This is currently the thing I look forward to watching most on TH-cam. Historically informative, funny and a great example of humanity in Jacob the Carpetbagger. Thanks so much for all the joy you have given to your fans on your various travels
So beautiful, that aironautics museum. I happen to live in the centre of marketgarden country, hell's highway, a bridge too far. It's very nice to see that Georgia museum, which is focused both on America, where many of the boys came from, as well as on the world war 2 equipment. Whereas museums in the Netherlands locally usually focus on the German occupation, the war and liberation itself. Also liked that wedding dress made out of parachute material, and can confirm people did actually craft those as well as curtains and many other things from the parachutes, as there was hardly any material available during the war. A neighbour of us, a airoplane mechanic, is part of a voluntary group that regularly assists in searching and recovering planes that were shot down and still are found in local rivers and swamps. This all just to say that we, as a foreign immediate post-war generation, still remember and are actually confronted with the history of Marketgarden. Thanks and appreciation to all the Americans and Canadians (and Poles) that helped in freeing Belgium and the Netherlands before being halted at Arnhem bridge. And thanks to you Jacob for all the other details you showed us while travelling through Georgia.
In 2003 the Junior League of Albany had a fundraising campaign to build the Turtle Grove Play Park at River Front Park. They sold the turtle statues to businesses that then had them painted and put on display around town.
I remember your video on Habitat for Humanity and this serves to show how valuable your presentations are....similar to Dan Bell’s Dead Mall Series, you are documenting many sites that will probably disappear down the road, sort of speak. These videos become archive treasures over time and so your adventures are more important than those who spend their days wallowing around at Disneyland....
The tiger emblem is for the flying tigers, an American volunteer air corps group that fought the Japanese in China in the early 1940's until it was incorporated into the US air corps after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
I know a man that rode a Brahma bull around our town. He had a saddle on it. The saddle had to have a bigger and longer belly strap put on. He rode it just like a horse.
My sister was born in Griffin GA. I was born in Durango Colorado then next two in Athens GA and oldest in Alaska before it became a state and was just a territory.
Hello from Dahlonega Ga. My kids love that Aviation Museum lots of history. I've seen the hot sauce my Grandpa was in World War II and I inherited his army box and they was a bottle of hot sauce in it and an unopened pack of Camel cigarettes LOL. Love the videos thank you ❤
American Pickers would probably be a bluegrass band tribute. I lived in a small country town in Michigan that had a music store called Pick It, U S A, n musicians would hang out in there and "pick" bluegrass music all the time amidst selling the instruments that you use s "pick" to play, guitars, mandolin, dobroe, fiddle, banjo, steel guitar, zither, lap organs. Hence the moniker picking.
Fun and interesting vlog here. You can actually 🎤 sing. Pretty good voice, Mr. Carpetbagger. Although it was funny how you sang and placed your head within the “Drummer Boy” wooden cut-outs, your voice is good! Thanks for sharing with us!
Hi Jacob awesome vlog at Dixie highway. Sorry I missed your livestream. I still have a lot of paperwork to after my father passed away. Wish you the very best. Lots of good trips and stay safe 👍🏻🍀
My Home Town Woohoo. I think you drove pass my Job lol!!! Warner Robins Air Force Base. Jackson and Forsyth are small town that have been around forever.. Good ole Georgia!!! I never knew Dixie Hwy was this close to me!!
HEY JACOB, THE AIR FORCE MUESUM WAS GREAT! ALSO, THE TANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD REMINDED ME OF THE DANVILLE, VA MILITARY TANK MUESUM! AMAZING COLLECTION OF TANKS AND ARTILLERY, A DEFINITE MUST SEE!
Wyatt Earp's friend Doc Holliday was born in a small town just north of Griffin Ga. The sign Doc's Dentistry is very close to where Doc Holliday had his dental office. He spent his younger years between the Griffin area and Valdosta Ga. Once he graduated from dental school he moved back to Griffin to practice.
Next time you come through Dayton OH you should stop in to the National Museum of the US Air Force. It's a doozy and a day long venture for sure, lots to see.
Jacob..You are doing a outstanding work on these road trips....so much better than the other guy who wants to drink coffee and talk about Disney on every blog,,,
Awl-benny GA! Al bahney is in New York Finally in my hometown and didn't ask for the pronunciation 🤣 Jimmie Hotdogs is right close to the the statue best chili dogs in the country!!
That was a very interesting aviation museum. My aunt was a W.A.S.P.. There is a movie about the Memphis Belle . Very moving movie. As always the roadside signs etc are so cool. Too bad so many things are closed but it is to be expected. You sure hit some wet weather there. The Ray Charles statue is wonderful but the rotation questionable. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
The plane with the mouth was a P-40 Warhawk flown by the Flying Tigers. Robert Scott was a pilot with the Flying Tigers, his story ( God is my co-pilot ) tells his life story and how he worked to be a Flying Tiger.
Didn't have a chance to comment yesterday but amazingly I've also traveled to many of the places in this video. The reason for the Cowboy Dentist in the window in Griffin, GA is because that's the home town of Doc Holliday. The POW Museum is a must visit for you one day when it reopens. If you've never been to the outside portion of the location, the actual location of Andersonville Stockade and the National Cemetary, it's a chilling place to visit and learn how many men died from disease and exposure living basically outdoors in a huge field. The Andersonville Village "Drummer Boy" museum is also interesting but as you've seen it has a definite pro-CSA slant in some places. Americus also has a haunted hotel, The Winston, which I've stayed at while I was there. And I could have had a great time identifying the planes, unit patches and art, and nose art in the Aviation museum. At the airport in Albany there's also a small display about how British pilots came to the US to Albany to use that field as a training location before going back to England to battle the German blitz.
If you don't mind me asking, could you hear the recurring mechanical squeaking from there? Sorry, I just had the mental image of someone trying to sleep with that going on outside... xD
Slight correction. Senoia is the Walking Dead town. Anyway, new subscriber here and I enjoy the heck out of your videos! If you ever go through North Alabama, check out Fort Payne and Scottsboro (especially the Unclaimed Baggage store in Scottsboro), unless, of course, you’ve already been there and maybe I haven’t seen those videos yet.
I know cows have sorta been ridden throughout human history. I do remember a semi recent story about someone riding a cow and jumping them like a show horse as it was rescued and raised at a stable that specialized in teaching show jumping. It doesn’t jump as high as the show horses as its not built for that, but it loves to do it as it thinks its a horse sort of.
Every time you smack your camera into the display glass I laugh way too hard lol Absolutely loved the piano walkway!
I too, enjoy the camera smacking! Klunk
I love it too. It's like a magnet with that quick click on every window.
I make an audible smack sound every time.
Broke my heart you didn't stop at the varsity.
Loved The Little Drummer Boy song!
The "Little Drummer Boy" was great!!! Very creative!!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!!

HOLY CRAP DUDE my dad was stationed at Robbins AFB in the late 90s we went to that museum EVERY WEEKEND thank you for filming this!!!!
Hi Jacob, I'm shielding at the moment so it's great to be in the back of your car, going to amazing places, you are a top bloke
Do you know how creepy that sounds keep safe
@@blakeboulton5188 perhaps I'm a stalker lol 😁
Carpetbagger you should have went to the Allman Brothers museum in Macon Georgia
Opposite cities...
Walking Dead - Senoia
Stranger Things - Jackson
Wish he went to the walking dead filming site.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'VE GOT RAY'S STATUE ON A ROTISSERIE!!!
It was the squeak that got me. That ceaselessly repeating squeak... xD
More like a "lazy susan"
I went to Georgia once. Stayed in Savannah and it was beautiful.

Senoia is where the Walking dead is filmed. Jackson is Stranger things
I was going to comment same thing he had it backwards.

Man right down the road from me ! I know you passed through meigs Georgia ! Hometown 😊
We love you Jacob. You got a new camera with a much better mic. You'll have to change your recording style now because it's picking up *everything*.
I enjoy you and your videos so much. Thank you for doing what you do so well!

Great post. Love when you sang the little drummer boy song. That was awesome. Thank you.
Doc Holliday was from
Griffin Ga. Hence, the Doc the Dentist window display.

I enjoyed the air force museum and the Civil War town.

My Great Great Grandfather was a Union soldier who was held at Andersonville (and survived). Would like to see the area some day.
Fun and interesting vlog here. You can actually 🎤 sing. Pretty good voice, Mr. Carpetbagger. Although it was funny how you sang and placed your head within the “Drummer Boy” wooden cut-outs, your voice is good! Thanks for sharing with us!
That’s B1-B bomber. My husband worked on all 100 of them. A great bomber. They still fly.
Went by this morning to find the post cards in Albany but either too late or the public works got them. Enjoy your videos.
As a SW Georgia native the locals pronounce Albany All benny. Next time you visit check out Jimmy's Hotdogs
Hi Jacob awesome vlog at Dixie highway. Sorry I missed your livestream. I still have a lot of paperwork to after my father passed away. Wish you the very best. Lots of good trips and stay safe 👍🏻🍀
My Home Town Woohoo. I think you drove pass my Job lol!!! Warner Robins Air Force Base. Jackson and Forsyth are small town that have been around forever.. Good ole Georgia!!! I never knew Dixie Hwy was this close to me!!
That one sturtle statue was a statue of Maryland terrapins football
You always find a way to make me smile.
HEY JACOB, THE AIR FORCE MUESUM WAS GREAT! ALSO, THE TANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD REMINDED ME OF THE DANVILLE, VA MILITARY TANK MUESUM! AMAZING COLLECTION OF TANKS AND ARTILLERY, A DEFINITE MUST SEE!

I've always wanted to go to Georgia (Allman Brothers Band Museum in Macon).

The little drummer boy half time show was hilarious
Another great vlog from the Dixie Highway. Love it!!

That halved car was a Ford EXP. Cool trip videos!👍😃
Retrace Sherman's March - 'From Atlanta to the sea'.
Your hat is awesome! If you sold that hat as your merch, I would buy it in a heartbeat!
He passed my hometown which is why we still have a lot of older homes and buildings intact
I live outside Atlanta. North East Georgia. Atlanta is a monster to drive thru.
Omg carpet bagger I live in warner robins and I had school I totally missed you I could have come to see you
That was a very interesting aviation museum. My aunt was a W.A.S.P.. There is a movie about the Memphis Belle . Very moving movie. As always the roadside signs etc are so cool. Too bad so many things are closed but it is to be expected. You sure hit some wet weather there. The Ray Charles statue is wonderful but the rotation questionable. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
The aviation museum was super cool my son would love it!
My hometown Americus Ga 😍
Little drummer boy for the win!
Love your videos!
We have those 3 crosses on a back road where I live in Ellicott City, Maryland. Cool I always thought they signified grave markers.
Really nice museum! I love all the lifelike and immersive displays!
My mom was a WAVE Officer She was in the Navy in WWII Dad was a marine. She ranked highest women could at then time Lt JG.
Please know this, carpet man. You have saved me many a times
The plane with the mouth was a P-40 Warhawk flown by the Flying Tigers. Robert Scott was a pilot with the Flying Tigers, his story ( God is my co-pilot ) tells his life story and how he worked to be a Flying Tiger.
I'm glad that hideaway was hidden; it's so much better than those clearly visible and public hideaways. :)

Otis rode a cow! ;)
Such a shame that you were not able to enter any of the antique stores and buildings in the Civil War town. It looked very interesting.
I actually stayed at the hotel right across the street from the Ray Charles Plaza a few years ago.
If you don't mind me asking, could you hear the recurring mechanical squeaking from there? Sorry, I just had the mental image of someone trying to sleep with that going on outside... xD
@@freakishuproar1168 you dont hear it at all
Welcome to Macon Ga. oh wait you skipped us 🥲. Anyway enjoy your videos. I came here from Adam the Woo
Mammy Yokum is the lil abner character...I love your shows ..especially this Dixie Hwy.
Loved the singing Jacob of Little drummer boy and the air museum was brilliant
Carpetbagger, We look forward to The LIVE chat from the Dixie Highway. Hopefully the spammers wont be around this time.

This was another great video!! I love those small towns . That museum was very interesting. Poor Ray was spinning very slowly, for sure .😉
The museum was an unexpected treat-thanks!
I know cows have sorta been ridden throughout human history.

It doesn’t jump as high as the show horses as its not built for that, but it loves to do it as it thinks its a horse sort of.
Yeah I think the only recent or modern way that somebody would ride a cow is or in a Rodeo.
But it's mostly or only Bulls. due to the genitals being the source of the bull agitation sorry for this graphic comment
Come on down to Destin Fl! We welcome you!
The statue next to the Pepsi machine was William Clark.
that was a P40 Warhawk, of the Flying Tigers
this was a great museum, check out Ave Maria Grotto Cullman AL, not far from you really cool
I’ve actually done a video there
Warner Robins, my hometown
MY HOME STATE AND NEAR ME!!!!!
Keep safe grate video as allways 😀
Senoia is worth a visit
I love watching your videos, very entertaining.
Rotating Ray!
Having lived in Georgia and known people who live there most locals call Albany All-binny.
Wait a sec, I thought that the Memphis Bell was in a museum completely intact.
Great show be safe and keep up the great work!
We visit that museum in Georgia every time we visit my grandpa
I love going to Atlanta for the conventions, I hope they have MomoCon this year🙏
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s video loving this road trip.Stay safe 🇺🇸🇬🇧😷👍
