    YouTube Friday: Stuck Van, Abandoned Mennonite House, and More!

    Published: Nov 22, 2013 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    It's YouTube Friday when we explore some of the more interesting video snippets found online relating to the Plain people.  Here's this week's roster!

    SEMI VIEW:  Check out the view from a semi-truck cab as it rolls along US 20 in northern Indiana.  A trucker did a 1-minute video diary showing how buggies and trucks share the road.  Sheesh, I sure hope he was paying as much attention to his driving as he was to his mini-documentary!

    DIRECT TV:  Talk about a culture clash, the latest satellite technology meets with the Amish and in this case I think the Amish won.  Watch this Amish man pull a stuck DirectTV van out of a snowy driveway.

    ABANDONED MENNONITE HOUSE:  This is a both fascinating and bizarre video.  I'm like "why is this woman poking through a long-abandoned house?"  But if you look up her YouTube profile apparently she pokes through all sorts of abandoned structures.  Rather fascinating in a weird way.  There was once a vibrant, active life in this house, now it sits gloomy and empty,but clues can still be gleaned about its former occupants.

    MAHLON TALKS TURKEY:  Our own Mahlon Miller gives a tour of his turkey farm in 2011.
