    When I was a child I had the metal skates. Where you slip shoes onto the skates and you tighten it up with a key.

    Eric- In the midwest where it gets cold, and even here in central Washington, most things open on Memorial Day weekend. Campgrounds, fountains, beaches, parks, pools, etc. Then everything closes on Labor Day weekend.

    I really like your editing with the motorcycle on the map. I follow you as much as possible on google maps and sometimes I get lost, lol. Love your quirky videos.

    That is known as a DUST DEVIL. It's heat thermals that cause an upward Vortex picking up loose debris as it moves. I've hit pretty large ones myself while driving causing me to jolt from side to side.

    Jax's likes being where you sit because when your gone it comforts him, to bad those water fountains weren't working they looked cool especially that giant head, keep up the good work!

    @frednahall4617 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The skates which fit on your shoes is what I learned to skate on, under my carport, in the mid 1950s! Had to have a skate key around your neck or somewhere nearby, because you had to adjust them often. This was a good video, Eric. I love some of the same quirky stuff you do, and I'm decades older than you :) Abandoned places intrigue me, and I wonder about the stories, or, as a writer, I can make up my own. Nebraska has turned out to be very interesting :)

    We in the Midwest call those "dust devils" & they r teeny tornadic whirlwinds.

  • @zoopercoolguy
    @zoopercoolguy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Thanks for stopping at the time capsule! Back when I was in college at Seward, we'd be out there regularly because the furniture place behind it (called the "House of Davisson" then) was also a video rental business. There's actually two time capsules there. The first is underground, with the 1975 Vega. The second is the pyramid and was installed in 1983. The pyramid has a used 1975 Toyota. There's also a brand-new Kawaski motorcycle in the first time capsule.

  • @johnlenz872
    @johnlenz872 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    LOL! I grew up in that part of the Midwest. We called those dirt devils! Aside from the rotation, they are nothing like a tornado! ;) I've really been enjoying your Lincoln Highway series! Thanks so much!

  • @pierreshields2848

    Hi Eric and Jax. Enjoy catching up on your travels buddy. Btw that head sculpture you passed reminded me of that head sculpture thingy in the movie "Prometheus" :-p

  • @charlescain7962
    @charlescain7962 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    HAHA, the metal skates fit over your shoes, reverence the song, "I have a brand new pair of roller skates, you have a brand new key...", the key allows adjustment of the skates to fit.

  • @crawford757
    @crawford757 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    so for the first time i noticed those lincoln highway signs.. In council Bluffs on Broad Way their main Street. You should go to the Union Pacific Museum in Council Bluffs just off the High way very cool. Free tour.. Boys town in Omaha also a free tour. Omaha has a 3 mile section of the original Cobble stone Lincoln Highway preserved. They re routed the Lincoln high way in the 50's in Omaha and the section was set aside just for history sake.
    great show keep it going

  • @allentowngal4769
    @allentowngal4769 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Love the new cycle graphic! I actually had some of those metal skates when I was a kid. My brother always took them apart and nailed each half to a board and made... wait for it... SKATE BOARDS! They had metal wheels and weren't great. Also the biggest pain was you needed a key to adjust the size on them. Yup... I'm old... lol

    We got in a dust devil on a lake! We got to our fishing spot in a John boat with an electric motor, and it pushed us all the way back across the lake to where we started! Dad was not a happy camper!

    We, too, loved Nebraska.
    As a former special education teacher, it was inspiring to see Boys' Town in Omaha.
    We also felt the rest stops were exceptionally nice.
    We could be comfortable living in Nebraska.

      @dgpuig45 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That is what they call them in the desert areas out West, mostly dust devils. However, getting hit by one of those while driving a high profile vehicle makes it seem like a mini-tornado. lol

  • @LostOnLandAgain
    @LostOnLandAgain 6 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    The motorcycle on the map was an excellent touch. My first skates were those ones with the metal wheels. We had our skate key on a string around our necks. Those things were so deadly! They'd come off our shoes but were still strapped to our ankles. Lots of rough crashes. LOL

    @staroceans8677 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Eric you're always coming up with fun innovative things, the bike on the map was cool.
    It's nice to see it's well-received judging by comments.
    I also imagine it serves dual purpose, helping to hamper frequent derogatory and unnecessary comments over what you wear and how you ride your bike. 😏
    You take precautions to protect yourself and Jax... that's all that matters.
    👍😺😉

  • @dorothymerrell6091

    My first car was a 1975 Chevy Vega! Despite the Vega not having the best reputation, mine ran great for many, many years. I sold it in 1989 to a teenager and it was still running good, only needing a new water pump.

    Definitely unusual stuff in Lincoln, thought it was a larger city.
    The route has 'lots' of history.
    Time capsules are fascinating, surprised that one wasn't longer considering the stash and size. In 2025, it will only have been 50 years. 1975 doesn't seem so long ago.
    Thanks for the video! Safe travels. 🙂

      Lincoln is about 250,000 people and is the second largest city in Nebraska (Omaha first). Interesting note: On Nebraska football home games, Memorial Stadium is the third largest population center in the state. Stadium seats 90,000+ people, has the NCAA consecutive sellout record and good luck getting a ticket without going to a scalper.

    • @JaamieMaarie
      @JaamieMaarie 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Just found this online:
      ig, Clanging Head of Bricks
      Ten feet tall, weighing eight tons, it's the largest of several big brick heads built by New York artist James Tyler. Named "Groundwater Colossus," it's meant to personify the Ogallala Aquifer that sits beneath it. Loudspeakers embedded in the head sometimes play the sounds of tricking water -- and sometimes play the sounds of clanging metal to represent the jarring impact of people on the environment. Tyler completed the head in 2010 and shipped it to Lincoln as bricks. It sat in storage until it was reassembled 2012.

I didn't get rid of them until I was in my 50's. My food got too wide for them. I can't resist skating if I have to take a grandkid to a skating rink for a party! ~ I love the bike moving on the map! You're so creative! ~ The brick/water head was amazing!! ~
