moderately sketchy I'm using using my
3:39
phone flash to illuminate it's very dark
3:42
in here without without it though one
3:45
more looks it looks as if there's one
3:47
more turn to make it up towards the
3:49
lights
3:50
I got startled back there I thought
3:51
there was an animal at the bottom of the
3:54
staircase it was just my imagination
3:57
mission accomplished made it to the
4:00
tippy top the good over

longer serving tacos it's been a while
4:23
since this diner had a customer prices
4:27
were pretty reasonable small coffee only
4:30
set you back 85 cents when your order
4:33
was ready would have been illuminated on
4:36
one of those numbers and the chef would
4:39
have handed it to the waitress over this
4:41
counter from the outside pretty unique
4:59
looking place tough to see them in the
5:02
darkness but the gift shop has these
5:08
stagecoach displays where they had the
5:10
merchandise hanging on the audio
5:13
collection cassettes Oh everything's
5:17

5:55
of that size by stepping inside we are
5:59
crossing the state line this is the
6:02
Arizona New Mexico State Line might be
6:04
tough to see them because of the shadow
6:05
but in the cliff itself there's some old
6:10
cave dwellings up in there see them up
6:14
there little puppies are dwelling out
6:17

8:04
evening but must be moving on at one
8:07
point this particular section was
8:10
designated route 666 but according to
8:20
the story lawmakers did not want to be

9:19
preserved but you can only now walk
9:22
across it if you were to drive a vehicle
