got sidetracked at this spot
2:26
which i did not know about which was
2:28
used
2:29
in dumb and dumber this lake right here
2:31
was the scene where they discovered the
2:33
money is in the samsonite briefcase
2:36
and
2:37
they have the gloves on they had two
2:39
pairs of gloves
2:41
i mean they were in there they were in
2:42
the rockies but this is not the rockies
2:44
this is utah
2:46
what's the name of this uh canyon well
2:48
it counts as the rockies it counts as
2:50
the rockies the rockies yeah these guys
2:52
are rocky so right here was where the
2:54
fire pit was right about right where my
2:56
feet are so the fire pit was right here
2:59
where they were warming their hands the
3:00
picnic table was right here
3:03
this road was not here then no it was
3:05
not here
3:06
so the road has been paved since then
3:08
the fireplace will show you that the
3:10
fire where the fire was built so you
3:11
know where the fireplace was yeah
3:13
because they it was it was part it was
3:15
here and they used that to build it on
3:18
the fireplace because it's in a canyon
3:19
they couldn't build a fire an open fire
3:21
it had to be in a container yeah
3:22
container for the fire but that still
3:24
exists so we're gonna see a movie prop
3:25
but you were here when they were filming
3:27
it yes i was here when they were filming
3:28
it
3:29
and this is before jim carrey was like
3:32
huge
3:33
and they had all these campers over
3:35
there there's a parking over there the
3:36
campers and jim carrey was rehearsing
3:38
his lines and i walked right by his
3:40
camper and the door was open and he was
3:43
in there and i didn't know who jim
3:45
carrey was then and i i saw him and he
3:47
waved at me but i was looking for jeff
3:49
daniels
3:50
then he was like the more known actor
3:53
because uh the mask hadn't come out yet
3:55
when they're filming this they had to
3:56
come out literally they got done filming
3:58
us and like two weeks later i think the
4:00
mask came out and then jim carrey
4:03
blew up and you were standing over here
4:04
when they were filming
4:05
right back here when they were filming
4:07
so right this this bush wasn't quite
4:09
here i was staying right back there
4:10
watching them film the scene that's
4:12
amazing two scenes one of them i got cut
4:15
though they had a cup of water and they
4:18
squeezed uh ketchup into the water and
4:20
made like ketchup soup and they're like
4:22
fighting over that and that was the
4:23
first thing they filmed and but that one
4:25
got cut yeah didn't make it and then the
4:27
second one of course is there that's
4:29
amazing they're watching that gloves and
4:30
obviously there was no real snow at that
4:32
time when they felt what time of the
4:33
year was it july it was in july so they
4:36
put fake chunks of ice here
4:38
you said they had some like lights it
4:40
was styrofoam that styrofoam
4:43
and they had like a weight attached to
4:44
it they threw it out
4:46
it threw the the styrofoam out in the
4:48
lake and the weight would hold it in
4:50
place okay so this was just all
4:52
styrofoam out here and then fake snow
4:53
here like when you watch the movie so
4:55
when you watch the movie like where our
4:57
feet are yeah this is all covered in
4:59
snow but it was actually just like was
5:01
that batting the cotton like it was just
5:03
cotton
5:05
they had like scissor light like a
5:06
scissor lift with lights on it and they
5:08
use those lights to kind of light up the
5:10
lake because there was any lights here
5:11
so
5:12
when you watch it you kind of see the
5:13
lights in the background that is so neat
5:14
so wherever the briefcase have opened
5:16
like right here yeah right next to the
5:18
water
5:19
they're on the picnic table and they
5:20
look over yeah it's right over here
5:21
where the briefcase opened
5:23
wonder what happened to the picnic table
5:25
now many years ago i did the five five
5:27
or six years ago i did the filming
5:28
locations of dumb and dumber not in
5:30
colorado not the colorado spots but all
5:31
the utah spots
5:33
and this place eluded me
5:35
but chris knows
5:37
a lot about the area it just so happened
5:38
to be here when they were filming it so
5:40
to use his terminology
5:42
this place has now been revealed secrets
5:45
revealed to quote provost park pass now
5:48
this is the screen used fire pit yeah
5:51
dumb and dumber
5:53
94 i think the movie came out came out
5:55
94 i think they filmed they filmed in
5:56
93. this is it this is where the fire
5:59
was they were warming their hands over
6:01
jim carrey had two pairs of gloves on
6:03
this is the i thought it was going to be
6:05
a little smaller because i think the
6:06
camera is like kind of back like this
6:08
yeah
6:10
yep and they had built the fire inside
6:12
this fire pit and it's movable it's
6:13
portable so they can move it around for
6:15
shots you just hold the camera right
6:16
there for you is this an ivy nope
6:23
oh that's poison ivy right there just
6:23
kidding
6:25
oh look at that you're telling me you
6:26
had two pairs of gloves on the whole
6:28
time
6:39
down here in the creek there's the mama
6:39
and all the little ducks
6:52
mama protecting her youth and the name
6:52
of this place is log haven okay we're
6:54
making our way over to donut
6:57
falls
6:58
and there is a moose yeah and they're
7:00
right inside right up here there's a
7:02
moose on the side of the road
7:04
look at this
7:06
just gallivanting along the side
7:11
it's a wild moose
7:19
oh look at this
7:19
oh my gosh
7:21
wow
7:28
have now drove up the canyon to another
7:28
area this little parking section down
7:30
park the car
7:32
and are going to head up
7:34
the side of the mountain
7:36
to donut falls
7:38
i've never been here before
7:43
water goes through a hole that looks
7:43
like a donut and sometimes the elevation
7:46
and ascension doesn't really show up on
7:48
camera too much
7:50
this is a little bit
7:52
a little bit elevated
7:54
going up here and rocky terrain
7:56
nothing too incredibly intense or steep
7:58
but
7:59
this is going up what's the saying if a
8:02
tree falls in the wilderness
8:04
does it make a sound
8:06
this one might have made a sound where
8:08
the roots are pulled up from the ground
8:10
you can also hear sounds of the river
8:11
going by we're going to cross over the
8:14
stream now
8:15
there's this bridge that goes over the
8:17
waterway
8:18
but the water that flows down from the
8:20
top of the mountain
8:30
is that a squirrel or a chipmunk
8:30
i can't tell oh
8:33
right over here's another
8:35
is that a squirrel or a chipmunk i can't
8:37
tell
8:38
i can't tell if it's a squirrel or a
8:40
chipmunk some of the other hikers out
8:42
have some lettuce they're feeding
8:45
the chipmunks
8:50
and i'm like man i gotta get you hey
8:50
there you are i see you i see you
8:53
played hide and go seek
8:54
now to get down to donut falls you have
8:57
to use this rope to scaffold down the
9:00
side
9:01
so it's a pretty lengthy well not too
9:02
lengthy probably a mile mile and a half
9:05
from the parking area to donut falls and
9:06
then you have to go down
9:08
this descent of these rocks thankfully
9:10
they have these all right adam's making
9:12
his way down
9:33
you make it look almost too easy
9:33
but i did it you make it look too easy
9:35
donut falls here i come we're almost
9:37
there
9:39
yeah provost didn't tell me i was gonna
9:40
get my shoes completely soaking wet but
9:42
i'm gonna do it
9:53
all part of the experience
9:54
didn't realize i was gonna be trotting
9:55
through water but it's happening
9:58
it's definitely happening
10:00
probably should get over closer to here
10:03
yeah i should get over closer to here
10:06
i am way deep in this this is like
10:09
not quite to my knees that's like wait a
10:11
lot of my shorts
10:20
here water's cold
10:20
the water's very cold
10:22
and this is quite an experience water is
10:24
roaring right underneath my feet
10:27
got my foot dropped against the side of
10:29
the rock
10:31
oh there's a here up there that makes
10:33
the donut yeah is that what it is yeah
10:36
if you look carefully the water is going
10:37
into a giant hole
10:40
and then you can go underneath that hole
10:42
and look up it looks like a giant donut
10:44
see how the water is going into that
10:46
hole up there okay i'm not seeing it
10:49
no the very top right there so you can
10:51
go underneath that right there
10:54
oh my gosh yeah it's going into the rock
10:57
but you can go underneath it but it's a
10:59
little bit of a treacherous hike i'm not
11:00
sure if it'll make that a little
11:01
treacherous i'm noticing no one is
11:03
abiding by this sign
11:05
it says hazard danger of falling
11:08
okay we either have to walk through that
11:10
or
11:11
walk through this this seems to be a
11:13
little rougher
11:15
yeah that's gonna be deeper that's
11:16
deeper than this so you think traverse
11:19
that way yep
11:42
oh my gosh this is like
11:42
really strong current going over here
11:49
before i think about this
11:49
chris and i were talking
11:51
not the best idea this current is very
11:53
rapid it easily gets swept up hit the
11:56
rock
11:57
i don't know if i want to traverse all
11:58
the way up there so i think seeing it
12:00
from afar
12:01
we're taking a pole amongst ourselves
12:04
go down there and ask him what he thinks
12:05
but i don't think it's wise
12:07
my feet are freezing cold right now
12:10
standing
12:10
in the water
12:12
this thing is moving
12:13
way faster than it might appear
12:16
on camera especially through here i got
12:18
about halfway across the thought
12:21
i don't know i kind of like the rules on
12:23
that sign there i'm gonna abide by them
12:25
okay let's discuss this i'm saying we
12:27
probably shouldn't go
12:29
all right that's treacherous it
12:31
has a spring run up the water is so
12:34
quick right now i don't think you
12:36
expected the water to be this high i did
12:37
it a second it is high
12:39
yeah i'm just gonna i'll live
12:41
vicariously through your stories
12:44
yeah i don't want to slip and go down
12:46
the mountain and you would go all the
12:48
way i started walking across i realized
12:50
there's a lot of force of water coming
12:52
out a lot have you been to universal
12:54
studios back live you see this flood
12:56
just like that just like
12:57
pretty pretty dang close i'm gonna zoom
12:59
in on those rapids okay
13:02
that is moving
13:04
down the side of that hill
13:08
moving
13:14
like this how about about a mile and a
13:14
half to this point yeah you ever take a
13:16
mile and a half here a mile and a half
13:17
back
13:19
that was easy compared to what the rest
13:21
would await of us
13:23
pretty spectacular though donut rock saw
13:26
it with my own eyes
13:27
kind of okay we kind of sort of changed
13:30
our minds
13:31
it went up a little further we're
13:33
standing right over there went across
13:35
here this got a little treacherous
13:36
there's a deep hole
14:00
how cold are your feet right now i
14:00
almost just i almost just stumbled that
14:02
how cold are your feet right i can't
14:04
even feel this foot
14:07
you can't feel that one but you can feel
14:08
that one yeah
14:10
it's brisk in that water yeah i was
14:12
gonna say
14:13
does it make you want to have a hot
14:14
coffee if i get bought you a coffee now
14:17
it'd probably be hot you could just pour
14:19
it on your feet
14:20
whatever my toes are numb mine are too
14:23
and did you feel that when you're
14:24
walking through the water it's like it's
14:26
like pulling at your legs
14:29
it's dangerous
14:30
i would not recommend anyone really
14:32
doing this
14:34
personally and not with the water this
14:36
high no this is swinging off but that's
14:38
where they go up the canyon yeah to
14:39
here's okay don't go any farther than
14:41
this when the water's like this
14:43
i follow i think that sign right there
14:45
is a good that's a good good indicator
14:47
yeah that's a good right down there
14:49
where everyone's getting their selfies
14:50
that's a good spot or right where we're
14:52
at
14:53
i'm gonna say yeah unless you're an
14:55
expert at climbing up wet rock
14:58
yeah i don't know
14:59
i don't know what he's doing oh you're
15:01
on the other side
15:02
you're going to the okay i say you are
15:05
rebellious
15:06
i'm going to zoom in a little bit
15:08
so just to give a little more
15:09
description see how the water is pouring
15:12
at very rapid speed
15:14
through that hole which is
15:16
give us the name donut rock
15:22
it almost looks like
15:22
a mouth that's swallowing
15:25
a you know a drink
15:27
it's just like pouring right in the side
15:29
of it there
15:30
very very thirsty
15:33
donut
15:34
all right
15:34
so you see where the water is coming out
15:36
so you see where it's going down into
15:37
the hole
15:38
yeah and then right below where the
15:40
water is coming out yeah that's the
15:41
entrance to the cavern that's where you
15:43
go in to go underneath the donut hole
15:45
that's amazing
15:47
so it goes in and out yep
15:50
wow that has to be
15:52
if you got caught up in that yeah that's
15:55
like game over
15:56
game over man game over man game over
16:01
that's a paxton route
16:26
oh that's deep that's really deep
16:26
that's really deep
16:42
yeah when they call these rapids there's
16:42
a reason for it
16:49
i cannot feel my feet you know you see
16:49
the snow right there that snow oh yeah
16:52
okay that just shows how cold it is
16:54
socks shoes
16:56
toes feet
16:58
up to about the you know close to the
17:00
knees
17:02
numb
17:06
my feet are numb i didn't know uh this
17:08
wasn't what i bargained for
17:10
i felt a little i feel a little bad
17:12
about that come out to the coast we'll
17:14
have a few left
17:19
you going to reveal some secrets on the
17:19
snow
17:21
secrets revealed on the snow
17:23
i think he's going to go over there and
17:24
throw a snowball at me
17:39
it's cold
17:39
you should have you should have worn
17:40
gloves
18:15
you've been wearing two pairs of gloves
18:15
this whole time yeah we're in the
18:17
rockies
18:22
this is a dumb and dumber quote and went
18:22
ahead went back up the road back to the
18:24
main area quite a congregation of people
18:26
that have no idea
18:28
what's going to happen when they get
18:30
around that corner i don't know they
18:31
don't have any clue
18:33
what awaits them when they get down that
18:38
i i can't believe you didn't bring your
18:38
water shoes adam i told you i didn't
18:40
bring my crocs
18:42
is there are crocs water shoes oh yeah
18:43
those words should also add in it's not
18:45
always like that it's because the snow
18:47
is melting
18:49
so the water from the melted snow is
18:51
pouring down the mountains he said in a
18:52
couple weeks it won't be that way yeah
18:54
it won't be that way a couple weeks
18:56
it's a spring runoff right now spring
18:57
runoff you should've thought of that
18:59
spring runoff in june yeah well i guess
19:01
it's like is it summer starting like
19:03
this week
19:04
yeah but because we're up higher so you
19:06
saw that there's snow up still up the
19:07
mountains we're up higher so it's colder
19:09
up here so the snow takes longer to melt
19:12
so it's going to be you're going to get
19:13
like at the spring run off for another
19:15
couple weeks spring runoff
19:17
is that spring water
19:19
it is spring water
19:21
chris was smart enough and wise enough
19:22
to bring a backpack
19:24
full of h2o

25:48
day
25:49
drove to downtown salt lake
25:51
we're right here on this road
25:53
back in 2012
25:56
i was in a band
25:58
and we played in a venue that used to
26:00
sit right here
26:01
by the name of birch cheeky lounge or
26:03
birch tiki bar bert something
26:06
the address was 726
26:09
and the building has completely
26:12
changed
26:13
this address is 726 and the front of the
26:16
building looks nothing like it did
26:18
back in the day but my best
26:20
educated guess
26:22
if i were
26:23
to choose would be that this was bert's
26:26
right here and here's a photo of what it
26:28
looked like back then and i do recall
26:31
the side parking lot over here where we
26:32
loaded in see if i could find a load-in
26:35
door this has really nothing to do with
26:36
the rest of the episode but you know
26:38
it's continuing my day it was a teeny
26:40
tiny place
26:42
so it could have been this one on the
26:43
far end this is around the back this
26:44
could have been the loading door
26:46
again i've slept since then it's been a
26:48
decade ago
26:50
nonetheless
26:51
that's gonna do it for today
26:53
salt lake city
26:55
had a lot of fun
26:57
