    I admire how you don't sit still for very long. I read somewhere - 'Sometimes one day in a different place gives you more than 10 years of life at home'. So true.

    I just found out my best friend from college passed away. I don’t typically leave comments like this, but thank you for these videos. They’ve always been comforting at the end of a long day..but tonight it truly means that much more. You do more than just create content, and I know I’m not the only subscriber who feels this way. THANK YOU!

    I grew up in Eustis and spent my much younger years in Umatilla. That train car at the library used to be the children's section of the library. A lot of pre-K and kindergarten classes would take field trips there. It was a neat experience as a kid, especially with how they decorated it.

    Fun fact my great-great grandfather actually named Umatilla. So you were on some of my family’s old stomping grounds today. My family was originally from Ohio and settled in Florida and the place needed a name so he was communicating with someone in Umatilla, Oregon and loved the name so much he named the town after that. Just another two random facts there is a place named Astor, Florida north of the places you were traveling through today that has family ties to the ship Titanic. And the other fact you were in Paisley and never mentioned that some of Walt Disney’s family was from there and his parents were actually married there.

    I grew up in Umatilla and became a Realtor here and investor here. It is a beautiful place that has a lot of history. That old building was a church. There was more to it and it burned down. The giant white building belonged to one of the original families in the city, the Sebree's. She was my great grandmother.

I met some interesting locals and saw some " time capsule" towns that sat in another age. Parts of Route 66 were still drivable and enjoyed that part of the journey alot. Keep it going Adam I'm with you every mile..

    I hope that little General Store in Gotha is still there and survived the pandemic. I used to watch a show that was on TLC network called Trading Spaces and they filmed 2 room makeovers in 2 houses there, long before TLC started airing the poo-poo it shows now.

Back in 1997 I camped in that area of Paisley in the Ocala National Forest when we were doing some training with Civil Air Patrol cadets. It really is in the boonies. It is sad to remember how Splendid China was dismantled. We went there several times and especially enjoyed the Chinese acrobatics shows.

    Only Adam.... could stop by some cows, and...... Rollin' here. And then you filmed another live animal... a man of courage! LOL! My dad used to have a regular truck route through this area, and those little cafe/restaurants dot the landscape. There used to be an old guy who sold the BEST BBQ ever out of a hollowed out ald convenience store - he had old coke coolers in front and you ordered by the slab - you could get your choice slapped on a couple of slices of white bread, wrapped up in wax paper, stuck in a paper bag, and you were on your way. The Lake Eustis park was just across the street.... memories! Best damned BBQ I ever ate - a mustard sauce... OMG. Got caught in a BIG rainstorm after JONESING for our first spring motorcycle ride on March. Drove to Eustis when it was sunny and then it wasn't. We took cover in the car wash building, ate our BBQ standing up, then gave up waiting for it to pass and drove back to Orlando. Searched for a county that sold booze on Sunday (dry counties!) and passed a bottle of Jack back and forth so we could regain the feeling in our face and legs. Rain felt like NEEDLES all the way home. Took 20 min in a steaming bath before I could warm up again and feel my legs. LOVED the sculpture garden!

    I grew up in Umatilla. the church you where at is still open the sign was taken down from the back side after someone burnt the daycare part of the church down. the train car at the library we would do crafts in through the library program. its the only part of the original train that went through Umatilla. The old gas station on the corner has been many things growing up. a shaved ice place, a hot dog stand, pond shop, insolation office, now its a hair dresser she is only there for appointments though. the building you pointed out with white pillars the old bank still has alarm boxes on it, its pretty cool. defiantly a step back in time. some people speed though our small town thinking its nothing but if more people would slow down they might see why we love to call this home.

    I got nervous when I only saw one crow! The band Counting Crows actually got their name from an old nursery rhyme based on the practice of counting crows in order to predict your fortune. One for sorrow, two for joy, three for the birth of a girl, four for the birth of a boy, five you'll get silver, six you'll get gold, etc. and Adam (Duritz) discussed it in numerous interviews. He also references the practice in the song A Murder of One. A "murder of crows" being the term for a group or flock of crows similar to "a school of fish". Luckily, that second crow appeared, so you're obviously going to have a joyful trip!
