During these gray times you have to grab those little pieces of happiness like seagull slides and "hamburg" dives. I grew up in Michigan, small town, so this really warms my heart. Thanks for posting!!
Can I just say, it's really awesome that you always say "we" when talking about where you're headed or what you're doing next. It really makes it feel like all us fans are going along with you! As someone who has been working from home for almost a year and has had very few adventures since COVID began, I very much appreciate you Jacob.
Lol! Nobody can find taxidermied animals like you can! It's your super power. 😊 The vintage snowmobiles were really cool. They had a lot more character back then!
This was awesome! Thank you. I was born and we currently live in NC, but my husband is a Michigander and his family lives up there. We vacation every year on Lake Huron in Oscoda, so cool to see you visited that area. We've been to Dinosaur Gardens, Besser Museum, and Mackinaw City and love them all! Can't wait to go back. Thanks for filling my winter with some Michigan memories.
I've been subscribed to you for 2 years now and I think this might be one of my favorite series because it's really unique! Thanks for putting out some of the best stuff on you tube
You really have a wonderful eye for the unusual. Loved this portion of the trip. That museum was a little gem. The cherry pie was the best. Really enjoyed this. Happy Travels. Keep Safe ❤ Keep Well ❤
After all the haunts we’ve been on with Jacob. The craziest scary thing ever was watching him walk on that ice. Hahaha dang straight up crazy in an awesomest way.
Deer Acres was a tiny amusement park. My family and I went there when I was about 10. Pinconning Cheese is AMAZING! Oddly, all the Family Videos up here are open and seemingly doing well, but they do all sell CBD, which is an odd combo, movies and CBD, lol! I used to live in Ossineke, so you were walking around in my old stomping grounds, lol. Same with Alpena, but now we live about an hour west of there. Believe it or not, even though I lived just down the road, I never went into Dinosaur Gardens. I need to change that. That big eagle head at the museum was made by Tom Moran of Moran Iron Works, which is here in Onaway only about 3 miles from our house. He makes tons of iron sculptures. The story on that wolf is after they transplanted wolves back here to northern Michigan some farmer thought it was a coyote and shot it. 😔 He was fined and it was seized and taxidermied for the museum. It was all over our local news when it happened. The Yeck Drive In has amazing food! We just tried it last summer. Yes, Mystery Town USA is still in business and doing fine. They are just closed for the winter right now. Somebody made a mistake in fall 2019 when they closed for the winter and marked it as permanently closed and confused everybody, lol! Great video as always and it was really fun seeing you go to all the places my husband and I grew up around!
Really enjoying this series. Pinconning is noted for it's longhorn cheese. Probably explains the mice. Also the old timers used to call hamburgers simply hamburgs. I grew up in michigan. 👍
You inspire me. I used to be a pipe dreamer until I found you and thank God I did. You show people what you like because you like it, Everyone else(Most TH-camrs) on this platform is more about just the money you can make from the content.
This is an awesome series! The bird slide was the best laugh I’ve had in a while. I’m from Kentucky but lived for 5 years near the UP of Michigan in Wisconsin. Went for family vacation to Makinaw Island. Somewhere there’s a picture of me and my grandpa on frozen waves. Really enjoying these videos. Long time subscriber!
I admire you for risking weather and coming up to my part of the country. We don’t see many vloggers up here. Most are southern boys without your bravery
Loving this series, Jacob. (I'm dying to see inside some of these cheese and butcher shops!) Thanks for showing the overlooked parts of this country beyond the typical homogenized landscape of Walmarts and Targets and McDonalds...no idea there was so much old neon out there. Awesome.
The Paul Bunyan in Ossineke (Oss-in-eek) used to have a speaker in his shirt pocket and he would speak. Alpena also has a shipwreck museum that is really cool.
I’m a long time viewer and I was so excited to see that you passed through my hometown. I wish I would have had a chance to meet you and say hello. Safe travels and I hope that I may get a chance to meet you one day 😁
I grew up in northern Michigan, Ancona county, Lincoln to be exact. It’s about 5 miles west of Harrisville, which you just drove thru. So many thing have not changed up there in 40 some years! I love watching you!
My dad grew up near Oscoda along the shores of the Au Sable River. He remembers visiting the Paul Bunyan statue and the Dinosaur Gardens when he was a kid. Great video!
I have family in Michigan. I live in southern Arizona but, my hometown is Elizabethtown Kentucky which the Dixie highway goes through. Can't wait to see your video of my home town!
Love this series of videos! I was excited to see the 45th parallel sign. I live about a block away from it in Oregon. Can’t wait to see the rest of this series.
Great content, Carpetbagger! Something about the scenery of northern towns/cities with the decaying industrial areas mixed with the expansive grey nothingness of winter that really fascinates me. A great snapshot of that particular chunk of America.
Hello Jacob!! Lovin the series! There is a Family Video still opened in Lima Ohio on Cole St. Here's hoping you have plenty of warm cloths. Brrr! Stay safe.
Theres one near me in Muncie, Indiana. We used to have one in my hometown too, Berwyn, IL at Bunyan's hotdogs..You walked between his legs to enter the hotdog stand ..good memories..awesome vid bagger!!
@@majorbuzz yep home to svengoolie lol! Rich (the current svengoolie) was our neighbor for many years..I didn't realize my horrible typos!! I used to love going to the original HRI on 31st, unfortunately they just knocked it down a couple months ago..Idk why, should of been marked historical. My father used to live right next door to Fitzgerald's, above the old pizza place that used to be there (next to Wilks the liquor/neighborhood store). They filmed sooo many cool movies there when we were little (Mid to late 80's until about 90) We met Madonna (filming a league of their own), Ralph Macchio's girlfriend from karate kid (forgot her name lol), we saw Tom Cruise buying tampons in Wilks lol! Those are the few that stuck out, I was born in 81..I'd have to ask my Dad about the others, but it was very cool. I live in Indiana now near Indianapolis..so i'm not too far away. I go out there at least once a month but it has changed so much.. it's sad. My parents are still there.. my Dad refuses to move out of Berwyn and my mom is next door in Brookfield with family scattered through out the burbs. It will always be home! Little village is not a very good place to visit these days lol unfortunately.
My husband, who created the map Jacob is using, is from Michigan. I always thought of Michigan as a state of steel and soot. After numerous trips up north, I have come to love this very beautiful state. We never take a trip there without a visit to the DIA and a burger (or two or three) from Motz.
@@sharoncurtis7790 visit traverse city, The Edmund Fitzgerald at whitefish point, and the ultimate spot cooper harbor on top of brockway mountain. I’ve been around the world and it’s still the most beautiful place on earth.
Dinosaur Gardens is a childhood favorite of mine, my family would stop there often on our way to Alpena to visit my grand parents. The Paul Bunyan with Babe The Ox that you took a photo with , i remember they used to reside at a small goat petting zoo years ago and always loved visiting the Besser Museum as a kid! this just brings back good memories!
Be safe, those fisherman know which parts are thick enough to walk on and could get themselves out of danger. Note to self, who will rescue me if I am in danger? Loving your video uploads each day. Take care and looking forward to more uploads.
Getting behind but what a great video. Love the beautiful lake and all the roadside statues. Appreciate all you do Carpetbagger! Best TH-camr of all time!
Jacob, you sure find the neatest attractions! I liked the mouse & cheese best. I think my hobby cow would handle your weight enough to ride it once, it's on a steel spring cemented into the ground..
Another scary bridge!! Lol I saw the Mackinaw Bridge on a list of most scary bridges in the United States. Crazy. That Family Video closed quickly. You were just there yesterday if I have your video uploads correct. I guess Paul Bunyan pride is a thing!! I only consider him a character from childhood stories. The beaches were absolutely stunning. Amazing that they are here in the states. Thanks for another great ride and journey Jacob!!!
![TEEDEE TADA - DIAMOND NARAKORN X LEGO LYKN [Special Dance Performance]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QgtZedFeumA/mqdefault.jpg)
Drone shots, abandoned buildings, dinosaurs, this trip is like a best of Carpetbagger album
@@maybeitsneato Did you skip over the Taxidermy in this video?
i guess I am pretty off topic but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Terrance Oakley I use flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Leonard Cody yea, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :D
@Leonard Cody Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it !
I've grown to love the simplicity and humbleness of your videos. No music, no funny Justin noises. Just you. Thank you Carpetbagger

My dude, you were born to do this stuff. Please never stop
I love how he always pushes the camera lenses up against the windows.
Really appreciate your road trips, especially during the pandemic.
You always find the most interesting places and things!
Have fun and be safe ✌️💜

Love this wonderful trip. Carpetbagger is the best. You always make me smile 😃
I love seeing old movie theaters, old stores, and Paul Bunyan statues. Great vlog!

I'm so loving this trip! I miss the snow and it's wonderful to have you drive to these awesome places!
Michigan in the winter is someplace special!
Absolutely loving this road trip its great to see stuff that's not been youtubed to death 👍 keep doing what you do Jacob and thank you.
Taxidermy, Paul Bunyan and drone footage!! Two thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻
I’m really enjoying the Dixie Highway series

I love these videos on the Dixie Highway! I didn't realize how big it was and far it went before now! Have a great weekend!
Really enjoying this series. Pinconning is noted for it's longhorn cheese. Probably explains the mice. Also the old timers used to call hamburgers simply hamburgs. I grew up in michigan. 👍
That cheese really is best on cheeseburgers. Very good stuff.

This is my fav thing you have ever done on yer channel!!!! TY so much for bringing us on this adventure!
Still enjoying watching your trip on the Dixie Hwy! Safe travels!

These vlogs are just great!! I love road trips and seeing something unique. Loving the small towns. Thanks Jacob!
Im a born and raised Michigander( grand rapids area) and we call all convience stores party stores.
I like that! I'm Canadian, we call them corner stores (whether it's on a corner or not)
Born and raised in michigan Here too. I always thought party store was a nationwide term
@@allisynth Just a lil curious, do you possibly know why it's called party stores?
@@Withgreatpowercomesnofuture no idea to be honest
@@Withgreatpowercomesnofuture they're called party stores because that's where you go for your party supplies (beer and liquor)
Those great statues really add some warmth to the winter out there!
Enjoying following you on your journey. Can't wait to see what's next.
Cool to see you in my hometown of Saginaw and all the towns and sights I've known throughout Michigan in my lifetime!
I love the Christ-based dino park. I'm really enjoying this series. So many great things in each video.
This is awesome. Never had the money to do what you’re doing, but I live it vicariously on your channel. Love from Marseille, France, Jacob!
Vive la France,greatings from Germany.
@@UweJMeyer thanks mate ! We’re in this All together !!
I really like this Dixie Hwy series ...im in Louisville Ky, its cool to see all these other places ive never been
Cool seeing the ice fishing.
I admire you for risking weather and coming up to my part of the country. We don’t see many vloggers up here. Most are southern boys without your bravery
....yes, I mean you, Adam the Woo and Justin Scarred, lol
I always think of the classic Disney cartoon about Paul Bunyan and Ol' Blue Ox
Indeed
You mean "Babe?"
I’m loving this series Jacob. I live in Michigan. Thank you for this. Luv ya carpetbagger
Hey Jacob
Walking on that lake really made me anxious. Glad you didn't go any further. Loving this trip!
Loving this series, Jacob. (I'm dying to see inside some of these cheese and butcher shops!) Thanks for showing the overlooked parts of this country beyond the typical homogenized landscape of Walmarts and Targets and McDonalds...no idea there was so much old neon out there. Awesome.
Great video! I love the fact that the first Babe you show has no ears. That made her/him special to me!
10/10 for the rolling stop at the start of the video.
Love seeing the little towns and liked drone footage of ice fishing!!
Your so welcome carpetbagger i love your videos im just glad i can be on the ride thanks for having me along its an honor
I’m going to be in Michigan in April. I’ll have to visit some of these places.
Love the taxidermy! You never see cute and unusual poses like those.
"So I guess in your face flat-earthers." lol! nice one!
Yeah! Although the Foucault Pendulum would still work for a flat earth, provided the poles are in the center of earth rotation.
We go to dinosaur gardens every year, the kids love it. We love the Alpena area. Great beach with a great splash pad and playground
I think it's Bend, Oregon that has the last Blockbuster on the planet.🤘🥳
Great trip! Magnificent videos. Going to go back and watch the entire series again when it's over
The Paul Bunyan in Ossineke (Oss-in-eek) used to have a speaker in his shirt pocket and he would speak. Alpena also has a shipwreck museum that is really cool.
Loving it on the Dixie Highway! Yeck Restaurant! Lol! New intro is awesome! Two thumbs up my friend 👍 👍 😊
LOVE the wave lapping.
I’m a long time viewer and I was so excited to see that you passed through my hometown. I wish I would have had a chance to meet you and say hello. Safe travels and I hope that I may get a chance to meet you one day 😁

You were brave walking on the frozen pond or lake. Again really enjoying these vlogs.
That fish with the hat reminded me of the movie The incredible Mr. Limpet with Don Knotts in it lol
Ana Griffin my kids loved that movie we took them to the drive in to see it.
I said the same thing! 👍
Loved seeing all the things I pass by on my way north.
My dad grew up near Oscoda along the shores of the Au Sable River. He remembers visiting the Paul Bunyan statue and the Dinosaur Gardens when he was a kid. Great video!
Love you’re videos man!! Keep up the good work bro!
I'm really loving the Dixie Highway videos!
When you eat along the way at someplace special, please take us along.

OMG I can't believe you are in our area...we enjoy watching your segments....safe travels God Bless 🦋✝️😘
You were/ are in my area!
Those snowmobiles were pretty frickin' sweet...🤘🏼💯✔
Great content, Carpetbagger! Something about the scenery of northern towns/cities with the decaying industrial areas mixed with the expansive grey nothingness of winter that really fascinates me. A great snapshot of that particular chunk of America.
It’s a very unique feel
Welcome to Michigan be safe
thanks for stopping and sharing the most interesting roadside stuff. Really appreciate it
Love this series hope u do more like this

21:42 crazy Dale revving the hell outta it hahaha listen at em 🤣
I like how the cement looks like actual material on Paul Bunyan
Really loving this road trip all the small towns and the road side advertising it’s great.Stsy safe 🇺🇸🇬🇧😷👍
Welcome to the midwest in winter. I always wish i was in the south every winter haha. Another great part of this cool road trip series. Safe travels.

I don't know who did the taxidermy in this video but he or she is probably the finest Taxidermist I have ever seen. Very good.
Have been missing my home state a bit lately, so I was pleasantly surprised to see you there.
That was some nicely done taxidermy.
24:19 “I was never that good at skipping stones” ... [PLOP] 😆😂🤣 awesome. I truly LOL’d!
Getting behind but what a great video. Love the beautiful lake and all the roadside statues. Appreciate all you do Carpetbagger! Best TH-camr of all time!
That was quite the museum! Loved the beach/lake stops, very beautiful! Fun little cherry pie history at the end!
This is hands down one of your best road trips!!!!🤪💟
Looks very cold there! Family videos are all closing, how sad is that? Love your videos, you work so hard for your channels content
Jacob, you sure find the neatest attractions! I liked the mouse & cheese best. I think my hobby cow would handle your weight enough to ride it once, it's on a steel spring cemented into the ground..
Another one of your best works . Outstanding variety . Nice photo shots . I did laugh out loud at your lame attempt to skip a stone in h 2 o
The taxidermy is awesome. There is a cool Museum outside of Traverse City. Its got a 2 headed calf.

Great video as usual...brought back some bittersweet memories of travelling during the winter. Stay safe and warm🐲⛄
Great job! I am in Michigan and did not know about the Dixie Highway
