Cross Country Winter 2021 Road Trip Begins - Leaving California / Roadside Oddities & Unusual Finds

February 2021 Cross Country Road Trip Day One

[@SmokiesPlus]

That's what I'm talking about! I'm buckled in and ready to see roadside America vicariously through you!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Gonna be a fun ride

[@kingslmk]

Hopefully you checked the weather. Your path to the south is showing some severe weather the next few days. Be careful and have a safe journey.

[@hannahanderson4305]

Obviously he didn't or he would have waited to travel, winter storm warnings for much of the south was on all the news this past week, and travel advisories everywhere.

Hobo Joe's was a chain of coffee shops--each one had a smaller version of the statue you saw. They had great breakfasts and hamburgers, served with a freight train motif.

[@erichauck5747]

In the 70s there was a Hobo Joe's coffee shop a mile away from where I live. The Hobo Joe statue had a small dog at his feet and he was holding a tooth pick with a cigar butt.

[@beckygifford2754]

Hobo Joe in Buckeye was repainted and put back in a place of honor by the Main Street Coalition. He was sculpted by a Disney Sculptor- I am surprised that you missed that fact. The woman who pushed hard to have him restored was Charlene Broadbent. She loved the City off Buckeye and the Mayor fought her on restoring and replacing him in the city because he didn’t want Hobo Joe to be a symbol for the city. She had land donated by the Youngker family. Charlene placed Hobo Joe such as the Mayor can see him from the third floor of City Hall. Sadly my friend Charlene passed in January 2021 from Covid 19. May she Rest In Peace and Humor knowing great people like Adam will have Hobo Joe and Buckeye living on for thousands.

[@TheSWolfe]

I'm sorry u lost yr friend, but I'm glad she saved Hobo Joe & gave her contrarian mayor the ol' what-for. Blessed Be.

Love your toad trips Adam, especially when you take the road less traveled, Roadside Americana at its finest. Enjoy your trip East and safe travels 👍

[@denis65]

Be careful if you're coming through Texas in the next few days. It's like an Artic tundra currently!! Have a safe and fun trip!

[@psojourner8517]

Yes! San Antonio is below freezing level and many businesses are closed because of it. Please be careful!

[@earlenem5745]

Absolutely I'm here in Texas to and it is awful

I know how you feel -2 and counting here in Missouri 🥶

[@earlenem5745]

@@TravelingLifeofBrian yep keep snow up North but I am not ready for no 100 degrees round 72 to 73 just right perfect weather

[@L8-APEX]

Nothing beats some good ol' Americana. I've missed the roadside oddities and tourist traps so much. Thanks for doing this road trip! Videos like these are my absolute favorite. There's no one else I'd rather follow on a cross country trip!

[@ravensnhokies]

Agreed! My work and family life would never allow me to do this type of adventure but I'd love it. Its great being a passenger on the Grand Tour of I10 with the ATW as the captain. And thanks for all the wonderful sidetracks along the way, many long forgotten.

[@My5StarLife]

Love the Tim Tracker cactus 🌵. Excited to go along on another road trip with you!

[@elizabethmckenna5397]

Having just watched your friend Jacob the Carpetbagger Dixie Highway series, I am really looking forward to your travels. Please be safe and enjoy your discoveries.

[@MudFlap62]

YEAHHHHHH! Adams back on the road. Looking forward to the trekking videos homie. Enjoy your travels and be safe.

[@junejones4093]

Praying for a safe trip for you! So excited for you.

[@kathleeninkansas1770]

I believe that first “muffler man” is actually Paul Bunyan, hence the ax vs a muffler. Born and raised in MN and looks like familiar Bunyan

[@kathleeninkansas1770]

@@Mama32566 Yes! We have family pictures in front of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox from a family trip

[@sarahgreco9282]

I said the same thing to my daughter! We saw a Paul Bunyan and Blue Ox more than 20 years ago when visiting my cousin in Eau Claire, WI. We live in a suburb of Milwaukee.

[@jeffpierce3644]

Yes, Adam got it wrong, Muffler men were repurposed Paul Bunyan statues. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffler_man

[@jeffpierce3644]

Another interesting tidbit about that stop where there was a demolished lower torso next to a cleared out restaurant. It was a a complex that included a restaurant (Nickerson Farms), a gas station and a trading post. The legs belonged to an Indian statue outside the trading post. The restaurant was known for producing its own honey, so I found it interesting that Adam found a bee in his steering wheel.... www.placesthatwere.com/2015/11/arizona-nuthouse-and-demise-of.html

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

That house with all the quirky decorations was awesome! What a collection.

I loved it! Really cool. 😎

I totally agree! It made me happy to see it in the video. 👍

Safe travels Adam we’ll miss you in Cali... excited to see what great content you come up with on your way back home!

[@Jsteng08]

Yes Road Trip .love it. Love seeing the backroads of the country

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Man Airwolf was the best show! Great memories watching with my dad, I had a HUGE crush on Jan-Michael Vincent. This place is amazing! Thanks for showing it Adam 👊🏻

[@MichaelDelaware]

Hobo Joe's used to be a restaurant chain in the late 60's and disappeared in the late 70's. The statues used to have him holding a stick with a bag on the end, and there was also a small dog at his feet. This statue is a throwback for me, as I remember eating at those restaurants when I was a kid in Phoenix.

[@lrdj3426]

Also, thank you for your fantastic videos through out the years, love it. Keep up the great work Adam!

[@gregmacdonald3559]

Drive carefully. I know you are taking the southern route, but even in Texas they are having wicked winter weather. Thanks for taking us along with you!

[@mustangcindy1303]

The dinos look kinda cute with their overlays painted on them.~Never knew the origin of the line in the middle of the road. Learn something new today.~ I could almost feel the cold coming through my phone as I watched your video with the wind noise. 🥶~ Your car is getting dirt on it now so you wanna wash it. When you get to Florida the pollen is everywhere and that will be covering your car in no time like it does mine. Lol.~ Enjoy the open road and the journey. Be careful out there with the black ice and snow. I am sure you will see it along the way. 👍
