[@toddventure]

This was a fantastic day Adam. It was a pleasure hanging with you and covering these places.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Had a lot of fun . Here’s to the next time beans are consumed

[@DMBabyGurlAdventures]

😂🤣 dying over both of you doing your Arnold impressions!!!

[@davidtowell3150]

Happy to learn of your channel through your visit with Adam. Now joined and look forward to checking it out

[@hugsscout]

just found today’s Glad you & friend enjoyed the day together

[@DestinationStone]

Such an awesome video! You guys look like you had a blast! Wish we could have been there to hang out! "What language are you just....?" *video ends* 🤣🤣

[@bubl8015]

Here is an idea for you : When you get time - you should really plan an Amtrak travel - travel all over the US and get off on stops, show off the train, sleeping car etc - you would really love this - WE would really love this -plus - you get to be on a TRAIN....i love your videos now - I just had a thought as I see the train....You are awesome

Morning Adam, “Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina”

[@markisb3585]

You must live here in North Carolina.

[@JP105INYO]

@@markisb3585 no, NY but used to have a home in Morehead City.

[@gimcrack555]

One of the Carolina's is going to be my retirement state. I used to lived in Jacksonville, NC and Port Royal, SC. Carolina's has the friendliness people on Earth. Both states are cheaper to live in as well. Yes, will be living near the coast. I love the ocean, so I visit the ocean every weekend. I currently live in Indiana near my parents. Taking care of my parents, since they are old.

[@trishagail353]

I'm glad you get to experience a few of our small towns in NC. They're all charming, but each has it's own distinct personality.

[@DannyWalker247]

That is for sure. I am a Kings Mountain native but I have lived in Daytona Beach for almost 50 years now. But I am still a Tarheel.

[@powerfulstrong5673]

I just don't know why there are very small numbers of evergreen broadleaf trees in most of the Southern United States which is supposed to have a humid subtropical climate.

[@rhondaz356]

Adam, these adventures are so enjoyable. It's great when you have a knowledgeable friend, such as Todd, with you. I'm enjoying these trips immensely. the endless 🚆 🤠👏😁 Arnold🤣😂

[@bilburns1313]

The "light saber" at about 9:25 looks like a hanger for a trolley wire. Maybe they had streetcars/trolleys/trams or electric buses at one time - though buses would have likely needed 2 such hangers for their 2 wires. Many US and Canadian cities that don't have trolleys, used to. "RY" stands for "Railway" believe it or not.

[@CorSmit]

Confession; I fast forwarded to the train part of the video - had to see that impressive locomotive first. I’m currently studying for my railroad engineer certification, hoping to become a fully certified train engineer by the end of the year! So, I’ve been enjoying your occasional train segments a lot

[@TheDailyWoo]

Glad to hear that . I try to leave a lot of full train footage in

[@toddventure]

So cool. Yea...I did mention to Adam to check out the Transportation Museum in Spencer NC. I did a video on it this past summer...the steamers and diesels are sick.🙂

[@CorSmit]

Thanks for your reply, @@toddventure I’m going to watch that video of yours right now!

[@toddventure]

@@CorSmit awesome!! Loving transportation this is definitely the place.

[@suedefringe]

@Cor Smit Fantastic! I got into trains thru my love of graffiti!

[@kevinconaway1727]

Never thought that train was gonna come to an end Adam, enjoyed the tour round with you Adam and Todd Ventures

[@natewrites7803]

You and Todd together are a dynamic duo! Fun!

[@jameyabernathy710]

Another cool fact in mccadenville which is Christmas town, the city pays every citizen’s power bill for the month of December so ppl will participate in putting up the Christmas lights so there’s no single house with no lights

[@dvk1895]

Great little hill town id love to see during xmas. We drove through and looked great. From nj and just love that area

[@littlesthobo182]

That is so awesome.

[@jcg336]

Only a few short years ago, there were lots of trains through these towns with the CSX railroad. My hometown in the NC mountains had at least one train an hour. When Obama was in office, he passed legislation on coal transport that greatly reduced the number of trains through my town, maybe only a couple a day. I really appreciate your excitement and showcasing of the trains!

[@annegallagher4005]

You two sure had fun together, was laughing quiet a bit with you both! You should voyage to Switzerland once in your lifetime Adam, we are a train nation (not as long as american trains though but we are a small country lol) with loads of different trains and locomotives, you would love it!

[@unknowntexan4570]

I like these far better than the ones from theme parks.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Glad to hear that . Theme park videos are milked to death

[@BrewCityGillz]

Adam, your Arnie impression always gets me. It’s the little things like that… That’s right! Come on! 💪🏋️‍♂️🕶

[@phatjoeent.1561]

Come to the east coast of NC sometime my friend. Plenty to see and do between the beaches and small towns of eastern nc

[@ArtsyPhartsy123]

Your travelogues are always captivating . You can make any little location look interesting and inviting. I wish we could have seen the actual goat 🐐 going by on a canoe.

[@soohiogal]

Excellent!! I enjoyed the interaction between you and Todd as much as the sights around the area. You two are hilarious! Especially loved the up close view of the train going through town. It's pretty rare you can get up right next to it like that. I think I've only seen that a few times. Oh, and great impressions !! lol!

[@keithandrobyndavis8023]

Todd was an awesome co-star...the two of you cracked us up!! Autotrain or Silver Line: seriously. You'd love train travel. Thanks for another great adventure!! Spin-off series? TOdd/ADam= 'TOAD'-Ventures???

[@contessalouannec8064]

Adam Beautiful Paintings. Thank You for sharing.

[@trish5556]

I have loved trains since I was a girl. A train came through my little hometown most every day and I would run down to wave to the engineer and conductor. I am so glad the engineer waved to you in this video! Silly me, I found myself waving too! Lol!

[@justinallman7049]

Hey Adam if you like Trains. You need to go to Spencer and Salisbury NC. Also you will like the murals in both towns. That's if the transportation museum is open. Still cool to see one of the first train stations built.

@@powerfulstrong5673 we do have them. Just not in towns. Have them in the country and out Mts. Might want to rethink your comment. Plus it's winter as well. Had a drought so things are dead.

Today I have much to doo, but first I SHALL join Adam the Woo!😎

[@jeannineroche5669]

Adam I look so forward to your videos everyday! I am really enjoying these road trips that you are taking! Thank you!😀

[@elakay4397]

I love trains, the sound of trains..to me its soothing...grew up living right next to the train tracks... when we heard them coming we would hurry and go put a penny on the track.

[@deliverancetwo]

I appreciate you Adam on for putting all of these great places on the map that people might not have known about.. Sidenote thanks for taking us on the tours of the movie locations as well

[@advlandvideo]

I am loving this series. Especially the old theaters. I have seen connecting theaters before. Perhaps the original method of twinning a theater. You have introduced us to so many KZbinrs. Thank you and keep it up.

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

Adam, come to Charlotte! I can show you around town. There are plenty of things here to see: several amazing statues, Carowinds and the Billy Graham Library (a free "presidential like" museum tour of moments from Billy Graham's personal life and it's also the location of his final resting place). You will absolutely love this truly BEAUTIFUL tour!

[@joescmoe4784]

That back and forth of the Arnold impressions was the laugh I needed today. Just two guys talking like arny, quoting quotes. Good stuff lol

[@TerryB751]

The thing with can opener bridges is by the time you're close enough to read how high it is, it's too late and you have to slam on the brakes to stop and then back up traffic in back of you.

[@suzannessweetkitchen6266]

LOL, Todd can't help himself not to eat the bean before you can show them. Another fun video. 😀

[@glenkay4478]

thank you Adam, you show me places I will never see or get to and I really enjoy it!

[@reneebarrow4697]

Another good one Adam. I love how you just keep them coming. You and Tony Venture hit it off and had a good time together, "THE TWO ARNOLD'S" 😂 Glad you are enjoying your life. Not many people have this opportunity. Be safe and happy trails.

[@_cal_techie]

Love the videos, Adam. Really enjoy the videos with local people that give insight to the small towns. The videos with trains always remind me of my grandfather, who worked for a railroad, and used to take me to the depot and watch people get off and on. Then once just before he died he took me on a train trip! Heaven!

[@helgabullabong]

The shots of that train were awesome! So happy you got a wave from the driver too! Great work.

[@lizcox1165]

Loving the videos Adam. Learning so much history. Glad you could spend time with Mama Woo.
