what is going on everyone eric here from nomadic fanatic i am happy to be in the
state of michigan now that's right i made it we got sunshine on our first day in michigan
and i'm gonna be braving detroit today more on that later first of all i gotta get some good food
so for lunch today we're gonna try pete's garage here in monroe michigan and of course i'll be
editing and uploading this video with nomad internet later link in the video description
if you need some supposed to be a pretty pretty quirky place we're gonna go check out so look at
this place you can literally sit in a car and i got here early enough to sit in the trunk of one
of these cars how cool is that pete's garage tell you what that is cool man look at this
love the light and people have signed it and they got the dashboard in there
what a really cool atmosphere i love it tell you what this is something truly special i really like
the effort and quirky here at peeps garage we'll see how the food is when it gets here though i
ordered that burger i gotta tell you this is a pretty cool atmosphere at pete's garage if
you're ever near detroit we're about 30 miles southwest of the city of detroit right now oh
they got some more cars up there that i didn't see the first time that's pretty cool man all right my
curly fries and cheeseburger has arrived plain jane oh my gosh i'm gonna try this sucker out
oh my god sitting in this 54 chevy really makes this burger taste so much better
and by the way that burger is really really good one of the best burgers i've had
all month all month yeah all month and get my grub on and then we'll hit the road fan freaking
tastic food what a great stop man but i gotta go change my shirt i got
i got ketchup on my shirt and i don't want that to be there all day i really wanted to
wear this hot neon camper van kevin shirt but i'm gonna change my shirt i gotta do a little
more driving to get a little closer to detroit here i want to check into my harvest host so i
can unhook the car for the day low clearance what does that say 13 7 we should make it but
just in case i'm gonna go to the middle where it's a little higher and hold my breath
not all rvs would make that like like some fifth wheels
you gonna lose an air conditioner on that one just got off of interstate 275 north and guys
that was the worst interstate i have ever driven on in 11 years i cannot believe that that road
is still open like there there are craters that are four feet diameter craters in it
i'm gonna have to go clean up my rv when i get parked that was brutal michigan holy
oh my gosh so you're 92 degrees here in michigan it is a hot summer day it's much different farther
up north in michigan uh it's still very very hot and i've run my batteries down quite a bit so i'm
going to fire up the generator here pretty soon because the alternator in the rv doesn't doesn't
keep up with the solar and everything but this harvest host i'm going to which is coming up
here pretty soon is uh one of a kind my first time staying in a harvest host of this nature so
i see an rv and i'm guessing yeah more on this place just a minute it's called town peddler
craft and antique mall and they allow two rvs through harvest hoes and since this guy's here
i'm gonna guess that they probably want me over here that's gonna be my guess but obviously i need
to go check in and show my harvest hosts give them all my information and find out exactly
where they want me to park so i'll be back here in a little bit and maybe i can even get some
some mickey mouse collectible items awesome sauce just got all checked in they gave me a little
piece of paper that i need to put in the front of the windshield plus there's some information on
other stuff to do around detroit this is a safer area we're about 16 miles from downtown detroit
so i'll be able to unhook the car and go explore here also i do have the slide out i'm messing with
it again i'm probably pushing my my luck just a little bit but and stick around to the end of the
video i'm gonna go in the store right now with my phone and see if i can find any mickey things they
have crafts they have antiques they have thrift stuff and flea market stuff so i'll put that at
the end of the video we're gonna jump ahead unhook the car and go hang out in detroit first all right
and kitty kitties you need to be good for a little bit this is jax's favorite spot to sit
right underneath the air conditioner vent and when it's really hot i like to open this which bypasses
all these little individuals and it directs the ac right down here and i i like to think that jax and
terror are pretty smart and then they know that not that it's too warm in here or anything but
i got to keep those kitties comfortable until i get a little bit farther north where the
temperatures aren't in the 90s so let's go have fun in detroit right now oh my gosh i have so
much fun in there searching for mickey stuff guys i cannot wait to show you at the end of the video
everything that i'm going to show you i have never seen in my life and i may never see again
man my collection is awesome i'm gonna go do detroit now i'm gonna stop at a couple places
i actually had some advice from one of my patreon members over there uh brian
from the haley family on on youtube uh told me a couple things that are right up my alley so we're
going to go look at some fun stuff in detroit right now all right definitely not the best
part of town here in detroit not a big uh not that's not a 3d cone but it's a it's a 2d
cone that's pretty cool the roads are still pretty tore up too like it's pretty bad all over detroit
i don't know where they put all their tax money but it is not into these roads smart
car is pretty good i mean it's so small and narrow that i can i can avoid them for
fairly well they're just all all over the place here i will get parked up here and won't spend too
much time here in this neighborhood doesn't seem like a bad neighborhood it's actually
very very quiet here trying to figure out how to get to it i can see it go through the alley i
guess all right brian you were right this is um a strange one this is definitely off the beaten path
here it is also very very colorful get a load of this art installation here behind an alley
look at this place there is a sign here it says ham tramack disneyland lives
yep they're looking for donations to preserve this place back here i don't understand how they can
use the name disneyland though i don't know there are some lights on top of that one man this is
just so weird though a lot of time and effort went into all this a little upside down kitty there
there's your address but this is an alley so i think it's like a fake
address i don't know it says no trespassing there but this gate's open should we go knock knock
i don't see anybody to talk to this is pretty weird huh it's art guys are we
getting flashbacks of slab city yet look at the windmill look at the spaceship and the rockets
little chopper up there oh my gosh i have to peek through here i can always just apologize if i'm
not allowed to be back here but i'm pretty sure the public's allowed to see all this a little tv
with the kitty cat in it this is wild just wild that heat is starting to get to me a little bit
you know at least i got air conditioning in the car and we can find some shade and everything
pretty interesting i don't know what they're doing with it except trying to preserve the wood is what
they're saying even the helicopter's made out of wood yeah there you go official ham tramack
disneyland okey dokey i do love all the colors i definitely like how flashy and colorful it is
it's right up my alley there's a tasmanian devil okay well don't say i never take you guys places
all right pretty original oh i almost missed the oh boy somebody's gonna get copyright flagged
all right the car's still here the wheels are still on it i'd call that a good day in detroit
well should we venture farther into detroit should we should we risk it yeah let's stop at least one
more spot all right now i don't know anything about it but it we are here at the heidelberg
projects in detroit i don't really know what to expect but um i will keep my eyes open here
it looks like a bunch of neat art like this huge strand of car hoods it's like cadillac
ranch but a little more ghetto you know what in the world a boat full of stuffed animals and toys
a pile of shopping carts whoa look at shoe mountain here there's a glove in there too but
just a bunch of shoes it's art guys here's the main booth here if you want to freeze the frame
to read all that welcome to the critically acclaimed heidelberg project yeah so at least
now we know it's critically acclaimed there there's the trophy to confirm that you know
sometimes somebody else's garbage is somebody else's art and it was just like this in slab
city you know you would just have walls and walls and walls of junk that can also be interpreted
as art look there's like burnt up house mixed in with all this stuff look at the beams of the house
and they just tried to cover it up with all this awesome stuff barbecue pit there oh there's even a
basement and i see i see santa claus down there oh that is creepy kind of
stinks too smells like a recent fire actually this old phone booth here
okay he did tell me that i can take pictures and video and link him on social media the heidelberg
project there they're on facebook and instagram i guess also but nothing's for sale no polka dot
house oh my gosh look at that old traffic light and the faded mickey mouse wearing a mask and some
mardi gras beads wow you got an old winnebago rv on top of there i wonder what his neighbors think
okay do not tell me that this guy has not been to slab city look he's got all the old tvs
with stuff written on them wow that's pretty neat i like that there's a whole field more
and i'm definitely seeing a common theme of clocks there's a clock
there's another clock over there here's the mountain of kids toy cars and stuff
yeah and then uh shoe fence here oh my gosh i don't know guys this is a strange one i'm gonna
head back and check in on jack's no i wanna go see the water real quick and then we'll go check on
then we'll check in on the kitties i think they're just yelling over there having a good time this is
the first time i've ever felt uncomfortable in quite some time more more than a year
probably st louis was the last time where i was really itching to get back to the rv
so you know just plus i'm sweating and i don't like being by myself get back on the road here
oh shade well this has been an interesting tour of detroit michigan i don't know i'm probably doing
everything wrong blah blah blah still smiling still having fun the weather's nice oh this is
nice they got a little playground in the style of a sunken ship with treasure for the kiddos to play
oh beautiful got the detroit river out here man i miss having lakes usually every summer i'm up in
the northwest and i'm i'm floating the river like every weekend by now i don't know these rivers
and i don't have any friends up here that want to go float so i don't know got a bunch of boats out
here and there's downtown detroit with the taller buildings over there all right yeah i'm gonna go
get some ice cream i need some ice cream right meow hey what field is that is that where the
detroit tigers have lost more games than any other mlb team i don't know who actually plays there
oh weird so this dairy queen is not a drive-through it's picked up only
well okay i'll have to park it and go get in line
a little different okay that was the weirdest dairy queen i've ever been to
in my life um it's all solid huge like glass that has a magnet on it and it's like a it's like a
sally port door so you hand them your your card after you pay and then you go to the other window
they have to tell you what you got through the megaphone i didn't want to film just a bunch of
people over there and then they have to unlock the cage and then you open this thing and grab your
ice cream and i got a mint mocha moo latte which is pure white so i'm gonna check it right now
it's right it doesn't look right yep oh really eric we already had to change our shirt once today
let's not do this again this is melting quick all right let's head back to the rv my sweet
chilling babies my dude my dudette how you doing baby girl didn't mean to scare you there you're
so jumpy all the time relax man you're part of the family girl just flop around like
jax you'll get the hang of it man missed you guys i sure did i need to show them what i got
i got stuffs yeah look at my cute fuzzy butts one fuzzy butt two fuzzy butt
all right the mickey finds everything on this table i have never seen since i've been collecting
mickey stuff and go through it real quick little mickey uh tambourine i guess yeah with conductor
mickey there this is a a vintage i think you call it like like a baby rattler it's pretty weird i
mean it's pretty pretty unique and pretty old uh shampoo from the 90s you would find this at
the resorts in the 90s at the parks speaking of shampoo this plastic figurine right here
if i can do it one-handed yeah you turn his ears and he's a shampoo dispenser isn't that cool
uh this is just a strange weird wax mickey yeah i i am worried about it melting so
i may put it in a plastic bag and put it in the fridge until i get it to climate controlled
base camp because it's kind of cool this one i literally have no idea what it used to do guys
because doesn't it isn't just weird it's like a bobble head and it looks like mickey's a little
chunky you know it's definitely pretty unique and there's no numbers or displays on it also this is
a playskool it's that thick cardboard material and wait a minute is there two in there no just
one okay but anyway these are like puzzle pieces you take out the ears and his face and everything
and put it back together and it's in a nice little plastic protective case there and of course oh my
gosh i actually had one of these guys i really really did little mickey bouncy ball you'd sit
on him and you put your hands around his ears and it's got a tire inflation valve right there
i put a lot of pressure on it and it doesn't seem to have any holes it just needs some new air i
mean i guarantee you will never find this again eric watch i'm gonna find it like next month but
i don't think so it's a pretty good mickey haul all right jax just got done using the boat box
yummy clean that yeah i better clean the boat box all right well my harvest host neighbors
aren't back yet the sun has just set so it has cooled down to a nice comfortable 91 degrees
outside i'm not kidding you it's still 91 degrees outside yeah so i'm gonna take the rest of the
night off here guys after i edit the video and i actually have more coming from detroit i'm gonna
brave it at least one more day in detroit and do some different stuff there's some some stuff i i
