Only the Carpetbagger is cool enough to wake up in a hat.
I was hoping he would continue the previous video this way!!!
😅
This one i agree 😂
I loved the Mystery House tour guide. That's a guy who loves his job and is probably having a little too much fun with it. "My personal record for someone trying to find Nemo is 25 minutes."😂😂😂😂😂. But what really caught my eye were the hotel key chains. I used to collect them from family road trips, and at one point I had a shoe box full of them. Unfortunately, that was a half dozen times moving, and a divorce ago. Still have a few left though.
it was cool that this was like a private tour too! i usually see tour videos with a group of people, this must've been so neat to experience this way
“If I can’t have fun at work and have a good time I probably shouldn’t be a funeral director.”
@@prussiaaero1802You can't have "funeral" without "fun."
I just have to say, I have a lot of respect for how hard you must work. I took a long road trip recently and it was a lot of work in and of itself and I imagined trying to film and edit a video each day and know I couldn't do it. I was also so busy, I wasn't able to even keep up watching your videos. It took me a solid effort to catch up on all of them when I got back home. I have no idea how you do it! You have to be one of the hardest working people on the platform!
Raven’s Cross!!! My old stomping grounds!!! I was an actor there for 4 seasons and have so many fond memories of that place. My favorite year was probably when I played a doctor in the apothecary scene. That table in the middle of the room got knocked over more than once by scared guests. You have to go back for the haunt during the season this year. It truly is one of the best haunted attractions around.
It’s wonderful to see these smaller tourist towns come back to life!
I live here. Covid destroyed this place. Well... the stupidity of people's reaction to covid destroyed this place.
It's coming back little by little though.
Amazes me how much time and money people put in to build these tourist traps that you know can't make that much money.
Hi glad to see you in my neck of the woods. If anything the spookhouse needs some publicity. Have safe travels my friend. ❤❤❤
The great mystery of if Jacob sleeps with his hat on finally solved.
I live in Cave City now. They just filmed a movie at Gun Town Mountain. Nicholas Cage was involved. There was a bunch of Studio Trucks in the Gift Shop parking lot for several months.
I love the mystery house. It reminds me of Knotts berry, farm, mystery, shark I wish it was still there.
Ooooh! I so want the carnival game!
Having fun with the carpetbagger!
And this was to be a doctor day.
come for a visit and give it a try.
I like grapes. Growing up we had grapes growing on our fence. My mom would make grape jelly from them. Your right Jacob home grown grapes are totally different from grapes bought in the store.
Kudos to Mike's mystery house. They made it more interesting than the regular ones.
The Tour Guide Loves ❤️ his job. Fun Video and enjoying watching.
Im super excited for the new stuff in cave city! Heres hoping they revive guntown and stay loyal to its history!
When I was a kid, my sister kept kicking her legs on the chairlift. They decided to stop the lift for about 10 minutes until they knew what was causing the whole chairlift to shake. I've been terrified of heights ever since.
Can't wait to see what they finally do with guntown or funtown or is it guntown ..no definitely funtown! It would be so cool if the chairlift could get a revamp, turning into a zip line or something! Love the video!
Big Mike's was my favorite souvenir shop in the area! I lived in Bowling Green many years ago and loved taking a drive to Cave City for the day.
I also remember riding the lift at Guntown Mountain, probably around 15 or so years ago when they were still running, yes they were a bit on the rough side then. I'm glad my parents took me and my brother while it was still running. My dad would tell us how cool it was back when he was a kid.
Hey Jacob! I love that you go to ALL mystery houses you find. They are all different yet the same (nod to Karate Kid) and are ALWAYS so fun to just go through with you! LOVED this vid. And MY PINS ARRIVED!! THANK YOU AND JEN!!!
It's been a while since I've been there, I hated to hear Gun Mountain close down, I love that place we all had a great time there , The kids there was so talent , Stay safe on the road big hugs
Very cool to see some of the old closed down attractions in the area coming back to life!!!!
Hey Jacob! Glad you slept well at the Wigwam Village! I wish you safe & happy travels, and THANK YOU for all you do!
It's always cool when you get a behind the scenes look, especially in the haunts, where it's too dark and quick to get to see much when it's actually running (or when you are 😸).
Muscadine grape juice is probably amazing! My mom used to make jelly from wild Muscadines that grew in the woods behind our house
Cave City was awesome when I was young. Guntown Mtn, Wildlife Museum, Fun Parks with bumper boats and miniature golf, Go carts, and so much more. There were several good restaurants and hotels. The Wigwam village, camp grounds, Ky Down Under, and of course Mammoth Cave.
Yooo, it's nice you visited Guntown Mountain again after a couple years!
I'm obsessed with your channel but it always makes me want to quit my job to travel the country riding dark rides lol
Big Mike does a great Mystery Tour n has an awesome gift shop!!!
Thank you SO much for doing these vlogs especially updates on these older mountain tourist attractions! I REALLY hope they keep the western theming and town with Guntown and don't completely tear it down and make it just a generic zipline park. So glad to hear new attractions are being added and which are still in business!
Oh my goodness! What awesome attractions you shared with us! Thank you for a great video! ❤
When we went to visit Guntown Mountain 5 years ago, we were taken to the top in a Hummer! It was a bumpy ride and so much fun!
I LOVE how the end to the last video is the beginning to this one!! You’re awesome, Jacob!!😁❤️
Guntown Mtn holds alot of my childhood memories!
Really been enjoying your videos! Would love to see more cave adventures in the future! Thanks for riding all those crazy coasters for us so we don't have to. 😄
Guntown Mountain was so much fun when I was a kid. I’d love to see it come back to life in some form!! Thanks for sharing.
Ive always felt the real attraction at Big Mike's is that carpet. I love Cave City.
Hey Jacob I would love to see more cave explorations and natural feats! I went kayaking in Red River Gorge, Kentucky and it was amazing. I’m sure there’s some on-foot tours unless you’re ready to get your boat in the water!
You wake up in your room, carpetbagger wakes up in a teepee motel room wearing his signature hat. You don’t even have a signature hat. Love you jacob!😂
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it before, but that Whacky Shack at Guntown Mountain was originally at an amusement park called Petticoat Junction in Panama City Beach, Florida. My family used to visit the park when I was a child in the 70s and early 80s. It's kinda sad to see Charmin' Charles in such a bad state.
At this point, it would make more sense to build a new chairlift at Guntown Mountain at this point and build a new haunted house an auction off anything salvageable to make some money
Love Big Mike's Mystery House. It was awesome!
Great "Hey, you all" vlog. Enjoyed it all. Thanks, Mr. Bagger.
It was nice seeing you have fun and being excited! Those guys sounded really happy to see you. 😊
Glad to see Cave City getting new blood with things to see and do.
Looks like you were the only person for the Mystery Shack and treated as a VIP at the Haunted House.
he was given a VIP tour at Raven's Cross haunted attraction. We are a seasonal haunted attraction and hope you will come check it out.
Good Afternoon Jacob 🙋🏽. I hope you slept well ‼️
Good evening Jacob, at first greatings from your German fans.We follow your vlog quite from the beginning.We love the way you show us the real rual americana and the people who life there. In the US you have so much things and behaviors preserved what we have lost in Europ a long, long time ago.
I get intimidated by going into roadside attractions when I'm the only one there. You've been at this long enough that you seem comfortable. On the rare occasion I go into one I buy something to show support. I see you do the same courtesy.
I agree with all the other comments..The chap showing you around makes it really fun and interesting...It make the whole experience so much more memorable... XX
Thank you for being you Carpet bagger. I had a rough day and couldn't sleep. Kind gentle people like you remind me that there are still good people in the world that you can count on. Your videos are so relaxing and calming.
That guy was great at the Mystery House! I can’t wait to visit that place!
Heading up to cave city this weekend live an hour away … this is the second time this year you went somewhere that I was heading 😅 one day we will cross paths 🤞🏾😏
Hi Carpetbagger 👋 it's going to be a awesome day with you Jacob, these video are exciting 😊 you take care and stay safe 🙏🤓📸
Idk why but that wooden stool part cracked me up more than it probably should have 😄
Another awesome video Jacob. We appreciate you. I hope Jenn is doing good
That tour guide was really the best!
Love this tour guide....he seemed to love the fact he could be professional and himself for the attraction and awesome something tells me he might know the awesome carpet bagger 😅
I'm so glad that someone bought guntown mtn. It's been sad having it sit empty.
Good tour. Can’t wait to go.
JBs haunted mansion is amazing!! We went through it one random day. I really enjoy it. Its ran by the pizza place next door
Love ya Carpetbagger!
can't wait to watch these tomorrow. I love that part of KY! Drove up there last week for a day visit to Mammoth Cave & ate lunch at Bucky Bee's BBQ. It was AMAZING. If you get back up that way I highly recommend it! :)
My parents and I and my grandparents have been there many times back in the 90s when I was still a younger guy. I remember staying in cave city but then driving up to horseshoe cave to what used to be an outlet mall. My mom and I always loved the brass factory.
Thing about sitting around a fire is the gathering. Making you some hot dogs or smores. Singing and having drinks. Usually it keeps you warm since we live in Indiana and it's a weekend thing especially in fall.
Best thing down there though is mammoth cave of course. I'll never forget taking the cave boats until it flooded and people were killed. Sad really.
The caves in southern Indiana and Kentucky are so immense. I have family near Louisville that have a huge hole in their back yard that leads to a massive underground cave and probably at least a mile of tunnels that are pretty huge. All on private land. Pretty amazing that all this was created after the melting off of the ice 🧊
Just want to thank you again for all that you do
on your videos 😃😆😳
Brian from Northeast Ohio 👍👍👍
If or when Guntown Mountain gets going, u have to do the zip line, u r well inside the weight limit. It seems scary, but I have a good feeling you will enjoy it. The uncertainty and anxious buildup is the worst part. Just think you’ll like it & have fun like you did on the new surf coaster. Love that unexpected joy you discovered on that coaster.
It been nice getting a private tours.
Have a great day, Jacob ❤️
Cave city is a fun area to explore. Next time you head that way, we recommend checking out Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo in Horse Cave, KY. It is a really great place.
Very happy to see you again after some timing I was ..euh ..where ? ( in spirit ).. 😘
it's cool that you're exploring big mike's mystery museum in guntown.
but i like seeing more mystery houses.
I've seen plenty of your mystery house videos but this is by far the best.
I love Cave City and the surrounding areas and all of the "retro" attractions. One of my favorite places to explore
I love when you visit these type places! I am sad about the haunted house. Looks like it would have been so much fun back in the day. Have a great day from a very rainy and windy NC.
There's still some remaining footage of it, including from Carpetbagger himself.
@@Cr4z3d Thanks!
The haunted house was the best (back when I was 6 years old). It was my favorite GM ride. Great memories!!!
hi Jacob, JB's Haunted Mansion & Snack Shack is only open Th-Su from 11a-6p. hopefully you can get a chance to go.
Great video Jacob 🌟 The tour guide for The Mystery House was awesome 🙌😄 and I love that the little roadside places are so friendly and show You the new things They are working on ❣️😺 I love these kind of places 💗 As always, Thank You for the opportunity to live vicariously through Your videos 🙏💝😻
I remember going to Guntown Mountain as a kid in the 80’s and being so scared of the haunted house
I miss Big Mike's. Went there a couple of times when we would go to Mammoth Caves and camp.
Charming Charles use to play a bicycle built for two.
Concord grapes! MMMMM. thanks for the video!
I got a fever, the only prescription, is more Kentucky
Awesome thanks for sharing this today
Family went there when I was 6yo (1984) and I have an autographed vinyl record of the band that played there and an autographed picture from the cast of the shootout show.
That haunted house is one of 3 made by Funnie Fright.
Thank you so much again for amazing video
Great video Jacob looks like great fun 😊
A favorite Vacay place when I was a kid. Hubby and I went two years ago. Love the caving and Kentucky Down Under!
Cool stuff. TY!
Great video!
I enjoyed this Jacob! neat !
Awesome 👍
Excellent video.
I live here.
Pretty interesting place.
Should have gone to the cave in HORSE CAVE. They have an entire cave system directly under downtown main street.
Man you are so lucky to experience so many cool places
It was awesome.
4:58 you never understood the concept of sitting around a fire? please try it sometime it makes your experience better when you prepare/make the fire yourself. It's rather relaxing and afterwards your body smells like that classic campfire smell
it would be nice if Guntown mountain holds its western charm
great one
Thank you Jacob... another fun day YES!!!!!!!
What a cool mystery house
'Golgotha Fun Park and mini golf' was the most unfortunately inappropriate name, if you didn't know the hill was named Golgotha a long time ago.
Golgotha (Skull hill/ Calvary) was the execution hill of the crucifixion outside Jerusalem.
It’s the darkest possible name you could come up with
