Seward Alaska just checking out on my

0:21

0:24
little bit into some areas by the name
0:27
of
0:27
Po and I believe there's a little town
0:30
next to Hope which is like a ghost town
0:32
so try to check that out and then I'm
0:34
going to be staying at a ski resort
0:37
later on this evening which I don't
0:39
think anything's going to be happening
0:40
at there's like a gondola there but
0:42
because it is out of season I don't
0:44
think the Gonda at the top of the
0:45
mountain is even running so I'm just
0:47
going to see where the day leads I got
0:49
to put these gloves on go check out of
0:51
the hotel get some gas and head to
0:55
Hope
0:57
join shall you it is 80 9: a.m. and the

1:31
at this cougar right here or is that a
1:32
mountain
1:40
lion all right can to get going there's
1:40
a gas station right over there little
1:43
Chevron that's open 24 hours now from
1:45
here yesterday when I was going back
1:47
through one town it said 84 mil to gas
1:50
that is 84 mil from this town in Seward
1:54
so I got to fuel up because there's no
1:55
gas from here probably to where I'm
1:58
heading till I get there all right y
1:59
notice there 8:15 is the current time
2:02
8:15 a.m. sun will be
2:05
rising in 20 minutes snowfall this rain
2:10
is going to turn into
2:12
snow but I'm going to be leaving Seward
2:15
and going towards hope which is about
2:17
the same looks like a little less
2:20
snowfall just overcast and cloudy 33 34
2:25
35° and then I'm going to end up in
2:28
Girdwood now I'm going to be past this
2:29
it's like a not a suburb but it's on the
2:32
outskirts of Anchorage it's a ski resort
2:34
called Girdwood or up near Girdwood and
2:37
that's going to be 32 33° so I'm
2:39
covering a lot of ground and uh just see
2:42
where the day leads but staying right
2:44
around freezing temperatures sun will be
2:46
up in 20 minutes Scenic backdrop to the
2:48
breeze in the motel right there
2:51
snowcapped
2:53
mountains price of fuel $3 and wait a
2:57
second what do we got here $3
3:00
59 cents a gallon on the self pumping
3:04
gas
3:05
nozzle hoping the roads are kind hoping
3:08
this rain has dissipated some of the ice
3:11
now hopefully the water that has fallen
3:13
does not turn into ice hopefully there's
3:16
a place called Seward's cup look at this
3:18
it's like a line of people going to get
3:22
coffee and they serve you out of a green
3:25
coffee cup oh don't mind if I do hope
3:28
they got a large I in the mood for a
3:30
large piping hot caffeinated beverage
3:34
the mountains over there you got the
3:36
windmill wind is not turning that
3:38
windmill just sitting there kind of
3:42
stagnant and I am preparing to
3:46
order right over here at the
3:55
cup I love
3:55
it I love it so excited for coffee right
3:59
now so excited they didn't have drip
4:01
coffee they had a Americana so they made
4:02
one which is similar to a regular
4:04
tasting coffee got a little cream and
4:06
sugar I like that they put this over the
4:08
top which is like a little sticker you
4:10
take that sticker off and that opens up
4:12
the little hole that you sip out of yeah
4:17
caution hot beverage bring
4:20
it this mural here with the whales be
4:23
nice to see some whales but I don't know
4:25
if I will I haven't seen a moose or an
4:28
elk or a bear yet
4:31
either I just want to see them in
4:33
passing I don't want to have a super up
4:35
close experience with either one of
4:38
those but if it happens ah what can I do
4:43
never know out here frozen tundra of
4:47
Alaska I love these road conditions as
4:49
of yet again hope it stays like this
5:00
drivable okay definitely ni through here
5:00
I've been driving for just a little bit
5:02
I'm going about 30 m
5:04
hour so I'm back here I passed this on
5:07
the way in yesterday it's like a it's a
5:09
shop that's all closed up for now a
5:11
little knife shop so I'm thinking about
5:14
not going to the areas I talked about at
5:17
the
5:18
beginning to Hope and all that I just
5:20
don't know if the road conditions are
5:22
good enough and I don't know if I'm
5:24
going to go to the ski lodge cuz I don't
5:27
know if getting up there would be the
5:29
best option
5:30
there's not a lot of people on the road
5:32
in fact only seen a couple cars in the
5:34
last half hour I've been
5:36
driving so I might just bail on the idea
5:40
I had today and just try to get back to
5:43
Anchorage where the rose conditions
5:46
might be a little bit better roads are
5:48
very slick I can definitely definitely
5:50
some ice on these roads so I'm being
5:53
very
5:58
cautious so it's a little scary honestly
5:58
when the car starts sliding across the
5:59
road but anyway I'm going to get driving
6:01
again see how the day uh see how the day
6:05
leads yeah what really gets me it's
6:07
snowing now which is probably a little
6:08
better at least the snow is better than
6:10
having standing water turning into ice I
6:12
feel like I'm not an expert at all in
6:15
fact I know nothing about any of this in
6:17
weather conditions but I feel like it'd
6:19
be easier to drive on snow than it would
6:22
be ice it's the turns that really get
6:25
you paranoid all right I'm over in Moose
6:26
pass now this is the United Methodist
6:28
Church
6:30
if the temperature was just maybe two
6:33
well 5 de warmer I would be a little
6:35
more confident than driving when it's
6:37
sitting at around 31 32 get up in the
6:40
some of the hilly areas it drops below
6:44
that just wish the sun would come out
6:47
it's 9912 right now no sun
6:51
anywhere to be
6:57
found that just ice I mean that's slushy
6:58
ice but still ice
7:05
I think I might just relax here and move
7:05
pass for a little bit regain my thoughts
7:07
it's definitely uh definitely white
7:08
knuckling the steering wheel a lot the
7:11
last half hour or
7:13
so certainly is beautiful I just do not
7:16
want to slide off the side of the road
7:19
not putting that out into the universe
7:32
this isn't too bad this is just a little
7:32
side road through town but I get back on
7:42
Thorofare good old moose pass passed
7:42
this yesterday when I was going down
7:44
to
7:47
Seward really wasn't a whole heck of a
7:49
lot going on in
7:50
Seward probably the wisest thing would
7:53
not have been to go down there since
7:54
nothing really was open you know what is
7:58
what it is
8:03
all right I've been sitting here
8:03
contemplating what I should do I do not
8:05
think I'm going to go to Anchorage I've
8:07
already booked the ski resort place for
8:10
the evening so I've already I've already
8:12
booked and paid for that so makes sense
8:14
just to go there plus it's a little
8:16
closer than going to Anchorage right now
8:18
my nerves are a little little frazzled
8:21
so the closer to stop the better granted
8:23
I wouldn't be able to check in till a
8:24
little bit later but at least I would be
8:26
there maybe grab some food hopefully
8:28
there's something open in that
8:36
town I'm going to I'm going to continue
8:36
carrying on but I am going to bail on
8:38
the idea about going to the you know off
8:41
the other Road and trying to go to Hope
8:42
and the other ghost towns and all that
8:44
cuz this is definitely not the weather
8:46
to be traversing and exploring on back
8:48
roads that have not
8:51
been
8:58
snowplow showing 64
8:58
miles to the ski lodge so I'll just take
9:02
it
9:03
slow
9:06
however
9:07
sometimes someone will get behind me
9:09
like a local will get behind me you can
9:11
tell they're like why is this guy only
9:12
going like 30 when he should be going
9:14
like 10 miles faster now they're not
9:16
going they're not speeding through the
9:18
area either I've only seen a couple of
9:21
cars I passed this yesterday moose
9:24
pass backtracking again back through
9:27
moose pass
9:30
I guess if the road conditions were
9:32
really really bad those lights right
9:34
there would be
9:35
blinking this section through here not
9:38
as bad as some of the areas I'll try to
9:40
if it gets really bad I'll try to
9:42
Showcase some of the road conditions but
9:43
yeah this is this right here if it's all
9:46
like this the rest of the way I'll be
9:47
perfectly
9:56
content look at that ice the whole lake
9:56
over there is Frozen
10:03
look at that whole parking lot that's
10:03
just one slat of
10:13
ice okay breath deep here we
10:13
go check this out this is a fish
10:16
hatchery Trail Lakes
10:34
okay it seems to be the road I'm on now
10:34
when I got out of moose pass seems to be
10:35
a little more traffic on it just a
10:37
couple cars not a lot but there are cars
10:40
and this section seems to be a little
10:42
less icy but again really kind of Hit or
10:46
Miss thankfully a good portion of the
10:48
road has guardrails that guard rail has
10:50
been smooshed into right over
10:54
there but there are areas without guard
10:56
rails and that's where it seems like
10:58
when they're kind of the little turns in
11:01
the road where the ice builds up that's
11:03
when it gets really
11:04
scary definitely not denying the scenic
11:07
and amazing beauty of this out here I am
11:09
just loving the temperature and I'm
11:12
loving the
11:14
views it's just driving in
11:18
itoo a little
11:20
stressful but that's just me thankfully
11:22
I'm in no rush whatsoever not a Time
11:25
agenda of when I need to be at the spot
11:28
I'm staying at today so as long as the
11:31
sun well the sun is out there somewhere
11:34
long as it stays not Nightfall I would
11:36
imagine temperat is going to drop
11:38
considerably long as I get there I can
11:40
check in before
11:42
then be safe and sound I'll be good so
11:45
no rush just going at my own
11:47
pace at my own pace that's the that's
11:50
the plan for the rest of the day now off
11:52
this thare I'm on there are some little
11:54
pulloff roads some places that look
11:55
interesting I just passed Devil's Creek
11:59
but the road to pull down there looked
12:02
pretty pretty
12:04
sketch so just staying here on
12:07
the the road more
12:10
traveled more tires on a road more ice
12:14
break up again I'm not an expert driving
12:17
in ice but that just makes sense in my
12:19
own mind
12:44
I pulled over here
12:44
where this Waterway goes from flowing
12:49
water to complete ice thankfully the
12:52
weather in this spot has gone a couple
12:55
degrees above freezing like
12:57
35° so the roads have thankfully for my
13:01
own Peace of Mind cleared up just a
13:03
little
13:03
bit we're a little more drivable than
13:07
the first the first section this morning
13:09
I think the key was just not waiting a
13:12
little bit before the sun is out a
13:14
little bit not not that the sun is out
13:16
but just waiting where it's not
13:19
pre
13:21
Sunrise when it's just no one on the
13:24
road more cars were on the road so it's
13:25
a little more drivable I think I could
13:27
walk across this
13:29
probably wouldn't be wise probably not
13:31
wise let me just stay away from doing
13:33
unwise things cuz I'm sure you would
13:36
just tumble in there but I've seen
13:37
people walking on
13:39
ice how do they know how deep it is
13:41
that's what I that's the that's the odd
13:44
thing if I had something to throw in
13:46
there like a rock is there a rock down
13:49
here there's a
13:51
rock there's a rock right
14:00
here there's a rock right there
14:00
I don't want to Tumble in there you go
14:02
there's a
14:10
rock all right here we
14:10
go holy cow it skipped I thought it was
14:14
going to go straight
14:15
through all right that was cool
14:41
I haven't seen any trains around these
14:41
parts I've seen train tracks but I
14:43
haven't seen any trains on the
14:45
tracks maybe it's just too cold and icy
14:49
but this truck is on the train tracks
15:09
here so I made the commute to the
15:09
general area I'm going to be stopping
15:11
for this
15:12
evening definitely feel a lot better
15:15
than I did earlier it's having
15:17

snow fire department knows where
24:56
the knows where the fire hydron is see
24:56

some people's comments actually over
25:05
there look over there there's a sticks
25:07
that are mount on top of those uh City
25:10
boxes so that way they can find where
25:13
they are if the snow drift or too much
25:16
snow ends up going higher than this you
25:19
know where you know where to find
25:22
them what a different world from Florida
25:24
all right that is the double
25:27
musky which herd was really good however
25:31
looks like there's a sign there that
25:32
says close for the
25:35

25:38
it's like New Orleans

here where nothing is going on nothing
31:19
there was no one in the restaurant so
31:21
can I get something to go take it back
31:22
to the room said oh yeah sure there was
31:23
like two people in there
31:30
I might have to watch The Shining the
31:30
kubric version the minseries Stephen
31:33
King even though Min even though Stephen
31:36
King wrote the book I prefer Kubrick's
31:40
interpretation of the Stephen King book
31:43
but after seeing this I might have to
31:45
watch that and I need to rewatch The
31:47
thing because I'm getting some serious
31:49
the thing
31:50
Vibes in my Alaska trip even though that
31:53
wasn't based in Alaska
31:55
either shining and the thing are really
31:57
pop in my head the last couple days look
32:00
at this
32:08
wow it's just e because there's like no
32:08
one here only a couple people here a few
32:10
workers back here would have been pretty
32:13
pretty awesome to be able to take the
32:15
gondola up to the top of the mountain up
32:18
there but wasn't meant to
32:19
be I am here in an unorthodox time of
32:22
the year all right going head back over
32:25
and see if my food's ready
32:28
should
32:29
be yeah there's like a whole little 70
32:32
style strip mall inside here even though
32:36
the tram is not running couple of the
32:39
store sunry shop clothing shops there's
32:41
like nobody in
32:42
there was
32:45
that
32:54
ni you know it's interesting so I was
32:54
look doing a little perusing online this
32:57
is the hallway earlier when I was doing
32:58
The Shining quote to come and play with
33:00
this Danny and then I got to
33:02
thinking I wonder if there's any ghost
33:04
stories or haunted Tales of this place
33:08
so turns out here on the seventh floor
33:11
where I was making The Shining
33:13
reference over in room
33:17
721 there was an
33:20
incident right
33:28
here here at the
33:28
alasca hope I'm pronouncing that right
33:32
Resort 721 this
33:39
room if I had a big
33:39
wheel could ride it down here stop right
33:41
here and look up at
33:43
721 and then evidently the furniture
33:46
after the incident was taken from 721
33:49
this is according to a couple accounts I
33:51
was reading online was moved over to 723
33:54
and then vicariously I guess this room
33:58
became haunted because of the furniture
34:00
that was in
34:06
there there was a stock broker staying
34:06
here in
34:07
7:21 things weren't going well for
34:11
him and he ended his life in
34:14
there what was that
34:22
noise what was that noise do love these
34:22
elevators
34:34
evidently on the fifth floor two down we
34:34
go down two
34:35
down to 5:15 there was a guy named Dr
34:40
Mills who had a skiing incident he was
34:43
staying
35:01
that trees all illuminated
35:01
there so I perused
35:05
around inside
35:07
here and really not that many more
35:10
people showed
35:12
up like I thought maybe as the day
35:14
progressed and Nightfall started to rear
35:16
its head there'd be more people checking
35:19
in and whatnot I mean there are people a
35:21
few more people them before but really
35:23
is pretty empty in the grand scheme of
35:26
things and just walking through the
35:28
hallways
35:30
and up and down the stairs kind of kind
35:33
of eerie Supply reading about the
35:35
different rooms on the different floors
35:38
fifth floor seventh floor seventh floor
35:40
is the room the area I'm staying on
35:43
which was like wow
35:45
okay again just all depends if that's
35:47
your thing or not
36:02
you like this
36:02
cakest cakest little metal steps
36:06
here but those guys are walking down
36:35
I was talking to a guy in the
36:35
elevator told him I was from Florida and
36:39
I see so this is definitely an off time
36:41
to be here ex so this is the one month
36:43
where it's really off seon because all
36:46
the skiers show up in
36:49
December and right now it's just no one
36:51
really
36:52
here so
36:54
if he believes in huntings and things
36:57
like thought this would really be the
36:59
time to stay
37:17
right I am liking this empty
37:18
Vibe it's pretty relaxing and this very
37:22
70s
37:23
esque style to the little walkway
37:26
through here
37:33
right that's that's giv me 70s
37:33
Vibes or maybe 80s probably more
37:41
70s I end up getting a little lollipop
37:41
it's like a
37:42
little little cream pop thing here a
37:46
little shop in there I feel like I can
37:48
just channel the mood of Telly savales
37:52
cuz he used always have a lollipop he
37:53
used always stay at shared and though
37:55
Universal he never I don't think he ever
37:56
stayed there maybe tell saal EST State
37:59
here hopefully they'll stay on the
38:00
seventh floor the fifth floor where the
38:02
rooms
38:04
are all right I think I'm going to head
38:06
back to my
38:08
room watch the
38:20
thing thanks for watching I'll see you
38:20
in the next video the Vlog it's over
38:22
bonus
38:24
footage so evidently according to
38:27
article
38:29
on the fifth floor room
38:37
515 the door occasionally opens and
38:37
closes on its
38:39
own so on the way to my floor I stopped
38:41
off on the elevator the fifth
38:44
floor let's see this room what was that
38:47
little light
39:42
close I don't even know why I'm
39:42
whispering honestly there's no reason
39:43
too dramatic effect
