The Road Less Traveled Thru Oklahoma - Day FIVE of Cross Country Trip / 8 States In 8 Days Challenge

[@TheDailyWoo]

Find me on Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Nothing better than a road trip thru small towns . I suggest everyone do it from time to time . Yesterday’s video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4ixnKt8o62Dnbc

[@privateinformation9384]

TheDailyWoo Adam, you should plan a trip where you do a state by state fan meet up. 😁

[@AimlessAdventuresVlog]

What town was that old Phillips 66 station in? ... The tiny one at the end of the video. There's another one similar to it in McLean Texas. I'm trying to track more of them down.

[@DougPhillipsGPlus]

@@AimlessAdventuresVlog looks like it was Altus, Oklahoma.

[@almorgan68]

Greetings Adam from the UK

[@AimlessAdventuresVlog]

@@DougPhillipsGPlus Thanks Doug! That's doable, it's less than a two-hour drive between the two.

[@pamelabrida945]

All these lonely ghost towns in the middle of beautiful prairie landscape. It's both eerie and sad. You're documenting a part of America most of us rarely see and I appreciate your efforts! Thanks, Adam! Take care & God bless you!

[@FloridaFreaks]

THIS IS GREAT! It’s almost like having The Daily Woo back again! Everyday we get a new WOO!!!! Much love brother. -Al

[@alexandreernani1199]

So Nice to be traveling with you across USA! Thanks Adam!

[@okiebatman6954]

Hugo Oklahoma cemetery is amazing. Lots of Circus performers and ornate unique headstones. Bullrider Lane Frost buried there. He was subject of movie 8 Seconds.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Also Freckles Brown who was Lane's friend and mentor. It's a great cemetery to explore.

[@HannabassProduction]

I know I’m late to the show, but my grandpa and my dad built the snowman made out of propane tanks. I’m also from that small town.

[@ladnarfilms5201]

If you went to what looked like Healdton, Oklahoma, you might have gone through Ardmore, Oklahoma which is where I reside and I'll give you a little bit of a history note. Ardmore, Oklahoma is where would be Reagan assassin John W. Hinckley, Jr. was born. And also, Healdton, Oklahoma is where Golden Girl actress Rue McClanahan was born.

[@Drummin003]

He was on the Eisenhower Bridge going west, so he had to have at least gone through Madill (Sand Bass Festival anyone?). If he stayed on 70 he would've passed the gas station at the entrance in Lake Murray State Park and popped out on the south side of Ardmore. From there probably Lone Grove, Healdton, Loco, Comanche, Walters, Frederick, Tipton, Altus.

[@jraoul711]

This series is very beautiful and kind of sad at the same time. I mean there's nothing doing in most of these areas and it seems like there's nobody living there anymore. But there's still a sort of beauty in old abandoned storefronts and dilapidated buildings and rusted out cars and equipment. It's like the land time forgot.

[@vincedude001]

Hey Adam, I grew up in Lawton Oklahoma, and It was nice seeing familiar city names in your video today. I appreciate you taking these small roads instead of sticking to Rt. 66/I-40/I-44 like most people do when coming through Oklahoma. While I love Rt. 66 videos, everyone films the same things in them.

[@ldbandv]

Vincent Oliveros I live near lawton

[@markhannah7861]

The first town you were in is Eagletown. That’s where I live. That ranch you passed belonged to my family for many years.

[@blakem9109]

Hugo, OK is know as “Circus City, USA,” b/c it was the winter home of some traveling circuses. There is a Showman's Rest section of the Mount Olivet Cemetery, which has some interesting headstones of former performers.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Just north of Broken Bow is Honobia and it has often been referred to as the Bigfoot capital. Supposedly tons of sightings. Hugo has a neat circus wintering grounds area as well as a circus cemetery. Funny thing about that worlds largest peanut. It was never the largest when it was made. No one knows who made or too many other details. Lot of little things where you went thru. Good to see you in Oklahoma again. Love how you wore your Lake Eufaula shirt for this one!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Oh nice ! Yea had to sport eufaula

[@TheChoochooboy99]

My family loved camping at Lake Eufala. Always took a spot at Blackjack Bluff. We miss it there sometimes.

[@RhettyforHistory]

@@TheChoochooboy99 That's a unbelievably huge lake. My grandparents used to take me there but I can't remember where exactly. I do remember jumping off big rocks into the water.

[@TheFinnMcGovern]

Your framing has been excellent lately. Some of these still shots are almost photos. Enjoying these backroads travels.

[@alianningson3829]

That has been my thought too. These are beautifully shot.

[@haroldburton3725]

Hugo was where, of all places, the two major circuses in America "wintered." Can you imagine elephants in Hugo? That's why you see so many circus-motif headstones in that beautiful cemetery.

[@melissadavis8237]

They are still there and also have an elephant sanctuary

[@TheBadassroadking]

I like your trips. Pretty cool, being from Oklahoma. I have relatives that live in Friendship, where I go dove hunting too. Altus - Pronounced like the name, "Al" -tus.

[@dupsztafion]

oh how much I would like that You stay in this travelling mood...

[@alyshal9853]

Love Oklahoma- such a beautiful state! Thank you for sharing your travels!

I live in Valliant. This is awesome.

[@ericneumann8509]

Counting Watertowers today 9 Total is 23. With 4 Standpipe tanks today.

[@justa.seeker4558]

We were down in Hugo last year, all the way from Sacramento. I'll tell you one thing fore sure people are a lot nicer. It's a much better life down south.

[@lovesPaulRodriguez]

Thought it would get busier the more you head West, but it hasn't. Love the solitude.

[@trevorrandom]

I really can't express how much I love looking at America with Woo ☺ ♥

[@nicklongo2939]

I would never go to these places or even know they existed so please keep these priceless gems coming whenever the mood to wander strikes Mr. Woo.

[@greghall1307]

Thanks Adam for taking me back in time. Kept looking for your Ford van in the video. Your the only one that can do this type of vlog.

[@jasonpeters9390]

After all these years people still watch and enjoy your vids adam keep them coming

[@richierich9875]

Watching every day from London UK. It’s just like the old days of Woooooo!! Long may Adam keep making similar videos!! Top bloke!! 💪🏻

[@richschindler8731]

Great traveling along with you on your journey. Just like the good ole days.

[@nekochanmurasaki22]

I grew up in Sulphur, OK and have been through many of the towns you visited. You should definitely come back when you get the chance, there’s always stuff to explore and find in Oklahoma.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Sulphur is a great place! I have many childhood memories visiting the park and lakes there.

[@haroldburton3725]

Not many people know that Sulphur once had a National Park called Platt NP. Now it's Chickasaw National Recreational Area (or something like that). My dad and I used to go to the Park to hike the trails into the mini-mountains. It was great fun. My best friend was from there too. As kids we would go to nearby Davis and "drag Main" looking to pick up girls on Saturday nights. Never landed a single one.

[@Jeremyoverton87]

Good to see you Come thru my part of Oklahoma still missed me by 20 miles tho.

[@RhettyforHistory]

There is a lot to see on those back roads!

[@garypowell4565]

Wow Woo! You just went through my neck of the woods there in Hugo, I graduated high school back in 1880, their in a little town north of Hugo bout 20 miles as a crow flies, called RATTAN, OK. We would go to Hugo or Antlers on the weekends and drive up and down the main street there and circle the Sonic and do it again. You weren't even a gleem in your mommas eyes then.

[@HypeX.W]

It's so sad all that history rotting away I am in the UK and we have towns like this but at least most people appreciate your videos so cool man

[@tonygourley4896]

Oklahoma ,where the wind comes sweepin' down the plains ! Those were nice old gas station signs , as well as the buildings w/ the old soda murals , and i might have been stoned, but i think i saw a snowman , a hard nut to crack, and a pig , farm-out man ,right arm dude ! Great stuff Adam ! Keep up the good ' Americana ' work my friend . I'll keep watching , won't i . . .? Thanks man , Bob.G.

[@donellemiller6680]

Am certainly enjoying your road trip Adam! The time goes by too quickly. So glad to see the small towns and country side, thank you so much for sharing this adventure.

[@mistergrandpasbakery9941]

My dad was born in Hugo. My most successful crappie fishing trip was at the base of Hugo Lake Dam! You should have gone to the Busy Bee Café in Hugo! 😋

[@marthadwyer2856]

I’ve always lived in the big city and watching you drive through these abandoned towns, alone just freaks me out. God bless you.

[@conniecrawford5231]

That open air hangar for the planes is great as long as the tornados don’t blow through.

[@Hotlilitalian]

Great Arnold impression!!! Love your videos!

[@teddyjakeddy975]

all the business in Broken Bow moved out on the highway where all the traffic is. That place with the planes belongs to Sky King and Penny.

[@elyssastinnett2026]

Or of course up to hochatown lol

[@davidullom]

Wind gust going? Lol....that was a gentle steady breeze for Oklahoma. Lol

[@dawan301]

Thanks Adam for giving insight on rural Oklahoma. That was a papermill factory in the beginning of the video. It is located outside of Idabel, Oklahoma.

[@larrymelton9243]

Loving the road trip, happy to be along for the ride. Great to have the Woo back on the road doin what he does best

[@OldMovieRob]

I used to live near Lawton. Rural Oklahoma doesn't look much different than I remember from years ago.

[@RCALivingStereo]

The modern Charles Kuralt I really enjoy these type videos you post

[@davido662006]

That Sinclair truck was in Marietta Oklahoma by Jiffy Jims.

[@gerryu21220]

Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain. And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet when the wind comes right behind the rain!

[@gabriel.954]

Great sharing time with you Adam! I really appreciate what you're doing. Quite inspirational! And yes, the old Sinclair mascot was a Brontosaurus. LOL

[@Jaxon_Wii]

Hi woo, Golden rule: love others... I love you, your a pro at this! And I enjoyed this Oklahoma vid. I have some relatives that live down in that area.... The Choctaw Indian Nation Labor Day fest is the big attraction. Free music, free 5k run, free carnival rides and free Indian dancing (free, free free, freee). The festival has arts and crafts too. The festival invites popular country bands and Christian bands too. You may have to make a u turn and come back to enjoy the 2019 Choctaw Indian Nations’ Labor Day Festival. It’s all free but the food and arts/crafts.

[@johnchandler271]

That was really enjoyable Adam, good to see the backroads of my home state, being represented. And yes I recognize some the stops in in Healdton and Commanche. Healdton is home to Shirey Coale Oklahoma Sooners women's basketball coach. That was a lot of fun.

[@jeb1273]

That part of OK is known as Little Dixie. The giant goober is in Durant, I think. (Pronounced DOOrant), and the "something going on there" is probably a paper mill. Also, someone mentioned Mt. Olivet cemetery in Hugo. Worth seeing. Oklahoma. Worth seeing.👍

[@DarkTerritory71]

When I see the old vehicles like the thumbnail??? I think to myself, "one day, a long time ago, someone bought that thing, brand new "!

[@MoMo-xb7nr]

🙃 woo and carpetbagger are having awesome adventures the past couple of months it’s so.... awesome!

[@anthonynielsen5682]

Hello: Mr. Woo Another great video. Traveling the back roads with the Woo. Cool !!!

[@elyssastinnett2026]

Omg I love this video, I'm from broken bow and I make that same trip to fort Townsend to see my family all the time 😂 my dad worked in the paper mill, and I've even attended the water melon festival several times growning up. It was just heartwarming a little to see

[@niallkennedy_]

Love when you impersonate Arnie it's the best I've heard yet.See you tomorrow I'll be back.

[@mustangcindy1303]

I love the little Phillips 66 building with the pumps. When I have a house again I am going to decorate the outside with antique signs like that residence you showed. I love that look. I bet you are tired driving a state a day. When you started out I was wondering if you were going through the large part of Texas in a day. That was going to be an undertaking. Guess if you go through Texas now it is just the smaller section. That’s better.

[@travistroup6481]

Youll love it i live right below oklahoma its beautiful and vast country with tons of old abandoned history

[@loridee1182]

The next month is the peak season for them but you're good after that. Really though it's great to visit any time.

You missed the Mt Olivett Cemetery in Hugo. It features the Showman's Rest section, which is all circus performers, including an elephant. There is also an elephant sanctuary in town.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Couple big rodeo cowboys in that cemetery as well. The elephant sanctuary is cool!
