They pretty much don't allow cars. Any cars in there are probably the folks that live there. I live about 15 minutes away. Most of the action is weekend nights in warm weather.
Jet Barker's daughter wasn't allowed to go up to Woodstock, NY for the big concert. So she arranged the Allmans to come to Love Valley. They agreed. Lots of people showed up even the Hell's Angels and the Outlaws. One of the Allman brothers liked the area so much they bought a house there. A video like this is Adam at his best. Reminds me a lot of Silverton, CO.
I really enjoy your daily exploration of small towns and Americana. I have traveled to 40 of our 50 states over my lifetime, mostly on business so I never got to explorer the backroads and such. Thank you for bringing these locations into view for us.
While most of us prefer the bright, sunshiny day lol, I think you visited this place at the perfect time. The weather really helped set the proper tone for this video. So many creative thoughts flowed through my head while watching, very cool!
HEY ATW...WHAT AN ODD PLACE YOU'VE FOUND! ITS ALMOST as if all the inhabitants of Love Valley we're watching you out of small peepholes and knotholes as you explored the town. It could have been the beginning of a horror movie! Great vlog!
Well I did notice something that there’s certainly a lot of tire tracks there considering they say no cars interesting just pointed it out all good thanks
Well you weren't wrong about the rain it was throwing it down Adam, if you wanted somewhere different to live, that would be it, hopefully this is somewhere you will go back to and check out at another time, maybe stay at the b&b, can't believe how many gems of places you keep coming across, but definitely loving these vlogs, Love Valley, love the name Thankyou Adam
Hi Adam. Long time fan here. I’ve been watching you since the beginning. I found you because you explored the abandoned places I was too much of a coward to explore in the Orlando area. Anyway, you have really come a long way, man. You should be proud. God bless.
Upside down horseshoe is for good luck, so that the luck falls into it and can't fall out again! Thank you Adam for walking out in the rain and show us this beautiful old western town, so peacefull with the rain dropping on the tin roofs, loved that! I could live there in a heartbeat!
Adam, you should get an award for plowing through and doing your daily Vlog. Those were some pretty lousy weather conditions. And all that red mud! You’re a trooper, Adam the Woo!
Awesome place, and video!! It said no cars, yet the road was littered with car tracks, lol. Visitors? Maybe, but still a little funny. Y'all have an awesome day!!
Adam I used to go here when I was a kid, it's usually packed with people and tons of horses. Really cool place as I remember. Thank you for showing me a part of my childhood!
Adam, you certainly can find towns that are empty of life. For a Main Street without motor vehicles there are a lot of tire tracks. My wife said, “Adam, get out of town before you are invited to be dinner”.
Adam is watching the weather forecast and knows another big blizzard is due to hit north and west of him ! He’s stayed south of those storms. Last night in Greensboro it was 63’ D Rey greed all night! Temp.!at Greensboro is currently 61 and rainy at 9 am while most of the country from NM northeast to NE is covered in ice and snow.
I always thought Ghost Town in the Sky in Maggie Valley was the Cowboy Capitol. My daddy and I worked there together in 2014. Daddy was always ''Ranger Buck'', Marhsall, and when I was there, I was ''Lady Cherokee''. I ran the Trading Post at the top of the mountain. What fun, and the best job I ever had!
My Daddy passed on to Glory January 10th, 2020 at the age of 77. Larry '';Ranger Buck'' Robbins was larger than Life, but to me, he was juyst my Daddy, and my hero.
@@mebluewater Thank you...miss him every day:) He sure did love Ghost Town. He was a student at Western Carolina University while the park was being built, and in 1961, IT was a wonder how machines and equipment could get that far up mountains to build a theme park, literally in the clouds. Hoss Cartwright had his own apartment there, as well as visitors like Granny Clampett (Irene Ryan).
@@keithmaxwell2169 Hey...not yet...new owners with big plans, but I know Ghost Town will never be the same again. It is sad...but that is just the way it is. My dream is to go back up there and camp out for a whole weekend, right there at the Trading Post where I worked.
I use to live thirty minutes away from love valley. Normally it doesn’t open until Friday when the cowboys drive in. Though I am unsure of the current state after the pandemic. As I haven’t seen advertisements for rodeos like I used to. You used to see tons of horse trailers going down (115/Wilkesboro Hwy) to head home on Sunday’s.
I recall when the concert(s) were going on and afterwards the huge controversy over the massive amount of trash and human waste that were left behind. Sanitation was NOT a priority! Because of the ill will caused by the need for cleanup, at taxpayer expense, the founders of Love Valley came under intense pressure to shut the whole place down. I also recall that the town has been threatened a number of times with the loss of its charter mainly because of its very, very small year-round population. Oddly enough, I'm pretty sure that the fact that Love Valley came into existence is why several very small, privately owned "Western towns" have been built, in North Carolina, over the last four or five decades as "vanity projects". To the best of my knowledge none are open to the public as they are located on what was once farmland. There is (was?) one in Union County, NC east of Monroe that would be basically invisible and unheard of if the property owners did not also own and operate a very nice horse farm/ranch and occasionally host weddings, and a few, a VERY few, other special events. Great video as usual!
That town was cool, I could see the vibe going either super cool western town or a super spooky horror town. With the lack of humans and the constant rain, it was super spooky horror town to me. :) Thanks for sharing. Make it a great day.
Awesome! I live in Wilkes and used to go to Love Valley on occasion. The whole place seemed to fall apart once the Silver Spur Saloon closed down. I’ve been watching you for years and it’s cool to see you in my neck of the woods. On a side note you should have went inside Shelby’s Place (the guy with the dog). It’s a bar / music venue and stays open. I’ve seen several bands there and had plenty of cold beverages as well. 😉🇺🇸
Adam, welcome to my home county! Iredell County is extremely different from south to north. The Mooresville area to the south closer to Charlotte is suburban and everything north of Statesville is extremely rural where you are in Love Valley. I'm glad you are experiencing this great area and thanks for the great videos!
This video has some serious cool ASMR if I wasn't moving my business and my life to Texas I would definitely consider and reconsider North Carolina before South Carolina I lived there for a little bit and I enjoyed it it's so pretty and the fall last so long so pretty I love love this one thank you for sharing you made my morning! ❤️
I was interested to see this. If you turned left down that road; across from Miss Kitty's; there used to be an open hillside that was where I, my cousin, sister in law and a couple of friends, camped in a couple of pup tents during the Love Valley Festival. I didn't go into any of the establishments there since I was underage. The highlight of the festival was The Allman Brothers Band. There are one or two videos of their performance. Neither the audio nor visuals are state of the art, but it's still good enough for you to see how good they were. ua-cam.com/video/joafeJQ890A/v-deo.html
I was in Love Valley years and years ago.We were in a wagon train that was in the valley.The Silver Spur was a busy place on the weekends,but you had to be careful,people took the old west theme to heart!!!
A possum playing a banjo...carpetbagger would be paaaarrpooud. AWESOME video Woo, how cool is that an entire old west town 🕶✌that would be great for a film.
This is such a neat spot, Adam. Certainly off the beaten path. I like that there are no cars. I do feel like you should have brought your horse though. It reminds of the theme park Six Gun City in New Hampshire. Did not seem like the greatest weather day but I love the sound of the rain. That dog wants you to follow them. Mark my words, someone is stuck in a well.
Very interesting town Adam. You could almost imagine a couple of cowboys riding into town, tying up their horses and going in the saloon. Actually love the sound of rain on the tin roof. Would love for you to go back sometime in the spring or summer to see what's open. Thanks for the tour, very enjoyable.
Great memories of this place. Our (4) children participated in the rodeos there and we camped in the valley. Daytime trail rides on our horses! Miss those days...it rocks in the summer!! Thanks for the Vid!
Hours The town is always open for guest to walk through but, the stores are primarily open only on the weekends. If there is a business you would like to visit call them ahead to make sure they are open!
Very cool! I remember going on a train ride up into the mountains from Denver, Colorado and they'd have little silver or gold mining towns where they would stop and let you go roam around. I love this stuff too! Love the sound of the rain hitting the metal roof! Very fun! Thanks again! :D Horse shoe up for good luck!
I always pictured New York State was over crowded and a busy place . I met my wife she is from New York so we went to visit her sister . We drove through the Catskills and small towns . It was nothing like I thought. Being from a small town in Virginia I have never drove up North but the country was beautiful. I loved Upstate New York.
I just googled Love Valley. Looks like it's a " beehive of activity" in the summer. Saw photos of a rodeo and Main Street with horses tied to the rails, lots of people, etc. Fun video!! Thank you!
For a town that doesn't allow motor vehicles on "Main Street" there are sure a lot of tire tracks running through Main Street, and the dog wandering around was not on a leash as the rules demand. I'm afraid now that "Andy's" gone, the rules no longer matter. Seems to be the "American way" nowadays.
I’m still waiting for you to stumble across a body one of these days. This place, with the gloomy day, the heavy rain hitting the metal roofs, the muddy road, the wooden porches, missing doorknobs, the lone dog, that seemed to know where you were going...I mean. Was the dog trying to warn you? Horror awaits! Excellent vlog. A town that time forgot!
Again superb content and coverage of main subject and environs. And I can't say it enough about The Woo's camera compositions, still and motion, as being superb. The opening shot with the signs and landscape is a masterpiece of composition. It's a pleasure to observe such purposeful and relaxed camera work. So many travel vlogers seem to lapse into another zone with their cameras seemingly locked on left-to-right or up-and-down constant movement. While others pan at such speeds as too induce vertigo. There's an old unwritten rule in filming; When you focus on a sign, plaque, etc., if you don't choose to read it out loud(slowly), then read it silently to yourself TWICE while the camera is fixed in place for the viewer to read it. Adam seems to show a natural instinct for visual capture. I think if he chose to pursue it more in depth he'd be a remarkable documentary film maker.
I’m waiting for Rod Serling to pop out and say, “Welcome to the Twilight Zone.” The place has that kind of a feel. Sort of like a town set up by aliens from what they were told by the ones that made first contact back in the day, and they didn’t get back to Earth until modern times. lol
I wondered what Love Valley looked like, thanks for the tour. I went to the August Jam at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1974. Between two and three hundred thousand people were there, lots of great bands too.
Love Valley is a cool place to visit during rodeo season and when the weather is warmer. The streets are packed with horses and lots of action. Glad you are enjoying our beautiful state of NC.
LOVED it! this town was awesome. It was nice that you weren't put out by the rain and mud, emphasizing it added to the vibe... I agree. and I gott say, it always makes me giggle when cows and horses and most animals actually stop what they're doing to give you their attention, so funny.
This was cool Mr. Adam The Woo. Love your backroad adventures. Maybe go back in the summer. Can't say I would have liked to of been there in 1970 and all those people...no thanks. Be safe and well in your adventures. God's speed.
It looks like one of those horror movies where you have a small town like this very little people and eerieness all around and the feeling that someone is watching you from afar and watching very carefully, so be careful.
I have so loved the last few videos! I’ve lived in piedmont NC pretty much my whole life. As a viewer of your videos for a few years, it’s been a blast to see you exploring my hometown of Concord and so many other NC oddities and curiosities. Take care and enjoy the journey
You need to be careful in old west towns. "Folks don't take kindly ter strangers 'round them thar parts." And it's not wandering around town but "moseyin' ", Adam.😉
I played any games of pool in Shelby's place (Jack's place) back then. The General store had good burgers and unfortunately, I never got to go inside the Spur. Was too young
THE BEST BEST BEST ONE SO FAR.... I really enjoyed it with you .... really I was with you.. Adam . it was much better when it is total soliloquy....! I consider and promote TheDailyWoo as the BEST in the World.... THANK YOU ADAM.....!!!
I lived in Love Valley around 1982 or so when I was nine. It was the building with the flag on it in the video. Of course back then it had a balcony like the one beside it. Not so great to see it all boarded up when the rest of the town is pretty much the same. It was "fun" living next to the Silver Spur, especially weekends and during the rodeo in Summer. Andy Barker and wife lived in the house you see with the spider web. Joe Ponder lived up the street where video began. Joe was kind of famous for pulling and lifting heavy objects with his teeth. Think he even ziplined down a mountain using only his jaw. Suppose you get a street name for that. They did make a truck commercial when I lived there (two trucks had a gun fight). Been watching ATW for a couple of years, just a matter of time before you would wind up in Love Valley.
This is Awesome! I grew up in Statesville only miles from there! Miss Kittys and Jacks Place, so many cool stops especially on Memorial weekend or the 4th of July! I've stayed at Miss Kittys many times, tell Red I said hello! Also, the silver spur does have swinging doors once you walk through the first door.
Hey Adam. Great video. I wish I would have known you were in the area. I have a small start up channel. I shot my youtube video of Love Valley last month. Now I can compare your video to mine and hopefully learn how to make better videos. Thanks!
Hey Adam you are just north of me in my county that is a very well-known and popular place especially during busy season hope you enjoy the area come back again soon my friend safe travels buddy
The big show of no vehicles allowed is kind of ruined by all the tire tracks in the mud on Main Street.
And the car behind the building halfway down the street.
For visitors
They pretty much don't allow cars. Any cars in there are probably the folks that live there. I live about 15 minutes away. Most of the action is weekend nights in warm weather.
@@empowers1895 Cars aren’t allowed for a reason, Thats for sure.
Was just going to post the same at least 2 vehicles and loads of tyre tracks 😂😂

Looks like a brothel. You shouldn't be walking around with a camera!
Thank you for the history, Rick. :) Great video, Adam!
Dickey betts was the one that lived in love valley
I remember when they had a concert here.af few of my friends went. Late 60s, early 70s

explored the town. It could have been the beginning of a horror movie! Great vlog!
Man this episode could turn in to a haunted horror or zombie flick. “One man’s adventure…an abandoned town…or so he thought…”
Exactly what I was thinking..I hope he carries mace and a tazer !
A nice "found footage" movie ;)
The cadence of Adam's voice is much like Paul Harvey....Adam Woo with the rest of the story....shall you?
Well I did notice something that there’s certainly a lot of tire tracks there considering they say no cars interesting just pointed it out all good thanks
I could just see Marty McFly and Biff Tannen having a showdown on the street. Really cool place. Fun vlog! Safe travels Adam!
@lise great movies they are some of my favorites.
Love all these NC videos! I grew up riding horses with my Parents at Love Valley. 💕
I am loving your daily adventures! Every morning I wake up and think where is The Woo going to take us today.
The General Store and Cafe is listed on the popular real estate web sites. It's been for sale for a few months. Nice apartment upstairs.
Well you weren't wrong about the rain it was throwing it down Adam, if you wanted somewhere different to live, that would be it, hopefully this is somewhere you will go back to and check out at another time, maybe stay at the b&b, can't believe how many gems of places you keep coming across, but definitely loving these vlogs, Love Valley, love the name Thankyou Adam
Twighlight zone episode... Love the content, Mr Woo...always respectful and well done.. I too love this off the beaten path stuff.. more please.

Awesome place, and video!! It said no cars, yet the road was littered with car tracks, lol. Visitors? Maybe, but still a little funny. Y'all have an awesome day!!
Imagine my surprise when after watching this video this morning, I bumped into Adam the Woo himself!! Nice to finally meet you Adam!!
We keep hoping we would run into him! He’s def been all around where we live near Statesville
Adam I used to go here when I was a kid, it's usually packed with people and tons of horses. Really cool place as I remember. Thank you for showing me a part of my childhood!
Just what I needed this snowy morning in PA! Thanks for what you do! We love your adventures!
If you video makers would shut your pipe hole and show the places you video tape it would be would be worth watching. orl n ee

No motorized vehicles on Main Street that is covered with tire tracks.
A possum playing a banjo...carpetbagger would be paaaarrpooud. AWESOME video Woo, how cool is that an entire old west town 🕶✌that would be great for a film.
I thought of Carpetbagger too!
I could sense all the “eyes without a face” watching you from behind curtains. I’d love to get married walking down Main Street ❤️
nice little town! I wish we had more of this now a days everywhere. Way better than huge skyscrapers and full blown technology.
This is such a neat spot, Adam. Certainly off the beaten path. I like that there are no cars. I do feel like you should have brought your horse though.

I love this stuff too! Love the sound of the rain hitting the metal roof! Very fun! Thanks again! :D Horse shoe up for good luck!
That was great! You always inspire me to go to these small towns to explore. It’s so much better than a large city
Maybe one day Adam can venture north and explore the small/hidden towns of New York state.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. The Book Barn in Cortland, NY is calling!!!!!
I want him to visit the Woodstock site
Always welcome in rhinebeck, i have a map and a list already made out for the day he asks for stuff in my area.
Maybe he will when it’s warmer later this year
I always pictured New York State was over crowded and a busy place . I met my wife she is from New York so we went to visit her sister . We drove through the Catskills and small towns .

That’s surreal, pouring down rain, middle of winter, Adam is filming us a video, that is one dedicated content master I tell’ ya… thanks man, love ya.
It's been a while since I've been to Lov3 Valley but, it is awesome and it makes me so happy you're just as excited, Adam! :)
No motorized vehicles on main street, yet there's tire tracks all up and down main street.

Loved the old western town. Warm weather, riding on the trails dressed in Western clothes--- dream of mine. Thanks for taking us here, Adam!!!
Horseshoe mounted upright, (like the letter “U”) so that the Luck does not pour out. I was always told.
The website states that the town is only open on the weekend, although you're welcome to explore the town during the week
I’m waiting for Rod Serling to pop out and say, “Welcome to the Twilight Zone.” The place has that kind of a feel. Sort of like a town set up by aliens from what they were told by the ones that made first contact back in the day, and they didn’t get back to Earth until modern times. lol

Love Valley is a cool place to visit during rodeo season and when the weather is warmer. The streets are packed with horses and lots of action. Glad you are enjoying our beautiful state of NC.
Adam, you should plan to revisit this town when it’s not raining and there’s some old west town activity.
That was a good luck horseshoe, if it was upside down the good luck would drain out, so I've been told.....
LOVED it! this town was awesome. It was nice that you weren't put out by the rain and mud, emphasizing it added to the vibe... I agree. and I gott say, it always makes me giggle when cows and horses and most animals actually stop what they're doing to give you their attention, so funny.
There sure are a lot of tire tracks for a road that doesn’t allow vehicles.
I suggest going back in the spring, summer or fall as it seems they are closed due to the winter season.
I get some M. Night Shymalan vibes. As if you see no one but they are seeing you.
Hi Adam, hope you're well. Love from the UK
That looked like a cool place, but the whole time you were there I was getting more horror movie vibes than when you were at Cabin Fever cabin
When you were leaving. You could've turned around and yelled, "You better bury Ned Right!"......
This was cool Mr. Adam The Woo. Love your backroad adventures. Maybe go back in the summer. Can't say I would have liked to of been there in 1970 and all those people...no thanks. Be safe and well in your adventures. God's speed.
For a place with a sign stating 'NO AUTOMOBILES BEYOND THIS POINT'..I Sure saw a lot of tire tracks in the muddy streets in the middle of town.🤔
Came to the comment section to find this type of comment. Kind of kills the feel of a western town vibe.
Karen at its best
@@stacy4278 Yep, Karen painted the sign and posted it.😃
It looks like one of those horror movies where you have a small town like this
very little people and eerieness all around and the feeling that someone is
watching you from afar and watching very carefully, so be careful.
I was there and saw all of the bands. Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks.
They left the place out in the rain and it got all rustic.
I have so loved the last few videos! I’ve lived in piedmont NC pretty much my whole life. As a viewer of your videos for a few years, it’s been a blast to see you exploring my hometown of Concord and so many other NC oddities and curiosities. Take care and enjoy the journey
Mt. Pleasant - 👍🏼
You need to be careful in old west towns. "Folks don't take kindly ter strangers 'round them thar parts." And it's not wandering around town but "moseyin' ", Adam.😉
Absolutely fascinating! Love the old west! Appreciate all you do!😇
"No motorized vehicles allowed on main street"
Tire tracks everywhere on main street.
I think those are doves you hear, not owls. What an interesting place.
Definitely. Owls don't tend to be out in the middle of the day. 🤣
I played any games of pool in Shelby's place (Jack's place) back then. The General store had good burgers and unfortunately, I never got to go inside the Spur. Was too young
Strange horse tracks looks like a loose car or two
THE BEST BEST BEST ONE SO FAR.... I really enjoyed it with you .... really I was with you.. Adam . it was much better when it is total soliloquy....! I consider and promote TheDailyWoo as the BEST in the World.... THANK YOU ADAM.....!!!
Very cool place, gives a little "Wrong Turn " vibes though 😳🤣🤣
I thought I heard Banjo music coming from up the hill.
Shoulda been a COWBOY! Awesome stuff! Never knew of the southern Woodstock. Wow . Gotta find film of the show now.
You should do this again on a sunny morning during the busy season!
You get better with every clip, Adam.
Looks like someone’s been driving in the no driving zone by the tire tracks on Main Street
I lived in Love Valley around 1982 or so when I was nine. It was the building with the flag on it in the video. Of course back then it had a balcony like the one beside it. Not so great to see it all boarded up when the rest of the town is pretty much the same. It was "fun" living next to the Silver Spur, especially weekends and during the rodeo in Summer. Andy Barker and wife lived in the house you see with the spider web. Joe Ponder lived up the street where video began. Joe was kind of famous for pulling and lifting heavy objects with his teeth. Think he even ziplined down a mountain using only his jaw. Suppose you get a street name for that. They did make a truck commercial when I lived there (two trucks had a gun fight). Been watching ATW for a couple of years, just a matter of time before you would wind up in Love Valley.
This is Awesome! I grew up in Statesville only miles from there! Miss Kittys and Jacks Place, so many cool stops especially on Memorial weekend or the 4th of July! I've stayed at Miss Kittys many times, tell Red I said hello! Also, the silver spur does have swinging doors once you walk through the first door.
You can't get a piping hot caffeinated beverage in Love Valley this time of year, can you?
Hey Adam. Great video. I wish I would have known you were in the area. I have a small start up channel. I shot my youtube video of Love Valley last month. Now I can compare your video to mine and hopefully learn how to make better videos. Thanks!
Hey Adam you are just north of me in my county that is a very well-known and popular place especially during busy season hope you enjoy the area come back again soon my friend safe travels buddy
Adam,you have just entered the TWILIGHT ZONE ---------
Generally, when a stray dog tries to lead you like that it is either towards treasure or your untimely demise.
I figured there was someone stuck in a well.
I think this was the first time I was actually concerned about your safety 🤠
