Oklahoma this is an old jail cell and
1:27
even more bizarre than that is the class
1:30
of 1939 all the students their names are
1:34
right here so I guess the high school
1:36
which used to be in town was torn down
1:39
and they moved this placard which looks
1:42
kind of like a tombstone is placed in
1:45
front of this old school jail
2:14
wow look at all these rusted out old
2:14
classic cars just sitting
2:17
here grass growing up around them just
2:22

4:17
mower in the back of the trunk small
4:20
town life that's what's
4:26
up sign off the interstate said they're
4:26
supposed to have a rock Grotto in this
4:28
tiny little town
4:30
I guess this is it right here in this
4:35
Cemetery it's
4:44
locked I don't know if that's the grotto
4:44
the town is promoting there's Graves

5:06
in town you know where that is the sign
5:08
pointed that way but I couldn't find
5:10
it it's like a little sign over
5:13
there yeah I don't think I don't think
5:15
many people stoping for gas are thank
5:26
you at first I thought that was the
5:26
Oscar Meer Wier mobile but I was wrong
5:29
it's a water the trade wins in what's
5:32
the significance and importance of this
5:35
place now you wouldn't think of it by
5:37
looking at it but Elvis Presley stayed
5:40
right here on four separate
5:49
occasions notice the numbers on the
5:49
doors how they all have the same type of
5:51
emblems all of them except that one up
5:56
there is a little bit different
5:59
this is where the king stayed Elvis
6:02
Presley himself in this room seriously
6:06
who would have ever guessed that Elvis
6:09
stayed
6:30
here exit 88 exit
6:30
88 88 exits per
6:42
hour this building was built in the late
6:44
1920s but really did not get popular
6:46
until the 1940s When a Woman by the name
6:49
of Lucille Hammond bought the place
6:52
raised her family and her children right
6:54
here on this property on Route 66 and
6:58
this is way before
7:00
the interstates came in and this was a
7:02
very thriving area once the interstate
7:05
came in all business on Route 66 dried
7:08
up but the building Still
7:15
Remains look at the stained
7:15
glasses front door and you can even see
7:19
inside the
7:21
windows look at that that is some
7:23
serious history right
7:26
here I love this stuff so much that's
7:29
where where the family lived up on the
7:30
top floor Lucille died in the year 2000
7:34
but someone brought the property and has
7:37
fixed it up a little bit so it's still
7:38
here as a momento of Route 66 pass
7:41
goodbye
7:42
lucil we'll never forget you what the
7:46
heck
8:03
history is very important to me I think
8:03
it needs to be respected and preserved
8:07
and that's why I do these videos not
8:08
only because I'm excited about visiting
8:10
places and learning new things every day
8:13
but also to express to other people who
8:16
might not know a certain backstory or
8:19
certain information that's why I do
8:30
this welcome to Hinton Oklahoma
8:30
now I don't normally do this but I'm
8:33
making the exception right now in the
8:37
Vlog just by sheer coincidence I was
8:39
checking comments this morning and
8:40
someone left a comment someone I have
8:42
never met someone that watches these
8:43
Vlogs wanted to know if something still
8:47
existed in Hinton that they remembered
8:50
from their youth right here downtown on
8:52
Main Street smack dab in front of the
8:57
barber shop is a bar Harbor shop pole
9:01
his grandfather made in the
9:04
1950s out of an old water tank now to me
9:07
and everyone else watching this video
9:09
this might just seem like a cool
9:11
creation but I know to you it holds a
9:14
Sentimental place in your heart so
9:16
hopefully you enjoyed seeing this and it
9:19
put a smile on your face
9:41
the eloquent riding of The White Buffalo
9:41
should they be riding down the
9:43
interstate with their trunk open like
9:45
that what the heck I never knew there
9:47
was a g Brooks Boulevard straight ahead
9:49
is Oklahoma City it's kind of exciting
9:52
to see a little bit more civilization
9:54
because since I've been on I40 as I
9:57
crossed over the Oklahoma State l
9:59
I haven't really seen any big buildings
10:02
there's some big buildings over there in
10:04
downtown I almost said Los Angeles
10:06
that's not Los Angeles that's Oklahoma
10:09
City I love Oklahoma City wow these
10:12
Oklahoma
10:13
roads
10:15
beautiful that's a good way to promote
10:17
your bail bonds business little Classic
10:19
Car action in a parking lot okoklahoma
10:22
there's the Bricktown Ballpark and
10:24
there's the man himself Mr Mickey
10:27
Manel right there it's good they got
10:30
shaved ice the last thing you want is
10:32
ice with a beard check this out Flaming
10:35
Lips alley named after the band they
10:39
have an alley named after them here is a
10:42
monument here in Oklahoma City that they
10:43
have erected in honor of the land rush
10:47
this
10:48
horse and the guy riding the horse have
10:51
had better days Adam the woo whoa you
10:55
can take a boat through the land rush
10:58
Memorial
11:00
look the horses can't cross the stream
11:02
but that pontoon boat sure the heck can
11:05
I can't even imagine what it was like
11:06
back then during the land rush on that
11:08
specific moment when they opened up all
11:10
that land and everyone just stormed in
11:12
over the line to claim their land must
11:15
have been full panic mode goodbye
11:18
City till next time I'm not stopping to
11:21
eat in here but I want to show you
11:23
something right around the corner of the
11:26
building it is a huge Sonic
11:30
drink gargantuan thirst quenching
11:33
goodness I know you really couldn't
11:35
gauge the scale of that but it was like
11:37
15 ft tall Patrick
11:57
swayy I definitely can tell I'm going
11:57
farther east cuz it's getting humer is
12:01
that even a word
12:02
humer well it is look at my glasses
12:05
they're fogging up yes check it out old
12:07
school dryer I get excited about the
12:10
most simple things when you pull in this
12:11
rest stop it's a one-way Direction so
12:13
you park here and then when you exit you
12:16
go that way it's pretty like
12:17
self-explanatory do they really need a
12:20
huge gargantuan 14t tall exit sign we
12:25
get it I'm 6' 3 in tall and I just
12:28
walked under the bottom of that thing
12:30
it's
12:37
massive this is the hometown of singer
12:37
Woody Guthrie who his political views
12:40
were very controversial but there's
12:42
really not a whole heck of a lot else in
12:44
this town that they can Embrace so they
12:47
have a statue here for him are those
12:55
patunas and from information I found
12:55
online I think his former home is right
12:58
up here on the right
12:59
I don't know if walking through this
13:01
grass is the best
13:03
idea but check this out you can see the
13:06
foundation here's the bricks from the
13:07
foundation of where the home was right
13:10
here someone has taken this old tree and
13:12
carved this land is your land and a
13:16
guitar across the
13:22
top I've been to a lot of cemeteries in
13:22
my day and seen a lot of Graves and a
13:25
lot of headstones and tombstones and I'm
13:28
looking for what could be the most
13:30
unusual one ever this is a lot more
13:34
difficult to find than I thought not a
13:35
lot of information online about where
13:37
the exact spot is okay I found it
13:42
prepare yourself now for the most
13:43
unusual grave site I have ever
13:53
seen Barbara Sue Man passed away in
13:53
2005 and the tombstone reads her humor
13:57
lives on and there is a time expired
14:00
parking meter on The Headstone
14:08
itself I've never seen anything this
14:08
creative before in a cemetery and it's
14:11
really hard to see but if you look
14:13
closely in the quarter slot there is a
14:16
quarter in
14:19
there you got to wonder who put the
14:21
money in there and I didn't even realize
14:24
it but some of Woody Guthrie's family is
14:26
buried in the same Cemetery now Woody
14:29
Guthrie himself when he passed away was
14:32
cremated but they do have a tombstone
14:34
here with a cartoon character while he
14:37
was alive he drew this little cartoon
14:39
character right here and they placed
14:42
that on the tombstone as well and you
14:44
can see people have left coins guitar
14:48
piics right here in the same Cemetery
14:51
which isn't very
14:52
far right over there is the parking
14:56
meter Tombstone another thing that's
14:58
interesting about about this town is
15:00
there are three count them three water
15:04
towers so strange normally there's only
15:06
one water tower maybe two but you rarely
15:09
see them side by side next to each other
15:12
this one has three water towers in this
15:15
town I was really trying to find a good
15:16
spot to fly the Drone to get the shot
15:19
those water towers you see that
15:21
convenience store back there there was
15:23
no cars in the parking lot I thought it
15:25
was abandoned so I parked right smack
15:27
dab in the middle of the parking lot
15:30
took the Drone out got it all ready to
15:32
go up and then a car pulled in and
15:33
looked at me so confused as to why I was
15:37
blocking the business because I thought
15:39
it was abandoned cuz there's like hardly
15:41
anyone out and about right now so I
15:43
ended up coming over to this K refactor
15:46
parking lot that's closed today and I
15:48
flew the Drone from there kind of funny
15:50
the awkward stairs I just got if you
15:52
build it they will corn
16:10
I have not paid less than $2 a gallon in
16:10
probably a year and a half take that
16:13
California however it's super humid here
16:16
and the sun's going
16:18
down I don't like humidity so paying a
16:21
little extra for gas might be worth it
16:23
by the way this is the slowest moving
16:26
gas pump I've ever seen it's just
16:28
inkling along Penny by Penny I prepaid
16:32
$30 it's moving as slow as Oklahoma
16:35
molasses wait a second do they have
16:38
molasses in
16:40
Oklahoma I got the gas pump to work
16:42
finally the cashier told me just go out
16:44
to the pump ungrip it count to 20 and
16:48
then repump it again and it should work
16:50
and she was right it worked I'm on the
16:53
road again look at that beautiful sunset
16:55
the day is coming to an end thanks for
16:58
watching I'll see you guys tomorrow
17:01
