Transcript

for one reason or another I was inclined
0:02
to purchase this little pirate guy it's
0:06
an impulse buy
0:07
while I was fueling up the RV this store
0:12
just pulled me in to buy a knick-knack
0:16
welcome everyone Adam duh
0:19
go get your own coffee this is a non
0:21
pillage zone it's my second channel
0:26
daily walks out it's that's good this is
0:33
an interesting looking structures in the
0:35
shape of a letter and on the side of the
0:38
hill behind it is also the letter A a
0:41
lot of cows out here more cows than you
0:47
can shake a stick at you never want to
0:49
shake a stick at a cow they get very
0:53
angry if you take all 50 states in the
0:55
US and look at the ones that are least
0:58
populated the one I am currently
1:01
cruising westwardly through is number
1:04
one the least amount of people live here
1:07
than any other state I was reminded of
1:10
that fact yesterday when I was browsing
1:11
through the comments section not only do
1:13
I learn things by going out and doing
1:15
and seeing but also perusing what you
1:18
have to say kind of like a mutual
1:20
teamwork thing the landscape is not only
1:23
beautiful out here but very peaceful and
1:27
right at the threshold between Albin II
1:29
and carbon county is this little cabin
1:33
said to be the oldest in the world it
1:37
was given that name in 1938 by the one
1:40
and only Robert Ripley this structure is
1:43
made up of over 5,000 dinosaur bones
1:47
believe it or not there was a time when
1:51
it was the home of a tiny museum but
1:54
those days have passed now it sits
1:56
desolate and alone looking inside the
1:59
window relics of the past or at least of
2:03
the gift shop it's safe to say in a
2:06
storm this would probably hold up really
2:09
well and what is this supposed to be
2:12
so reproduction egg it was built in 1933
2:17
by a family who had a gas station on
2:20
this site and they wanted to draw
2:22
people's attention off the road and
2:25
spend some money roadside attractions
2:27
are fascinating in that sense it reminds
2:30
me of Cabazon in California for Claude
2:34
Bell built the dinosaurs to draw people
2:37
over to the diner next to this fallen
2:38
tree is an elevation marker and as I
2:43
continue across the premises the sign
2:47
has fallen saying the geological
2:50
location a petrified life at one point
2:54
there was something written on the side
2:57
of this ro ll s very difficult to make
3:03
out however could this have been where
3:05
the t-rex food was kept Universal gear
3:10
oh no lubricant never mind dinosaurs do
3:14
not eat lubricant it appears as if
3:18
someone has busted out the window you
3:23
can peer in sized artwork on the side of
3:25
the wall some renditions of that period
3:28
of time and some trinkets tucked away in
3:33
these cabinets
3:34
I'm not going to climb in I'm just
3:36
standing on this cinder block it's safe
3:39
to say the owners lived in that house
3:41
adjacent to the store and speaking of
3:44
how this here's the one they use the
3:47
facilities up they got the pieces to
3:54
build the cabin from Como bluff
3:56
nicknamed the dinosaur graveyard
3:58
one of the biggest conglomerations of
4:01
pieces anywhere in the world pretty
4:05
interesting stuff out here basically in
4:08
the middle of nowhere
4:10
I have always been interested in the
4:12
works and the finds of mr. Ripley but I
4:16
have to wonder did he stand in the same
4:18
spot I am did he come out here on his
4:21
own accord and see this with his own
4:24
eyes
4:26
or did he just name it from afar it's
4:28
not something that most likely is going
4:30
to happen but I can totally imagine a
4:32
brontosaurus just crossing this road I
4:36
could see it meandering across the
4:41
thoroughfare the next town over of
4:43
Medicine Bow prominently displays on the
4:46
bar sign a cowboy riding one of those
4:49
creatures and it looks as if a t-rex
4:52
completely destroyed this windmill
4:54
mangled and torn like nobody's business
4:57
I love these Pathak train add to the
5:01
ambiance the open road
5:04
wide angle addition listen to the sound
5:08
Shh don't say anything just listen
5:26
granted all you're hearing is the wind
5:26
coming through the open window once you
5:28
get the idea Shh continue listening
6:19
nails it back on the interstate now IAT
6:19
just past the sign is that Continental
6:21
Divide elevation 7,000 feet still
6:26
heading westbound for a good portion of
6:28
my life and never even consider the
6:30
thought traveling in an RV which makes
6:33
me wonder why one day own a boat too bad
6:37
there's no Wi-Fi on the ocean because
6:39
logging from the open sea and that would
6:42
be an adventure
6:42
a couple key points I noticed about this
6:44
area no cell phone service I have 80 so
6:47
if you have that same service provider
6:50
prepare to have no bars for multiple
6:54
hours on it that's what I'm dealing with
6:56
right now as well as the RV keeps
6:59
wanting to sway to and fro from lane to
7:02
Lane because the wind through these
7:04
planes is incredibly powerful and I had
7:07
the bright idea to roll the window down
7:10
for just a moment a mile or two back a
7:14
gust came through the window and I swear
7:17
it felt like someone slapped me in the
7:21
face like they punch me in the noggin I
7:24
don't know if I've ever experienced that
7:26
before it was impressive
7:30
Wow stick cracks tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu
7:50
protecting this trips been pretty
7:50
enjoyable so far I must say getting off
7:52
the grid if you will considerably
7:55
different than my new place in Southern
7:57
California but I am heading back to Los
8:00
Angeles make no bones about that can you
8:04
make bones bones are produced in a body
8:07
I guess you could make a buck you think
8:09
of like this this is not a real skull so
8:13
I guess you can make a bone to go along
8:16
with that I've been looking for a best
8:19
buy to buy some stuff not only for my
8:21
camera but also my laptop I have not
8:22
used my laptop this whole road trip
8:24
because I left my external keyboard
8:27
because I screwed up something a few
8:30
months ago on my macbook I have it with
8:33
me that I have been able to use it
8:34
because I do not bring that other
8:36
keyboard so I've been trying to find in
8:38
equipment store an electronic store or a
8:41
Best Buy and haven't found one I've even
8:45
seen Walmart's that's why this whole
8:46
I've been pretty much out in the middle
8:49
of no man's land it's been nice it's
8:55
definitely nice to get the fresh air at
8:57
the same time be nice to find a
9:00
Starbucks or Trader Joe's something of
9:04
that nature I like the best of both
9:06
worlds I like a healthy mix makes you
