well good sunny afternoon to y'all guys from Robertsdale Alabama now that's
right it's about 2 p.m. and I'm hanging out
here at a camping world and know I've been really critical of Camping World in
the past for their political interference with their business but I
did want to share this one because this one again in Robertsdale Alabama if
you're a good Sam's member and it's only like 25 bucks a year and you get all
those perks of discounted fuel and propane and here's one of the best perks
of all at this particular store free overnight full hookup camping they have
six slots here that have full hookups this is my neighbor here for some reason
he's not using his so we'll look at it but you got 50 amp service
you got water that stays on year-round in a dump station right there so that's
a perk that is awesome for a traveler for one night and I know I'm here early
like I said it's only 2 p.m. but I got to get some patreon stuff stickers and
postcards and sign photos out here so this is like this is a good spot to just
kind of plug in they also fill propane for $2.99 a gallon here you get 5 cents
off discount with the good Sam's membership otherwise like I said it's
about 65 degrees today so it's nice and warm I got the fan running well plugged
in but and also my my neighbor on the other side of me where my hookups are
he's actually getting his windshield replaced there's the glass man they're
doing it right here in the parking lot of camping room it's like a three-person
job anyway this is where I'm gonna stay one night good morning everybody it is
the next day it's a sunny day here in Alabama won't be here long
heading over to Mississippi today got to put on some miles west so I get to Texas
so this camping world was awesome I will never forget it and I'm sure I will be
back sometime when I in southern Alabama but are we all in
hooked everything's a plugged I guess we'll feel it no I don't play those kind
of chances I get out and do my checks it's a nice little stay but time to move
on my never-ending cough getting onto Highway 59 for right now but I am going
to be doing some interstate driving to expedite my trip to Texas to take care
of my my banking issue all right we'll get moving
yes we've been driving suspended over the water here for a little bit now and
it's nice except it doesn't work to get big shifts through here commercial cargo
ships are not going to fit underneath us here on i-10 so I'm thinking about a
mile up here things are gonna change we are going to yield to the big barges
they built an underwater tunnel we're going to go straight down into the water
several hundred yards so that the big ships can sail over us while we're
driving on i-10 so yeah we're going underwater guys and here we go what an
engineering marvel here I'm gonna have to hit the brakes because we are going
straight downhill right now probably can't tell straight downhill just flying
through here with no gas I don't know how many how far down underwater we are
but again ships can sail above us now over us it is so weird it does not
happen too often in this country I'll tell you that
and it looks like we got about 30 or so miles left before we hit Mississippi
here coming back up back to civilization sunglass time oh yeah all right there we
go back above water all right just like
that here's a sign on to the right welcome to Mississippi birthplace of
America's music that's right and barbecue about a lot of states claim to
be the home of barbecue but you know I'm running along i-10 really far south in
the country so there's just short little stays in these two states but rest area
and Welcome Center I'm not gonna hit those up it's gonna keep driving I'm
hungry so I don't need a map I don't even don't don't like take your
get water cuz I got all that a TMP world so
whiskey drip just keep driving just keep coughing just keep coughing all 2020
forever we will talk you know it occurred to me that some of the best
food in Mississippi is probably not going to be right off the highway it's
gonna be on back roads like this and it might even be in a shed like oh my gosh
this place is packed so welcome to the shed barbecue and blues joint this place
is hoppin holy cow I don't know if I'm gonna be able to find a parking spot but
by the size of the crowds here I'll bet they got some pretty good food
so Jesus place is just packed
all righty I found a spot to park here I'm in the overflow of the camping now
we will walk back to the barbecue the shed as they call it a couple things
today is my cheat day here live so now I'm gonna enjoy some interesting local
foods here for sure but not overdo it and second of all this blog is filmed
entirely on my GoPro seven so you know a lot of my viewers had been saying that
the more professional cameras I use that have the bokeh the blurred background or
my face is in focus and everything's blurry they don't like that most of my
viewers say they prefer the GoPro look for my style of vlogging and so you can
let me know in the comments again because I've been not using this camera
for several months now and I'm just going back to it for fun today just to
see what you guys think so let me know in the comments below
start up here at the front the smells here are awesome the shed BBQ blues
joint you have a little bit of everything in here
it's literally a shed it probably started as just one shed and then
branched out and morphed into what it is now it's pretty funny
they got some souvenirs I'll look for some magnets inside the shed there's no
concrete ground it's just rock they've won a lot of barbecue competitions folks
look at all these trophies Kingsford trophy yeah it's the real deal
there is one magnet in the entire show it's this thin one I got fed at the shed
I am really hungry but let's go walk around outside and see what else there
is and it looks like on the weekends they have a whole bunch of barbecue
everywhere else so it's kind of like a competition like a little barbecue fest
here oh my gosh this smells me everybody's grilling oh yeah
you could really overdo it here Hey look telephone booth and some skis they are
grilling all sorts of stuff crawfish maybe - that's fun any Gators

out of the week I'm not always gonna overdo it like this with the leftovers I
got to eat these today or throw them out come back to my diet tomorrow very very
very fun stop fantastic food great atmosphere I highly recommend the Shedd
barbecue in fact I'll flash some GPS coordinates below and the city here in
Mississippi where it's at you gotta check this place out if you're near Iten
in Mississippi but let's get back on the road got to find some overnight
accommodations in the area and it's kind of tricky around here

finish the whole thing for you little bugger

Winslow Arizona guitar right there it needs to unfree lit still will twist it
but yeah looking good all right all packed up ready to go windows are closed
you can't stay there while were driving you gonna get in a better seat there mr.
sunshine beautimous oh yeah Jax man relievin okay all right you know several
years back I visited what was the world's largest rocking chair it was on
route 66 I think it was in Missouri in fact my buddy Sean just posted a newer
picture of it but it has been dethroned and I remember reading the sign on there
it's scratched out world's largest and now it says like second world's largest
that's because yeah here it is right up here on the left you've got its
successor the new world's largest rocking chair here I'm gonna pull over
and get an Instagram picture next to it we're in did you Klan furniture store
okay yeah I'm gonna go get that rocking chair real quick no hang on I got a good
picture there we go world's largest roadside attraction here in Gulfport
Mississippi it's 35 feet tall made out of southern pine the chair was built in
1995 to dethrone the one in Missouri
Paul Bunyan you're around these parts you know you always got a place to stay
here buddy oh yeah gosh what a nice day I really
lucked out man Florida was super hot at times and now it's just perfect 65
everyday in the winter that's great for me that's perfect uh I do have a spot to
uh overnight park that spot is going to be a rest area that I've stayed at
before but it's not your typical rest area it's actually a little unique they
offer some nice RV accommodations so I got a little more driving to do I think
like 30 miles right on the border of Mississippian and Louisiana so let you
know when we get there and show you our new digs for the night so this is the
Mississippi Welcome Center it's also you know a rest area and I generally try to
stay away from rest areas if I'm gonna be doing an overnight even when it's
allowed because they put the RVs in the same section as the semi trucks and you
know I know they got a job to do but the way they overnight in and out and
running reefers and generators and fluctuating noises and air shocks and
all that it makes for a terrible night's sleep in my opinion some people love
that they think it's calming or something
I don't share the same opinions however when I was looking for a safe spot to
overnight park on my Google Maps app I had it start from a previous time when I
was here and I had it starred because I liked it a lot because they don't put
you next to the semis so we'll go see if my spot is open from
last year see it's saying buses trucks and RVs are
all going this way but I'll show you by the way we're just one mile away from
Louisiana on the other side i-10 but you got these normal-looking truck stalls
and RV and buses and everything I avoid them like the plague it has never been a
good night's sleep for me in a situation like that but we're gonna go around here
and I'll show you doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
I want a peek at this I don't need to use the dump station but see if it's
open just so I can provide that kind of information sometimes they put a lock on
it for the season or something this one's open the stump station is open
they don't have potable water right that potable water right there though see
this section right here this is the RV overnight section which
is actually really cool right no semi-trucks
I do see some openings a little bit farther down so I'm actually going to go
a little bit farther down just in case one of these people have an open frame
generator or something like that because sometimes that can be really loud also
this is the exit for the trucks they still have to loop around here and drive
through here so in that sense of the word it could be kind of noisy as the
trucks are going through but I'm willing to put up with it basically it's a lot
better than being parked right next to me fumes going in my window that's an
old rental that majestic I am going all the way down to the very last sight here
I think this is a safe bet no you and this is where I'm gonna overnight part
guys I'm gonna have to use my jacks cuz I'm quite a bit unlevel right here
Catman jacks I'm gonna go peek around outside real quick and make sure there's
no Unleashed dogs or anything that's bad out there first I'll go scope it out
first make sure it's safe okay for the kitty kitty
hey I'm get some kibbles ready for dinner couple skittles okay he doesn't
eat kibbles like kibble brandy he eats core grain free but he just knows the
word kibble that's what we always use glasses ah yeah just as I remember in
fact Oh check something this was turned off last
time I was here years ago and it's still turned off sometimes there's a delay but
no this one's definitely off for the season a good thing I filled up the
Camping World who do you guys like to overnight at rest areas on my RV buddy's
let me know in the comments below good or bad yea or nay bad experiences
put air plugs in and you can handle it would you come to this one though that
seems to love RVs a lot more yeah I think you would I think you'd enjoy it I
got a clear shot at the southern southern sky so I can watch some TV
tonight besides the occasional road noise out here I think it's just gonna
work fantastically well
if you take a look at what's going on down there look at how that idiot
semi-truck pulled in and he's what no semi trucks allowed
I kind of feel sorry for those campers down there I can literally hear his
engine from way down here that's just crazy make it still happen right there
though
just because it's my cheat day doesn't mean I skip my workouts I don't take any
days off you know cardio or strength training you know what if that ever
falls off up there and hits me in the joke I'm gonna be down for about it
ow all right I'm getting close to finishing up editing this video inside
so I just want to close it out I'll be back on the road gonna get into
Louisiana and probably Texas by the next time I see you guys so take care I had a
fun day thanks for sharing it with me Jackson I'll see you next time on the
channel I guess
you
