Getmeouttahere Erik
United States
Приєднався 23 вер 2011
After years of creating travel blogs: still photography & journals - I finally decided to start uploading travel vlog videos of unique and fascinating places across the United States.
Why GetMeOuttahere?
When I graduated college nearly 15 years ago (2010) in the midst of the recession I was having a hard time finding full time employment and mixed feelings about what I wanted to do with my life. Living in rural Iowa at the time, I found that getting out of the house and exploring nearby state parks and county museums filled me with positivity, introduced me to fascinating people, and motivated me to be more productive in life.
I created the phrase "Get Me Outta Here" as an expression to get out of the house. You don't need to travel around the world to discover fascinating people and places, these features are all around you in your own backyard.
Perhaps some of these places will motivate you to get out of your house and explore the history and culture around you.

That mouse ride is the reason my back is always hurting.
@@RyderErdmann so much pain
At 27:28 you say, "I don't think that's a pterodactyl" but right after at 27:37 while reading the display you say, "It's a pterosaur", which is correct. A Pterosaur IS a pterodactyl NOT a Dinosaur! The Daspletosaurus, years ago, was in the Grand Hallr lobby in an upright position over the Lambeosaurus. Back then it was called a Gorgosaurus.
The downstairs room has a metal ceiling with a pipe that drops water like rain on an outdoor shack, water dropping down so you could see sssssoooo cool! excellent video
I went tubing from beyond the first bus ride I tuned for 5 hours and it went so fast I have been here for 20 years and never did this until yesterday
Whenever I'm in the area working I'll get two canteens, a bag of sterzing's potato chips, and a chocolate malt. I've never attempted three but I'm sure I could do it.
This place would be a great place for a horror movie 🎥 The Addams Family/Munsters would love it for a vacation spot
What’s going on its place?
A new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with a Guitar Hotel.
I ate at Canteen Lunch many times when I lived in Ottumwa. Great place! Also, when you are in Ottumwa, get ice cream at Graham's Dairy Freeze on West 2nd Street.
@@TommyFresh521 Definitely will, love old ice cream parlors

Zoo Docent here Some zoos neuter their male lions early, in which case they would not develop their manes and would just look like female lions. That may be the case here.

I live next to Omaha so I visit almost every Wednesday
The instant I saw the interior, I knew the food was gonna fuckin' rock.
Thanks for posting this. This video popped up when I was looking for info about my upcoming esophageal motility test and the 24 hour PH probe. I had the test this morning, and I am currently looking like you with the wire up my nose. I felt a bit more prepared having seen this video. I am managing the wire down my throat just fine, but I am glad to have a "stay-at-home" day. The motility test is certainly unpleasant, but I had the most supportive technician, I breathed, relaxed, and got through it quickly. For me, the hard part was getting the wire down my crazy, deviated nasal passages. I was a challenge for the technician, but she managed for both tests. I asked for lots of numbing gel!!
@@mckayfam Haha Best of Luck, sounds like you’re staying positive!
I used to visit the Drover. Ambiance is great. The last time was when I took my father for a Father's Day dinner. He loves the Drove's cowboy vibe. We both had the off-menu porterhouse for about $70 each. It was horrible (much gristle and cartilage). Not being complainers, we resolved to finish and leave, but when the server asked about the meal, we told the truth. Have never been back, though I drive nearby all the time. On a positive note, their baked potatoes are the best I've had, but who goes to a steak joint for a potato?
@@itzkatsawayo What’s your favorite steak house in Omaha?
Awesome video
@@michaeldalessandro3020 Thank you
I've been to an event at the Henry doorly zoo that took place in the evening. They actually flip the lights in the kingdoms of the night section so that the animals still go through a day/night cycle.
Very cool
Was there anybody else there in that road or were you the only one there?
@@akotohirosaki8868 only one there and my brother was on traffic duty
I kept hearing Monty Python "get on with it" in my head during this entire video.
Hi, thank you very much for your video. I really enjoy your excitement in your voice and facial expression for the trip. I am hitting the road with my two children next week. I've got a book and a map, and your video has been a good visual guide. And will use the rest of your videos as I go. Much appreciated~
@@xiaolingsundberg9182 Thank you, glad to hear. Enjoy your adventure, Route 66 is a journey you’ll remember for the rest of your life!
I remember something about the city wanting to tear down the Canteen to build the parking garage. That woke the people up and a compromise was reached to build it over the Canteen. Probably prevented a riot. Friend took us there when we were waiting for a late Amtrak. I have since brought several people there for their first time.
@@kenvandevoort7820 I’m always amazed relics like this get threatened by mundane commercial structures. Glad this classic restaurant was saved for people to enjoy.
9:30 pm, too bad the narrator didn't know the pink Edsel from a pink Cadillac!
@@williamfertenbaugh7940 lol I missed the fine print on the toy car.
That strawberry rhubarb pie looks too delectable not to try.
The pie is amazing
Home😢😢😢. I have memories of this place from the seventies as well.

There's no skipping the fudge factory...ever.
Got to go on many fieldtrips to Pioneer Village in the 70's. Thanks for showing me my memories!
@@elvisgrr Place is a gem, glad you enjoyed it
My son’s Godmoms live down the road in Franklin. You did a wonderful job showcasing this!!!
Thanks, really enjoyed this place
Question...wild mouse more painful than a traveling chance toboggan coaster? Lol I get it
Arnolds Park actually had one of those spiraling toboggan coasters back in the late '90s. My adult self says the wild mouse is more painful, that being said I had a classmate that bruised his back because the vertical lift failed while on the toboggan coaster, so that may win!
@@GetmeouttahereErik and don't forget the gentle bunny hill at the end....ooooof
I've always been curious...was civilization nearer by turning around or continuing straight?
Haha given that Farmington, NM may be the closest town, continuing straight may be your best luck.
Thank you!
@@terrielilley3456 You’re welcome
Everytime I go back home to Wichita Ks, I stop for a Nu-Way. I grew up near the Nu-Way at Ridge and Central, great sandwich...sorry for going on a tangent hahahahha
@@biowerks I need to try this place
Man I miss Maid-Rite. I live in California now, so I can’t get it. I remember my grandfather taking me to Canteen Lunch. My grandparents lived in Ottumwa. When we’d visit them, he’d take me there for lunch. So good!
hello brother how is your shoulder now ?
I tubed 3 or 4 times, last time I went I saw a few snickers bars floating down the river. Between that and all the people peeing in the river I will never go again. So much pollution too, cans on the bottom, plastic bottles trash the people just don't appreciate the beauty, we are lucky to have the river. Noise pollution too, party raft on the river with 20-30 tunes tied together radio blaring loudly. If you are looking for a peaceful float watching the beautiful scenery go by, try somewhere else.
Haunted hamburger wassss soooo good 😂 I was supposed to go for the burger but stayed the whole day exploring. Really unique town.
The inside looks like a smaller version of the Lanford Lunch Box on Roseanne! You can definitely tell she drew inspiration from the Canteen Lunch!
Great video. Love that part of the US.
Title’s wrong. It’s not even the best in Kansas City. It’s good, but ppl exaggerate.
Not to mention it is Oklahoma not Kansas City and shame on them for misleading people.
The Oklahoma Joe's is located in a gas station in KCMO.
i hope to find a flannel shirt like yours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for posting videos!!!!!!!!
Joe’s is really good, but far from the best.
What a dump
