Today's adventure begins as the

recording of the Saturday, September

0:09
I am in Idaho,
0:12
looking at this beautiful scenic river.
0:20
There's a bridge behind me right here at
0:20
the Aerrow Rock Dam. Higher than any
0:23
other dam from 1915 to 1934,
0:27
it still is an essential part
0:30
a Boise Valley or Boisey
0:34
Valley irrigation system. I'm starting
0:37
off right here, but I'm on my way to
0:41
Idaho City. Started in Boyisey and going
0:45
to Idaho City.
0:47
This is Moors Creek,
0:55
named for J. Marian Moore, leader of the
0:55
party of miners who founded Idaho City.
0:59
in October of 1862.
1:07
Really nice oldtimey bridge here. Gonna
1:07
be a scenic drive
1:11
and then go to Idaho City and then after
1:13
that going to go to some hot springs
1:15
that are about another hour north of
1:17
Idaho City. Doing some driving today.
1:21
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. My
1:24
sister is also here. She is going to be
1:27
commuting me around the area. So, I had
1:29
the directions wrong. You're saying
1:30
where we're going is west, not north.
1:32
>> We're going to have to go north and then
1:34
over to the west and then back down
1:36
south to back to Boise.
1:39
>> Okay. Boise.
1:41
>> Boise. We're going to Kirkham Hot
1:43
Springs.
1:44
>> Kirkham Hot Springs after Idaho City,
1:47
which you were telling me was like a You
1:48
were looked it up last night was like a
1:50
gold rush town.
1:51
>> Yeah, huge gold rush. Can't remember
1:53
what year, but a guy told me that they
1:56
found more gold along this river than
1:58
they did in the whole gold rush of
2:00
California. Not sure if that's true, but
2:03
>> we can maybe we get to Idaho City,
2:05
they'll have some plaques and things we
2:06
like reading plaques.
2:08
>> Yeah.
2:09
>> All right. I'm inviting you to join me
2:10
and my sister as we go to some hot
2:12
springs, but before that, a little Idaho
2:14
history. Join me.
2:17
>> Shall you?
2:20
>> We have arrived in Idaho City.
2:23
kind of just like a little small town.
2:25
You think of a city not necessarily
2:27
having not all of them have skyscrapers
2:29
and large populations. It's more of a
2:31
quaint little community
2:35
of Idaho City. And this is the sign, the
2:39
entry sign right here.
2:46
You can see this guy panning for gold up
2:46
top. Historic Idaho City.
2:51
Boisey
2:53
Basin Museum. Let's check that out if
2:55
it's open.
3:02
First Odd Fellows. First Oddf Fellows
3:02
Hall in Idaho. What were you saying,
3:04
Faith?
3:05
>> 4,500,000
3:07
ounces of gold. Imagine one's a piece of
3:10
wood is missing or something.
3:12
>> Oh, yeah. The rest of the wording has
3:14
fallen off.
3:16
First Catholic Church
3:20
ounces. That's a lot.
3:28
The First Catholic Church Northwest
3:28
European congregation in Idaho.
3:32
>> Oldest Masonic all west of the
3:35
Mississippi.
3:46
They got these pine trees as we were
3:46
cruising down. There's these really tall
3:49
pine
3:49
>> ponderosa.
3:50
>> That's what it's ponderosa pine.
3:58
>> This is the main well not the main drag.
3:58
I think we have actually a street called
3:59
Main Street up here a little bit. So
4:01
we're going to go up turn onto that see
4:04
what we can find.
4:09
>> See that pool? It's got like one of the
4:09
big whatever this thing's called. See
4:12
that piece of metal on the pole
4:15
>> way down there? Like a like a pickaxe.
4:18
>> Digging pickaxe thing. Yeah.
4:21
>> All right. Turning off the road we were
4:23
just on. Highway 21 on Main Street.
4:26
There's a visitor center over here. Just
4:28
looked up the population. Less than 500
4:31
people. There is a pay phone here. Look
4:34
at this. Look at this relic of the past.
4:42
This is the visitor center. Yeah. And
4:42
they census back in 2020, 400 and change
4:47
people wise. So I'm guessing even if the
4:50
population has grown in the last 5
4:51
years, this probably still is not over
4:53
500 people. Established in 1862.
5:14
There it is. Ponderosa Pine Scenic Route
5:14
Highway 21. That's the one we just came
5:16
in from. From Boyisey, Idaho City to
5:20
Boyisey to Stanley. Landscapes vary from
5:22
Rock Canyons to Upland Forest and
5:24
Mountain Meadows. And that's where we're
5:26
going. Kirkham Hot Springs. That's where
5:29
we're going, right? Kirkham.
5:30
>> Yes. Uhhuh. That's it.
5:37
>> This carving here. This guy's with his
5:37
mustache
5:39
right there. He's got winter coat on.
5:43
>> Northeast of
5:44
>> Oh,
5:45
>> we were both wrong. You were wrong. I
5:47
was right.
5:48
>> I was wrong.
5:51
>> Where does it say northeast?
6:04
Oh, I like this. I like a good bird's
6:04
eye view. Here's a bird's eye view of
6:07
the downtown Idaho city.
6:10
Main Street. We are right here where the
6:11
visitor center is. You are here and it's
6:15
just a few blocks.
6:18
Have to go maybe by the Pioneer Cemetery
6:20
there at the top. There's a city park.
6:24
Might be a museum or two in there. Maybe
6:26
find a coffee shop. And this says right
6:28
here, "Don't eat here."
6:32
So, whoever is there, someone local in
6:35
the town, there's a little bit of a
6:39
a little rivalry going on here. Somebody
6:41
does not want you to eat at that spot.
6:44
Blacksmith shop.
6:48
The exchange saloon, schoolhouse.
6:52
It's like a real oldtimey town.
7:00
Very cool.
7:00
Welcome to one of Idaho's first cities
7:03
founded upon gold discovered here in
7:05
1862
7:07
in the rush that followed thousands
7:08
flocked here to the area making Idaho
7:10
City the largest population center in
7:13
the Northwest surpassing Portland.
7:16
250 businesses in its heyday. The queen
7:19
of the gold camps definitely not in the
7:21
heyday now with less than 500 people.
7:24
Little more info on the Ponderosa Pine
7:26
Scenic Byway.
7:39
Banner Ridge, Stanley Lake,
7:39
the Boise Basin Loop,
7:43
historic Idaho City.
7:55
I love a classic old town.
7:55
I I don't know. I'm feeling pretty good
7:57
today being here.
8:35
Old Jeep right here. Yeah. Look at this.
8:35
Look at this town.
8:38
This is the main street.
8:42
And this is the blacksmith shop.
8:46
The sun glistening down.
8:50
be a lot of sign reading today.
8:56
George Kettlers,
8:56
that was his shop,
9:14
It was also used as a newspaper
9:14
spot. They published the Idaho
9:16
Mountaineer newspaper. and the Idaho
9:19
World until 1976.
9:23
It's now a home boutique shop. I'm
9:26
noticing a lot of Jeeps through town,
9:30
like off-road jeeps people have.
9:34
Up on the top of the hill is the old
9:36
church building, the Catholic church.
9:38
There's also something in town called
9:40
the Oddfellows Hall. I'm not really
9:42
familiar with the organization of the
9:45
odd fellows,
9:46
but I've seen some signs for it.
9:53
And obviously during the winter months,
9:53
ice is over pretty heavily here and
9:55
snow. So the no sledding applies to
9:58
wintertime. Oh, look at this
10:16
Now a health product store. Or maybe
10:16
this isn't the saloon.
10:17
>> It is. I think it said it
10:21
1880 something.
10:35
I love this. You got the
10:35
all the little business cards and
10:37
pamphlets from in town. Market to buy a
10:38
horse. This is where you would buy
10:41
sell horses up there. You put your info
10:42
up.
11:04
It's an old Bull Durham sign. Oh, there
11:04
is a
11:08
cow dog on the ground. So, be careful
11:10
walking in that
11:19
businesses through here. A couple
11:19
residents here on Main Street as well.
11:21
Here's Harley's Pub
11:25
and dating back to 1910, this home has
11:27
been here.
11:29
This is the Clayton House, private
11:31
residence
11:33
right on Main Street.
11:45
This is called the ribbon tree
11:45
and it shows the different historic
11:48
events based on the tree itself.
11:57
time log from the ribbon tree
11:57
showing when you know different
11:59
timestamped events from 1890, 1862,
12:03
1776
12:06
shows when the tree was at that size.
12:09
Very fascinating.
12:12
There was another newspaper called the
12:13
Idaho World
12:16
starting back in September of 1863.
12:24
This was the building. It was published
12:24
in this building is all the national
12:26
registry of historic places.
13:00
You want to pay your taxes, you just
13:00
drop them in this little tax payment
13:04
mail slot right there.
13:11
A sign leaning up against the side of
13:11
this building is the Prospector Hotel.
13:21
Yeah, just strolling along Main Street.
13:21
Weather feels great. At 10:30,
13:24
it is 61 degrees. Amazing. This is the
13:29
city hall.
13:31
Almost looks like an old schoolhouse.
13:33
You got the bell up top.
13:43
It's an antique shop right here.
13:43
Antiques of yesterday's memories and
13:45
collectible goodies.
13:58
They got the little stansion up so you
13:58
can't walk up on the porch.
14:01
Look at the roof here. Almost look
14:03
there's like a bird's nest up there.
14:17
They got everything in here. I was going
14:18
to say but the kitchen sink, but they in
14:19
fact do have the kitchen sink.
14:55
>> Oh, they sure do.
14:55
Look at that. There's Frankie.
14:58
There's Bride of Frankenstein.
15:01
Dracula.
15:08
Think that's the mummy there. Some nice
15:08
classic trucks over here in this yard.
15:32
Love all these old houses and old
15:32
buildings.
15:42
This would definitely be a peaceful
15:42
place to live.
15:45
The county jail and the pest house
15:50
next to another blacksmith.
15:53
This dates back to 1865.
16:10
The term came from the word pestilence,
16:10
those with diseases
16:32
You got some mannequins there laying on
16:32
the beds here in the pest house.
17:03
And then there's the county jail.
17:03
And then the
17:06
G wreath house dating back to 1863
17:09
there. Go over there and see what that
17:10
is. And then you got the Basin Museum.
17:13
We'll go check that out momentarily.
18:35
prosecuting attorney building here. But
18:36
then there's this very unique
18:38
piece of artwork here, like a carving
18:42
of sorts.
19:02
used to be the post office and a
19:02
bookshop.
19:04
They're
19:10
open daily.
19:10
$4 per person.
19:27
>> Is this the building we're in right here
19:28
now?
19:28
>> Yes.
19:36
back in 1867 it was built
19:36
was the old post office.
19:39
>> Yeah. This was the post office part
19:41
here, this section. And then through
19:44
this door was where he had his store
19:47
and then the next one over is where he
19:49
lived. So there's actually three
19:51
different buildings under one one roof.
19:54
>> Okay. So we're in the post office right
19:56
now.
20:25
How could they do that? Well, they
20:25
didn't know.
20:26
>> That's what they [laughter]
20:27
>> That's what they had at the time.
20:41
I have a state where all the ore would
20:41
come up here, go in the bucket, come
20:44
down, get pulverized,
20:46
taken out.
20:55
>> It's basically three sections as he was
20:55
saying, starting off in the post office
20:57
and then going another
20:59
different areas
21:02
of the building itself.
21:04
>> Some old little old little school desks
21:07
here.
21:21
There's some of the old PO boxes over in
21:21
this room.
21:29
You get your money orders there.
21:29
You got your post office boxes right
21:30
there.
21:32
Old barber chair.
21:35
Serious [snorts] relics.
21:38
Look at this thing.
21:51
Money orders issued. Look at that.
21:51
A register of all the money orders that
21:53
were issued
21:56
right here.
21:57
from this little window.
22:10
>> What's that?
22:10
>> Oh, sure is.
22:12
>> I know because of this.
22:16
>> Look at this, too. That's cool.
22:19
They're playing a little movie in here.
22:20
A little history of when there was the
22:22
booming gold town that it no longer is.
22:26
So many people here now. Just a few
22:29
people that live here now compared to
22:30
what it used to be. Guess what this was
22:32
used for? Number one. Lift to find the
22:35
answer. What would this have been used
22:38
for? Let's lift
22:40
to find the answer. A snowshoe for
22:44
horses.
22:46
>> Okay, I see it now. There was an old
22:48
gold dredge back in 1943.
22:51
There's a photo of it.
22:58
All right, got to make our way back down
22:58
Main Street.
23:12
The
23:12
>> gold rush of 1862.
23:29
>> We're going to head over to the cemetery
23:30
soon. But take a look at this. Of the
23:32
first 200 graves,
23:35
only 28 were from natural causes.
23:42
And look at this. One report claimed
23:42
that of the 50
23:44
murders occurring in the span of a few
23:46
months, not one had a single conviction.
23:49
Partially, this was because of local
23:52
government
23:53
who loathed to enforce laws handed down
23:56
by the Union government.
23:58
>> Says they were the dirtiest men this
24:01
ever saw,
24:03
>> living in cabins with dirt fors and
24:04
seldom washing and all showing high
24:06
water marks under their chins and jaws.
24:18
Yeah. The story of Herman St. Clair. He
24:18
was punished
24:20
for taking the life of his partner, John
24:25
Decker.
24:31
And this is a fence from the old prison
24:31
right there. Piece of the wood fence.
24:34
That
24:35
was the prison. It's another old school
24:38
house. Now a unique shop.
24:44
Little
24:46
antiques also closed.
25:01
It's kind of an interesting setup. The
25:01
gentleman that lives here said I could
25:03
get a little video of the front. He just
25:04
stepped back inside. He was on his
25:05
porch. He was saying he has an old foam
25:08
booth down here, but notice how the
25:10
front facade almost looks like you
25:13
wouldn't realize that the facade goes up
25:15
around the back side of the slanted
25:17
A-frame,
25:19
but this
25:21
he was saying is an old foam booth right
25:23
here. Old wooden foam booth.
25:34
An old old stove. Little piping hot
25:34
caffeinated beverage from Idaho.
25:42
And I think we're going to get back in
25:42
the car and go a mile outside of town to
25:45
the Pioneer Cemetery. Got a little
25:48
brochure here. Self-guided tour
25:50
brochure.
25:52
>> Going to run out of fuel.
25:54
>> What's that, sir?
25:55
>> Yeah. You're going to run out of fuel.
25:56
>> Yes, sir. Are you a local here?
25:58
>> Yes, sir.
25:59
>> Okay.
26:00
>> I live right up the end of this road.
26:03
>> About stre is not a road.
26:05
>> Not a road. I'm new here. I'm from
26:07
Florida. I've never been to Idaho City.
26:09
Give me your favorite fact about Idaho
26:11
City.
26:13
>> That is my home.
26:14
>> Oh, yes, sir.
26:15
>> That's a good one. That is a good one.
26:17
>> What's your name, sir?
26:18
>> Mark Weeden.
26:19
>> My name is Adam and this is my sister,
26:21
Faith.
26:21
>> Well, hello.
26:22
>> Nice to meet you.
26:23
>> No, I used to be the chimney sweep here
26:25
in this county.
26:28
Painted a lot of houses. Painted that
26:31
one, painted that one, painted that one.
26:34
hotel,
26:36
but I fell off a roof about 18 years
26:39
ago. Oh, no, eight years ago.
26:41
>> And uh well,
26:44
>> that was the end of the painting.
26:47
>> Now, the town won't let me climb no more
26:50
extension ladders, but I can climb a
26:52
step ladder
26:54
>> cuz the pegs on it are wide enough that
26:57
it don't hurt my foot.
26:58
>> Nice.
26:59
>> But there there's weather coming. I can
27:01
feel it in my foot last night cuz it
27:03
rained up here.
27:05
>> Uh and boy, my foot just started hurting
27:09
like the son of a gun. It's a barometer.
27:12
>> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You know, I've never
27:15
in my whole life met someone who was a
27:17
chimney sweep.
27:18
>> Oh.
27:18
>> I've heard of chimney sweeps, but I
27:20
never
27:22
>> I never have met someone in person. So,
27:24
>> you got to be kidding me.
27:25
>> Not a lot of chimney sweeps in Florida.
27:27
>> Oh. Oh, in Florida. No. Yeah, I'm from
27:31
Florida. So, well,
27:32
>> you know, if you were an umbrella maker
27:36
>> then you could be a millionaire.
27:38
>> They say it's the lightning capital of
27:39
the world, Central Florida.
27:41
>> Well, my parents, they had a condo in
27:44
Tampa.
27:45
>> So, every Easter or Christmas vacation,
27:48
we'd head to Florida.
27:51
We were the only ones in the Gulf.
27:54
>> Oh, yeah.
27:54
>> Everybody else,
27:56
>> they thought it was cold.
27:56
>> It was too cold.
27:59
But anyway,
28:00
>> well, nice talking to you. My name's
28:01
Adam.
28:02
>> My name's Mark.
28:03
>> Nice to meet you, Mark. Thanks for
28:04
talking to me. Have a great day. We were
28:06
going to get some coffee, but they're
28:07
closed.
28:08
>> Yeah, these people, they have the
28:11
weirdest damn hours. It's a weekend.
28:14
>> Well, I notice a lot of stuff in town is
28:17
I notice a lot of the businesses are
28:19
>> This business right here and across the
28:22
street in the bars,
28:24
>> they're the ones that are open.
28:26
>> That's what's open.
28:28
Well, nice talking to you.
28:29
>> Nice talking to you.
28:30
>> Hope you have a great day. Yes, too. You
28:32
s You, too, sir.
28:40
He was very friendly.
28:40
This is the town dump.
28:43
That's what it says right there. The
28:45
town dump.
28:48
It's
28:48
>> a nice looking dump.
28:49
>> Old antique shop.
28:52
Have you ever met a chimney sweep in
28:54
your life? I never have. That is so
28:56
cool. made the onem commute up the side
28:59
of the not a mountain but up the side of
29:00
a really high incline hill to the
29:03
pioneer cemetery dating back to 1863
29:07
established on a 40 acre site.
29:16
I'll try to learn a little bit of
29:16
history here from the brochure that I
29:18
got from the museum. So, it's kind of
29:21
through the woods in a
29:23
like you have the kind of the overgrowth
29:25
in the trees and you have these walking
29:27
paths where people have trotten down the
29:32
the grass
29:34
and you just have
29:36
people laid to rest all through here.
29:39
But it's scattered up the side of this
29:41
mountain.
30:03
Samuel Bokard passed on in 1920.
30:03
Doesn't have a birth date, but it does
30:06
say his age of 52 years.
31:03
This is Wallace. This is kind of an
31:03
unusual type of headstone on this one.
31:10
But over here, one of the ones that's on
31:10
the
31:12
brochure is Gall Brief,
31:16
the family plot.
31:34
She jumped out of a wagon
31:34
and ascended
31:36
down a steep summit, broke her neck.
32:14
Number nine is Francis Evangelene
32:14
is the closest link to the discovery of
32:17
gold in Grimes Creek. And speaking of
32:22
creeks and rivers,
32:24
where I did the intro started off at the
32:27
Moore River was named after Marian
32:30
Moore, which is right here.
32:41
He came to town in 1862
32:41
to the basin. Founded Moorstown just
32:44
east of Idaho City as well.
32:49
So kind of a little call back to the
32:51
beginning of the day on that little
32:53
bridge we were on overlooking the Moore
32:56
River. Mary Piney
33:05
was the wife and closest link
33:05
was the wife of James Piney. Let me read
33:08
that. Reread that. And closest link to
33:10
Boise City in the cemetery. James Piney,
33:14
her husband,
33:16
which I'm not sure where he is, but his
33:18
wife is here. He was the postmaster in
33:21
1863.
33:28
Mary's here. I don't know where her
33:28
husband is.
33:31
Look at this iron work.
33:35
That is something.
33:43
This one does not have a number or
33:43
information on it.
33:56
You don't usually see this on on
33:56
headstones
33:58
showing exactly how long he lived.
34:02
Years, months, and days. I don't know if
34:05
I've ever seen that before. This entire
34:07
property is 40 acres. Massive. And
34:11
you'll notice they're not kind of
34:13
stacked right next to each other.
34:15
They've all got plenty of space between
34:17
plots,
34:20
which is a little uncommon for most
34:23
you know, for most cemeteries.
34:26
You just see how much space there is
34:27
between this one and the next one, which
34:30
are all over here.
35:08
One last one before we head out. Number
35:08
15 is Edward Hullbrook,
35:11
who no longer has an identifiable spot,
35:14
but there is a marker here. And I'll
35:16
show what they say in the in the book.
35:19
And the reason I wanted to show this cuz
35:20
we were just on Main Street and he
35:23
passed away on Main Street
35:26
due to a dispute. Hullbrook a gunfight
35:30
in 1870.
35:41
That's where
35:41
he's laid to rest. There's just no
35:42
headstone anymore.
35:45
Right on Main Street where we just were.
35:47
Some scenic views up here. Look at these
35:49
trees.
36:11
We have made it. Life at the cauldron.
36:11
Hot springs provide a unique habitat for
36:13
plants and animals as well as natural
36:15
quote spas for people.
36:18
There's like a few right here. Really
36:21
scenic
36:23
scenic area for these.
36:29
Oh, they're all down the side of the
36:29
river.
36:30
>> Yeah, they're all up here. See all that
36:31
water coming down there? That's all hot.
36:34
>> Really hot hot water. So, the ones up
36:37
top are the really hot and then the ones
36:39
are right down by the river. They're
36:40
usually cooler cuz the river.
36:42
>> So, this right here is all hot water.
36:44
>> Hot. Yeah.
36:50
>> So, we'll go down here and we'll climb
36:50
across over there into those pool.
37:04
>> All right. Round two. I made the mistake
37:04
of buying a cheap pair of flip-flops.
37:06
And the flip-flops were such complete
37:08
garbage and my feet kept slipping out of
37:10
them. And I tried walking on the rocks
37:12
without anything underneath my soles of
37:15
my feet. My feet are not acclimated to
37:17
walking on rocks by itself. But having
37:19
the flip-flops on, I kept sliding out of
37:21
them. That was awkward for me. Probably
37:24
awkward for my sister watching that from
37:25
a distance. So I've thrown my Crocs on
37:29
and I'm just going to go with the Crocs
37:31
and then I'll have to just wash them and
37:34
dry them later. They're going to get
37:35
wet. But
37:37
my feet feel a million times more
37:39
comfortable than those $8 flip-flops I
37:40
got from the gas station a minute ago.
37:42
So, which way should we go now?
37:44
>> We're going up.
37:45
>> Everyone's like looking at me like,
37:47
"What is wrong with this guy? Does he
37:48
not know how to walk?"
37:56
Cuz the flip-flops were like so cheap
37:56
that the top of them was like walking.
37:58
It was like so slick. It like defeated
38:00
the purpose. pulled out the one time
38:04
[laughter] flat tire.
38:15
I made it out to this little grotto now
38:15
with the hot water pouring off.
38:20
You can feel how hot that is.
38:28
And you got some cool river water there
38:28
as well. The river is nice and cool.
38:31
Then you get over here. So this is cold.
38:34
But then right over past these rocks,
38:36
scaldingly hot,
38:38
>> right?
38:40
>> Scaldingly hot right here. And this is
38:41
like
38:43
not hot
38:45
at all. This is a
38:48
little hike down here. Wear appropriate
38:50
shoes. Don't do what I did and buy $9
38:53
flip-flops from a gas station that are
38:55
just complete garbage a mile down the
38:56
road.
38:58
This is the hottest right here.
39:38
a slightly odd feeling where I'm sitting
39:38
cuz this is cold water here and then hot
39:42
water is coming out this way down the
39:44
mountain. So it's like the hot water
39:46
stops here and then the clash with the
39:48
cold. If this half of my body is in hot
39:51
water, that half is in cold water.
40:04
This leg is cold. This leg is warm.
40:04
Yeah. Look at all those people coming
40:07
in. Everyone's heading down now.
40:09
Tons of people are coming down this way.
40:11
We got to hold our ground. We got to
40:13
hold our pool.
40:22
So, hot water right here. Cold water
40:22
right there.
40:24
Oh, this this is how it's done. It's
40:27
like careening myself in between this
40:29
boulder right here. Let me flip this
40:32
around.
40:44
>> ah, comfortable.
40:44
>> Comfortable.
40:45
>> I just realized I should probably take
40:47
my shirt off because it's going to be
40:48
soaking wet when we drive back.
40:50
Originally,
40:52
we got our bag there. Originally, I was
40:55
going to take the shirt off, but then I
40:57
slipped down earlier because I was
40:58
wearing those flip-flops. I was sliding
41:01
down like a water slide.
41:03
So, now now I now I got to dry the shirt
41:06
off. Right there in the sun. I'm in the
41:08
shade still. We're in the shade. Do not
41:10
know what the temperature is of the
41:11
water pouring down here, but it is warm.
41:14
It's hitting my lower back. It's like
41:17
hotter than any hot Well, probably as
41:18
hot as a hot tub. Maybe even a little
41:20
hotter than a hot tub.
41:24
The thing is, you never got to go hit
41:26
the reset for the bubbles on this. It
41:28
just constantly goes down the mountain.
41:31
So afraid everyone's going to slip and
41:33
fall. Everyone's Yeah, my feet are nice
41:35
and lukewarm.
41:37
And my buttocks are hot.
41:46
I don't know why I'm shaking my legs
41:46
like that, but
42:40
the water.
42:40
>> I feel a waterfall right here. All
42:42
right, we got our hot water quota for
42:44
the day. We stood underneath the
42:47
waterfall for a good while. I felt like
42:49
we were taking the hottest shower ever.
42:51
Just look how many people are down in
42:52
that pool down there. It's like 30
42:54
people crammed in down there. So, had to
42:57
be cautious with filming everything down
42:59
there. So, I didn't want to show people
43:01
up close down the pool. Yeah, pretty
43:05
pretty neat.
43:07
Word of warning, if you show up here, do
43:09
not wear the cheapest flip-flops you can
43:11
find going down the side of this. Put
43:15
some better shoes on. Even Even Crocs.
43:17
What do you call it? Sport mode.
43:18
>> Yeah,
43:20
>> in sport mode. Way better.
43:22
Way better. Weird. Weird of warning.
43:26
This is a little treacherous.
43:29
Meanwhile, these guys are just jumping
43:31
off and cliff diving over here
43:33
>> with the greatest of ease culprits. No,
43:36
no traction. This got so slick. Probably
43:39
would have been better off just going
43:40
barefoot, but even that wasn't pleasant
43:42
either. So, I made it down there,
43:45
though. I made it down there.
43:47
These are going in the garbage later
43:49
tonight.
