Instagram - AdamTheWooATW A really enjoyable drive up Hwy 17. Best part is I’d never stopped in most these little towns before. Love little hidden communities
We live in Port charlotte and take this way up to disney/universal a couple times a month. Like it better then 75/4 route. Just wish there was a way to go through davenport/celebration instead of having to deal with I4
These backroad videos are appreciated more than you know. I’m a local here in Orlando and it’s always nice to see areas I am not used to, makes me want to go out and explore the unknown 🤠
The building at 32:04 was not a jail but rather the Green Hotel that was built in 1925. Then later on it served as a train station. Now it is just basically abandoned which is sad.
@@FireLeyNyx Ok but originally it was built as a hotel. I knew from looking at it when I saw it in the past when driving through Bowling Green and looking it up to verify. There is another hotel in Dunedin called the Fenway that is built with the same architectural style just much larger.
i love , love , love the back roads videos, its like going to a place or places that time forgot sometimes , and trying picture what things might of been ♥️😊👍
We very much enjoyed this video …. Having lunch and taking a relaxing ride with you on the welcoming back roads of florida …. Doesn’t get any better than that … please share more of these with us
don't understand why we haven't seen this type of traveling already, been wondering when would see this type of content again, enjoyed it, like seeing an old friend.
LOVE these backroads trips! I moved back to FL after being gone 40 years. THESE places are the FL I remember from the 60's & 70's. THEY feel like home. WHAT in the world happened to this place?
That is not just a vine. That’s a type of Cactus, that is referred to as a variety of Vine Cactus that produces both flowers and fruit. Loves to grow on trees like you showed us. Love when you take leisurely travels such as this. See some places I’ve visited and many places we’ve yet to visit. Thank you for sharing this with us all. 🌎❤️😊
These are my favorite vids to watch in the morning. The woman you spoke with sounded very kind, and I bet she knew some interesting stories too! I love stories from people who live outside the cities.
Good morning Adam, now this one i like, sloooooowly driving along the back roads.The town of Arcadia looks nice and interesting.Take care from Universal Jamie.
That was excellent. Holy crap, that crow scared the bejesus out of me. And then a vulture ! Love these backroads explorations. Your curiosity and interest make you an excellent travel guide. And Ahnuld would like your impression
We did some of that, Arcadia to be exact. Peace River Outfitters would be why we would go back. Drop you off and canoe/kayak back to base. Lake Wales with Bock Tower, Spook Hill if cruising locally. Mount Dora. I'm missing something but we made it to Ceder Key then down the West Coast. We will do it again, and thanks always for you blog!
I’ve followed your page for a minute now and ironically on this one, you started this video in front of an old house I drive past most days of the week 😂
Adam my Dad lived in Fla. Orange city. I just loved this ride and sights today so fun. I mentioned my father because he would take us on small town tours in Fla. Thank you. You do this kind of video so well.
I am "Thumbs-up" 908 today! This was so good, the town reminded me of Port Richey, inland from Tarpon Springs (home of the sponge divers). Okay, Adam, early on in your video, when you showed the map: by where you were at Port Charlotte, one day, continue up to Sarasota and when you do, WOW!, stop by and emerse yourself in that which is the RINGLING, BARNUM AND BAILEY CIRCUS MUSEUM(!) Also on the property (which is lush and gorgeous and by a body of water) there is the original mansion of Mr. and Mrs. John and Mable Ringling. It is named the Ca- d'Zan and was the arc of living in the roaring 20's. There is also an art museum at the other end of the park which holds the couples fine art that rivals The Louve, I kid you not. Please video there one day, you should see it while upon this earth, Adam.
Frostproof Florida is an undiscovered gem surrounded by 2 beautiful lakes and a quaint downtown.The downtown could use a brewpub and some public art.The town is kind of a diamond in the rough.Great for someone especially retirees looking for a slower,more affordable lifestyle.
This is a awesome video ,, real life small town living. One day these places will be gone . I lived in ft. Lauderdale for 8 years back then it wasn't as busy as today . It crazy. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA....
Watching you drive through Winter Haven made me think about Cypress Gardens. Have you been there recently? I live in the UK but use to love Cypress Gardens, not been there since 2006. I hear it is part of Lego Land now, i wonder how much of the gardens still exist? Love this vlog about the backroads of Florida. Very interesting.
Well now, you missed so much in Zolfo Springs. The Cracker Trail Museum, Pioneer Park, Hardee County Wildlife Refuge, and the wonderful Pioneer Restaurant where I especially enjoyed the fried pork chops. The old steam locomotive at the museum is really neat. I guess you will just have to go back. I enjoyed the video. Your depiction of Arcadia was especially nice. Thanks.
Adam! Next time you are up in North Carolina, you ought to check out Washington, NC! Beautiful historic small town, with a waterfront. NC’s first capital Bath isn’t far away too. Bath is also where Blackbeard the pirate resided. Get you a Bill’s hot dog while you’re in Washington. You’ll love it!
That old school in Fort Ogden was converted into a home a someone i worked with at the Prison out on Hwy 70 and a few years ago the people who bought it from that guy built the big shop next to it and my oldest son worked there. That was Auto Mafia Racing.
Really enjoyed this one, Adam! The Live Oak at Zolfo Springs is amazing. The plant growing on it is called Dog Tail Cactus, native to Mexico and Central America. Love these "Sunday drive" type videos. Reminds me of when my Dad would take us on similar outings way back when!
Mr Adam the woo I admire you man you're living my dream ✨️ Always wanted to live like this just doing what I like enjoy myself traveling west to east south to north. But now I have a family and way too many bills to pay 😅 I guess I have to wait until retirement 😢 Anywho Keep doing whatever you like we enjoy all your videos like road trips, theme parks, etc
Adam I so enjoy this nice drive video and seeing small little towns and forgotten main streets. Oh PS BTW now that you have a homestead will you please plant some Petunias at your house.
Your trip on 17 reminded me of an old route sales job I had back in the late 80’s early 90’s. Was cool to see the changes / sameness of the area. There’s a castle made of scrape tin (new paper printing tin I think) a few miles to the west of Zolfo Springs - Solomon’s Castle - In Ona, Fl. Still there ( I googled). Could be a future adventure for you…
That is Night Blooming Cereus. I’m surprised you’ve never seen it, we have it everywhere here in St. Cloud. Gorgeous flowers that bloom every June, and only at night. Wish I could post a photo of it.
Greetings from Germany! (We met at Megacon, at Muckychris' 3Dprinting booth) Great road video! Helps me to get over the wait-time until my next trip to Florida! I love this stuff, as much as I enjoy your Disney, 192, Kissimmee and Orlando stuff! 🤘
hey adam that place you seen in bowling Green it was at one time place was hotel then it was a crazy house too I just thought tell you that plus I glad you showed my home town of wauchula too love see it again.cause that where I was born at.
Fort Meade, with its super wide main drag, reminds me of towns in Hollywood movies, like "To Wong Foo, thanks for everything! Love, Julie Newmar", and "Varsity Blues", "Children of the Corn" (he who walks between the rows...), and "Zombieland". The best one that comes to mind is the made-for-TV mini-series, the 1994 original "The Stand". And the friendly lady and her pooch in Homeland FL are right: real Florida! Where we goin' next, Boss? ↕️↔️↖️↙️⬅️⬇️
Truck stops are becoming more common with brands that have been just gas. Quick Trip has recently moved into the Jackson Mississippi area with 5 locations. Most being truck friendly.
"Arcadia historic district comprises"... not "compromises"... lol Thanx for the video.. come back to see us when you can stay longer and highlight more... much to do and see in good ole Arcadia !!!
Hey I love your videos! I live in a small town just 2 hours away from you. Down south you should visit Okeechobee. If your ever come, we could take you out on Lake Okeechobee!
A beautiful array of roadside goodness. We have driven Hwy 17 a few times going from Clermont to Cape Coral. My family spent several Memorial Day weekends at Peace River KOA in Arcadia when I was kid.
My neck of the woods we pass by all these towns on way north to Sarasota from South Fort Myers..never got off the interstate to investigate, this is cool 😎
Hey Adam have you ever thought about buying a good drone to use in some of your videos? I think it would be pretty cool on select videos. Sorry if you already have one and I missed it. Thanks for making my day so much better each day when I get to watch the woo ! Thanks again Adam I truly appreciate it bro 🙏 🙌 💯 👌 ❤️
I forgot to say you will be at one million subscribers before long!!!! That is absolutely a huge accomplishment, and even at a few hundred thousand subscribers is huge but your seriously the best channel on youtube!
I used one a long time ago but with rules and stuff just because too much of a pain so didn’t anymore . I might bring it back one day when I stop the daily videos tgob
I am from a small village near Ottawa, Ontario Canada. It's called Ashton. When I was 10yrs old in 1983 we drove to Florida, my 2nd trip there. We drove through an Ashton Florida...smaller than my Ashton. I wonder sometimes if it still exists. Going to go give it a Google.

Fort Ogden/Arcadia is my home town... I'm up in GA now but visit family there all the time
Agree

Adam this backroads style of exploration is a great part of your channel. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoyed the back roads small town vibes thanks for bringing us along.
The building at 32:04 was not a jail but rather the Green Hotel that was built in 1925. Then later on it served as a train station. Now it is just basically abandoned which is sad.
I remember it being like a juvenile detention center at one point. Not for very long though.
@@FireLeyNyx Ok but originally it was built as a hotel. I knew from looking at it when I saw it in the past when driving through Bowling Green and looking it up to verify. There is another hotel in Dunedin called the Fenway that is built with the same architectural style just much larger.
@@mustangcindy1303 yes it was and it still looks so cool. When we were driving down south all the time when I was a kid I always loved that building.
That building was a juvenile detention for awhile.
i love , love , love the back roads videos, its like going to a place or places that time forgot sometimes , and trying picture what things might of been ♥️😊👍

LOVE these backroads trips! I moved back to FL after being gone 40 years. THESE places are the FL I remember from the 60's & 70's. THEY feel like home. WHAT in the world happened to this place?
Time.
Love it. I grew up in central FL back in the 50's and 60's.
Adam don’t forget your 192 series! Been looking forward to that stretch beyond Kissimmee. Thanks!
Worst Arnold ever? You mean BEST Arnold ever! You make me laugh every time! 😅
I Crack up every time he does Abraham Lincoln 😂
Thanks dude

Wonderful Walking and talking

Enjoy these videos very much. All for you

Thank you for these videos! Really love how you pay attention to these little towns that otherwise would be unknown to many.
Awesome Adam so off the beaten path.....thanks for showing many post offices I work for the USPS right in my wheelhouse
That was excellent. Holy crap, that crow scared the bejesus out of me. And then a vulture ! Love these backroads explorations. Your curiosity and interest make you an excellent travel guide. And Ahnuld would like your impression
Thank you Adam for all your videos. These are my favorites. The back roads of America.
Loved the carved statues! They were very cool to see.
We did some of that, Arcadia to be exact. Peace River Outfitters would be why we would go back. Drop you off and canoe/kayak back to base. Lake Wales with Bock Tower, Spook Hill if cruising locally. Mount Dora. I'm missing something but we made it to Ceder Key then down the West Coast. We will do it again, and thanks always for you blog!
Thank you for a great tour around your state.
Love those Old Towns......
I’ve followed your page for a minute now and ironically on this one, you started this video in front of an old house I drive past most days of the week 😂
Love the attention to details. Really enjoyed this video.
I absolutely love your small town walk and talks!!!! Keep them coming please and thank you!!!!!!❤

The 1998 movie of Great Expectations was filmed there at the Ringing Mansion too!
Frostproof Florida is an undiscovered gem surrounded by 2 beautiful lakes and a quaint downtown.The downtown could use a brewpub and some public art.The town is kind of a diamond in the rough.Great for someone especially retirees looking for a slower,more affordable lifestyle.
You know its gonna be a good vlog when it starts off with impressive wood.
More rural Florida Woo! Very Cool!
This is a awesome video ,, real life small town living. One day these places will be gone . I lived in ft. Lauderdale for 8 years back then it wasn't as busy as today . It crazy. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA....
I think these are my favorite videos!
Watching you drive through Winter Haven made me think about Cypress Gardens. Have you been there recently? I live in the UK but use to love Cypress Gardens, not been there since 2006.

Glad you enjoyed Punta Gorda. That’s my hometown and where I currently live now.
Well now, you missed so much in Zolfo Springs.

I absolutely love this type of video, Adam... sooo enjoyable, no matter your means of transport. THANK YOU.👏🏻😁👏🏻👏🏻

Adam! Next time you are up in North Carolina, you ought to check out Washington, NC! Beautiful historic small town, with a waterfront. NC’s first capital Bath isn’t far away too. Bath is also where Blackbeard the pirate resided. Get you a Bill’s hot dog while you’re in Washington. You’ll love it!
Love these old town vids.
7:03 That brick school is amazing. I'd live in it. And arcadia is super cool with it's old mains street buildings.
I would like to live in an old school or maybe an old post office, always thought it would be cool.
That would be so great. Or an old church.@@PammyK-m9b
That old school in Fort Ogden was converted into a home a someone i worked with at the Prison out on Hwy 70 and a few years ago the people who bought it from that guy built the big shop next to it and my oldest son worked there. That was Auto Mafia Racing.
Oh wow that's cool it's a home now.@@krislane7549
Thanks for the drive around! Seeing the Road Atlas brought me back in time 😎
Arcadia was cool , nice backroads trip !
Thank you Adam... Cool stuff buddy. We love watching this stuff.
Really enjoyed this one, Adam! The Live Oak at Zolfo Springs is amazing. The plant growing on it is called Dog Tail Cactus, native to Mexico and Central America. Love these "Sunday drive" type videos. Reminds me of when my Dad would take us on similar outings way back when!
Mr Adam the woo
I admire you man you're living my dream ✨️
Always wanted to live like this just doing what I like enjoy myself traveling west to east south to north.
But now I have a family and way too many bills to pay 😅
I guess I have to wait until retirement 😢
Anywho
Keep doing whatever you like we enjoy all your videos like road trips, theme parks, etc
Adam I so enjoy this nice drive video and seeing small little towns and forgotten main streets. Oh PS BTW now that you have a homestead will you please plant some Petunias at your house.

🤘
hey adam that place you seen in bowling Green it was at one time place was hotel then it was a crazy house too I just thought tell you that plus I glad you showed my home town of wauchula too love see it again.cause that where I was born at.
My old stomping grounds... Florida. Two things I'm always looking for when visiting towns; bookstores and collectibles.
I thoroughly enjoy the small town videos
Fort Meade, with its super wide main drag, reminds me of towns in Hollywood movies, like "To Wong Foo, thanks for everything! Love, Julie Newmar", and "Varsity Blues", "Children of the Corn" (he who walks between the rows...), and "Zombieland".

And the friendly lady and her pooch in Homeland FL are right: real Florida! Where we goin' next, Boss? ↕️↔️↖️↙️⬅️⬇️
When I see a crow cawing, I always think of the opening of The Stand '94 series.
Awesome video as usual. Are those... 🤣 love that use the atlas to show us your plans. Thanks, Adam, for sharing your life!
Love the backroads, especially these days😎
‘MINT’ Green I believe was the color👍
This is why I love Florida. Thanks for bringing us this.
Truck stops are becoming more common with brands that have been just gas. Quick Trip has recently moved into the Jackson Mississippi area with 5 locations. Most being truck friendly.
hi again Adam , yet another cool interesting Vlog , well done and thank you 😊
Classic Woo, great to see. Such a shame so many empty businesses and ruins in the centre of towns. Interesting to see non tourist Florida.
Hi adam the woo i like your channel and vlogs keep up the good work shell u 😊👍
History of nearby cities Apopka , Casselberry , Longwood , Sanford , Christmas , Zellwood , Winter park , Bithilo
Really enjoy those videos of old Fla.
"Arcadia historic district comprises"... not "compromises"... lol
Thanx for the video.. come back to see us when you can stay longer and highlight more... much to do and see in good ole Arcadia !!!
You were right down the Road from us. Hope you had a Nice Time Thanks for coming to our Small Town.
The the "old Florida" episodes, Adam.
That was fun, thanks.
I still use physical maps and trip tics every once in a while. Im glad im not alone in doing that! Great video as ususl Adam!
Hey I love your videos! I live in a small town just 2 hours away from you. Down south you should visit Okeechobee. If your ever come, we could take you out on Lake Okeechobee!
The whole thing where sculptors sculpt completely eludes me. I could never do what they do.
Outside my door in northern Canada it's 9 F , snow and ice . These back road FL tours remind me spring and summer will come again .
Lot more interesting than Disney.. thanks
A beautiful array of roadside goodness. We have driven Hwy 17 a few times going from Clermont to Cape Coral. My family spent several Memorial Day weekends at Peace River KOA in Arcadia when I was kid.
compelling Wooandventure. the best as usual.
Have you ever done a full tour of A1A? That would be a cool series of videos
The crow startled you. Ehh hitchkok would be proud😄
Nice video Adam !!!!
Heck yeah kicking it oldschool
My neck of the woods we pass by all these towns on way north to Sarasota from South Fort Myers..never got off the interstate to investigate, this is cool 😎
Hey Adam have you ever thought about buying a good drone to use in some of your videos? I think it would be pretty cool on select videos. Sorry if you already have one and I missed it.

He had one for years. He said to much regulations to fly one.
@james123423 Alrighty, I can imagine..thanks for answering my question without grilling me bro!
I used one a long time ago but with rules and stuff just because too much of a pain so didn’t anymore . I might bring it back one day when I stop the daily videos tgob
I've always like the small towns cool
Definitely adding the town of Arcadia to my Florida trip looks very interesting
The movie The End remind me of that Bell Tower building with the fence
Aahh the sirens must be getting close to home 😊
I am from a small village near Ottawa, Ontario Canada. It's called Ashton. When I was 10yrs old in 1983 we drove to Florida, my 2nd trip there. We drove through an Ashton Florida...smaller than my Ashton. I wonder sometimes if it still exists. Going to go give it a Google.
The Backroads videos are very relaxing.
That tree reminds me of Ernest Scared Stupid tree.
Well done Woo...glad your back into the baseball scene. Go Royals!
I love Arcadia ❤️
That’s a great drive you took. Lots of super spots!
Good video…
Just an FYI….water skiing was invented in Lake City, Minnesota in 1922….by a gentleman named Ralph Samuelson.
