boys are on a roll

[@donnytucker]

@@TheDailyWoo Yeah, I saw your FB post!

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

we have driven by that pink Cadillac place, it was closed when we went by, but we did visit the Natural Bridge, it was amazing to see, hubby Donny loves Cheerwine soda too and I like those Gardetto's chips too / lol the gummy shark bit the dust n your tummy

[@sharonatl]

That natural Bridge is beautiful. This is what I like nature

[@megatronthe3rd1]

I really enjoyed the Natural Bridge Adam. Thank you!

[@SkatterBrainedGames]

Hey Adam, me my wife and son were there in VA in December 2022! We took the same route heading back home to Florida and seen the Watlingtons building and cool little town. Safe travels Adam

[@chuckh.2227]

Thank you Adam for taking us along with you to places we would never go otherwise Keep it up!!!

[@brianking973]

Jacob the carpetbagger and Jenny was just there. Very unique place for sure. Hearing you in these videos sure helps me after a day like today. It calms my mind

[@maureenb1109]

Loving these vlogs the scenery is just beautiful thanks Adam 😊

[@anthonynash2899]

Excellent roadside attractions,thanks Adam 👏👏👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@ameliaantique5345]

I love aimlessly driving the backroads, and I’m going to visit Natural Bridge in the fall so this was neat to see.

[@CCcastro336]

Love these videos. That natural bridge is amazing. Those little towns you stopped at are also amazingly beautiful. Thank you again for taking us on your journey.

[@sharronunger7053]

Great video. Thank you. I have many great memories of Natural Bridge. I have lived in northern Virginia my entire life.

[@Sunny8888]

I've been to the Natural Bridge . .... Great place to walk and see the sites. It's not too far from Washington & Lee University. There is a lot of history in that area!

[@lostonwallace1396]

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.

[@stevepaul6955]

I love stuff like this.

[@brandonwendt1312]

I've been watching you over the years now and I always love your content. I didn't know that. Francis Farmer had such a turbulent life. I know my grandma used to talk about old movie stars sometimes and she mentioned her here and there, thanks for shedding some light on her life was very interesting.

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Love Virginia. Natural bridge is a cool place to film. Did a video there myself. ❤ As always great video Adam.

[@rob-ccbb-fan]

I visited here recently with my dog - simply breathtaking!

[@natalama816]

Thanks for showcasing our home! We actually have TWO zoos off this highway. The one in the video is a walking zoo owned by Karl Mogensen and if you take a turn across the road from that Pink Caddy you’ll discover the Drive-thru Safari Park, which is owned by Mogensen’s son.

[@acruise55]

Gosh you were about an hour from where I am

[@natalama816]

Mark Cline did the “LOVE” sign for Natural Bridge. Those signs are part of a Statewide initiative. They are everywhere and made in all kinds of creative and unique ways.

[@denisematthews6215]

Thanks, Adam! Just looked up the zoo ,and Mark Cline. Natural Bridge looks like a great place to visit!

[@knight20121960]

Wow, that is fantastic. Art is really good. 👍👍

[@kathleenkniffin5633]

Your content is always amazing, love all your videos and blogs.

[@cjdesign5700]

These are your BEST videos ADAM. In Yanceyville was "The Caswell Theater" opened in 1938 and closed in 1957. Also Adam, The storefront next door has an Art Deco shiny front called "Vitrolite" or "Corning Glass"...a very high style for business's in the 30's/40's...you may see them often...usually Black, Blue or Lt Green...but all colors available.....cool stuff.

[@hittheroadwithsteveandsandee]

This is so awesome! Finally had time to watch this one. Sandee and I will be visiting these sites in early May on the way home after visiting our daughter in North Carolina. Thank you for showing us stuff to look forward to on our trip. We will of course be making a video inspired by Adam the Woo 😅 Steve and Sandee

[@RandomlyRandy58]

Always miss you by just a few days. I’ll be driving by natural bridge on Saturday heading down to Martinsville

[@NODARRYL]

Sometimes the comments you make are so great and hilarious, like the one about Washington's wax figure walking down to look at the inscription at the bridge, LOL. You are my favorite KZbinr by far! Your stuff always puts me in a good mood.

[@pegedey1291]

Thank you Adam it is absolutely beautiful.

[@a915gmv8]

Best dad joke ever, square meal ha ha

[@The_Alexandra_B]

I’m about 99% sure I went to the Natural Bridge Wax Museum with my family on a road trip when I was about 7 or so. I always thought my memory was from a museum in Salem but as soon as you showed the exterior, I knew I had been there.

[@TimothyFrench]

As a kid I loved the roadside attractions and motels where you parked in front of your room door. Hitting the pool after a long day of traveling was awesome. They’re all run down now. A lot like me. 😅

[@maribelsanchez7726]

I love these types of vlogs and just listening to you talk is awesome

[@WeHateThePatriots]

As a Roanoke VA resident I'm loving these videos

I was just in the area last week. Drove past the pink restaurant multiple times, the cider place is nice. They have a game room for adults and a orchard maze you can walk

We have a Natural Bridge in Kentucky as well, and you not only go under it, but there is a trail that leads directly across it.

[@evonchambers5024]

Back in the day...there was a ice skating ring at the building on the side of the parking lot....& they also had a skyline lift....
