After passing 100 billboards I arrived at the wackiest Drug Store ever ! Well worth the stop . Have you seen yesterday's episode ? ua-cam.com/video/lHnfFQik-0Y/v-deo.html
Greetings from Ireland
Sounds like the South of the Boarder of the West with the number of billboards. 😀
Been there before. Awesome place!
TheDailyWoo ill be honest Adam. Im from texas...roughly halfway between houston and galveston on hwy 6 in alvin.... We Texans are known for not exactly being cowards but if i were with u and that screwed up cowboy started played id have HAULED ASS!!!!!!
Keep up the amazing work Adam the woo from Alex from Scotland
Never a dull moment with the Woo...
how come you can't show you does Splashdown it's idiotic and it's f****** country
😴
I went there 30 years ago. It's a must do while traveling in that part of the country
What a fantastic place, Adam. Love the way you interact with inanimate objects. Others try...
but nobody does it better. Much appreciated that you keep these awesome videos coming. Be safe.
This place is awesome! Cowpoke’s machine alone was well worth the visit, but awesome share.
I remember going in there when I was in South Dakota. You must be on your way to Mount Rushmore. Have fun.
You found the White Rabbit. Grace Slick would be proud.
Back in the summer of 1979 I drove from Memphis to Rapid City along with a van full of fellow geology undergrads to the South Dakota School of Mines for field camp, and we stopped by Wall Drug along the way. It is fun to see the place is still in operation.
The T-Rex was working when we were there...it is awesome.
This is what UA-cam is all about Adam!!!!!
Keep up the great work 👌👍
Appreciate the great comment
No one doesn’t stop at Wall Drug after reading all those signs! LOL Loved Wall drug!
Welcome to South Dakota Adam! I make a point to stop at Wall Drug every time I drive to/from the west. Try Wall Drug plain donuts, they're just like grandma used to make - crunchy, tasty! Drive through Aberdeen, SD on your way home (my home) to see Storybook Land at Wylie Park. It's a small Wizard of Oz themed park, L. Frank Baum (Oz author) lived in Aberdeen for a while. Safe travels in SD!
Finally! South Dakota!
4:22, "No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes." I see what you did there. Such fun watching this. Thanks so much!
I love, love, love your videos. Your level of enthusiasm is contagious. You bring joy into all of our lives. Thank you so much.
I was there 2 years ago. It was interesting and fun. The employees haven't arrived yet. They hire young people from all over the country.
Some come from over seas.
You sir, have set the new world record for most dad jokes made in a 12 minute period, congratulations!
Honestly, I love dad jokes as I too am a dad so well played! 😂
Love that you stopped at Wall Drug
Sadly when we got there most of it was closing in a 1/2 hour. Much too short of time to explore.
A blast from my past! As a youngster, every summer we ( six kids and Mom & Dad ) would venture forth from Fort Madison, Iowa to Sioux Falls, South Dakota where we stayed overnight with our Aunt Dorothy a retired, long time English Teacher in Sioux Falls. The next day we would all pile into our 1966 Red and White Ford Station Wagon and cross South Dakota on interstate 90 ending up at Grandma Hildebrand's place in Sturgis, South Dakota in the Black Hills of Western South Dakota, now famous for the annual motorcycle rally. But all the way across South Dakota, we would be getting more and more excited to stop at Wall Drugs after many, many, many signs. Wall Drugs was a much anticipated and always enjoyed rest stop located most of the way across South Dakota from Sioux Falls, just about 70 miles shy of Sturgis. All of us kids were really excited to get there and stretch our legs and run all around the place. Looking at this video, it has just gotten better since then! Thank You Adam the Woo for bringing back a fond childhood memory! BTW if you are looking for a place to crash in any future visits to So Cal just a stones throw from the Back to the Future Mall, we (Isabella and myself) have a comfortable guest bedroom with some good wi-fi, that you are welcome to. Keep up the good work!
Your narrations are the best! I laughed out loud in a few spots.😀
It's hard not to have fun at a place like that
TheDailyWoo Amen.
Jenny Barson ...nice new thumbnail...not too shabby...have a great day☺
So proud...so happy....so glad you finally ventured to South Dakota. Birthplace of my mother and home to my Alma Mater. Finally.....you made it. Even though I already said so on Facebook, I’m so happy to see this. 👍😀 Glad you enjoyed it and your visit to Mt. Rushmore was worth the wait.
All of the best places ever are in SD. Mount Rushmore, the Black Hills, Wall Drug, and especially the Badlands.
Cool video, My parent took me there back in 1978. It was a neat place then and it looks even more awesome today. Thank you for sharing.
Went there when I was a kid in the 50's. Thanks for sharing.
My Grandmother used to visit that place every year when I was a child. She would always bring back small gifts from there, it was always a treat. Now I finally get to see what the fascination was, and now I also want to visit there. Thank you Adam!!!!!!
This place is beautiful so authentic and that church looks so peaceful.
The opening was epic! Too bad they didn’t have any Beverly
Tampa Jay 😂
Tampa Jay 🤣🤣🤣
Or a log ride.
Tampa Jay that's what I was saying!
Thanks Adam the Woo. Back in 1989 my dad and I drove from east tennessee to Custer State park in SD. We started seeing Wall Drug signs outside Cincinnati. By the time we made it to Wall SD we had to get off and check it out. Much to our surprise we found they are closed at 9 pm. So all I got to do was look thru the window and take a pic on the boardwalk out front. However we did find a great Mexicamerican restaurant across the street. I will visit Wall Drug oneday.
This is my relatives' drug store; used to work there for a month each summer in high school (in the 1970s). Thanks for appreciating it, great place. Only thing is Hustead is pronounced like Hugh-stead, long u. Cheers and thanks for the videos.
What an eclectic place I would happily spend hours wondering around looking at everything. Another great vlog Adam.
That was very cool Adam.Thank you and God bless.:)
thanks again adam for the last 4 videos loved them all! great stuff.
Visited there about 15yrs ago. Would love to see it again. It’s a cool place. Free water and free bumper stickers.
Thanks for bringing us along Adam!
thank you Adam. I very much enjoy your Vlogs as you travel. I lived in Minnesota when I was young and have traveled to Wall Drug and South Dakota. Thank you for all you do. Thumbs up on content.
Another plethora of goodness. Thanks and keep on rocking
That place looks Awesome!!! Now I wanna go!
I've visited this place many times on family vacations to South Dakota. Such a neat roadside attraction! Was just there last summer. Wayyy more busy during tourist season.
Keep doing what you are doing Adam the Woo. You have a great life and make a lot of us happy with your travels. 😀
This looks like a wonderful store! I was watching while at the gym and was cracking up at the singing animatronics! 😂 You're too funny! Keep finding interesting places!
Adam we love what you do !... the day isn't complete until you post my Friend... thank you for all your hard work we appreciate you.....
Thanks so much
TheDailyWoo we love you brother from phx az... have an Awesome day! Just saw your post now I will ... p.s. I have limited Mobility you go and thing i couldn't see otherwise thank you so much...
I live in Rapid City, about 40 miles from Wall Drug. So excited for this one!
Looked like great fun nice to see parts of the USA that tourists from here in the UK wouldn't normally see, thanks.
Wall Drug Store is amazing. As always thanks for the VLOG, Adam!
I cracked up. This has to be my favorite vlog yet.
Been there and would agree it's an odd ball place. After billions of billboards, we were really ticked because we had no idea wth this "Wall Drug" place was. After falling for the trap, it's one of the best memories ever 😊
Another great vlog Adam. I have been to Wall Drug twice, first time in 1960 when I was 9 years old. I remember how hot it was!!! June is not a good month to visit SD. Thanks Adam for putting a smile on my face.
Another great stop to add to my list for my travels...thanks Adam!!!
was there in june / july 2003.....on our way to Deadwood..Sturges..Cool place...and a lot more than you showed... nice to see it again....
WOW what a wonderful place..Thank you Adam
That was a stop for me and my husband, too, before heading into Badlands. Cool place!
Yes , been to wall drugs,. It is a hoot. Saw mt. Rushmore , too. Great
Man your good. I like how you engage your viewers. I am learning. I paid a tribute to you and Bagger on the streets of Waynesville this evening.
This brought back a lot of memories of a family vacation from when I was a kid. We stopped there on our way to Mt. Rushmore. Some of those statues have been there since the late 1970’s.
Yes, I too love this video very much. All the creepy old robot characters. The could do a movie on something like that coming awake and walking at night. Be safe and keep up the great work.
I've never seen the place so quiet. Thanks for the vid!
After watching all your new videos since you hanging up your daily vlog hat, this is the first video where I feel the old vibes return (thanks to that awesome cup crush at the beginning) awesome job and love your work!
You are making me very happy again Adam
Thanks for the vlog Adam. Looks like you had fun! :)
I remember when the shooting gallery at Opryland shot real pellets/BBs.
Love this place!!
Happy Trails...
Safe travels!!
I love how you were the only one there. It added to the character and charm of your visit.
So the dailies are back. Great!
What a cool place sure had a lot of pics on the wall!! Thanks Adam stay safe!!!!
I'm always weary about filming out and about that people will give me odd looks like you got but I'm glad you guys just say HECK IT and continue to do what you do.
One of my favorite vlogs so far!
Thank You Adam.
Thanks for the adventure
Thanks for all that you do.
In 1998 I took road trip from Tx to Canada and stopped at wall drug. Great experience, then flew from Canada back to Dallas Tx to see Pearl Jam!!
Now that frisbee is a conversation piece!
Very interesting drug store Adam!!!!!!
Loved it!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
I was there back in the early 90's.Bought a bran muffin,so BIG it lasted all day.Thanx WOO.✌✌👍👍Thar's💰💰💰💰in them thar hills.
Never thought I'd see you in South Dakota! Great update!
Ah Adam you made my heart happy! So glad you came to visit my home. ❤️ much love from South Dakota!!
Cool! Thanks for your uploads. I hate when I miss your live streams.
Never get enough of Wall Drug. Sometimes when I'm there busy as can be, other times it seems I have the place to myself. Always a must stop. Not sure if your still in the area, but best food that I have eaten in those parts is in Badlands NP, the visitor center has some Sioux tribe food.
Great to see your videos on the road the past month. Vintage ATW
My wife and I stopped in there the first week of October 2018 and there were hundreds and hundreds of people. I'd like to go back and check it out again as we only spent an hour there.
great stuff Adam! My wife and I have been there....have our bumper sticker still. I had to ask for our free drink of water....I guess I was expecting an artisian well instead of the Dixie cup I received...lol......
The stickers were tempting and kinda iconic
This is the Classic Woo I LOVE!!!
Thanks for coming to my home state Adam keep up the great work
Adam im finally gonna buy a hat from you. I have been wanting one so long and I finally can. Love you
Those billboards!!! I hope that you enjoyed the "You passed Wall Drug " ones that also go on for miles!
So many billboards !
Haha, gotta love Wall Drug! My family stopped there on a family vacation about 12 years ago. Most certainly an interesting stop. Thanks for bringing back memories!
That place looks awesome!! Definitely something that I would enjoy😀
Ah, man. I have so many memories of the Dino. I remember being 4 years old, and at first, I was so excited to see that thing, but once it started roaring, I got so scared, and started crying. Oh, my parents would never let me forget that.
Always hang for "Join me", " Shall You "
Your bit at the beginning had me hitting the like button immediately! 🤣
Thank you ! One of my favorite things about putting a vlog together is telling a story and hamming it up
I was half expecting Justin Scarred to pop out at any random time and screeching, “The Ollllllddddd Weeeeessssstttt,” in his corny “old codger” voice
That apothecary store is AWESOMEEEEE. Great vlog Adam
Very well enjoyed. Thank you.
That has changed a lot since i was there in the early 80's.
Pretty neat, like this. Gotta remember this place, love to check it out.
Loved coming here when I was younger.
Perfect video! We’ll be heading to Mount Rushmore this summer and planned on stopping by there!
Thanks Adam...really enjoyed the show
Thanks
That's so awesome . your about an hour and a half away from me. I'm in pierre south Dakota . and I've been to wall drug many times . make sure if your rolling through you stop and see mount rushmore to. along with reptile gardens if its open right now , both are fun places to see in south dakota
Passed a ton of stuff in SD and most was still closed for season :-(
TheDailyWoo you will get that a lot because we had a long winter so some places are still closed for the season. But in 37 days the family and myself are heading to Disneyland we will be in the parks the 2end through the 4th I can’t wait I’m tired of the cold
hey buddy
I always wanted to travel the USA. hope you are having a blast
I had honestly forgot how much I enjoyed and looked forward to these daily vlogs.
A highly enjoyable vlog! Thanks!
