The One Where We Die In Alabama (Jackson Lake Island, Abandoned Movie Set, and GOATS!)
ฝัง

- Jackson Lake Island is a CRAZY hidden gem just outside of Montgomery, Alabama. Not only is it absolutely BEAUTIFUL, surrounded by water and covered with trees draped in Spanish Moss...it also has dozens of goats AND an abandoned old movie set town. What more could you ask for? Campsites? It has those too! This seriously has become one of our favorite trips. It's just a unique and fun place.
Tim Burton's 'Big Fish' was filmed there in the early 2000s and the fictional town of 'Spectre' was left up, some of the set has since been destroyed by flooding and inclement weather but there's still plenty left to see. The goats have now completely taken over the town of props and even live under the church, they go wherever they want on the entire island and are super friendly!
If that wasn't enough, the nearby city of Montgomery is so charming and historical...it's well worth a visit. We found the state of Alabama to be incredibly underrated itself. Having mountains, coastline, and loaded with biodiversity. It's actually the 5th most biodiverse state in the country, and the 4 above it are more than double its size! It ranks number one in North America for species of turtles, freshwater fish, snails, and mussels. Alabama also has some of the most inland waterways of almost any state, over 1,500 miles! This is super evident on Jackson Lake Island, which is surrounded by unique looking birds, fish, and plant life. Major props to the owners for leaving it wild and undeveloped!
We HIGHLY recommend a visit to Montgomery and when you go, do NOT miss the beautiful and rare Jackson Lake Island! You can bring a tent, take your RV, rent the tiny house on the island, or even just visit for the day! Either way, the friendly goats can't wait to meet you.
We had fun making this video a bit more 'silly' than usual ;) Hope you enjoy! Please don't forget to like and subscribe! Have you been to Alabama? What are your favorite unique travel destinations?

My brother from Santos Chronicles showed me your video and told us we were visiting here before I even moved to AL! 🤣 thank you for the suggestion of this awesome adventure! If you have other suggestions in AL, let me know now that I live here! ❤️
Hey Eiffel! I have seen you featured in Santos Chronicles videos before! You are so funny and when I see you I always think of you rolling down a sand dune lol. I am so glad you guys visited Jackson Lake Island! It's such a magical place. We visited one other spot in Alabama called the Natural Bridge of Alabama and it's in a town called Natural Bridge. It was really beautiful! There are a lot of places that we have seen online that we haven't been to yet but really want to visit like Stephens Gap Cave, DeSoto Falls, the "Neversink Pit" which is on Atlas Obscura! It's really a beautiful state. You'll have to let me know if you guys find/visit something cool!
@@laurenandseth thank you for the suggestions!!! I’ve saved a screenshot of this so I can refer back to it 😆 Can’t wait to start exploring!
I really liked your start of the video! 😀👍 Interesting island! Lovely goats... Hopefully you made it out there and didn't turn out into a goat! Your goatisch was pretty good! 😀👍 All the best!
Haha thanks! This one starts differently from our other videos. 😂 We ended up not being turned into goats lol. Thanks for watching 🙏

Extraordinary experience guys!!!! Loved that ❤️😊 Nice scenery...you make me feel ... I wish I was there too ☺️👏 Have nice holidays guys!!!
Thanks!!! Yeah there is something special about that place ✨ I’m glad you liked the video! Happy Holidays 👍😊
Very inventive guys... thanks for showing us this island but I'm not sure I know this movie...might have to look it up.
Loved all the goats around...so cute especially the baby ones.
You should check it out! It's a great movie. If you have Amazon Prime it's free to watch on there! 😊 the goats were so cute! We loved watching the tiny little baby jump around haha! Thanks for watching!!
@@laurenandseth Yep, I saw that little baby jump at the end....very cute...LOL. Will see what I can do about watching, No amazon prime in my house but there are other ways!
You guys are too creative. My sister and her husband are moving to Alabama. Why are there so many goats over there? What a Town that does not exist. Oh man, I love the movie Big Fish. Totally one of my favorite movies of all time for sure. My wife would love this place since she is a goat fanatic. Now this is officially on the list of places we want to go to. Really cool honor system. That drone shot over the land bridge was pretty cool.
That's so cool! Where are they moving to in Alabama? I've heard a lot of great things about their cities 😊 I don't know why they decided to put goats on the island but I'm glad they did! lol. You'll have to take your wife and kids there! The goats are so sweet ❤️ I was waiting on a comment from someone who has seen the movie!! It's so good. We rewatched it after our visit there haha!
@@laurenandseth We just went to the Home Alone House today and we watched it before we left. My sister will be moving close to Huntsville.
Very beautiful presentation with amazing place to enjoy the island 🏝
Have good day and see you around 👍
So nice of you to say!! Thanks 😊
I want to check out that Tree House. Love how you guys edit. So entertaining and remove all the fluff. Loved learning more about this place and I'm so curious. That's a crazy theory that everyone turned to goats.
So glad you like our edit style!! We definitely like to get to the point lol 👌 we had fun coming up with a storyline for this visit 😂 Thanks for watching!!
Road trips are where is at. We thought about doing RV life. But it's pretty cold right now. so we will stick to the Caribbean. Wow, the lake is absolutely stunning and all the falling leaves, simply beautiful. Nice drone shots. Looks like a fun day!!
You had the right idea with the Caribbean! We actually just moved to Mexico ourselves :) It was a lot of fun that day!
found you on Santos chronicles. Can't wait to watch some of you videos.
Very good vlog and video Good day my friend
Thank you for watching 😊
I loved big fish, that’s cool. I need to brush up American geography (wait I’m in America too but huh 🤔) because I had no idea there was an island in Alabama. The places you guys find are really interesting and once this Covid stuff is over, I’d love to drive south of the border and see some of the rural locations you’ve featured, I’m not fan of your big cities however . Great video!
Yeah it’s a great movie!! When you take a road trip down here you’ll have to stop by this place. I definitely like a lot of our rural areas. They have most of the hidden gems! 😊 thanks for watching!!
HEHEHE, love your intro, really grabbed us. Really looked like a beautiful little town, we must say we haven't seen the movie, however will try and check it out after watching this. You have our FULL support, so lets please STAY connected. Keep safe. ONE LOVE
Haha I’m glad to hear that! It’s probably the most wacky intro we have ever done... maybe 😂 you’ll have to watch the movie!! It’s really great. Thanks for your support ❤️
Hahaha this is the best thing I have EVER seen. Goat heaven seems pretty legit I can’t lie
Right, if there's goats we knows it's heaven for sure! ;)
nice experience,beautiful place
like 62
Thanks!
As soon as you walked in, I was like "That looks like the town from Big Fish." Then to find out they actually did leave up the set from Big Fish and people can see it in person - even stay overnight camping! This was an amazing find! Thanks for sharing this with us. This place will make it on our 2021 travel list for sure!
Heyyy it’s awesome to hear from a fellow Big Fish fan 😂 yes, they left it up and you guys have to go check it out! Such an awesome place 😊 thanks so much for watching!
That is a totally crazy place. Thank you for sharing that adventure. We both got a great laugh from it. At least now you know how to speak goat.
Hahaha 😂 we’re pretty fluent in goat after that adventure! I’m glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
That was really great! How did you ever find this place? Thanks for showing us the unusual!
Thanks for watching! One of our friends told us about it and we knew we had to go see it for ourselves! 😄
hahaha this was awesome! and this might be the coolest place we've ever seen! i love goats and want to live here now lol would be totally okay with being turned into a goat.
Hahaha! So glad you liked the video and it definitely wouldn’t be a bad life to be a goat on that island!!! They have the whole island to roam on ❤️❤️ thanks for watching!
Whoa. This is a super upload guys. Love the hilarious way you started the Vlog. Quite interesting place and good to know the history.. Actually it should be named as the Goat island with the no of goats visible everywhere. Totally enjoyed the content here guys. Great place and so well presented.
Haha we decided to really dive into a good storyline for this video 😂 so glad that you liked it!! Goat island would definitely be a fitting name lol. Thanks for watching 😊
I love the intro ! This place is beautiful you’re most likely in heaven 😀
Thanks!! Yeah I think we knew it was heaven when we started hanging out with the goats lol ❤️❤️
What a cool experience! I've watched Big Fish and it's an awesome movie.
Nice!! Yeah it's a great movie for sure. Thanks for watching 😊
Favorite video so far! That was hilarious and the island looks amazing.
Haha thanks!! We’re glad you like it 😄
Best movie I've seen in years, glad it had a happy ending and the title was just clickbait 😂
Hahaha 😂 so glad you enjoyed! We wanted to spice the title up lol. Thanks for watching!
Hate to tell you this, but no ways you guys wake up in heaven. ;) ;)
Hahaha, we thought the same until we saw goats, then we knew it HAD to be heaven ;)
