I don't think we're getting through this
0:08
way there's some barb wire here and a
0:11
really rickety wooden
0:14
staircase that is blocked off by this
0:16
fence so we have to find another way
0:19
down there must be another way look at
0:22
that beautiful view and we're heading
0:24
this way and those two young ladies in
0:27
front of us did not he the warning don't
0:32
go any further that's what it says right
0:35
here I was just reading that I didn't
0:36
mean to startle you yeah this is like a
0:39
makeshift
0:41
terrifying slide of of death right here
0:45
it's almost like it looks like a
0:47
something you would like shoot like logs
0:48
down or something I mean I know what
0:51
you're thinking right now but I wasn't
0:52
thinking those kind of logs you're not
0:54
really going to go down that are you no
0:56
yeah don't slide down that oh my God you
0:58
probably tear your pants and up I one of
1:01
my butt cheeks wouldn't even fit in
1:03
there and you'd go off that Cliff right
1:04
there look definitely some snakes down
1:14
there someone has tossed their shoes up
1:14
on top of the power lines they's
1:16
dangling there in the
1:18
wind like a Candle in the Wind if you
1:22
look closely down there at the bottom of
1:24
this hill and down the bottom of that
1:26
Ravine is an old
1:28
truck just decomposing
1:33
here park ranger
1:35
alert park ranger
1:38
alert I don't know if we're supposed to
1:40
be up
1:41
here but they didn't say anything they
1:43
didn't stop us I was a little hesitant
1:45
about going on the property at first but
1:47
this sign clearly states do not enter
1:51
until February 23rd
1:55
2016 and that date has passed which
1:58
means
2:00

Southern California today and I have
2:05
some special guests the lovely ladies
2:07
from abnd dn. us see I got it right this
2:11
time and we are here today to visit the
2:14
Murphy Ranch and some say it was an old
2:19
Nazi sympathizer camp I don't know if
2:22
that's true we are not here to delve
2:24
into that subject but we are here to
2:26
delve into the abandoned Relic
2:30
at the
2:31
bottom of this hill are you guys ready
2:34
yeah are you ready for this are you
2:36
excited are you guys
2:38
excited join us shall
3:04
you it all starts at the cusp of this
3:04
crazy very steep
3:07
stairwell and it runs all the way down
3:10
the side of this mountain you guys have
3:13
been down here before this is the second
3:14
day in a row yep so you guys are
3:16
returning it's like deja vu for you that
3:18
water tower so you haven't been over to
3:20
the water tower yet no so we should try
3:22
to get over there at some point in this
3:23
video it's
3:30
happening
3:30
straight down this is like the stairway
3:33
to
3:33
Hades the Hades that's that's the
3:36
politically correct word that's the
3:39
politically correct word for for helles
3:42
for
3:51
hell quick pit stop as we head down the
3:51
side of these stairs there is some sort
3:54
of gear shift there perhaps maybe a
3:57
water system see if it actually
4:06
turns nope no water I'm not going to lie
4:06
this is a lot of
4:08
stairs they just keep going and
4:11
going we got a little bit of a ways to
4:13
go still
4:26
yeah this really starts to wreak havoc
4:26
on your shins and your knees now I
4:27
really don't know the history of this
4:29
place and I don't even want to jump to
4:30
conclusions you can do that research on
4:33
your
4:45
own I like it the tree I like it a lot
4:45
why do you like it what do you like
4:46
about the tree oh cuz it's covered in
4:48
glitter and blue paint it matches her it
4:51
matches your hair yeah the tree you got
4:54
the idea for your hair from that tree
4:56
don't lie they're born of the same Earth
4:58
it's really kind of hard to get AG on
5:00
how steep this is from the camera's
5:02
point of view but trust
5:03
me this is pretty
5:12
steep oh look at this water wonder if
5:12
this water works ah the nozzle's gone
5:16
foiled I just realized this tree is
5:20
very glamorous so says the tag that is
5:24
dangling from
5:26
it glamorous whenever you're on an
5:29
adventure you definitely got to stay
5:30
hydrated I have my water and I have a
5:32
secondary water do you have a water yeah
5:34
I have a water it's in my backpack how
5:35
come I'm drinking more than you guys are
5:37
I don't know we didn't drink any water
5:39
yesterday and we came to the top of the
5:41
hill and we're like I've already
5:42
consumed at least 8 O of water we
5:44
haven't even started I know that was the
5:47
downhill it's only going to get rougher
5:49
from here and there's a fork in the road
5:52
do we take the left or do we take the
5:55
right do we take the left or do we we
5:59
take the
6:01
right which way no I'm asking a question
6:05
which way do we go do we take the left
6:06
or do we take the right I was asking you
6:08
guys we're taking the right okay we're
6:09
going up this way if you're out here and
6:11
you need to use the restroom do not
6:13
defecate here do not defecate
6:24
there and normally when you arrive to an
6:24
abandoned location there really is no
6:26
one else there but there are a lot of
6:28
people out here on the property people
6:30
hiking people walking people just
6:33
hanging out kind of crazy how many
6:36
people are
6:48
here
6:48
yeah there it is that's the main
6:50
building
6:51
mhm and it looks like a few people have
6:56
decided to spray paint just a couple I'm
7:00
best guessing probably 11 12 maybe a
7:03
Baker's Dozen handful of people have
7:06
decided to ordain this place with their
7:10
handiwork this almost looks like a slide
7:13
like maybe when it rains the rain water
7:15
pours down these stairs but could also
7:17
be used as a Stairway when I say always
7:19
be used I mean in the past because no
7:21
one's using this now as a Stairway
7:24
they're just using it as
7:26
decoration for the world
7:34
go up these stairs and see if we can get
7:34
a side view of the building
7:47
cool pretty
7:47
cool it almost looks like the hillside
7:50
over there when you hike it it looked
7:52
like they were going to do like terrist
7:53
like Gardens or something over
8:00
there
8:01
those guys have their opinion everyone
8:03

12:16
really cool these rocks that are
12:16
embedded in the cement here it's almost
12:18
like this place used to actually be kind
12:20
of beautiful at one point and decorative
12:22
leading up this kind of creepy and
12:25
awesome
12:27
stairway look at that I would say
12:29
judging by the charred remains of this
12:33
2x4 and the burn marks on it that there
12:36
was some sort of a brush fire out
12:40
here nailed
12:43
it nailed
12:51
it we found another stairwell we're
12:51
going to see where this
12:57
leads oh man
12:57
this going back up that's the tough part
13:00
if you look closely there are some power
13:02
lines way up there that's where we're
13:05
heading but not before first taking a
13:09
break right here hanging out with some
13:12
flies just hanging out with some flies
13:13
on my face mhm FL flies on the face
13:16
lizards you know what I could use other
13:18

13:20
blizzard cuz it's very warm this is
13:23

13:25
stairwell holy

13:46

13:54
there's like a little entry wayp point
13:55
right here
14:01
too we're at the top of the mountain we
14:01
made it we're the king of the
14:03
world look at that that's cool you can
14:06
see near pretty much close to the near
14:08
the top of this how vast this property
14:11
is and the stairway that we came in is
14:14
over there and you can kind of see some
14:16
people going up and down the stairway
14:18
and you can hear their voices as they
14:21
walk through the
14:57
looks like there's another chunk of a
14:57
car right there that got cast down the
14:59
side of this
15:00
mountain and looks like you guys are
15:02
