The Hidden Backroad Small Towns & Non Tourist Areas Of North Florida - New Years Road Trip Day One

Small Towns of North Florida

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Good to be back on the road . Always open to suggestions but focusing mostly on backroad and small town stuff as much as possible . I’ll be around Georgia for the next series of days

[@chaos88]

Great to see you back on the road. It's cool to see some towns just north of me that I have not explored. Thanks for what you do.

[@matthewscofield8979]

Hey Adam! When you head to NC please check out Cameron NC. A group of artists , originally “The Barnstormers” came down from NY to paint murals on old tobacco barns. They are scattered about in this small town and years ago it was said you could visit the antique shop in downtown Cameron and obtain a map of where they all are! No one has really covered these amazing structures and would love your take on them. I’m not an avid you tube creator but I do live in Raleigh and have been to Cameron to see them myself. I would be able to meet up with you and show you the ones I know of if my schedule allows. Safe travels sir!

[@jbellflowers]

I'll let my friends in Valdosta know. Wish I was back home to show you the area. Loved seeing the car towed it's been years since I've seen it done that way. Safe travels and get some boiled peanuts!

[@markwilliams4525]

I was in most of the places you were in Yesterday myself from tallahassee (originally from panama city) and must have just missed you! We even bought the same orange juice you had. Well have a safe trip!

[@tinytattoomike7943]

Happy New Year Adam I’m so happy to be back I left last year because of all the Disney after watching you for years and I can honestly say you are also back Back like Arnold!

[@ItsAllForYouDemon]

Always dig these. This is the stuff the average person never gets to see. We are always in such a hurry to get where we are going, taking the direct route, we sometimes miss all the beauty of small town America. Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to your adventure. Take care.

[@fs357mag]

These videos should be preserved by the Library of Congress. Seriously. They are like the WPA projects from the 1930’s where people ventured across America, documenting small town life.

[@Retromicky82]

I totally agree. Videos like this are very important for documenting how towns are changing etc .

[@judydeese6420]

Agreed. My book Tampa the Treasure City is in the Library of Congress. Adam has grown into a great photojournalist. I think he is Florida native or grew up here.

[@AM711]

Similar to Wonderhussy, he's a KZbin huell howser (who does have an exhibit at Chapman U). I think they could both do books of their fav spots, & they're my travel channel

[@timgerard262]

Another priceless Adam moment, random guy pops out of the bushes with a bottle of beer and says, "do you wanna see the state line runnin' through my house?"

[@acgillespie]

It was the mission god sent him to earth for just for this moment and all for us

[@josepharturi5442]

I was a little bit scared for Adam at that moment! Wonder if he considers himself a FL or GA resident? Which state does he pay taxes to? He can be an episode in himself!

[@joepusateri4117]

The Lawn Mower with the trailer hauling a shopping cart was worth the price of admission alone. Great video.

[@cherrydouglas1559]

My Dad was a Presbyterian minister and after he retired he preached in one of these little small Presbyterian churches outside Thomasville, Ga. in the middle of nowhere. Great memories.

[@nicklongo2939]

These road trips are why I follow this channel.

[@sherrikrienke2741]

Thanks for your video! Steel Magnolias is my mom’s salon and it’s actually the big building 🤣, which used to be an orange packing business. That little building was the post office from the early 1900’s (her father was the postmaster) until the late 90’s. It used to sit at the s-curve on old 301, but semis kept hitting it. Also, my dad built those buildings with a lot of local vintage signage. It’s so interesting to see a candid outside perspective 😊

[@mentalrobb5062]

I grew up in Gainesville and in the 80's and early 90's my mom would take me over to Waldo on the weekends. Those abandoned buildings in the downtown area used to be awesome antiques and collectible shops. I would score comics and action figures there all the time. The grass area by the railroad museum where the christmas decorations were used to be fulled with flea market type tables on a Saturday.

[@b.a.d2249]

Can't cha smell that smell

[@comedykitchenwithchefcell]

Insanely glad you're back on the road. Back to my best routine....piping hot caffeinated beverage and non-tourist road trips. Can't thank you enough.

But thank you so much for doing these videos I'm very very sick right now with three tumors in my brain and I'm bedridden now I am your age 47 I never thought my life would be like this I appreciate more than you know my friend you don't need to write back I hope you read this thank you again for doing all you do I hope someday you'll bring your dad again on some of your videos that was one of my favorite episode that you did with your dad going across where you guys used to live anyways God bless brother thanks again Curt

Wonderful to see American country that most people don't know about, watching from Ireland - please keep making these videos, they are fasinating, thanks again x

[@viv12ana]

Great to see you in Reddick area. I live in Marion County. Plenty of historic gems in North Central Florida. The Yearling area is great with the Rawling museum and restaurant.

[@johnbartholf777]

Waldo is the halfway point for driving from Jacksonville and all of NE Florida to the University of Florida, but we're usually so busy looking out for the speed traps, we don't look around too much. Another EXCELLENT job! Thanks so much for spending time here!

[@UltraRyan-uf9ox]

Soooo true

[@GDSTX]

Ever time I see you in small towns with downtowns boarded up - I dream of what they Could be with the right person stepping up - I just wish the younger generation would take on these towns and bring them back to life!

[@vicaroo001]

I always wonder what people do for a living in these towns.....

[@lindajohnson4204]

@@vicaroo001 1. Some commute to a job elsewhere, and 2. some farm their land, or have farm service jobs. 3. Some, probably most, do some of both. 4. Some are retired on the family farm.

[@glennwall552]

They need fiber optics then like my country with the pandemic and folks working from home, companies found money saved was great so allowed employees to remote logo in with monthly meetings. Productivity also rose. For workers it's life style and savings as they can write off home offices etc.

[@trish5556]

You passed by so many familiar spots. When we lived in Ocala we would drive through Citra, Waldo, Starke...on the way to my in-laws in Jacksonville. We also have relatives who lived in Reddick. I recently re-read a book an old friend gave me years ago that his brother wrote about the old Florida in the Cross Creek, Island Grove area. It is called "Florida Sand, Still In My Shoes." He grew up there in the early 1900's when everything centered around the railroad. Some of the old houses almost hidden in the woods that you filmed remind me of what I read about houses he lived in. Thank you for sharing all the "forgotten" towns in Florida, mainly off Hwy 301. Maybe on your way back you will visit some other forgotten towns such as Micanopy and McIntosh off Hwy 441. There are so many back roads in Florida to travel and find interesting communities.

[@jeffcampbell4602]

I, too, enjoy the quiet charm of these "forgotten" small towns and villages. I find your approach very enjoyable: you find humor in many of the oddities that you find and yet you never "make fun" or look down your nose at the people involved. It's a fine line to walk but you do it perfectly. Your humanity always shines through. Thank you.

[@gunlakepaddlesports]

Northern Florida is still unique and amazing. Met my wife of 24 years in Chiefland, Fla, durning a job transfer from Michigan. Although she has since passed away, you're travels in your past and present videos through this area, bring back good memories . Been back to visit myself. I have not since encountered a place quite like norther Fla. Thank you.

[@b.a.d2249]

Chiefland area is nice it's Ben awhile Pinellas county here

[@LeAnimal65]

Very cool to see the infamous Swanee River (famous song written by Stephen Foster in 1851). Have fun, stay safe, and thanks for sharing. Adam!

[@Phillyguy316]

One place you may want to check out is Wakulla Springs near Tallahasee. I was there a few years ago and several of the Tarzan movies and even the underwater scenes in Creature From The Black Lagoon were filmed there.

[@susanlongb4]

My absolute favorite type of Woo videos. Love these off the beaten path places. Some feel almost familiar like places I saw as a child on vacation in the 60s and early 70s. Good, oblivious times

[@LalilandwithLali]

Lochaloosa post office (where the train was) was always a stop my dad would make in the '90's on our trips to Orlando..... one year it was completely covered in Love-bugs lol My dad loved 301 & all the quirky stops. We just lost him unexpectedly in November but he would've loved this vlog. 🧡

[@sharonpeek4578]

My ex-husband had a great uncle whose home was built on the meeting point of three different Georgia counties. Whenever he was arrested (which was often, apparently), officers from all three counties had to be present, because all he had to do to evade officers from one county was to go into another room of his house. This was probably back in the 1930s and 40s.

[@richc6180]

Route 301 was my introduction to the South and Florida in the mid 1970's. Driving from Long Island NY to Ft Lauderdale in the days before I-95. Many small businesses thriving, catering to the traveler in those days. Hams, fireworks, guns, peanuts, pecans, and further south, oranges and grapefruit galore. It was also the occasion of my first visit to South of the Border prior to its huge expansions. Great memories, thanks for the flashback.

[@trish5556]

I too first traveled on 301 when my family was visiting relatives in Tampa, and we drove from New Hampshire. Stayed in Mom-and-Pop motels too. Miss those days. It was on one of those drives I saw the goat man with his team of goats pulling his cart.

[@sherbearb.1593]

Will be watching daily. Love watching you and your adventures. Your personality and comments, even your looks remind me so much of my dad whom I lost in 2004. Your sense of humor makes me laugh out loud just like his always did. I thank you for your shares. I must confess, I started watching your New Year tour on Sat the 8th, so am just not getting to this one. But plan on watching daily Mr. WOO.

[@Lajune01]

I grew up in Central Florida , the first 25 years of my life was spent there. I am very much enjoying your videos of rural central Florida. This is the Florida I know, and the Florida I reminisce about when i think of home. It's really neat seeing these old towns that we used to drive through.

[@frankcurci3045]

Absolutely love your road trip videos, keep up the awesome work! Florida native and enjoy the small places you discover!

[@peanutismint]

I really appreciated you taking time to show the map; gives us all a better idea of where in the country/state you are in that episode. Hope you’ll keep showing that! 👍

"the only thing missing in this coin laundry is 'u'" That's pure poetic genius!!! Great job, Adam. Good to see you back on the road.

[@thomasgraham8563]

I really like how you brought out the map to show your route. I like exploring maps. One of things I love about your videos is your Commentary. I have the same thoughts run through my head as I drive around. Things you capture in your videos are the same things that catch my as I'm driving around on road trips. I really like all your videos.

[@mgratk]

Great start to a surely amazing series Adam. Have fun! Thanks for documenting these small, mostly forgotten, places.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Fun fact - Stephen Collins Foster was from Pittsburgh PA and had never seen the Suwannee River but chose it because the name “ worked” in his song! Pittsburgh has a museum dedicated to this famous songwriter who was known as “ the father of American music” but died in 1864 with 37 cents in his pocket! “Way down upon the Swanee River, far , far away”

[@genekelly8467]

Actually, he wrote about the "Pee Dee River" in Georgia-but liked Sewanee better.

Way back in the day before the interstate, there were speed traps, repair scams, and overpriced cafes all along the way from Georgia through Florida. Always was an adventure because there were really nice people amid the scammers. Valdosta was our go to for old time outdoor bbq.

[@susanhodges699]

His name is David Yulee...pronounced like you lee not yule. He was very important in the development of the railroads in Florida. He was known as the "Father of Florida Railroads". There is what use to be a small town named after him (Levy county in FL is named after him too) in north Florida on the east coast on I95 just above Jacksonville. Small town Yulee has gone by the wayside as it has now grown crazily. Fun fact...NFL player, Derek Henry is actually from Yulee not from Jacksonville as they usually say on TV.

[@georgesealy4706]

I did a satellite Google view of that area. Yes, the satellite view seems to confirm that there was a railroad grade right through there. South of Reddick there appears to be some RR tracks still in place. Then the grade winds north right past the bank. The person with the RR sign probably wanted to preserve the history and the precise location of the tracks.

[@donallen9885]

The Atlantic Coast Line RR did indeed go through Reddick. Just north of Reddick is McIntosh which has a well preserved ACL depot. For at least 60 years the ACL and Seaboard Air Line RR competed with each other in this part of Florida. They merged in the 1960s and redundant lines were abandoned.

It's always great to see the backroads of Florida. I grew up in Central FL and when I was a kid there was no Interstate highway. We would drive to SC to see relatives and it was always what was then the main road, like Hwy 27, 19 or US1 etc.

Ok, that stateline smack dab in the middle of two residents was just hilariously mindblowing!!!! wonder if those residentials still have the original business floorplans, lol. it was very gracious of that gentlemen to allow you to come onto his property to video, wish you could've stayed and chatted with him for a bit, I think it would've made for interesting conversation.

[@lindajohnson4204]

If the guy shows up to see the video, I hope he speaks up! Hi, Florida/Georgia guy! Merry (late) Christmas, and Happy New Year!

[@lindajohnson4204]

The conversation definitely adds a dimension to the video. Not too much, or you lose the quiet, observing aspect of travel, but you wouldn't pass up opportunities to talk to people as you travelled, either. It allows some to be no nothing but superficially blowing through town, just looking, and some to be a little more in-depth. That added to this video, definitely. Plus, it was a nice, friendly exchange. We can sure use more of those.

[@cookies-n-cream728]

I was thinking the exact same thing. It would be nice if Adam hung out with locals a little more and got a little background information on the areas he is visiting instead of just reading the plaques.

[@tallboyyyy]

I've traveled US 301 from Baldwin to just outside Ocala many many times. It used to be that the towns of Lawtey and Waldo were famous for their speed traps. So much so that there were large billboards as you got close to these towns warning of speed traps ahead. AAA paid for the billboards after designating these towns the worst speed traps in the country. In 2014 Waldo folded it's police department after a ticket quota investigation. Lawtey elected a new police chief after the previous police chief of more than 50 years retired and changed policies. Both towns have been taken off AAA's speed trap list in recent years.

[@trish5556]

I remember that from the 1980's - 90's when we drove from Ocala to Jax.

A quick online search yielded this: "The former Reddick State Bank is located in Reddick, Florida. It was built in 1923 but closed in 1930. In 1942, the former bank became the town's post office. The building currently appears to be abandoned".

[@jasonfields192]

The great depression closed it down I'm sure

[@lindajohnson4204]

Look again:". . . at the home of Dr Benjamin Waldo." David Levy Yulee was a governor of Florida. If I remember my reading correctly, he owned the railroad which hauled Cedar Key's cedar away to make pencils. Yulee, Florida, up near Fernandina Beach, was named after him.

Love the concept. There are so many hidden gems that were once bustling centers of commerce and communities prior to being bypassed by the interstate systems. Do you know how NYC got the nickname "The Big Apple"? Some say it came from a dance that originated in Greenville, SC.. The story of Charlie Fitzgerald and "Charlie's Place" is another one that isn't widely known but very interesting.

Geography has always been a tough subject for me. Your shows actually help. It gives me something to relate to each state and how they connect. If I was a teacher, I'd show your vids in class!
