[@denisedarnell1641]

Get yourself some hard candies along the way, they can help you when u want a snack.. and then you show you bought them . Ha ha ha

[@travissapp4961]

Awesome 😁 that's a long drive

[@xMontorix]

As a truck driver out of Atlanta, GA it's so funny to see you stop at all of the places I'm literally at every single week. Been watching you for almost 10 years! Stay safe out there Adam!

[@patriottowing4973]

I was thinking the same thing, been watching since the days he didn’t even ask his mom, and today was it, I finally saw something I knew, at the end of the video the 3sec bridge crossing, I knew EXACTLY where that was I go over that bridge about everyday, very satisfying feeling knowing the Woo has crossed my path 😂. Safe travels ATW

[@ck4426]

Loved this video!!! Thank you for visiting Illinois!!! Love your small town adventures!!!

[@markames3794]

Like these traveling videos. Nice to see you on the open road again.

[@muthergoose4084]

glad you got to your destination safe and sound. And entertaining us along the way. My guess is you are on your way to watch the Rays taking on the Twins. Do me a favor and go to Matt's bar the home of the ORIGINAL juicy lucy.

[@ExKUKicker]

Wow! So good to see the backroads of America again with "The Woo". Keepin comin, Adam...such adventures! Meeting Superman and Honest Abe all in the same day?! The word of the day is...Awesome!👍🇺🇸

[@lorilofgren5445]

Welcome to my neck of the woods Adam! Just finished watching the video. Frank's Pizzeria is iconic around here. I actually live about 22 miles east in Geneseo but was in the Quad Cities this afternoon. Quite a storm we had. Looking forward to tomorrow's video.

Love your road trips - you covered a lot of ground! Thanks for showing the Super Museum ❤💛🖤

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, safe travels. Really enjoyed your video! Loved Superman and Christopher Reeve as Superman! He was my favorite Superman. Wish I could see some of Old Route 66! Looking forward to your next vlog.

[@robertrich9336]

Always loved your small town visits! 😊True Americana 🇺🇸

[@ShelleeGraham]

20:14 - Loved the American Robin atop Abraham Lincoln’s tall 🎩 hat. An appropriate bird indeed. 👍

[@mikebears26]

Don’t mind it at all. Loved every min of this video. Thank you Adam.

[@mattboyd1081]

In my neck of the woods Adam welcome to Illinois.

[@LinFo23]

You always find the coolest things in small towns!

[@RGA28]

My wife and I were in Metropolis just last week for the annual Superman Celebration! You should make the pilgrimage back there next year June 12-14. It’s a great event in a great small town!

[@johnelder6565]

wow, you're in my neck of the woods at the end of your video. thw Quad cities as us locals call it. I can't wait to see your next couple days video's stay safe.

[@joebinienda5283]

[@patf.3776]

Thank you so much for going into that Stuckey's. I haven't been to one in 59 years but still have the very fondest memories of family stops along Route 66.

[@melanieiwasko6010]

Happy Father's Day to all the Supermen out there❤

[@chloeswan3048]

Omg I live in Mount Vernon IL and I’m a big fan of your videos! I was shocked to see you next to the Michelin lady 😂 crazy to see you in my area of all places. Shawnee National forest has some really cool hiking trails on alltrails app. Trillium is one of my favorites! Drive safe

[@chloeswan3048]

I remember when we had to donate a penny for the Abe statue in first grade! Everyone gets prom photos with Lincoln and those steps lol

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

Happy Father's daybto your dad! This was fun. I love all your adventures. We travel a lot too. Great to see thongs we haven't found. Be safe...always ❤

[@brianwilke592]

Haven’t been to a Stuckeys in decades. They used to have them on the interstate all over the Midwest. I’m old enough to remember them on the old Route 66, now I55. Loved those pecan bars

[@TomHolz-e9x]

Holy mackerel! You must have had the pedal to the metal ! Great to see you! My home state , home of honest Abe ,the great rail splitter! Peace brother!

[@SeashoreRuby]

Great vlogging time for me, Jordan touring MN, Justin on Route 😊66 and you on your baseball adventure (I assume to MN) safe travels.

[@jesss2221]

You missed a lot of cool stuff in central Illinois. Come back during the day and visit the Lincoln sites in Springfield, the first city named for Abraham Lincoln, the worlds largest covered wagon, and much more!

[@misuegreene3561]

Really enjoy your vids of road trips, adventures, and Disney! Always look forward to them. 😊 happy Sunday!

[@makedamnsure1993]

every downtown in America is a vibes for me. the nostalgic vibes hit me 💯

[@ShelleeGraham]

3:01 What a beautiful Deco theatre 🎭 in Metropolis. It certainly must date to the mid 1930s. LOVELY!

[@amybailon6551]

One Summer I worked @ a Girl Scout Camp named Happy Halloween, in Elkhorn WI! It was a drastic change for this El Paso, TX desert rat! The week the campers tyed dyed t shirts & banadanas was the week that there was 2 Dead Head Concerts on Werkend end #1 & the following weekend # 2! Needless to say we had ALOT of “ 👀 looky- Lous” coming on to camp property wanting to camp out, short cut to Music Festival & Buy the dye t shirts! 😊😮😊😂 what a Great Life!

[@larryfischer2972]

George Reeves died 65 years ago today, on June 16, 1959. I was 5. He supposedly shot himself, but there was some doubt about that. I watched some of the Superman TV shows when they were first run, sometimes with my Dad. The later Superman episodes were filmed in color. We had one of the first color sets, which were mostly experimental at the time. My Dad actually worked with Philo Farnsworth on some of his TV experiments. Happy Fathers Day.

[@michelehood8837]

If you haven’t seen the film, “Hollywoodland,” with Ben Affleck as George Reeves - watch it. It’s terrific.

[@larryfischer2972]

@@michelehood8837 Thanks, I will!

[@timgraddy2418]

I grew up in Illinois and I live in S. Illinois welcome back 🎉

[@Zip-D-Dude]

My Dad's home town. The local newspaper was Named Daily Planet but it went out of business like so many others. The gentleman that invented Dippin Dots is from Metropolis as well. He might still be alive. Scenes from US Marshalls starring Wesley Snipes were filmed in the area. The "Blue Bridge" over the Ohio on the other side of 24 was seen in it.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Oh no kidding . Didn’t know it was used just that , very cool

[@ronaldhall2489]

I like 1 driving 🚗 day and 2 motel days. I live in Mt Vernon Alabama a stop in the road in north Mobile county. Always good to think back on kin

[@lewisedison4181]

hi great video thanks

[@markreardon3472]

Lucky to catch this notification. Thanks for sharing and be safe. Much appreciated! Two Thumbz 👍👍

[@lindamemo5224]

Poor Adam goes north to avoid heat and they’re hotter up there than we are here. Be safe enjoy the game In Minneapolis

[@pgelber]

Hey Adam, great video. I listen with headphones on and I hear a clicking on your videos, sounds like a autofocus lens trying to adjust. Just FYI.

[@smilingpolitely4100]

Good morning and Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there

[@dianadinger7343]

You were only 11 miles away from me when you were in Elkhart! It would have been great to have bought you a piping hot beverage!😊

[@Kelly30stm]

I live in the area of that Buccees lol. Waving at you Adam. 😂

[@GregNorton]

If you are headed back towards Spring Green and have the time, stop at Taliesin and take the full tour. One place we drove right by but couldn't stop to visit was the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois.

[@davie941]

hello again Adam , on the road again , drive safely on your travels, well done and thank you 😊

[@queserasera1674]

This was an enjoyable road trip. Did you make it to the Bates Motel? Is that why the blog ended so abruptly? Norman are you holding Mr. Woo hostage?

[@michelehood8837]

A friend of mine from work is a Superman fan. He and his wife drove from Nashville to Metropolis to see the total solar eclipse in April. Of course, they fit in a visit to the Superman museum, which he loved.

[@MaDNess1969]

Midwest travels, have the best small towns! Thanks for the content safe travels to you Adam 😎✌️

[@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093]

Wow, you passed within one mile of our wacky world in Kentucky. Since last time you stopped in, we had a fire that took out one of our buildings, and several weeks ago, a tree fell and crushed our western town during a storm. The Hillbilly slide is still around. Enjoyed your tour of Metroplis and the Super Museum.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Sorry to hear about the storm damage . If I wasn’t driving 800 miles I would have stopped but was moving fast

[@jezzp2]

My 4xs great uncle was an Illinois state senator with Lincoln. A group of senators were called the Long nine, which Lincoln was a part of. They were over 6 feet tall. There is a museum in Illinois

[@robinlee6295]

The Mother Jones grave and monument is in Mt. Olive, Illinois off I-55 south of Litchfield. Her story is very interesting.

[@zig_zagman]

Loving the Metropolis material. Dare I say that this is a "Super" episode.

[@IanOConnor-mi2rb]

Love the small town Americana!

[@dannymartin1114]

Being the only person at a rest stop is one of the simple pleasures of the long road trip.

[@jennieluhman6464]

Welcome to Illinois. If you make it to Rockford, let me know. Would love to show you around.

[@RobOlgatree]

wow, cant believe you blew off Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, the other candidate where you were contemplating to move.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I’ll get back there one day . No plans to anytime soon tho

[@loriwalker5922]

You skipped Ohio where I live. lol I know what it is like to drive that far. Last weekend I drove from Ohio to Florida & back to Ohio in 4 days & 3 nights. Thanks for the video Adam! Safe travels

[@Blessedbyadoption]

When were you and Calhoun Georgia? We went through there 6 o’clock Saturday morning. OK, I literally think that you were right behind us coming back from Florida. We live in Carbondale Illinois.

[@stephenthomas2293]

Happy Father’s Day Dads! Being a Dad myself is the greatest. My son and I love The Daily Woo. It’s the one thing we watch together, that’s another reason why The Daily Woo means a lot to me.

[@JanetThomas-sy8hs]

Happy Father’s Day everyone.

[@rufus_the_cat]

Right back at ya buddy!

[@drsandy842]

Your trip is going to occur during an unusually hot summer temps very unseasonally warm. Have fun happy to tour with you!!

[@jrfree88]

It sounds like a Geiger meter is going off. Are you sure you aren’t around some krypton?

[@GregsGameRoom]

There was something special about Christopher Reeve’s performance as Superman… He used his gifts selflessly(I think of that scene in Superman II when he saves the woman and her baby from the falling antenna. He smiles at her when she says “Thank you!”) We should all strive to be more like him. Give of yourself and it will return to you tenfold.

[@denisedarnell1641]

His best role was "SOMEWHERE IN TIME " filmed on the world famous Mackinac Island in Michigan with Jane Seyymour !!! Love that movie ❤and it helps it was filmed on one of my favorite places in Michigan , metro Detroiter my whole life and counting

[@johnp139]

Just don’t fall off your horse!!!🐎

[@Brian_Buckley]

We did 750+/- on Thursday from Ohio to KS then another 600+ on friday from Kansas to Glenwood Springs Colorado! Oye! I feel ya!

[@thecomicdrill]

You should do a trip to Covington GA where they filmed In the Heat of the Night, Dukes of Hazard and many other tv shows.

[@jacobkrug]

love your videos

[@dcd715]

Fit by 50 baby. Looking good Woo man. You may have to start following Auburn again the way the Rays are going 😜

[@BrewCityGillz]

20:45 - I had the same thought too… bird seemed real, then fake, then real. 😂

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Nice 😊

[@BenRusk11]

7:25 lol right when i saw batman, i thought of deadpool.. then i saw deadpool haha

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Adam, there is a GREAT Movie with Dean Jones called The Great Man's Whiskers (a made for TV movie) that tell the story about the little girl and the letter she wrote to President Lincoln about shaving his whiskers. It is a WONDERFUL movie, but I can't find it online. Also, Dennis Weaver played President Lincoln and Dean Jones was the little girl's father.

[@jamelpickett4908]

Hey buddy you just missed the superman festival last weekend!

[@gabrielcardenas8290]

Good morning Adam the woo really appreciate these travel vlogs and blessing us with your views through out these safe travels

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thanks for watching . Glad you enjoy them

[@kpyrz]

Why does it sound like you're carrying a Geiger counter with you everywhere? 😂

[@johnp139]

All of that Kryptonite!!!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Adam 🌞😎📸 the back roads are the best small towns. Good to see your up now, kind of waiting a while lol. Take care. I'm in Louisville Kentucky, Happy Father's Day to ur dad Adam.

[@JohnColie143]

This video starts off strong, I just had to stop and comment. That Tennessee welcome center building is very cool looking! The Fruit Stripe truck is also amazing. I feel like if there was a Hot Wheels/Matchbox version of that when I was a kid, I would have had it. Continuing on with the rest of the video now...

[@ronlee1949]

If Superman originated in Cleveland, Ohio, I wonder why his home is metropolis Illinois? A question to make you scratch your head.

[@JBERRY603]

Do u usually rent cars for road trips? Just curious.

[@lostonwallace1396]

Lincoln was an inch taller than you, Adam. He stood at 6'4", which interestingly enough, is also Superman's height in the comic books.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Nice !

[@FunAtDisney]

If you get the chance you should go out to Galesburg, IL (not far from the Iowa border). It is the home of Knox College. We checked it out but our kid decided to go to another college but that college goes back to when Lincoln was running for Senate and had debates at that college. That main building is still there with a lot of history including the very chair Lincoln sat in!

[@a201will]

they do have fruit stripe gum semi trucks, but they don't last long

[@erlyne0]

So much packed into one day! Loved it!

[@oldmomj5088]

It is not a fire in 1871 but the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Also most cities in Illinois are pronounced the French pronunciation so Moline is pronounced Moleen. Have a fun and safe trip

[@pchts1]

Abraham Lincoln was 6‘4“, and the fiberglass muffler lady actually was selling Uno royale tires

[@Blessedbyadoption]

You were a hour away from me!!! Metropolis I’ll is not far

[@ronniecardy]

You get the gas door fixed ?

[@CourtneysCockpit]

I almost went to metropolis this weekend. Couldn't afford orlando. Decoded on a road trip from louisville. Metropolis, chatanooga or michigan city. I chose michigan city and some roadside attractions :) vlog coming soon:)

[@chitownkid8716]

We Adam said there was a traffic jam because of a wreck and the next scen was an airplane stuck in the ground, my heart might have skipped a beat or two.

[@toddryan0108]

That’s a very advantageous day of travel. 800 miles is no joke.

[@shaunspeers2656]

27:01 I was at that rest area almost a year ago!

[@kihasawedgie]

I love driving and exploring new places! Have fun and stay safe!

[@Silent_Rage2]

That could be the worst candy of all time, peppermint starlites

[@jhngh411]

You really need to get to Gettysburg.

[@nadiaborzacchini1987]

I love superman thanks for sharing

[@chade.7948]

You skipped Indiana, bro! 😂 I don’t think you’ve ever explored Southern Indiana. We have quite a few really cool things to check out!

[@levcath13]

Fun video❤❤❤

[@MikesVegas]

Abraham Lincoln was 6 foot 4 ! 😎

[@debbieparker5377]

The Durham Bulls are the Rays Farm Team.

[@knight20121960]

Superman was co-created by a Canadian: Toronto-born artist Joe Shuster created the superhero with American writer Jerry Siegel while they were still at high school in Cleveland in 1933.

[@julialogeman6026]

Love you visited my hometown the theater was up to getting renovated but the guy doing the project had health problems had to abandon the project

[@g-manazapp6088]

So, I’ve narrowed your destination down to either heading to Minneapolis to see your Rays tangle with my Twins, or………to my hometown of Harmony, MN to visit Niagara Cave and get some great cave video footage. Either way, have a great visit in the my birth state. Niagara Cave was discovered 100 years ago, by a farmer searching for some lost pigs.

[@kenpalmer985]

Slow these rd trips down . No rush take it easy . Like glen frey says
