March 11
0:06
2023. welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:10
behind me is a big horned Ram
0:13
this is not a real one but supposedly in
0:16
this neck of the woods there are some
0:17
live ones which I'm hoping to be able to
0:20
see and there's another one sitting
0:22
right over here
0:24
well yeah they're sitting right here
0:27
and next to that ramp is danny702. hello
0:31
we are getting properly caffeinated at
0:33
the moment yes was it too far of a drive
0:36
from Vegas over here like a half hour
0:38
yeah and I think from the Las Vegas
0:40
Strip maybe like 20 minutes it was
0:41
pretty quick yeah traffic was good Tom
0:44
devlin's monster museum is going to be
0:46
the first thing on our agenda I've never
0:48
been to it have you ever been there
0:50
we're gonna see some monsters I'm
0:52
wearing an appropriate t-shirt here
0:54
Kingdom of the spiders and you kind of
0:57
you're kind of looking like you would be
0:59
like fit for a monster Museum wearing a
1:01
used shirt which kind of looks like
1:03
had like a monstery type font yeah like
1:05
horror movie-ish look at this cool it's
1:07
a classic truck alert
1:09
right there
1:11
all right then we're gonna see some
1:12
other stuff there's also a Area 52 place
1:16
that you found out online we're going to
1:17
try to go by there see a flying saucer
1:19
perhaps see me and got coffee and maybe
1:22
a bite to eat who knows I'm just winging
1:23
it is Hoover Dam pretty close have you
1:25
noticed with most of my videos I just
1:27
kind of have no game plan that's okay
1:29
there's tons to do
1:31
d-a-n-i 702 her stuff is a lot more
1:34
uniform and organized than my videos
1:36
usually even today I'm pretty chaotic
1:38
you're just chaos all right we're just
1:41
winging it again we're winging it I'm
1:42
inviting you to join me and danny702.
1:46
so yesterday you did it
1:49
I didn't I was like she's gonna do it
1:50
she's not gonna do it you did it
1:53
all right Ram
1:55
a Ram at the dam
1:58
maybe we'll see a rama today and we're
1:59
gonna we're gonna buy the Hoover Dam too
2:00
probably most likely and if you're
2:02
looking for this place just look for the
2:04
extended hearse here
2:06
right out in front saying Tom devlin's
2:09
monster Museum the world famous monster
2:13
Museum it has the Vegas logo there not
2:15
too far from Vegas let's say probably if
2:17
traffic was really bad it'd probably
2:18
take an hour but we got over here in
2:20
about a half hour
2:28
one thing I was not expecting was this
2:28
to be right on a main thoroughfare for
2:30
some reason in my mind based on photos
2:32
and other videos I've seen of this place
2:34
I thought it was kind of kind to be out
2:36
and not necessarily in the middle of
2:38
nowhere but not on a very busy street
2:42
like this but it is right here off to
2:44
the side
2:45
there's even a zoltar machine up there I
2:48
saw one of those yesterday
2:49
and then out front Frankenstein's
2:52
monster I call him Frankie I call them
2:54
Frank and Frankenstein for short even
2:56
though a lot of people call them
2:57
Frankenstein's monster I think it's
2:58
appropriate to call them Frankenstein
3:00
you got the bride up top
3:02
and then here is a
3:05
that might be a version of Tom Devlin as
3:07
Frankenstein right there and he got the
3:09
Swamp Thing over there check it out
3:11
I think that's the sequel to The Swamp
3:13
Thing I think that was a swamp thing too
3:15
where the Swamp Thing returns
3:17
out front
3:21
then he got one of the ectos over here
3:21
in the corner and plenty
3:24
not only sharp fangs but pumpkins in the
3:28
back of here
3:29
it's a pumpkin patch
3:31
and there's some sort of leather face up
3:33
there over here in this corner
3:35
another Frankenstein and there's Ash
3:38
right there blowing in the wind
3:44
y visited this place for years
3:44
for years I've been wanting to go here
3:45
and I finally made it finally made it
3:47
over to this area
3:57
take a look over here so you go past
3:57
zoltar speaks there is
4:00
Children of the Corn
4:03
Children of the cornhole
4:09
yes
4:16
oh that was a fail that was a big fail
4:16
usually I'm pretty good at this but
4:23
oh that's pretty close all right here's
4:23
something I did not realize I think you
4:24
were kind of hinting at this yesterday
4:26
that it was somewhere near Vegas but
4:28
zoltar was made created and born here in
4:32
Boulder City
4:34
I had no idea
4:41
zoltar everybody thinks they're big
4:41
he's like a zoltar
4:43
what about dude dude where's my car is
4:46
that his little town was that in Dude
4:48
Where's My Car when they're like you
4:51
know
5:00
I think they're cousins now when you
5:00
first walk in there is an arcade off to
5:03
the side where they have attack of the
5:05
claw and they have have the House of the
5:07
Dead Two by Sega then there's also a
5:10
return of the swap thing over there in
5:12
the distance as well and then of course
5:13
in the main entrance where you pay a
5:14
mission to get in and all that there's
5:16
some autographs on the wall you know
5:18
from different horror celebrities and
5:20
whatnot there's merchandise there's like
5:22
masks all kinds of different things in
5:24
here you walk up pay the admission price
5:26
to get in and then you just kind of go
5:27
through and prepare yourself for the
5:29
horror of Boulder City Nevada
5:32
the monster museum style okay we are now
5:36
stepping in we have gone through the
5:37
door into the monster Museum into this
5:40
little area over here that's kind of
5:42
like everything's kind of theme so you
5:43
can get some photos you got the Texas
5:45
Chainsaw here with the hook right up top
5:48
here you got the chainsaw down here and
5:50
the hammer yeah if you ever wanted to
5:51
imitate leather face you got the you got
5:53
the chainsaw right there which is yeah
5:54
that's that's kind of horrifying and
5:56
down below a little little secrets here
5:57
with the fake rocks here made of
5:58
Styrofoam it says the entrance is right
6:00
through here with this ghoulish creature
6:02
saying come on in this is good photos
6:05
and videos are permitted they just ask
6:07
please no flash do not touch the
6:09
monsters and they won't touch you have a
6:12
great time with the creatures cadavers
6:14
Freaks and creeps all right here we go
6:15
we got Frankenstein right over here and
6:17
directly behind Frankenstein of course
6:19
the mummy over here Boris karloff's The
6:22
Mummy and there's like little
6:23
information placards and whatnot that
6:25
kind of teach you and show you different
6:26
things on what everything is I almost
6:28
feel like I'm at hhn right now and
6:30
expecting us to kind of like jump out at
6:32
me and like like actually be like a
6:33
scare actor over here around the back is
6:35
a claw machine full of pumpkins
6:39
also
6:40
skateboarding is allowed here because
6:42
it's fun
6:43
so I'm gonna have to do a little voice
6:45
over here on the porch and describe us
6:46
there's a there's a lot of music inside
6:48
from horror films and whatnot just kind
6:51
of like do a quick little
6:52
short little walkthrough I was hoping
6:54
Tom would be here today but he's
6:56
elsewhere but I would love to return at
6:57
some point and get a little tour inside
7:00
and show off some of the stuff that he
7:01
has not only made but also movies that
7:04
he has worked on
7:06
so my favorite things decided to just
7:07
kind of kind of talk about as I scroll
7:09
through a little b-roll footage
7:11
is the from Eternal Living Dead that you
7:14
need a medical supply they have like he
7:16
has like the the guy that's in the in
7:18
the I came here was called like the the
7:20
tar man or the the zombie from Return
7:24
that's just kind of what I always
7:25
referred to him as but as you're kind of
7:27
going through this it's like very iconic
7:29
films
7:30
you know through the horror genre
7:32
obviously there's Kruger and there's
7:34
Michael Myers there's also Grandpa from
7:36
Texas Chainsaw a Leatherface and all
7:39
that there's also Leatherface
7:41
with the the red backdrop with all the
7:43
you know the cow horns and whatnot from
7:45
the first film one of my favorite my
7:47
favorite Horrors is what and whatnot and
7:49
the different in incarnations of
7:50
Leatherface throughout it as well
7:53
and then you go into a whole area of
7:55
Friday the 13th you know the Jason
7:57
Voorhees different eras of Jason
7:59
Voorhees not just one particular movie
8:01
but spanning the whole genre you know
8:04
from the first one through Jason in
8:06
space I even believe some of those I
8:08
think Gremlins 2 the new batch so I
8:10
guess there was two of these which was
8:12
like the gremlin spider and the spider
8:15
wasn't even as far as I could tell was
8:17
not in the finished film and there was
8:19
two of these Tom did not make this but
8:22
there was another one that was an
8:23
animatronic that was destroyed on set
8:24
and this is the prop from that it was
8:27
going to be used for like the still
8:28
photos and the still the still parts
8:30
from Gremlins 2 the spider Gremlin if
8:33
you will and after you go past the
8:34
spider Gremlin you go pass into a
8:36
Hellraiser section with a couple of pin
8:39
heads and things like that and then you
8:40
go past Berryman from The Hills Have
8:42
Eyes you kind of walk through past there
8:44
and then of course one of my my
8:46
favorites with the obey side
8:48
you know uh I'm here to chew gobble I'm
8:50
here to shoot bubble gum kick ass the
8:53
whole Rowdy Roddy Piper from they live
8:55
they have the has like the quote on the
8:57
side of the wall but then they have the
8:58
the creatures from that as well and then
9:00
you got
9:01
killer clowns and you got Ghoulies
9:04
coming out of the the bottom of the
9:06
commode and then Pennywise it and then
9:09
there's a whole area of you're also
9:11
allowed to film in here but you just
9:12
can't take flash photos there's a whole
9:14
area of different movies that Devlin
9:16
worked on a lot of the Puppet Master
9:20
as well kind of
9:22
showcasing the in all the different
9:23
cases all the way through and going it's
9:26
definitely a pretty extensive area you
9:28
go through and you see Reagan from The
9:29
Exorcist and then you get toxic from the
9:31
Toxic Avenger
9:32
so you kind of kind of focus on I guess
9:35
not really necessarily worthy of a
9:37
strobe light warning but there's a
9:38
couple of flickering lights as you're
9:39
kind of going through here as well and
9:41
then The Wolf Man
9:42
Lon Chaney Jr The Wolf Man there's also
9:44
the Creature from the Black Lagoon
9:47
and then the monsters there's a whole
9:49
section of the monsters as well
9:52
Critters as well as like close-up of one
9:54
of the critters
9:55
and also Creep Show as well this is just
9:58
kind of like I guess the best of the
10:00
museum it really definitely something
10:01
you have to kind of come in and
10:03
experience on your own and you end it
10:04
you end it Nosferatu but then after
10:07
Nosferatu there's like a whole section
10:09
which I was told by the guy working at
10:10
the front desk that is a new area that
10:13
they have created into a theater there's
10:15
like a whole theater that you can kind
10:17
of go through and they'll they'll play
10:19
different stuff they had like a clip of
10:20
Tom savini explaining like how he makes
10:22
his monsters and whatnot so you can just
10:24
sit here and enjoy like learning about
10:27
how the movies are made and I guess
10:28
maybe if they do like movie premieres
10:30
here or maybe they do certain movie
10:31
nights there's also a haunt that takes
10:34
place here in October which I'd love to
10:35
come back for that one day as well to
10:37
come back for the hot all in all
10:39
definitely worth stopping off and I will
10:41
be back hopefully I can come back when
10:42
Tom's here and he can kind of show me
10:44
some of the stuff and get like a
10:46
personal tour I'd love to do that at
10:47
some time but glad I stopped off
10:49
everybody want to come here for a long
10:50
time I ended up purchasing a t-shirt
10:52
it's like fed it was there's actually
10:54
some pretty good merch in there there's
10:56
another one I wanted to get but I
10:58
couldn't decide on which one to buy this
11:00
one's cool because you can totally see
11:01
the name I know there's there's a couple
11:03
other ones that I really wanted to get
11:05
but it stands out I went with this one I
11:06
like the green fangs what did you think
11:09
of the museum
11:10
yeah scary in there it was really spooky
11:13
yeah like I said I kept thinking one of
11:14
the models were gonna jump out I think
11:16
because they had they had the music
11:17
really all the music from the movies
11:18
blaringly loud it kind of added to the
11:20
Ambiance yeah and every time you got a
11:22
little bit ahead of me like I would get
11:23
really myself
11:31
you know you think about this place you
11:31
could really sink your teeth into it you
11:32
can really sink your teeth into it also
11:34
got a sticker as well you know it's in
11:36
this bag here let me show the sticker
11:38
if I can get it out of here I think it's
11:39
in the bag what's in the bag here it is
11:46
so they do a hot here every October also
11:49
so they do like they do like a full
11:51
haunt yeah I'm coming back you should
11:53
come back to that in October all right
12:10
oh nice all right you got one in the
12:10
hole not on the board after three
12:29
oh we both got one in the whole age and
12:29
I got one on the board Children of the
12:32
cornhole
12:39
oh this says beware a vampire on top of
12:39
this here
12:46
a monster
12:51
of course the creature
12:51
a lot of creature nods in there
12:56
which is awesome
12:57
it was kind of like the shirt I just got
12:58
got the teeth on it
13:04
yeah if you're in to the horror genre I
13:04
highly recommend if you're near Vegas
13:08
it's about 30 miles it's about a half
13:09
hour say an hour with traffic
13:12
Tom devlin's monster Museum
13:13
highly recommend really really awesome
13:15
Place movie props
13:18
Creations you know things that he worked
13:20
on but also creations of famous films
13:22
that he also designed
13:24
not it not to not screen used but stuff
13:27
that just he did as homages to those
13:29
films that you kind of do to walk
13:31
through
13:32
I will be back at some point here I will
13:34
definitely be back
13:36
get a little detail walk through it
13:37
would be fun
13:49
tell neon signs like the El Rancho
13:49
Boulder there
13:51
we are now downtown I guess this would
13:54
be the downtown Boulder City there's a
13:57
place called Flying Saucer well this is
13:59
the Flying Saucer not at Area 51 but at
14:02
Area 52 you can kind of stick your head
14:05
up right through there pretend you're in
14:07
the Flying Saucer itself
14:27
I think yours turned out better I think
14:27
I went too far up
14:29
oh really I think I went too far up into
14:31
the Pod there you go
14:39
alien highway Area 52 exposed look at
14:39
this little plastic alien here
14:41
aliens are us Hoover Dam Lake Mead
14:44
Boulder City Nevada
14:55
oh is this a Far Side I can't tell that
14:55
scary Larson or not I'm probably not
14:57
those kind of Gary larson-esque oh there
14:59
we go that's Gary Larson right there
15:02
yeah I love Far Side
15:11
across the way over here
15:13
kind of an Indian jewelry place
15:16
off of the distance also the
15:19
wow look what's on sale
15:30
here
15:30
looks to be a real alien
15:34
inside this window right there
15:39
take a look
15:41
we come in peace oh you do
15:44
okay good it's good
15:49
but not want to be around you if you
15:50
weren't going and pee coming in peace
16:12
kind of a cute little downtown area look
16:15
at these Turtles here
16:18
this is a very unusual enter and exit
16:21
sign down here so it says enter and exit
16:24
over the top of each other but then you
16:27
can't because there's this big tree in
16:28
the way so there's an arrow going exit
16:30
and enter
16:31
the enter is written over the exit and
16:34
vice versa but you can't go either way
16:35
because there's this tree
16:44
I think that's because of the aliens
16:44
oh you wouldn't know which way to go
16:47
like going in going out
16:51
do either
16:51
yeah you can't it's just there's a tree
16:53
there and then there's a flag saucer
16:55
right there I really like this little
16:56
downtown stretch through here
16:58
just the vibe of this place is cool they
17:00
got candy and fudge homemade ice cream
17:02
and malts and check out this old neon
17:05
this Cafe Great American food at the
17:07
coffee cup right over there there's a
17:09
lot of different sculptures around town
17:10
giving some of the different jobs when
17:12
they were building the Hoover Dam some
17:14
of them more mundane than others like
17:16
this gentleman here who was responsible
17:19
for keeping the outhouses kept and
17:22
supplied with paper and swept out so
17:25
they have this little sculpture and
17:27
homage to this guy who would take toilet
17:31
paper and fill all the outhouses up
17:33
during the construction of the Hoover
17:34
Dam
17:36
he's got his broom up there for sweeping
17:38
up the outhouses and then he's just got
17:40
a whole roll of toilet paper here to
17:43
fill the nothing worse than going an
17:45
outhouse and not having toilet paper the
17:48
other thing you think most about are the
17:49
guys who are like you know bringing the
17:51
concrete
17:53
things like that you know the the jobs
17:54
that you would the first and foremost
17:56
you think would be more important but
17:57
really probably nothing more important
17:58
than supplying toilet paper
18:02
I mean that's like yeah if you don't
18:03
have a fresh roll of toilet paper this
18:05
you don't have a good you don't have a
18:06
good day on the job
18:08
toilet paper guy
18:17
what did you just notice was right next
18:17
to this
18:18
the public restrooms are right here not
18:21
an outhouse but the public restrooms are
18:24
right here
18:28
coincidence
18:28
I think not
18:31
and since we're close to the Hoover Dam
18:32
everything kind of has the word
18:35
damn in the name so you got the feather
18:37
here that up top say you have this like
18:39
this bookstore it's the Bratz the damn
18:42
roast house and Browder bookstore
18:45
everything's got the name you know it's
18:47
got this very clever play on words
18:48
Boulder City Fire Department going by
18:51
and there are zoltars everywhere around
18:54
here there's also
18:55
this Leo the Lion
18:58
for 50 cents you can ride from Bonnie
19:00
Springs Ranch enjoy a piece of history
19:02
with Leo the Lion and there's a lot of
19:05
zoltar I've never seen so many zoltars
19:07
in a square mile footage they're just
19:09
like they're only they're everywhere
19:10
look at this classic vintage one too
19:12
this horse
19:13
okay you see these in front of
19:15
supermarkets probably too heavy to ride
19:16
on these now though and here is a tiki
19:19
zoltar Zoltan of sorts too this is
19:21
called the Big Kahuna and he's got like
19:23
a tiki shirt on I got Trader vix and
19:25
everything on there too this piece of
19:26
artwork is called wild one right here uh
19:28
fighting a motorcycle oh goodness wow
19:31
what is going on here this bear is going
19:33
after this mountain man this mountain
19:35
ran right here has got a frying pan oh
19:37
and I just saw the ambulance for Boulder
19:39
City Fire Department here comes the fire
19:41
truck rolling through as well but look
19:43
at this horse right here is very
19:45
disturbed by this bear coming out to
19:47
this mountain man who just had some
19:48
breakfast obviously this has got the
19:50
frying pan up top he's got the Epic
19:52
beard kicking right there as well this
19:56
is
19:57
this is titled if it isn't one thing
19:59
it's your mother
20:01
if it isn't one thing it's your mother
20:04
which one's the mother the bear or the
20:07
horse
20:08
or the Mountain Man with the frying pan
20:10
that reminds me of Tangled
20:11
remember how the female lead in Tangled
20:14
she would always have the frying pan
20:16
Rapunzel
20:23
oh he does
20:23
who's the mother though I don't
20:25
understand this Hulk is a little baby
20:26
cub down here
20:28
oh maybe maybe this is the mother
20:31
and she she is protecting her youth
20:34
interesting oh they even says it right
20:35
here it isn't one thing it's your mother
20:39
on there too we've got to split in a cup
20:42
of coffee yeah all right let's see
20:44
what's going on he just he's having
20:45
caffeine withdrawals because he sees
20:47
down here the bear has stepped in his
20:49
coffee pot okay I know that I totally
20:51
understand that face this is titled egg
20:54
sided excited it's like Humpty Dumpty
20:57
but instead of sitting on a wall he's
20:58
sitting on books
21:00
discovering the unexpect expected
21:04
Off the Wall thinking an exciting
21:07
Solutions
21:09
that
21:15
I've been a loss for words this is a
21:15
desert tortoise
21:20
and the Boulder Theater is right up here
21:20
it doesn't look like it's playing
21:21
anything it says God Bless America and a
21:24
very vintage retro looking Boulder City
21:26
Florida sign next to it in fact I don't
21:29
even know if the theater is even still
21:30
open anymore it looks like it's just a
21:31
floor shop now this is where the theater
21:33
used to be in the sign
21:35
still there I've seen The Blues Brothers
21:37
over here I'm seeing Maryland I'm seeing
21:39
Elvis Presley I'm seeing a pirate and
21:41
I'm also seeing Darth Vader over there
21:43
in the corner as well Vader
21:50
all right it appears as if it really is
21:50
still a theater it's just all fenced off
21:53
right now it's not open at the moment
21:54
but it appears as if the theater's still
21:56
tucked away
21:57
back in here there are some leaves down
21:59
in there so I don't know if they're
22:00
still doing movies
22:01
or anything maybe it's just a it might
22:03
not be a movie theater maybe it's just
22:05
like a theater for play it's on the
22:06
national register of historic places as
22:08
shown on that sign right there
22:11
Master registry of certain places not
22:13
going anywhere
22:21
there's a bird up there
22:21
I lost couple Birds
22:23
hello bird
22:28
talk to you second High
22:30
very talkative
22:35
all right bro we're gonna see if we can
22:37
go find some Longhorn sheep or Rams over
22:41
in the park
22:43
oh they're still over there
22:45
they are okay thank you
22:47
the bird said that we could probably go
22:49
see the Rams and the Sheep
22:51
I believe in him
22:58
now according to some
22:58
you go over here and park at hemenway
23:00
Park Boulder City Nevada you'll be able
23:03
to see
23:04
some sheep parking area
23:07
supposedly they come out here and they
23:09
graze
23:10
along the grass but I don't see any
23:12
sheep out here at the moment we're gonna
23:14
walk around see what we can find relax
23:16
and enjoy the wildlife of Boulder City
23:18
here at Heaven Way Park
23:20
one of the only places in the world
23:21
where you can see desert bighorn sheep
23:24
this close as they Journey down from the
23:26
river mountains into the park
23:28
sheep are normally active during warm
23:30
months okay that maybe that's not this
23:32
wouldn't be classified as a warm month
23:39
okay we'll get lucky though from up here
23:39
also looking down into the valley pretty
23:40
good view of Lake Mead
23:44
and not too far from here to the Hoover
23:57
they are scouring the mountains here the
23:57
terrain
23:59
for Rams or long horned sheep
24:03
nothing
24:08
people hiking
24:08
a lot of people out here at the park
24:11
but nothing up in the hills I have seen
24:13
them before
24:15
I've seen a ramp before on the side of a
24:17
cliff and it's amazing how they could
24:18
just climb up the side of the steepest
24:21
incline
24:22
like it's nothing you wouldn't just by
24:24
looking at the animal you wouldn't think
24:25
they'd be able to do that but they could
24:27
they could go with like a complete 90
24:29
degree incline and just stand at the top
24:31
of a mountain like it's no big deal
25:21
we're gonna get to the Hoover Dam you
25:21
have to go through this little
25:22
checkpoint up here
25:24
foreign
25:26
station
25:32
I want to drive a car that looks like
25:33
like I want that car what kind of a car
25:35
is that that is a
25:37
I don't know I don't know what that is I
25:40
want it that was a piece of cake
25:43
it's kind of waved us through real quick
25:45
like
25:46
and now heading to the Hoover Dam
25:53
it's going to be windy up there on that
25:54
bridge
25:55
we're going up there is that where
25:57
that's where we're going right is there
25:58
another place to see it without going on
25:59
the bridge
26:05
I'm not familiar so there's the Hoover
26:05
Dam where you like walk across the
26:06
Hoover Dam okay there's the overhead
26:09
bridge going over oh okay I'm down for
26:11
whatever all right I just want to see
26:13
the damn damn
26:31
a lot of people here I know okay we've
26:31
opted to go across the bridge parking
26:33
down here was gonna be patient for the
26:34
parking for someone to pull out and then
26:36
you park here and now we're going up
26:38
these stairs
26:40
to the bridge
26:45
a lot of stairs
26:45
going up that way we have made it up to
26:47
the top
26:51
of the Hoover Dam gonna be walking
26:53
across the bridge which I guess would be
26:54
right across there
26:57
runs parallel this very busy road
27:11
there are some rules number one rule
27:11
act responsibly could not drop topics
27:14
from the bridge
27:15
do not climb on hillsides
27:18
and no animals except service dogs
27:28
this is slightly slightly scary
27:28
I mean you got traffic going to and fro
27:31
at a very rapid speed
27:33
on the side
27:35
of everyone walking by here
27:37
hit her at your own risk I can see why
27:40
look at this
27:42
yeah traffic coming towards us at like
27:44
65 70 miles per hour
27:57
I mean there is this little concrete
27:57
barricade but that's not gonna do much
28:01
incredible
28:01
I haven't been up here in years years
28:04
and years
28:11
breathtaking
28:11
a modern
28:13
Marvel
28:15
construction Marvel look at this it's
28:16
wild
28:19
right look at this
28:21
the fact that something like this exists
28:23
just blows my mind
28:25
thankfully
28:29
the world is not relying on me to create
28:32
things of this magnitude or they just
28:34
wouldn't happen I wouldn't even know how
28:36
to build a two-story house even a
28:38
one-story house let alone a skyscraper
28:40
or a dam this size
28:48
how you feeling
28:48
you nervous up here it's way too high
28:51
yeah it's pretty high
28:53
I will say though I was out here like
28:55
maybe eight or nine years ago and it was
28:58
a lot windier so the wind isn't too bad
29:02
what makes me nervous is the traffic
29:04
going by at rapid speeds and the heights
29:07
yeah you know it's like it's pretty dang
29:09
high it's pretty dang High you know I
29:12
didn't really think about the height
29:13
until you mentioned it I was so worried
29:15
about the traffic
29:34
may not yet only get as close as you're
29:34
comfortable getting closer to it that's
29:36
made us pretty it's pretty high
29:39
so you were saying what do you think is
29:41
taller the stratosphere or this
29:48
I don't really know I would say the
29:48
stratosphere is taller yeah the
29:50
stratosphere is a lot taller what a mess
29:53
Stratosphere was like a thousand one
29:54
hundred feet I believe
29:56
check some dimensions on the way out
29:58
just see exactly how far I'm going to
29:59
say the stratosphere is considerably
30:01
taller than this
30:10
whatever I think of this Dam it's like a
30:10
Superman the movie Jimmy Olsen
30:13
dangling from the side
30:16
during the earthquake scene Jimmy Olsen
30:18
right up there
30:21
obviously Vegas vacation as well to go
30:23
to the they go here
30:29
I just think of Jimmy Olsen Superman
30:29
this thing busting apart
30:42
doesn't even seem real it's so far down
30:42
there
31:00
whatever you do
31:00
don't look dead
31:07
did they get the damn picture I got it
31:07
nailed it
31:11
have you ever driven across it
31:13
can we drive across it we should drive
31:16
across you used to that was the way to
31:18
get through before the bridge was here
31:20
oh so before this bridge that we're
31:23
standing on was here yeah you had to go
31:25
over the actual damage yeah
31:32
though you faced your fears oh yeah I'm
31:33
starting to get a little bit more
31:33
comfortable you went to the monster
31:34
Museum which was horrified what was
31:37
scary the monster Museum or this this
31:41
you're getting comfortable though
31:43
I got this thing like wrapped around my
31:44
wrist multiple times
31:46
scary I usually have a big truck rolls
31:48
through the whole Bridge it does it's
31:50
not that windy up here though I've been
31:52
up here in the past where you almost
32:03
there's a lot of people up here look at
32:03
this everybody loves a honk when they go
32:04
through here
32:10
there's a lot of people up here admiring
32:10
handiwork
32:18
of this Modern Marvel incredible
32:18
I mean it's scary being up here but yeah
32:20
it's incredible to look at that's where
32:21
we were we were all the way up there
32:24
oh my goodness
32:26
I think I'm glad we went up there first
32:28
instead of like driving underneath it
32:30
and then get up there because that is up
32:38
we're gonna drive across the bridge that
32:38
is something else we were all the way up
32:40
there Danny
33:14
so you can park up here and walk along
33:14
the
33:16
Edge
33:36
and then right up here are these two
33:36
winged Guardians almost
33:44
that's kind of what those remind me of
33:44
a lot of people up here
33:51
all right we found a parking area up
33:51
here as well so in this section it says
33:53
stay within the parking area do not
33:54
cross the guard rail which is here but
33:57
we're gonna go walk across and I'm gonna
33:59
get the Jimmy Olsen View
34:01
from over there where he was like kind
34:02
of
34:03
where he was out
34:08
one thing I've never done I've been up
34:08
there about a decade ago and I've driven
34:10
I think I drove across here where I had
34:11
my RV but I didn't stop and get out and
34:14
walk over there so I'll do that now
34:19
I really like these Camper vans over
34:21
camper trucks
34:26
the area we're standing now is like
34:26
where a little Reservoir was where the
34:28
water got too high it was like
34:31
go into here but you can see where the
34:32
water level used to be there's still
34:34
water over there in the lake but it's
34:36
not as high as it once was
34:39
that's amazing you just see
34:41
discoloration where the water used to be
34:43
up to but basically on this side it used
34:46
to come almost all the way up to the top
35:04
yeah this is something
35:07
it's right up there a little bit ago
35:12
really something else
35:21
and it's at an incline so it's not
35:21
straight down it's almost like
35:23
I don't want to compare it to like a
35:25
slide but it kind of goes at a very
35:27
steep angle
35:29
really mind-blowing when you really try
35:31
to wrap your head around the engineering
35:32
of this
35:33
not even like not even necessarily the
35:35
dam but even like just that bridge
35:47
you know speaking of Superman the movie
35:47
what would happen if there was a bad
35:49
earthquake right over here I mean is
35:51
this thing
35:52
made for earthquakes
35:57
you get nervous because they'll say
35:58
earthquake up here named after Herbert
36:01
Clark Hoover
36:15
I'm going to admit I did not realize
36:15
that it was named after Herbert Hoover
36:19
I don't know why they were put that
36:20
together until just now the Inception
36:22
completion the realization of the
36:24
benefits of the pers of this project are
36:26
due to the wisdom and vision of those
36:28
whose names are here on inscribed
36:43
I like the art deco Hollywood style
36:43
doors they got here too
36:45
also this is the state line the Nevada
36:47
Arizona State Line you can see Arizona
36:49
on this side
36:51
on that side yeah right here right here
36:54
in the middle of the I don't know though
36:55
because there's there's Blitz in Hawaii
36:57
that are 100 back when they were
36:59
constructing
37:00
thus they ended up having a mascot it
37:02
was a dog that would like
37:04
kind of spend time around the
37:06
construction crew
37:08
it was the construction Cruise mascot it
37:10
was founded by as a puppy by workers at
37:13
the construction camp
37:15
passed on in 1941 and laid to rest here
37:20
but he is known as the dog who owned
37:24
a damn
37:45
I'm noticing he wasn't given a name he
37:45
was just the dog
37:48
but here he is going to work with a
37:50
paper sack they gave him commissary
37:52
prepared him a single daily meal every
37:54
day
37:55
but no mention of a name just the dog
38:19
the grown men wept
38:19
hammered a tune for him
38:22
scaling is the process of removing loose
38:25
Rock from a cliff face High scalers
38:27
dangle from ropes using jackhammers to
38:29
drill holes tied him after a blaster
38:31
return to pry off the loose Rock and
38:34
here is
38:36
a worker right up here that is perched
38:39
on the side of this rock
38:41
with the bridge off in the distance and
38:44
that bird flying by
38:54
back towards Vegas I'm just noticing
38:54
earlier we're talking about like horror
38:56
shirts you're wearing a used band shirt
38:58
but I think this is from
39:00
I think this is from The House on
39:02
Haunted Hill they see the skeleton here
39:03
holding the heart
39:05
I think that's from a House on Haunted
39:06
Hill
39:07
I have no idea you don't know no I think
39:09
that's what it is all right that's gonna
39:11
do it for today I don't even know if
39:13
anyone could see us because the sun is
39:14
in a weird angle yeah
39:16
I think so we're good we're at Boulder
39:18
City we had full-on Boulder City we
39:21
really did today we did a lot in Boulder
39:22
City monster Museum
39:24
braved fear of heights we did the
39:27
historic area of Boulder I like the
39:29
downtown of that as well saw the guy who
39:32
was now
39:33
immortalized for refilling toilet paper
39:35
that's right
39:37
that's it
39:38
for sure you check out Danny 702's
39:40
Channel and I'll see you in the next
39:41
video the Vlog is hello
