    Adam, you`re the greatest thing since sliced bread and air-conditioning! I`m addicted to you! You`re doing what I wish I could/would/was/had/ done. Every morning, I come home from a stressful night of work and look forward to my little escape from reality with your daily vlog.
    My friend, you have no idea how much your work means to me (and i`m sure so many others) and how much joy you bring to our lives. God bless you!

      @StephanarchY 7 років тому +2

      TheDailyWoo helpful hint, generally car manufactures give you an extra 1/2-1 gallon of gas that it doesn't display to keep you from running out of gas. I have pushed my car passed the redline of empty for almost 20 some miles. When I fill up I can never fill up the 13 gallon tank in my car. So you would have made it no problem.

    I loved Soloman's castle. I imagine he was an amazing man. It is nice to see that many people out there especially if it is really out of the way, and they were enjoying lunch as well. Glad you made it to the gas station. I can't count the number of times I have run out of gas in my life and it is a scary feeling if you do not know where you are. Safe travels.

    Hey Adam, I live in Myakka city the next town over and knew Mr Solomon. I've spent a good part of my life at the castle. Mr Solomon was a very kind man, and would always be 3 steps ahead on everything he was working on. next time your down this way I'll take looking for the Myakka skunk ape.

    I once ran out of gas on the middle of a huge bridge in the summer here in florida. It was hot! A truck pulled up called rescue ranger? and said he saw me on the camera on the bridge and he put in a gallon of gas to get me over the bridge until I got to the gas station. I was thankful!

    Hey Adam.
    That strange plant you saw is called a Staghorn Fern. The Latin name is Platycerium.
    I remember running my car on fumes one time and it literally conked out and coasted off the road to the pump.
    Like you......talk about luck.

    • @DougForce
      @DougForce 7 років тому +1

    That hanging plant is called a staghorn. They are extremely heavy. You wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing if it falls!

  • @Thelawncarenut

    You even drove the extra 4 feet to the second gas pump, unashamedly avoiding the easy way out with the first one. Kramer has nothing on you bro.

  • @Robothut
    @Robothut 7 років тому +6

    Most cars will go another 40 to 50 miles when they say they are empty, now if you drive a truck or a gas hog that may not be true, but for most new cars it is. Cool castle and man !

    • @karenlindsey5988
      @karenlindsey5988 7 років тому +2

      Robothut - the problem was that he had hit empty and then went the extra 40 miles on top of that! So he truly had almost no gas left.

    • @Robothut
      @Robothut 7 років тому +2

      Yes you are right and so for all you out there this proves what I said you can drive another 40 t 50 iles even after it says your empty. Do not worry, there is always a gas station with in 50 miles of any place these days.

    • @IggyM
      @IggyM 7 років тому +1

    Adam, you want to see bald eagles, come up to my area, Keokuk, Iowa, right where the tri states of Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois meet. eagles live and nest on both sides of the Mississippi river. there's literally dozens of them, with nests measuring 8-10 feet across.

    Been on motorcycle trips to this place several times, really an awesome place in the middle of nowhere. It’s one of those Florida hidden gems, and I think that wheelbarrow is still there lol . Anyone visiting central Florida I highly recommend finding Solomon’s Castle and going there . Also the restaurant called boat in the moat is on site and is a very limited menu but the food is good . Thanks Adam I’ve been binge watching both of your channels 👍👍😊

    Aw.
    Gave me a smile.
    My mom loved this place. Took my daughter here a few years back. Certainly worth a day out. Yes it is WAY the h*ck out in the middle of no where.
    Sad to hear of the artist Howard Solomon's passing.
    My mom and aunt arrived on a day when the castle was closed and he was working on the grounds. He gave them a private tour because they took the trouble to travel all the way there. When my daughter and I went there he was in one of his workshops and the host told us we could probably meet him if we went over and said hi. We got far enough to see him in there and chickened out. Didn't want to disturb him.
    Going to take another trip with some new folks to see this place some time soon.

    Please tell me you have a AAA or other roadside assistance club membership. Considering all of the traveling you do, it's probably worth the investment. Also, at least with AAA, it usually pays for itself in club discounts.

      @karenlindsey5988 7 років тому +3

    Why did you not leave the same way you went there? There was gas in Ona, that was where you stopped to film your turn. By going to Brownsville Road “the barbed wire ball” then back to the Circle K in Zolfo Springs, you went about 30 miles out of your way. Lol
    It was good to see you film in my neck of the woods. Great vlog.

      I know, right? Those of us in central Florida with easy access to cruise deals get a little spoiled.

    I guess we all have, at one time or another, built something......out of wood perhaps...and thought to ourselves "Man I nailed that!" (Sorry about that pun!) And then you see the life's work of a man like this....So imaginative! So creative! It has to be a labor of love.

    Coral castle would be another cool destination quite a drive from where you're at though
