welcome everyone Adam the wo here Dragon
0:11
Con has come to an end I'm still in
0:14
Atlanta for another day or so and I am
0:17
gallivanting around the outskirts of the
0:21
Greater Atlanta area and I do some stuff
0:25
that does not involved hordes of people
0:29
hopefully today today I have been around
0:32
more people than you can shake a stick
0:34
at proverbi you don't want to shake a
0:37
real stick at cosplayers cuz they might
0:39
get angry it's my second channel daily
0:41
Vlog channel it's the
0:45
daily this entire little outdoor strip
0:48
mall completely abandoned and empty got
0:51
to wonder why these places close I mean
0:54
the obvious reason is people aren't
0:57
shopping at them
0:58
anymore but it is kind of crazy to see
1:01
these places just sitting here desolate
1:03
and abandoned Georgia autop Pond clearly
1:06
used to be a Pizza Hut you ever noticed
1:08
how many Pizza Huts are refurbished into
1:10
other businesses for
1:20
real this guy wants to race there it
1:21
is one gigantic Rock known as Stone
1:25
Mountain I'm going up there you can see
1:28
my van right there if you look very
1:31
closely and on the guide map that's what
1:34
it looks like and I'm walking towards
1:36
this which someone has scuffled out
1:39
either with a coin or their thumb for
1:42
whatever reason and I will be taking
1:44
this Sky ride up to the very top of the
1:48
mountain and see these railroad tracks
1:50
we cannot get to those were the railroad
1:53
tracks used in the TV show stranger
2:01
things it's pretty clever you have to
2:01
buy a ticket up and you have to buy a
2:03
ticket down and you have to wait 30
2:06
minutes from this point this is the size
2:09
of these steel ropes that take you to
2:11
the top it's pretty
2:13
thick in order for one of those to snap
2:17
you'd have to have a lot of weight in
2:18
one of those trams
2:45
you chose the right card to be on
2:45
because any car that I'm on I like to
2:47
think of it as the fun card however
2:49
that's for you to decide I mean to
2:50
imagine in my head like a crazy person
2:52
hopefully you think my jokes are funny
2:54
if not the doors are right there and
2:55
right there the carving itself is 90 ft
2:57
tall it's 190 ft wide he goes into the
3:00
mountain about 42t deep now the men on
3:03
the carving from left to right are
3:05
Jefferson Davis Roberty Lee and
3:07
Stonewall Jackson the mountain itself is
3:11
1,683 Ft above sea level however we're
3:13
only seeing about 825 ft of it right now
3:36
swing forward we're going to swing back
3:36
and we're going to even up right about
3:49
here okay officially reach the top
3:52
according to this side
3:55
1,683 ft above sea level you can see the
3:59
incredible Contraption and Machinery
4:02
that brings you up the side of Stone
4:04
Mountain and then you exit off of this
4:08
concrete slab onto the rock
4:19
itself hopefully that's not the last
4:19
shuttle for the day going back down the
4:21
mountain because this would be a very
4:24
long walk from the top of this now I
4:26
can't remember the specifics of it but I
4:27
heard from someone that in this Waterway
4:30
down here at the foothills of the
4:32
mountain is an abandoned ship below the
4:36
surface just sitting there submerged in
4:39
the depths the nether regions of that
4:42
Lake there are
4:43
indentations all along the
4:47
ground wait a second Hidden Mickey
5:02
and there are these little pools of
5:02
water that have developed in the
5:05
crevices at the top up here little
5:08
makeshift pools and I think it's really
5:09
interesting too there are trees growing
5:12
out of the side of the rock standing up
5:15
here really puts different cities into
5:17
perspective for me I'm so used to being
5:19
in Los Angeles and going up to the
5:21
observatory at Griffith Park and
5:24
overlooking nothing but buildings there
5:26
are no trees like the Greater Atlanta
5:29
area has so you just see a little bit of
5:30
City off in the distance if this was Los
5:33
Angeles all of this would be buildings I
5:36
wonder what happens if you do go past
5:38
that point if you do jump over that
5:41
fence I
5:44
wonder here's some more carvings that
5:47
have been here for quite a while no
5:49
telling what year all these inscriptions
5:52
were carved in the Rock did someone try
5:54
to do like a makeshift Bridge across
5:57
this teeny tiny little Pond developing
5:59
up here at the
6:09
top right over here there is a survey
6:09
marker if you look closely if you ever
6:11
come up here right at the very tip top
6:13
in the middle is this
6:16
geodetic survey marker just based on
6:19
this terrain you got to wonder if
6:20
they've ever done any filming up here
6:22
for TV or movies just look at this time
6:25
lapse that I took and replace the people
6:27
you see walking around
6:30
in what they are wearing now picture
6:32
them in like a space uniform like an
6:34
episode of Star Trek or lost in space or
6:37
some other sort of genre S type thing
6:40
like this this this could looks like it
6:42
could be a different planet or maybe
6:44
possibly the moon or Mars and this could
6:47
just be a rumor but I think this place
6:49
is very significant to the history of
6:52
the Tim
6:53
tracker don't take my word for it ask
6:56
him
7:00
that's
7:20
awesome they
7:20
believe they believe
7:23
in big the foot that's right buddy you
7:28
got believers
7:30
there is something very interesting in
7:32
this Best Buy parking lot you can see
7:34
the Best Buy sign right there and I'm
7:36
parked and right next to my parking
7:40
spot are some graves right here next to
7:43
this Vision Works and under this huge
7:47
billboard is the Henderson Family
7:50
Cemetery and there is only one marker in
7:54
this slab of concrete next to retail
8:03
Enterprises
8:03
Galore a cemetery smack dab in the
8:07
middle of consumerism and that my
8:09
friends is called progress I guess when
8:13
you decide where your final resting
8:15
place will be you really have no
8:17
decision on what the future holds you
8:19
never know if a Best Buy a Sho land and
8:22
some Chinese restaurants will open up
8:25
just at the
8:26
threshold of where you're buried
8:33
and the interesting thing is that's not
8:33
the only one of those graves in a retail
8:36
establishment parking lot in this neck
8:38
of the woods there's another one a few
8:40
miles up the road and this time it's out
8:44
of Walmart I parked right here at the
8:46
very end of the parking lot Walmart's
8:48
right there and over here buried in the
8:51
woods is a
8:53
maum right there look you got to wonder
8:55
if anyone that's parking at that Walmart
8:57
knows that right outside their parking
8:59
spot is
9:15
this that is just very
9:15
bizarre just right in the
9:17
woods next to a super center across the
9:20
street it basically looks like this
9:21
entire complex is also abandoned there's
9:24
an old Checkers there's an old grocery
9:27
store there's another old
9:29
fast food
9:35
restaurant see there's another
9:35
refurbished Pizza Hut they're everywhere
