Road trip in a ‘57 Chevy. This is perfect to me. Exploring backroads and small towns. These types of videos are always hard to title. Exploring forgotten towns, yep. Exploring small towns, yep.

What a beautiful road trip. Thanks for taking us along. You absolutely made my day with the Other Robert, can't wait to see those videos. I love seeing you 2 together again.😁😂😁❤
What a great car and great year!!! I was born in 1957. My Dad had a ‘57. It was black bottom and white top with red interior. She was a beauty!!! Wish we still had her!!! Thanks for the road trip. Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos. You and Other Robert make a great pair. Love y’all. A fan from Mississippi!!!
This is outstanding. You, the '57 in your element. Beautiful weather and great shots. What a great old town. That Gulf station was so cool and with your '57 in the shot, awesome. This is happiness to me, road, freedom, awesome car, old town, sight seeing, beautiful weather and the very best guide and company. It just does not get better!! Enjoyed this so, so much. This made my week and more. 😊👍👍❣️❣️
Fresh dirt and peanut fields, great memory nudge. Mine is: Fresh dirt and Cotton Fields, the scent of my youth, when Cotton was prevalent here. Now they grow more Corn here, for ethanol, for gasoline. I 'm also a car/truck enthusiast, but know little about under the hood. I'm crazy about Studebaker's, trucks, 1957-58 era. ... and, the 1930"s is my favorite decade of Automotive Body Designs, they were years ahead of the curve. Old Dairy Bar's, soft ice cream cones and burgers-n-fry's, another scent that inspires youth. Great video!
Fascinating video, thank you. As an Englishman living in central London all my adult life (I’ve never been to the U.S.) rural Georgia seems very different indeed & I’d like to visit it one day. You’re an excellent guide, sir.
Beautiful scenery, beautiful country nice to see the other Mr Robert thank you for taking me along with your road trip.😊 From an old grandma and great Grandma from Canada.
Watching videos on the big cities across America you vidoe is great comparred to the urban blight anf blocks and blocks of decaying homes. Gary ,Indiana is a good example. Love the small villages and towns.
Robert I enjoy all your videos! The fires, the farm, and your cars. I had a 51 ford in 1962, I loved it!, Ive looked for one for a long time. My Dear wife Lucy passed away in 2021 so you and all you do is a great joy for me. Keep it up and may God continue to Bless you my friend. Oh BTW I live in Sylacauga Al. James Moore
You guys make a great pair-love the '57 Chevy-I'm a '57 model myself' and I'm getting a little rough on the outside, too-but I still run pretty good-love the music, too!
Your car fits so perfectly with all those old villages. Back in the 50 s our Sunday afternoon entertainment was piling in the car and driving to some of the old villages in central New York where we lived. We would find a country store and buy some mustard and ring bologna and ritz crackers and a rare bottle of soda for each of us and stop along side the road and have a picnic . With five siblings it was an inexpensive way to have a family outing and we loved it.Donna/mIchigan
I love this video! It's beautiful! And it feels like I am in the car with you. I have been to Brooklyn, Georgia and shot a story there for Brian Sharp for his 'Brian's Backroads' travel series for WRBL TV-3. We shot a story on Florida's Folk-Art Gallery. We interviewed Florida, and maybe her husband. He was there. The Gallery was in operation at the time. I shot stories in Richland, on that very block the Distillery is on. I photographed Weston years ago. I just LOVE The Other Robert's 'humble abode'! I want to know where you found lunch!
I enjoyed this road trip very much Robert .It's nice seeing the little towns hamlets etc ,such beautiful scenery .It's great getting away from the bustling cities and seeing the guiet simple life out in the rural areas .Thanks again Robert for taking us along ,it made my day 👍
I love your old Chevy and that you took us on your ride around southern Georgia! I kept waiting for you to go through Statenville , Georgia snd old small town where my biological father was from and lived , I never met him but slats wanted to but my mother wouldn’t ever allow it , my father died and us buried in a small graveyard in Statenville ! I don’t know anybody my fathers family and woukdnt know how to find such a small graveyard , but I’d love to beable to go there and visit his grave someday ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻
Come on over to Brantley County in South East Georgia lots of small towns here up until about 10 years ago we only had 1 traffic light in the whole County.
Had Fun On Your Run. I Have Seen a Lot Of Small Town's Go Down The Hole Over Time. Not Just That But a Lot Of Good Size And Big Town's Go Ka-put. I Live By a Little Town That Went Ka-put Weston Al. Had Fun Let's Do Some More One Day.
What beautiful places and the scenery is amazing. I love to explore. But when you do it, I can't help myself and want to stop at all yard sales ,fleamarkets , and antique shops .Thank you for taking us on this journey. Love it all .Take care.
Robert. I bet that wood rat is excited also. His first road trip too. And I can't believe you didn't pick up a pecan log at that place. There used to be a place called Stucky's. They had those. So good.
As the song goes: Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end.......blessings from Michigan. Confederate stones should still be available for anyone. Have already been in touch with Merritt Pecans and told them you recommended. Hope they ship up here.
Hi robert thanks for the tour its great seeing the old gas station given a new life an small towns an backroads are my pick over big cities . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Had a 1955 Chevy growing up near Milwaukee Wis. in 1968. Had 235,000 miles on it when I sold it for $100 and it had as much rust as yours. Burned oil like mad
Great video Robert. I looks like you were down close to Parrott Ga. I live in Albany Ga, so the scenery was quite familiar. I have driven that highway many times going to Columbus Ga.
Georgia is really pretty. We have some good friends who still own their family farm in Macon. The original family who owned the farm back in the early 1800's are buried there and our friend's veteran spouse is buried on the farm for whom I presided over her Celebration of Life. Her family bought the farm the farm in 1835 and have farmed it actively since then and still farm it. The original farmhouse is still there and being lived in today.
Great video...esp love the old gas station you shot...brings back good memories...so good to see the other Robert again...missed him...keep up the great work...love that old car...would like to see a nice coat of paint on it someday...even if its not bright n shiny...great old home tour...so pretty...love the smell of fresh turned earth...nothing like it...
Years ago, Cusseta was the biggest speed trap around. My two uncles who lived in Omaha used to take great delight in speeding through there and outrunning the police. That was after one of them, and I won't say any names, had stopped at a friend's house and bought some moonshine. One uncle had a 54 Chevy, and the other had a 53 Mercury that they had made some "slight" modification to the engines. That was before the four lane was built, and it was pretty much a straight shot through town. Good Times!!!!!
That’s right! Part of the reason I never liked Cusseta is I swear I got stopped going through there anytime I did… never got a ticket for anything tho.
I think, Robert. we're being pranked. But, what fun going cruising with you in the 57 Chevy! I think having you two Roberts in the Chevy would be much like the old Route 66 tv show, only funnier. Your wanderings today reminded me of cruising Route 66 in Missouri, admiring the old towns and the places my husband's family came from.
I just made a two week trip across southern America on back roads. (Thanks for the additional footage.) No major cities. On my way to Warm Springs, lo and behold, I drive through Waverly Hall. I immediately saw those historic abandoned downtown buildings you worked on. I passed a road that in my mind looked like one the Byrd Farm might reside on. I guessed right. Looked like you were there, but I didn’t stop, thinking you might put me to work. Beautiful spring weather, lovely scenery across the South, but lots of rural poverty especially Mississippi and ’Bama. Actually, as a painting contractor that has restored many historic homes, I might have volunteered to paint your place. That’s why I kept driving, lol. Btw, anyone looking for work, move to Texas, it’s exploding with expansion. The corridor from Dallas to San Antonio is solid new development. Unbelievable amount of California transplants in Texas (and Tennessee ) Back in Wisconsin now, 6” of fresh wet snow. Should have traveled another week.
Loved my '57 Chevy back in the day ... drove it from Central Oklahoma to Northwestern Wyoming in the fall of '64 ... lived there for 6 months and came back to Oklahoma as soon as enough snow cleared to get through Wind River Pass!!! 44 degrees below zero was too much for this gal!
We have a 52 Chevy 5 window truck we like to cruise small towns in. Something about an old car in an old town that makes you feel good. Love the car. Glad she is moving again.
Hello Robert I really enjoy that road trip thank you for taking us along hope to see some more road trips in the near future until next time stay safe take care love from upstate New York
Definitely enjoyed this video, Robert. I remember driving around like this with my dad when I was a kid. I appreciate it more now that I'm older. Didn't think you were going to make that stop sign. Good thing you fixed those breaks 😂.
13:06 best part of the video. We still love our Dixie flags here in Georgia! Our State flag is still an almost exact replica of the First National Flag of the Confederacy.
Great car! I'm building a 47 Plymouth special deluxe four door as a road trip car. I put a 79 firebird subframe in it. Got all new interior in it. My big snag is the wing windows
At around 5:00 you said something about when you see a clump of trees in a farmer's field, it could be a cemetery or homesite. In Warren County, NJ there's a clump of trees in a farmer's field that hides the ruins of an old church, built 1812, if memory serves. Right here in this county there is a small unincorporated town called Richland. There's a private prep school there on a back road, which helps the town keep going I guess. It also has a nice big general store, which I have yet to visit. Speaking of that Weston post office, in a small town near here their post office is a room in a house, accessed from the outside of course. After all these years I have never been inside though. Yep, I enjoyed that ride. Cool stuff. Thanks.
Extremely enjoyable road trip. It was a beautiful day for a drive. Nice to see OR,just never know where he'll be. I hope you were able to get something to eat,you didn't say. Of course you probably did OR is always hungry 😄bless you both.
Very cool. Thnx for taking us along. Looking forward to the new posts with you & Robert 2 in Robert Twoville .. 😉 That's not Whoville. That's restored Gulf station is amazing. I could just picture a couple elders sitting on that bench outside of Rexall Drugs bumping gums. Only thing missing was the "bell" hose a car would roll over when pulling in to gas up. It would sound a couple of dings inside to alert the gas attendant he has a customer, back when full service was around. That first lil town .. oops I forgot the name already .. one that ran parallel to the highway on an old dirt rd & had the cheap gas signs .. 1.91 I think u said .. looked like the sign on the left listed gas for 1.11 too. Just wow. Stuckeys is also a great place for anything pecans. Once u get started going around to rural areas regularly .. I may have some ideas for u if it open to them and/or u tend to come north west & east. Been tryna get Brian to go to one particular place for a while now but he hasn't yet. He doesn't make it north too often. This place is NW of ATL. My Daddy & I accidentally found it on a long Wknd trip to see the Blue Angels in Rom GA. Anyway let me know if & when u r interested. Take good care Robbie 😊☮️🙋🏼♀️
A wonderful road trip, love the old GA history. Anxious to see the filming from you and ORobert. Would love to see some old plantations too. Why didn't Baloo get to go along for the ride?
Robert, I love this video, it is one of the type that got me to your channel some time ago. I had a Gulf card for a number of years, and I remember some of those old abandoned or barely operating gas stations. I remember visiting Raleigh, N.C. back in the seventies for a senior track and field meet and I asked the fellow who put it on, how those two pump stations around the area managed to survive. He smiled and said, "those are shine outlets."." What's shine," I asked. "You know, Moonshine", he said. "Could I get some", I asked. "No", was his reply and I didn't ask anymore about them. Your car really fits in there:) Cheers, Rik Spector
You should come to portal GA (South East) right outside of Statesboro. You'd love all our old buildings and churches. You are the reason I do my cemetery obsessions on TikTok
My father is from Sycamore Ga, its one of the little towns in South Georgia that when I 75 was built and Hwy 41 no longer had the traffic it just about dried up
I have a 1996 Caprice B4U that I am getting ready to tour the U.S. for a month or so. It has the LT1 350 which is as dependable as the LS. So far I have 153k miles and it runs great. Old Chevy's never Die :-)
@@cynthiacronin2794 Hi Cynthia! Wow, this is getting close! My birthday is in February, too, February 7th. Is yours by any chance on the 7th? If it is, it's you, me, and Charles Dickens born on that day.
@@galaxy98765 hi Gwen! February 20th for me. Small world..both with Mama at the same time and babies. If you're in Missouri like me that would be almost unbelievable.😂😅
Merritt's Pecans used to have a log cabin to the left of the gas pumps. It was full of old antique signs and tools. Now it looks like they have placed the real antique signs on and around the building and torn the cabin down and replaced it with a framed storage area. I bet that it is still full. Try the delicious pecans that are dipped in butter and chocolate. Merritt's has a website. Thanks for the ride.
My old stomping grounds. Go a little farther west and south, towns now completely disappeared or on the verge - Chickasawhatchee, Herod, Doverel. Lord, I miss the smell of red clay fields.
This is a little off subject... Where did you get your phone mount? I'm referring to the suction mount & phone clip. Keep up the exploring, they are well done!
Road trip in a ‘57 Chevy. This is perfect to me. Exploring backroads and small towns. These types of videos are always hard to title. Exploring forgotten towns, yep. Exploring small towns, yep. Cemetery stop, yep. So much to narrow it down in a title. Oh yeah and The Other Robert

Love this video! As a Senior citizen, the old restored gas station was nice to see. I miss the days of having gas station attendants 😅
🎶 "Reunited and it feels so goooood!" 🎶 So goooood seeing the Roberts back together again!😄
What a beautiful road trip. Thanks for taking us along.

That is my favorite color combination for the 57 Chevy.

You two are so funny! I love it….,😅
Beautiful scenery, beautiful country nice to see the other Mr Robert thank you for taking me along with your road trip.😊 From an old grandma and great Grandma from Canada.
It’s great to see the two Roberts together. Thanks for the road trip!😊❤
I just love road trips, even better when ya find old towns. loved this!
So AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It always amazes me that these places still exist. I’m certainly glad they do! Looking forward to more of these videos. 😎🇺🇸
Love you too together. Great video. Thanks for taking us along.
Really loving your choice of music too 🎸🎶🎤
I have a 55 Chevy I love the old cars!
Watching videos on the big cities across America you vidoe is great comparred to the urban blight anf blocks and blocks of decaying homes. Gary ,Indiana is a good example. Love the small villages and towns.
Robert I enjoy all your videos! The fires, the farm, and your cars. I had a 51 ford in 1962, I loved it!, Ive looked for one for a long time. My Dear wife Lucy passed away in 2021 so you and all you do is a great joy for me. Keep it up and may God continue to Bless you my friend. Oh BTW I live in Sylacauga Al. James Moore
What fun, lets do this again!!!! Hi to the other Mr Robert.
May the Lord bless and protect you and bringing out the past history
MAN, YOUR CAR FITS RIGHT INTO THAT CLASSIC PICTURE.
I enjoy you and the other Roberts banter.
Love seeing these old towns and buildings.
Hey, love your video. I’m from Richland Ga… I was a teen in the 70’s… it was a hopping town back in the day..
You guys make a great pair-love the '57 Chevy-I'm a '57 model myself' and I'm getting a little rough on the outside, too-but I still run pretty good-love the music, too!
Thats so sweet! Robert is taking his Rodents out for a drive! 🐀🐭😉btw that Gulf Gas Station ⛽ restoration with the old Chevy looked epic!
Didn’t it?!?
Lololol
Your car fits so perfectly with all those old villages. Back in the 50 s our Sunday afternoon entertainment was piling in the car and driving to some of the old villages in central New York where we lived. We would find a country store and buy some mustard and ring bologna and ritz crackers and a rare bottle of soda for each of us and stop along side the road and have a picnic . With five siblings it was an inexpensive way to have a family outing and we loved it.Donna/mIchigan

From an out of towner, very enjoyable
I love your old Chevy and that you took us on your ride around southern Georgia!

I don’t know anybody my fathers family and woukdnt know how to find such a small graveyard , but I’d love to beable to go there and visit his grave someday ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻
Back in high school I made road trips like that in my 1948 plymouth. Same areas and I still have the plymouth.
Come on over to Brantley County in South East Georgia lots of small towns here up until about 10 years ago we only had 1 traffic light in the whole County.

Thanks for the trip Rob, the best shot for me was the old Chevy outside the renovated gas station.
It looked absolutely fantastic. 👍
My dad was from Whigham GA. Another small dying town ♥️
I was 3 years old when this Chevy was originally built .. how time flies. The car is absolutely lovely.
Hi robert thanks for the tour its great seeing the old gas station given a new life an small towns an backroads are my pick over big cities . Cheers mate🇦🇺

Some white lithium grease would quiet those door hinges (and help the latches too).

Poulan too. I think I spelled it right
@@billkea7224 Richland still is a speed trap.
A road trip with Robert from my recliner. Perfect ❣️
😊 fresh country Air
Love it !
Its nice to get out once in a while thanks for taking us with
Central California watching
This is what I have been talking about. The two Roberts together.

What a great adventure!! All those back roads! I wondered if we were ever going to see bitumen again!! Good to see you both again!

Hey there buddy. Nothing better than a vintage car road trip. Regards from Ody Slim
I grew up in several REALLY small towns in North Dakota, & this trip was very nostalgic for me.
Extremely enjoyable road trip. It was a beautiful day for a drive. Nice to see OR,just never know where he'll be. I hope you were able to get something to eat,you didn't say. Of course you probably did OR is always hungry 😄bless you both.

He doesn't make it north too often. This place is NW of ATL. My Daddy & I accidentally found it on a long Wknd trip to see the Blue Angels in Rom GA. Anyway let me know if & when u r interested. Take good care Robbie 😊☮️🙋🏼♀️
A wonderful road trip, love the old GA history. Anxious to see the filming from you and ORobert. Would love to see some old plantations too. Why didn't Baloo get to go along for the ride?
Great video of a great adventure! Thank you!!!
Robert,
I love this video, it is one of the type that got me to your channel some time ago.
I had a Gulf card for a number of years, and I remember some of those old abandoned or barely
operating gas stations.
I remember visiting Raleigh, N.C. back in the seventies for a senior track and field meet and I
asked the fellow who put it on, how those two pump stations around the area managed to survive.
He smiled and said, "those are shine outlets."." What's shine," I asked.
"You know, Moonshine", he said.
"Could I get some", I asked.
"No", was his reply and I didn't ask anymore about them.
Your car really fits in there:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Thanks and that’s great 😅
Robert, you should take the folks on a tour of Providence Canyon one day!
You should come to portal GA (South East) right outside of Statesboro. You'd love all our old buildings and churches. You are the reason I do my cemetery obsessions on TikTok
What’s the TikTok name

Cool old buildings !! Sad that most are empty . I see some signs of life, so at least they aren't ghost towns.
A brief study I did years ago is affirmed by your words. The highways that we built to connect us have also separated us.
Yes
My father is from Sycamore Ga, its one of the little towns in South Georgia that when I 75 was built and Hwy 41 no longer had the traffic it just about dried up
I have a 1996 Caprice B4U that I am getting ready to tour the U.S. for a month or so. It has the LT1 350 which is as
dependable as the LS. So far I have 153k miles and it runs great. Old Chevy's never Die :-)
That’s awesome
I was five years old in 1957. So I was on the earth when this car was new.🤪
Born in 1952? Me, too!
@@galaxy98765 yes February.😀
@@cynthiacronin2794 Hi Cynthia! Wow, this is getting close! My birthday is in February, too, February 7th. Is yours by any chance on the 7th? If it is, it's you, me, and Charles Dickens born on that day.
@@galaxy98765 hi Gwen! February 20th for me. Small world..both with Mama at the same time and babies. If you're in Missouri like me that would be almost unbelievable.😂😅
You should install that sound deadening material throughout the interior plus the ceiling.It would probably quiet down all the noise.
This is why i love N Florida and South Georgia. Them old town vibes
The old towns are cool. Route 66 is big in Missouri. The old scenery and sites are great.
Love It!!. Wonder if you could get permission to tour the inside of the Gulf station!😎
When I was a kid we called it 4/55 air conditioning. Roll all four windows down and go 55mph.
What a neat little cemetery!
Merritt's Pecans used to have a log cabin to the left of the gas pumps. It was full of old antique signs and tools. Now it looks like they have placed the real antique signs on and around the building and torn the cabin down and replaced it with a framed storage area. I bet that it is still full. Try the delicious pecans that are dipped in butter and chocolate. Merritt's has a website. Thanks for the ride.
We just sold our farm right down the road from Merritt. Had it for 25 years. Miss it. From FL
Visit 57 small towns in Georgia !
👍👍👍👍👍
My old stomping grounds. Go a little farther west and south, towns now completely disappeared or on the verge - Chickasawhatchee, Herod, Doverel. Lord, I miss the smell of red clay fields.
This is a little off subject... Where did you get your phone mount? I'm referring to the suction mount & phone clip.
Keep up the exploring, they are well done!
Amazon I think
Nice ride and ride around
There’s cotton fields on my channel here in south GA. You got yourself a Subscriber Brotha 💯🇺🇸🗽
Can't believe you didn't make it to Parrot
