    Another great roadside video, Jay.
    Your appreciation of History is always wonderful.
    “Those who don’t value the Past, will have a sad Future.”
    We should always Honor the memory of those who came before us and we should appreciate their deeds and accomplishments.
    Your understanding of this important concept is rare in this world today.
    You are to be commended for your documenting of the Past and the buildings, structures, and relics of Bygone Times. I always enjoy your videos, I’m sure there are many more who enjoy them as much as I.
    Safe travels, my friend, always look forward to new Adventures from you. 👋

Adam has been through Williston a few years back as well. he got to see the old High school before they tore it down. thanks again for coming out and show casing our area. seeing things i normally do not see as i pass by those very places that you featured. also there is a cafe with PINK FLAAAAMMIIIIINGGGOOO theming in High Springs!

    Omg, that old abandoned barn on the way down the road to Two Tails is my grandfather's old barn. My grandparents lived there for about 20 years before moving. They had horses and lots of cats at that barn. I remember playing in the hay. There's a huge pit behind the barn that we would slide down on feed bags.

    All about Elephants in Williston. I visited this place two years ago. Learned a lot about Elephants, at the time, they had Asian Elephants. Since Elephants are considered wild animals, the facility has to keep them pretty well contained and don't allow people to just wander onto the property. You may want to go on a tour, so call the number to see when they have the tours. It was $20 a person and all proceeds go to the care of the animals.
