Lost Roadside History of Yeehaw Junction - Desert Inn / Heartbreak Hotel / Miracle Chapel & MORE

Instagram - AdamTheWooATW The central Florida love bugs have taken over like a plague . Yesterday’s video https://youtu.be/yh4LtIBXn8w

When ever I see cows in an Adam the Woo video, I know I am in for a treat.

I like this part of Florida more than the theme parks. This is the part people don't get to see. Thanks for sharing this Adam.

My Grand Father moved to Keenan's ville back in the 70s. I spent lots of vacations there from michigan. My parents later inherited it from him. I knew a man Paul Tabor who helped rebuild the school there in the 80s. He was a very skilled wood worker who Loved to give his time & knowledge to fix up the school. Yee haw junction was a cool place. Went there many times too. Keenan's ville used to have water about 1 to 2 feet deep there where all the mobile homes are back in the 50s. I learned that from the locals there. It is a flood plane area around lake Marianne. The man that told me about it said he used to canoe around there as a kid. When florida drained the everglades the water levels dropped creating usable land for the community.

I'm 60 Years old, And live in Okeechobee, And i can remember when Kenansville was thriving. I still have friends that live there. The Desert Inn was a WILD place in The 1960s. The name didn't come from People riding burros there! The Name came from The guy that kept a lot of Jack Asses. Hence, The name Jack Ass Jct. My Dad and Grandad hung out there. When The turnpike was extended from FT. Pierce, They couldn't use The Name, So it became Yee Haw Jct because of the sound the Jack asses made. It closed down recently.The Railroad followed the route of present day 441 from Okeechobee to Kissimmee.

Thank you for sharing all these great destinations of the roads less traveled for those of us who will probably never see them in person. You rock Adam!

These Vlogs remind me of when Large Marge was around #goodtimes 👍

this is classic Woo. This is what we love watching. Not you eating at Disney World. Instead we love watching you exploring the back of beyond.

I live down the road from Yeehaw Junction and the Desert Inn...semi-truck ran right into this few weeks ago. I drove by it week ago, crying shame this roadside legend has been ruined.

here's a little information for you about small little building on the side of the road that belong to AT&t and that was used for a long distance telephone lines in the old coax systems they had in the 50s and the 60s. my dad used to work on those systems out there and he used to replace and repair amplifiers for the old coax systems

I love and appreciate all of your videos, Adam. This type of video, however, is my absolute favorite. TY for showing us all of these places off the beaten track. 👏🏻👏🏻

I love the peace, quietness and history of the backroads Adam. Keep up the good work.

it is such a shame that so much history has just faded away in so many words but it is so nice that you go and find these places to share---thanks so much

Nice to see the Hotel-Restaurant-Bar before a Semi Truck crashed into to it. Thx-Adam

That was awesome man. I haven’t been thru yeehaw junction in years. I’ve always wanted to visit the hotel

I used to stay at the Pilot there all the time coming back from south Florida when I was a truck driver.

Adam I love your simple quiet videos like this sometimes. You view of time and life amazes me. You are a true artist who sees the things in life we should appreciate. Love this video. Thank you for sharing, and exploring for us. The Millers from Florida 👍❤️
