I love how cheerful the prison tour guide was, I feel like she should be giving tours at a happier place.

Anyone who can make that stretch of Wyoming interesting is a legend. Nice work CarpetBagger!

I love how whenever you stick your head into one of those goofy cartoon photo ops you just stand there awkwardly quiet with a deadpan expression. It’s so much funnier than if you said something lame or did a silly voice. Keep it up Jacob!

Thank you for making roadside attractions accessible to those who don’t have the means to visit them themselves!!! We appreciate you SO MUCH! Traveling the US vicariously through you has been and will continue to be a damn blast!!! From Gloucester, VA!

The inside of the school house looks so creepy, Stephen King could have written a book about that place!

I remember taking road trips with my family when I was a youngster. I miss those days. I feel like everyone who watches your videos, are traveling along in the car with you. The prison certainly was ominous, especially the gas chamber and the gallows. Thanks again for sharing your road-trip Jacob. Safe travels.

Same here

My father was born in Rawlins in 1930 and was raised there until he joined the marines during the Korean War. I have spent a lot of time there growing up visiting family.

I couldn’t handle the jail. That was really disturbing. I didn’t remember that Utah was so beautiful! Thanks for your travels!!

Seeing inside the prison was so eerie especially the noose clock, pieces of rope used for executions, jail cells and the execution chambers. On a lighter note your Tacotime meal looked divine 😍 I love your positive energy and zest for life ☀️ Your channel is enjoyable, educational and refreshing 😊 Thanks Jacob and best wishes 💐

3 years ago we stayed in Rawlins and chose to go to the other museum instead of the old prison. It's nice to get a chance ti see what we missed.

Carpetbagger/Woo meet-up in Salt Lake City?? 🤔 That would be fun! 🤗

We usually stay in Motel 6. It's a good, clean room. Nothing fancy.

Good Afternoon Jacob 🙋🏽👍🏽

I would love to go on a road trip like that. Looks like so much fun.

It is absolutely beautiful! Incredible history too. I’ve been going there all of my 65 years of life because of relatives. I never get tired of Wyoming! If not for my wife’s poor health I would move there in a minute.

Hey there Carpetbagger, we are enjoying your trek across America via the Lincoln highway. When you get to San Francisco, the very last Lincoln highway marker is there. It is on California Street in between Highway 1, which is called Park Presidio there, and 14th Avenue. It is on the south side of the street in-between a bus stop kiosk and a garbage can. It’s just 1.8 miles from the Lincoln Highway endpoint at the Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park.

This is the trip I have been waiting for. Be carful out there on that long lonesome Lincoln Highway.

This video brings back memories. During the 20 years my husband and I lived in Utah, we went to Rawlins twice a year for square dances.

such a beautiful scenery. good job mr jacob

When in California , do visit Morro Bay Ca. Once a sleepy little fishing town ... Pretty much a major tourist destination today. Walk along the Embarcadero !!!

I just found your videos the other day and discovered this one today. I've lived in Rawlins most of my life and was a tour guide at the WY frontier prison all through high school. It was the best job ever. Thanks for taking the time to visit!

One look at the lunch tray, and my mind goes right to the cafeteria fight from Watchmen. 😀

Awesome video Jacob I always wanted to visit this museum

Jacob, Adam the Woo is in Utah also. I know he is with family, but just wanted to let you know in cade you two wanted to do a meet up.

That pyramid was very interesting and so well built. What an awesome monument to Lincoln celebrating the founding of a coast to coast highway. That was nice of you to take photos for those people. That was the best prison tour I have seen so far . That food looked real good . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

Its the Ames monument. It is The highest point for the transcontinental railroad. The Ames brothers were Union Pacific financiers.

Wow interesting location. The dots on the wall from toothpaste for hanging pictures is new to me. I would think it just melt. Also, I wonder if this place is haunted? You have courage for sure sitting in the gas chambers seat. I would freak out 🫣 “Always move ahead” on the double sided car is great motivation for the weary traveler.

Great video ❤

THANKS FOR COMING TO WYOMING!

Liking these road trip videos

you make me and my toddlers mornings! thank you

Greetigs. Thank you~very outstanding content,dear~

I’m glad you stood right next to that pyramid, it was way larger than I thought. Enjoy seeing where you stop for meals and what food is there. I love vicariously riding along to see the sights.

Another great video -- pity KZread's auto-generated subtitles take some time to kick in, but I'll re-watch in a few days to catch what I missed. (The guide in the penitentiary was almost impossible to understand. Not your fault, of course, Jacob; the acoustics were lousy.) I envy you not only the journey and its sights but your food breaks. I know there have been complaints about those food segments, but they allow me to enjoy the trip vicariously even more. Thanks also for making the selfies in front of monuments, gives us a sense of scale. P.s. -- re-watching the video a day later, now that the CC has been turned on. If that was something you did, Jacob, thank you.

I missed yesterdays video, I need to catch up. This is another great video Jacob.

Was raised In Rawlins, WY. Very peaceful town. New prison is south of the town. Lots of things to see in Rawlins, WY. The car is always in the parade in July. It goes side to side. The tour guide is a great local person. Love visiting the old prison. Taco John's is local. Love the potato oles.

Thanks for sharing your trip of Wyoming. I have never been through it while going on road trips. I’m really loving the western scenery. I would definitely love to visit Wyoming one day. I’m originally from California who now lives in the Southern part of the U.S.

Back in the early 70’s my uncle and aunt stopped at Hiland to buy a pack a cigarettes. My uncle went in, while my aunt waited in the truck. When my uncle returned he said “Guess what hon, we just bought this town!”🤣 They owned it for many decades and sold it a while back. My uncle still lives just south of town. Only in Wyoming!🤣

You should visit Ken and Betty’s Ice cream in Lander if you’re down in Wyoming, great place and it was named after my grandparents!

I enjoyed learning about route 66 and the Lincoln highway and that the Lincoln highway was the first highway or road in the usa

That granite schoolhouse was creepy AF.

Another great video. 👍 I enjoyed the old school house.

I thought that school teacher was a Wolfman at first! Scared the $&@; out of me. Awesome trip Jake. Thanks for bringing me!

wow so cool road trip also adamwoo in salt lake city too ty for video

As a Bostonian I’m very familiar with the Ames’. The 2020 film Knives Out was filmed at the Ames Mansion in Easton Mass. Super inthistory….

Big fan here, can I just say thank you for documenting all of this, i don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford to do the things you do being all the way in New Zealand, I feel grateful that I get to explore/experience these things with you from the screen ❤

That's amazing that you visited the Wyoming Frontier Prison. I remember seeing that place from one of episode of this Ghost Stories show with Patrick Macknee. That show is the mid 90s classic.

Thanks for all the videos awsome job!! Very enjoyable keep up the good work looking forward to doing the Lincoln Highway soon!! Here from Utah

If you go 45 minutes north of Sacramento California off the Lincoln Highway and up the 99 you can see the smallest mountain range in the world call the Sutter buttes it was really special to the Native Americans that lived around the area and it is still special to the people here now

Not a single shark in Wyoming? What a drag! But hey, those taters looked good 👍

The Little America hotel chain is or was part of the Sinclair oil Company a regional gas station chain in the intermountain west and there is a refinery in the town of Sinclair, Wyoming.

Taco Time is iconic. Love the Mexi Fries. Enjoy the ride from SLC. Not much out there but you do pass by the Salt Flats, salt companies, and lots and lots of prisons in Nevada on this stretch of Highway. Cawn-o-co Conoco gas station

It is cool you stayed in the motel 6 in my hometown.

7:35 currently here in Maryland the average price for regular unleaded gas is $4.99/gallon

The Wyoming frontier prison looks cool 😎

After that eerie piano and the butcher teacher kinda looked Billiken face 🤣

Adam the Woo, his parents and sister and brother-in-law are in UT Salt Lake City. Great vlog. Onward and forward.

Such a beautiful state today enjoyed the trip today 🙂🙂😊 thanks for sharing 💗☺️☺️💗

Hey Jacob! Have you ever done a video about Wabash, Indiana? The first electrically lighted city? It would be fun to have you show us where Modoc the circus elephant ran through a shop! Maybe you could cover Peru, Indiana in the same video... a circus town that has circus training as a PE elective! Wheeee!!

When you get to San Francisco you should goto the Walt Disney family museum, the mark hopkins has a small museum to its history of the top of the mark. Across from the mark Hopkins is an awesome tiki lounge called the Tonga Room where it rains and the band is in a boat in a pool located i in the basement of the hotel. San Francisco has the original first tiki bar to but I haven’t gone there yet. Alcatraz is cool to

I'm not usually a superstitions person, but sitting down in that gas chamber chair where people were executed seems like a really bad idea...

I grew up in Sinclair...all your stops were in my backyard so to speak- Kool video man 🤘

Im drawing a blank on Whygoming also.

Keep up the awesome videos 💕

Jacob once you get to the end of the hwy on the west coast, I highly recommend you go just north of San Francisco to the Redwood parks. Some of the largest trees in the world, you can even drive your car through some of them. There would be tons of neat stuff for you to film there. My family and I go camping there every summer.

This is one of the times, when this show, isn't going to be as fun or cool, as the previous videos, but this is a interesting video and somewhat, educational..

This video is absolutely off the rails. I guess things get a bit wacky when on long road trips on the high plains.

Love these road trips. Adam the Woo is in Salt Lake City maybe you can do something together while you are there.

Ok, I did a bit of research, and found out that Dan Corbin was a resident there, who was very active in the community. He passed away Jan 23, 2016. He is the reason the cupola of the old Capitol Building is there. He bought it at a State sale for $100, and had it put out there to draw interest in raising money for the Granite School.

Would love to see another boogie collaboration

Yup I agree

The dome is actually a cupola

That pyramid is massive! Imagine how much machinery and how m any people it took to build it. It's amazing the symbolic significance just structures of rock present.

GREAT 👍 episode on the Lincoln Highway 🛣 in Wyoming. Really interesting at the school, prison and Taco 🌮 Time! :-)

So cool to see you in my back yard. I havent seen the graint school ooen before and i tried a year ago. Buford changed its name to pidelu or something. The person that owned the town a decade ago sold the town and it was purchased by someone from another country. There also was a time you could go inside Ames monument. Just behind the pyramid was the town of Sherman. Only a could foundations left and a graveyard with about 8 people buried in it. The town was there in the late 1800s and everyone left when the railroad moved a couple miles south

The Chuck E. Cheese Greensburg location in PA didn’t convert to 2.0 yet!

To the one guy who knew all the prison questions did you go to prison or what? 😂

the double sided car wont actually move. those cadillacs are rwd. so when you cut the rear off it has no drive line so it cant drive. a fwd car could work however if you had a way to lock the steering and put the trans in neutral on the back car.
