3:01
the kind of stuff I like is right up

here when you got these little weird
3:05
remnants it's actually in the ground
3:08
what do you think that might
3:09
be a water line I don't know very
3:13
bizarre right along the railroad tracks
3:16
anybody know what this might be in the
3:18
ground here pine
3:26
cones oh here's an even better Remnant I
3:26
think this maybe was an original brick
3:31
could have been I'm asking you a
3:33
question I think that's an original
3:34
brick could be I'm asking you yeah could
3:36
be could
3:45
be some kind of animal has burrowed
3:45
itself down in
3:47
there what kind of Disney creature you
3:49
think would have burrowed itself
3:50
underneath this old Disney railroad
3:53
maybe a posum or arill posum so none of
3:56
the actual characters from any of the
3:58
Disney movies
4:00

4:03
Badger FR frier tuck there oh check this
