5:17
along his donkey he's being very
5:20
stubborn he doesn't does it really want
5:22
to move this whole property was once
5:24
owned by husband and wife who originally
5:27
blasted holes in the side of the
5:29
mountain and lived here had a homestead
5:31
and when they passed away they were laid
5:34
to rest right up here in this cavern the
5:38
Kristen since Albert died in 1957 but
5:41
his wife kept the place running
5:44
opened a trading post and she eventually
5:47
passed away in 1974 according to this
5:50
sign Bigfoot is down here in the shrub
5:53
areas down in the shrub sets oh I get it
5:57
it's just a it's just a Bigfoot don't
5:59
quite understand this however US Army
6:03
property no trespassing but if I peek
6:07
over the fence line there's some sort of
6:10
weird chair something that you put on
6:13
your head and this mechanism is States
6:19
experimental hairdo machine oh it's just
6:23
for it's for doing hair you know the
6:25
more I stare at mater
6:27
I think it's an imposter eita valerie
6:30
has not visited the dentist's in a while
6:32
he's only got one and large tooth I
6:37
don't think this is mater there's a
6:39
gentleman up there and a bucket being
6:41
hoisted to the top of a mountain
6:44
he's a miner I said been tough being a
6:47
miner whenever you use the facilities
6:51
you'd always have the mind boss above
6:54
you also using the restroom you know
6:58
what they say you're done goes downhill
7:02
yeah cross this place has a little bit
7:05
of everything including an outdoor jail
7:08
tiny concrete Buffalo and even a knight
7:12
see him over there hiding in the shadows
7:20
he's got a weapon it's just barely out
7:20
of the open elements are these two
7:23
vintage arcade games round up and miss
7:27
pac-man sadly neither one of them are
7:30
working almost like a miniature Mount
7:32
Rushmore
7:32
there's FDR carved on the side just
7:37
staring out just there now you can see
7:39
where they place the rooms inside where
7:42
they blasted out the holes I think you
7:44
can go inside there 5,000 square-foot
7:47
home yep a 12-minute tour is available
7:52
however this doesn't look good wham wham
7:54
wham where decided to go ahead and do
7:56
the tour anyway after paying the
7:58
admission price and entering into the
8:00
former diner that is now a gift shop you
8:02
see behind me they took me into a big
8:04
open area that was the homestead and
8:06
inside that huge room there are three
8:09
rock pillars that act not only as
8:12
structural support but also for room
8:15
dividers
8:15
when you first enter was the former
8:18
seating area where the guests would eat
8:20
their meals you have to walk through
8:21
there to get to the kitchen and then
8:23
into all the rooms where the family
8:27
resided where I'm now walking used to be
8:29
a very large hole all the rocks that
8:33
were inside they took out placed here to
8:35
elevate this added pavement and
8:39
you got a parking lot not really sure
8:41
why they don't allow filming but at
8:43
least I can always say I've been inside
8:44
the hole in the rock just down the ways
8:48
a bit is this archway natural formation
8:53
check that out Wow sipping right along
8:57
we should be getting pretty close to one
8:59
of my favorite places Monument Valley
9:01
right up there is one of the iconic
9:03
pieces of this area's landscape referred
9:06
to and known as the Mexican Hat Rock if
9:10
all goes well about two miles down this
9:12
dirt road should be a remnant of movie
9:15
history from 1968 I'm really curious to
9:20
see if it still exists out here in the
9:23
desert
9:23
holy crap it's still here the archway
9:28
from once upon a time in the Old West
9:30
starring Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson
9:33
or at least a portion of the arch Wow
9:37
look at that
9:37
of course in the film it went all the
9:39
way across completing the arch and this
9:45
is where the famous scene with the
9:47
harmonica and the hanging took place
9:51
there was a dolly shot that pullback
9:54
wide and went kind of high from what I
10:00
can tell this
10:02
there's also sections of concrete they
10:05
laid down to do that dolly shot on
10:10
amazing that's the screenshot Monument
10:14
Valley in the back and there's there's
10:17
the arch that image was also used in
10:20
even one of the movie posters check that
10:23
out pieces of wood there in the middle
10:25
angled upward where it would have gone
10:28
across and you can see how they built it
10:31
by looking down inside it's pretty much
10:34
hollow down in there whatever whatever
10:40
happened to the rest of it what happened
10:43
to the top section pretty crazy to think
10:45
that this is half a century old 50 years
10:48
old these have just been out here
10:51
braving the elements in the middle of
10:54
the desert I love stuff like this this
11:00
is good stuff heck yeah
11:09
more pieces of the wood here at the base
11:09
they built a frame completely out of
11:12
lumber and then put the brick around it
11:16
to complete the task I'll put the link
11:18
from the clip from the movie in the
11:20
description box if you want to watch it
11:22
and get a better perspective of what
11:25
you're currently looking at you can
11:26
definitely see why they chose that spot
11:28
way up on the hill looking down upon
11:29
that view for a Western does it get much
11:33
better of a backdrop and that's gonna do
11:36
