Small Towns & Empty Backroads Of Southern Georgia - First Stuckeys / Rental Car Problem On Road Trip

[@margarethanson8330]

You gotta love old south Georgia, so peaceful and nostalgic to a gentler more peaceful time!

[@erlyne0]

There is something about small town America that I just love so much. Thank you for sharing!

[@stuckeystop]

Adam, so fun that you done through my hometown of Eastman and visited Stuckey’s store #1. The old candy plant is right next to it (red brick building). One of these days, I hope to have the funds to buy that store where my grandparents started our family business and renovate it. Next time you’re in Georgia, please visit the new Stuckey’s candy plant in Wrens, GA. We have a mural out front that celebrates Georgia roadside attractions and a gift shop that includes a bunch of Stuckey’s memorabilia (like the first pecan log roll box). I’m a fan of your channel and am glad you mentioned that we’re making a comeback. Thank you 🙏

[@TheDailyWoo]

Always enjoy stopping at different stuckeys locations and glad to see them making a comeback !

[@soyburglar77]

Hey Stephanie! I’m originally from Eastman and my grandmother worked at Stuckey’s when she was in her 20’s (she passed in 2005 but would be about 95 now) and then worked in the building when it was Middle GA restaurant in the early 2000’s! So cool to see my hometown featured by the Daily Woo!

[@stuckeystop]

@@TheDailyWoothank you! There are only 13 original Stuckey’s with the classic sloped roof architecture still in operation. The ones in Hattiesburg, MS, Summerton, SC, Milton, FL and Johnson City, IL are great examples of the traditional store design. Stop by if you pass them on your travels!

[@stuckeystop]

⁠@@soyburglar77what’s your grandmother’s name? My father is still living and may remember her. He worked there for years

[@bonniej8931]

I grew up going through these small towns, my mother was born and lived in the surrounding area, Adel GA, Douglas, Pearson, Waycross, Nashville, Tipton, Willacoochoee and all the churches..... My Great Grandfather was a Preacher in the area, Rev. Walter L. Vining - RIP 10/25/1967 .....lots of memories with family and visiting all the things! Thank you for the video.... I need to put in a road trip wow the memories!!! Thanks Adam!

[@sasuke017]

I spent the summer in Patterson, GA in 2010. Going around to Blackshear and Waycross was so fun, checking out abandoned buildings. I love the small town feel. Great video Adam!

[@jcrotchfeltjr]

This is going to be fantastic! Seeing places in America that most of us will never be able to see. Much appreciated. I really enjoy these small towns.

[@royavery6949]

On my car you cannot open the gas door if the doors to the car are locked. I found this out when I first bought it because I have a habit of locking my car for safty when i'm not in it at the gas station.

[@jwo1998]

Same! I sat at a gas station not knowing what to do when they showed me at the dealership how easily it pops open with just a tap. I then relock my doors after I pop open the gas cap. But the doors must be unlocked to open the cap.

[@GHelton]

I always look forward to your videos of the back roads. They are so AWESOME. Thanks for another one man!

[@theathjr]

28:07 Stuckeys !! Wow that brought back some memories back in the 80’s travelling from California to Wisconsin and back to see family we always stopped there . My parents said we could get a souvenir from each state and I chose “toothpick holders” deep cut haha. I probably have 20 different state shot glasses purchased mostly from Stuckeys. Thanks Adam for bring back such great memories.

[@ck4426]

So much to see in America; these small towns, have i'm sure at one time...were Great Places to live; what's sad is when you see how many are now vacant, and wonder who lived and worked there. you get the Pensive feeling..and sometimes sad too! I see cars and trains...but no People...erie??? Last Picture Show, the tours are very interesting....so happy you decided to stay put in Celebration, near your family....🦋🦋

[@23yodeler]

Love the road trip vids, Adam. Always enjoy your meanderings.

[@jonathanlawrence1401]

Adam, I’m pretty sure the gas latch is connected to your door locks. If you went in for a piping hot caffeinated beverage, you locked the car, thus locking the gas door.

[@johnp139]

My thought as well!

[@bretthuckaby9745]

Yes that is how Smart cars works as well.

[@sandin6689]

JustinScarred, WorldofMicah, even TampaJay and countless others put 500% more effort, research and skillful editing than Woodog. He used to make this type of video interesting with his whimsical and devil-may care attitude but, alas, he literally phones it in with minimal effort, driving along in his air conditioned rental car and talking out of his nether regions. Where have you gone, Woo Dimaggio, Woo nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo woo woo.

[@iworkout6912]

Every time I have driven through Waycross, I sing that great western song about Waycross, GA. They have a great western/southern music festival every year. Never actually been there at that time, but if I'm in the area, I'd certainly attend. All the great country music artists have played their, including Elvis.

[@lostonwallace1396]

I love it when you do road adventures. It's what attracted me to your channel years ago, and it will always be the content that I like best. Nobody shows off and enjoys small town Americana or shares it better than Adam the Woo!

[@toddryan0108]

Back to the bread and butter of ATW! Road tripping, back roads, small towns I love it!

If doors are locked with the fob then the gas access hatch will lock also. I read it on the internet so it must be true. Bonjour

Adam. That futuristic vehicle is called an Argo. Argo is a 6 or 8 wheeled off-road amphibious vehicle. The one you saw was missing the center wheel, and some have tracks like a tank on it.

[@johnnymoran180]

Those type of off road vehicles have been around since at least the 1970's...

[@Aurajameson]

Cool to know! Loved seeing those old vehicles sitting there and I was unsure of what that one was too. Thanks!

[@johnnymoran180]

Those vehicles are amphibious, looks like someone mounted a propeller type attachment where the middle wheel would go in order to make it go faster across the water...

[@mat.356]

Awesome… thanks for sharing this info!

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, love small towns! There's still an old Stuckey's off the exit in Marietta, Ok but, abandoned ones on I-35 and I-40 going towards OKC. Really enjoyed your video and can't wait till your next vlog.

[@eac26114653]

You know Adam, if you ever want to explore and do videos on Waycross, GA...you can always just rent out your Celebration, FL house and then rent a house in Waycross for say 6 months or a year....But don't sell your FL house. It looks like there are more things to do in Celebration.

[@413led]

Excited we are out of the Park for a bit. You are soo much more interesting out in nature not in the tourist traps

[@PhattGreg]

Hi Adam, you will find the fuel cap release, parallell to your leg, between the Door and drivers seat. It can also be tied to the trunk release button. Which you pull up to open, but push down to open the fuel cap! As I had similar drama driving a GM grand prix, with that style of fuel cap release! If there is no marking, push to release!

[@davie941]

Surprised you couldn’t find anything online about that fuel latch release. Is the manual in the glove box? Maybe it mentions it there.

Yep I checked the manual . All it said was press on it like I was doing

Wow, Folkston!! I did some growing up there in the 90s! My grandfather was band director and principal of the high school way back in the day. My mom and aunts and uncles did some growing up there too! My mom just went there for her 50th high school reunion! Never thought I’d see it on a vlog! Visit Cartersville if you go up that far, small town but way bigger than Folkston. Second Guardians of the Galaxy did some filming in the historic downtown, plus Plant Bowen was in the background towards the beginning of the film! Safe travels!

Some nice findings in GA. Whatever company you got the car from, should contact them and see if you can take it in to a nearly location and have them fix it or change vehicles. That a pain for 2 weeks of driving. I had a similar issue on my Altima and had to fix it.

If you run into that problem again with the gas pump not pumping continuously like that, you've likely vapor locked the nozzle. Pull the nozzle out and then replace it in the car. Should work.

[@johnp139]

Or keep it partially out or use the lower setting.

Morning Adam 😎📸 the woo. Back roads are the best explore them nicely. Like seeing what was popular but some buildings are abandoned on the back roads. Thanks for taking us on the back roads of America. Hope you don't have to much of car problems, sounds like it's already happening. You take care. Stay safe. ✌️

[@smittysmat7826]

About 30 years ago, I had car trouble about 1/2 mile from the abandoned store at 32:30. It was open then, so I walked there in hopes of using a phone(this was pre cell phone for me). Honestly, the store was hanging on, but had very minimal inventory (drinks, candy, crackers etc). Anyway, I walked there and the nice older black gentleman proprietor said he had no phone there. However, to my disbelief, he very graciously volunteered to drive me to his nearby residence and allowed me to use his home phone. Unreal. I was very grateful. I offered to pay him but he wouldn’t take it. I still pass that place pretty regularly and think about that experience every time.
