Transcript
0:04
hey welcome everyone adame the woo
0:04
here this is interstate 26 where i will
0:06
be taking as it connects
0:08
after a few hours well maybe a little
0:10
less than that
0:12
with i-95 going southbound you can kind
0:15
of make out the sign there where it
0:16
states clinton south carolina it's about
0:19
8
0:19
15 a.m 45 46
0:22
degrees give or take commuters
0:26
truckers are taking this thoroughfare as
0:29
will i and my mom just checking out of a
0:31
hotel
0:33
on my way to the orlando area
0:37
at no real rhyme or reason or game plan
0:40
on what i will be documenting and
0:42
showing gonna move very quickly but also
0:45
a few pit stops here and there to just
0:47
see what there is to see
0:49
a few miles or so off of the interstates
0:53
inviting you to join me
1:00
shall you made it down the ways a bit to
1:00
columbia south carolina
1:03
where this doll well it's a sign of a
1:06
dog
1:07
next to a fire hydrant which you know
1:10
dogs are known to
1:12
to love so much but could you imagine if
1:20
this is the largest fire hydrant you've
1:20
ever seen yes it is
1:21
definitely they say it's the it's the
1:23
biggest fire hydrant in the
1:25
entire world i believe it it is
1:28
how many feet tall do you think that is
1:39
i don't know 25 30 maybe
1:39
it's at least three three stories
2:01
a very interesting little fact about
2:01
this
2:01
area is on the other not the back side
2:04
of water but the back side of the
2:06
water hydrant is a mural
2:10
i believe it's called tunnel vision
2:12
where
2:13
it is a is painted to look as if you're
2:16
almost like
2:17
wily coyote from the roadrunner series
2:19
how he would
2:20
you know paint that on there so the
2:21
roadrunner would i'll just go over there
2:24
and show you it's easier than explaining
2:26
it an optical
2:28
illusion of sorts look at this
2:31
there's even a sun setting in the
2:33
distance there
2:35
or maybe that's the moon perhaps yeah
2:39
it almost looks as if you could just
2:40
walk right through
2:42
this says clearance up top has the
2:45
sign there's a couple windows up there
2:47
oh yeah tunnel
2:48
vision oh look at the clouds going by
2:52
well if you want to call that a cloud
2:54
it's just like a little
3:00
just a little bit of fluff in the form
3:00
of a but the
3:02
lettering there it says tunnel vision
3:06
i was through this area probably eight
3:08
years ago or so
3:10
it's still here except i don't recall
3:13
the
3:14
the sun there in the middle
3:18
how neat looks like you can just drive
3:22
right through there it wouldn't be
3:23
it wouldn't be wise you have to wonder
3:25
how many how many vehicles
3:27
have pulled right here thinking and then
3:28
whoa hit the brakes
3:31
at the last moment just like every
3:34
tunnel
3:35
says turn lights on when i was in pigeon
3:38
forge
3:39
on the way to gatlinburg recently a
3:41
couple days ago
3:43
the tunnel you go through everyone honks
3:45
there it's like a a tradition
3:48
just a little perspective as i as i walk
3:51
out even
3:53
even the railings over well that's not a
3:56
railing that's a way into the parking
3:58
area but they have the railings on
4:00
either side to just give you that
4:03
give you that correct sense and ambiance
4:06
as if this was
4:07
a real deal don't go speeding through
4:10
there
4:10
it would end badly
4:14
just ask wiley coyote
4:21
you can see how close proximity it is
4:21
to that fire hydrant
4:26
same parking lot right here on the
4:26
corner of
4:27
bull street wondering what exactly those
4:29
are tornado
4:30
sirens carrying on a ways
4:34
noticing this section of the interstate
4:37
gone maybe another 30 40 miles from
4:40
where i just was
4:42
the streets are not in the roads are not
4:45
in the best condition
4:46
through this stretch of south carolina
4:48
but there are a lot of rest stops
4:51
including snacks and beverages these are
4:56
yeah i don't know what they did to be
4:58
behind bars
5:04
oh check this out this is a coffee
5:04
machine
5:11
yeah i think that's coffee i've used
5:11
these before
5:13
i've already had a couple cups today
5:14
that's actually why i pulled over here
5:15
to the rest stop so i don't need another
5:16
one but
5:17
i always like those vending machines
5:18
that serve caffeinated piping hot
5:22
beverages
5:24
all these machines are incarcerated
5:28
going off the freeway a couple miles to
5:30
bowman down this road uh just a
5:32
couple miles three or four mom has
5:35
decided to stay in the rental she
5:38
doesn't have as much
5:39
much interest
5:46
in space travel and creatures
5:46
from other planets as much as i do this
5:48
is the ufo
5:50
welcome center right here
5:53
in a front yard flying saucer parking
5:57
only even though there is
6:00
there is a vehicle that's not a flying
6:02
saucer it has been probably
6:04
seven or eight years since i passed
6:06
through here the owner and creator jody
6:08
pendarvis i met him at the
6:10
storm area 51 event
6:13
out in the desert however i never
6:17
have bumped into him here on site
6:20
at his homestead i don't believe he
6:24
resides
6:25
inside the ufo i think behind it
6:29
or maybe in the same neighborhood
6:38
oh the mothership says the mothership
6:38
right here
6:40
there's an arrow pointing downward
7:00
kind of hope he's here i enjoyed talking
7:02
to him
7:04
this has been about over a year ago now
7:06
when that event took place
7:08
out there
7:58
i am inside a spacecraft
7:58
oh there's a ladder up there oh what's
8:01
up top
8:03
i know how structurally sound all this
8:07
really is but
8:24
hello
8:46
maybe she's getting interested i think
8:46
my mom might have an interest now she
8:48
has
8:50
opened the rental car door and is
8:51
honking maybe she's trying to get jody's
8:54
attention
9:07
oh if you go up there which i don't know
9:07
if my
9:08
my weight can be held up there on those
9:11
boards
9:12
you look out the little pods
9:15
so i am on the near the upper
9:18
level looking outward
9:26
