You are now, officially, the most anticipated, excitement inducing content creator in my subscriptions list! May the Babe Bus continue on it's mission of discovery and wonder for as long as you desire! P.S. I want to point out the greatest treasure that you have shown us in all of these videos and that is you, Casey Roman!
The "Flight of Five" locks are and were an absolutely amazing feat of 19th century engineering. The 60 foot rise was initially a freakin' cliff that they had to blast through and figure out a way to raise the boats from bottom to top. What you can see today in Lockport is the 2nd iteration of the flight of five. At some point when technology improved they were able to covert part of it to a two lock system (2 instead of 5) that carries boat traffic in modern times -- but the flight of 5 (decommissioned) is still there for all to admire. In terms of Erie Canal history, this is as good as it gets!
Love your videos. Hope you get your passport soon. Come to Canada. If you come over the bridges in Niagara Falls, we have Clifton hill, Niagara on the Lake, the screaming tunnel, Nightingale mill, longest running flour mill run by water wheel, the Welland Canal in St. Catharines and so many other interesting things to check out.
If you weren't the narrator, I would never have watched this video, but you made it interesting! You are a treasure and you should start your own alternative media channel. The lame-stream media doesn't deserve you! Thank you for caring, your integrity and especially your je ne sais quoi!!!
Your presentation of Lockwood was prolific. Who knew all the wonderful things found in this little town. Many thanks for your journey, it has been enlightening. 👍😁♥️
Another great video! Expecially, enjoyed the ending, I'm like no way glass milk bottles...takes me back to when I was little, mom would drop me off mid-milk route to my grandma (grandpa was a milkman, yes I was the milkman granddaughter) and got to ride in the milk truck, they stood to drive. That was his morning job, in the afternoons he ran his gravel truck business. Thank you for memory lane.
I volunteered for the haunted caves in early 2000s. My dad got the city to let us use the trolley for our storyline on the drive down to the park outside of the entrance. Love my hometown, hate the fact that my brother graduated with Tim McVeigh.
No one can tell history events like you!! You make it come alive. The one thing that sets your videos apart from others is your voice......it's not scratchy and boring!!!
Whatttt??? You came to my town and I didn’t get to take a selfie with the Babe Bus! I Guess I still have to keep imagining how tall you actually are. I’m a staff photographer with the Lockport and Niagara newspapers and I’ve many friends in your profession here. You seem to be born to tell stories! Before heading out to do a hot story one day, an editor once said to me, and I think it suits you, “Have Fun and Show No Fear.” Safe travels.
Outstanding video! I started watching your channel because you are a fellow van-dweller (I will be soon). But you surprised me by your expert level of video making and I very much appreciate you showing us around parts of America I have never heard of, let alone will likely never see in person. I like to follow other channels who are related to van life in some way and sadly though I would have never discovered your channel had it not been for that. So, Thank you.
You learn something everyday thank you for being my teacher wow....fantastic history lesson. I think all these signs that say no photography or video should say except for Casey lolll cause she is gonna get it with or without permission lollll
Another wonderful video. Those caves made me want to put on my shoes and follow you in. I just love learning more and more about these jewels of small towns. Thank you for sharing.
What a great little town I will make sure I stop and see that when I am over that way for sure you do such a great job representing a town that could definitely use a boost keep being yourself and Lord knows you will you're awesome keep on keepin on sweetheart
I'm so glad you're in New York State, so much history and cool things to explore there. I'm originally from the Hudson Valley's Rhinebeck/Hyde Park area. There are quite a few historic buildings with beautiful architecture there. A real gem near Hudson, NY is Olana, the home of Hudson River School painter, Frederic Church. Olana is a gorgeous and unique structure. I thought I'd mention that in case you made your way to that area. I really enjoyed seeing the caves of Lockport and history of the town. Wonderful video. Safe travels!
Casey, another great story you are reporting on. Love your stories and places you tell us about. Please continue to always strive your best and bring us all you have. You are wonderful. 🤩🤗☺😉
I can’t believe this. First you’re in Texas just mins from me ..Hamilton’s pool, Austin. I was sooo excited. Now I’m mins from Lockport visiting family n Amherst. When you were talking about Canada and NY, I told my sister “OMG, my favorite UA-camr is probably in this area”... very exciting since the 20th is one month in my van. So I’ve been looking for you..grew up in the Lockport area..small harbor town called Wilson that has a great history because during prohibition the town was one of the safest areas to get into with their bootleg. Check it out if you’re still in the area. Luv ya girl!
Just got back from Lockport with a group of youth from our church in western Maryland. Had a great visit. Spent three nights there seeing the sites and using it as a home base to explore Niagara and Buffalo as well. Thumbs up to Best Western, Erie Canal Discovery Center, Papa Leo's Pizza, and more!
Fantastic job! Love the “side door” entrance! I keep telling myself I will get out and explore these places but I am having to enjoy them through your beautiful work. Thank you!
Damn Girl. I wanna roll with you. The camera moves are getting better and better. And your producing is on point. This has got to be the biggest middle finger to your former employer. They have no idea what they've lost. Keep telling those stories!
Damn. How have I never *Heard* of Lockport. If you ever get that whole Visa thing fixed - you should think about coming on up to the Rideau Canal. It looks like they used similar technology to our Eastern Ontario version. Hope the plans for a photography exhibit are proceeding ahead. Cathy, Out o'Ottwa/Bytown
Ahh another Lesson from the Professor... The Erie Canal is amazing I hope you decide to grace us with visits along its path in future programs. Read thru your comments the one mentioning Woodie Allen is absolutely priceless!!! You deserve a Crew &Budget to continue to tell such interesting stories and please don’t do something dumb like fall in love. We need more of your wit charm and personality. Peace
Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your talent for story telling & movie making. Your videos are always very interesting, informative & well made. Like mini documentaries! Thank you for sharing your work with us!👍🏼
I've heard of Lockport and of course the Erie Canal. The Canal was a major development for trade and transport in the North-East. Your video put that Human touch to an interesting area.
"Divorced his wife and married his adopted daughter"
I had NO idea about Woody Allen's connection to the Erie Canal.
@Chimp 6 I'm ROFLMAO at your comment. TYVM

Love Casey logic "the side door didn't"t say anything, soooo"
Im from Lockport, didnt expect to see you here. If youre still in the area you might be interested in seeing the Buffalo Central Terminal

I wish this was a weekly tv series....So enjoy you!

This is close to my hometown and I didn’t know about the cave tour. Girl you are amazing.

Your future looks really-- really-- good. And no one can say what it looks like, because you're breaking new ground. Love that!
Does anybody else remember singing the song Erie Canal in elementary school?
Vaguely
Yes

Hi again Casey,
Another beauty in the can!
Thanks for being here and sharing your labor of love with us today!
Tim in Florida
That was a great video, Casey. I really enjoyed that one.
I did this tour many years ago, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Fantastic job! Love the “side door” entrance! I keep telling myself I will get out and explore these places but I am having to enjoy them through your beautiful work. Thank you!
Your videos just KEEP getting more and more interesting! Loved this one.🐎
Awesomeness no one can match on UA-cam. Thank you for the history of Lockwood in your amazing second to none way.
Love your work thanks for all the history big thanks from Down Under Australia

Well guess I know where I am going next summer to visit. Thank you Casey, great job always.
Thank you (again) for a great story
Love your videos.. keep on bringing great content
Awesome as usual. Hopefully they are RV friendly!!!!!
You are incredible! Thank you for continuing your amazing videos!
Damn Girl. I wanna roll with you.
The camera moves are getting better and better. And your producing is on point. This has got to be the biggest middle finger to your former employer. They have no idea what they've lost. Keep telling those stories!
Loving your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
Again, wonderful video. Best part: "...magical booby booby juice."!
Thanks for this from a former Lockportian.
A very good presentation and history.
As always, wonderful video! I look forward to your adventures more than any other.
Learning a lot from these videos! Thank you, Casey!
You amaze me with each video, I would have never know about this town of Lockport if not for you. Great job Casey!
Damn. How have I never *Heard* of Lockport.
If you ever get that whole Visa thing fixed - you should think about coming on up to the Rideau Canal. It looks like they used similar technology to our Eastern Ontario version.
Hope the plans for a photography exhibit are proceeding ahead.
Cathy, Out o'Ottwa/Bytown
My hometown. I love seeing this stuff
Ahh another Lesson from the Professor...
The Erie Canal is amazing I hope you decide to grace us with visits along its path in future programs.
Read thru your comments the one
mentioning Woodie Allen is absolutely priceless!!!
You deserve a Crew &Budget to continue to tell such interesting stories and please don’t do something dumb like fall in love.
We need more of your wit charm and personality.
Peace
I think this is my favorite of the location videos so far. Adding Lockport to my list of destinations to hit.
Fascinating! Thank you Casey!
Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your talent for story telling & movie making. Your videos are always very interesting, informative & well made. Like mini documentaries! Thank you for sharing your work with us!👍🏼
If Lockport isn't paying you for this excellent advertisement, they should. Casey, you are so good at video and narration, bottle it and sell it.
Outstanding as always, Casey!!!
The underground boat ride is now closed due to an accident where the boat overturned and a man died because he got stuck under the boat.
Another great discovery on your journey. Love the way you continue to bring these ruins and towns to life for us. Thank you!
Your shot/vision after @1:53 is f'ng SICK. 💥💥👊
I've heard of Lockport and of course the Erie Canal. The Canal was a major development for trade and transport in the North-East. Your video put that Human touch to an interesting area.
I just love your narrating
Adding that town to my travel list. Thanks!
If and when you make it to the Chesapeake Bay Area, I can arrange a crabbing or oyster gathering as I have friends in low places ;)
I live in Lockport. It sucks. I knew some of the history behind the caves, but not all of it
Awesome tour and 1 more story of small town USA. You go babe and keep them coming.
Awww, you are the best tour guide EVER...even if I'm drinking...not saying I am...LOL ✌🐧
Good one! Another great spot to explore! Amazing history in small town America. Thank you!
Scary caves! Added to bucket list.
We'll Mam you are just the bee's knees 😎
