the reflection of the sunrise can be
0:07
seen shimmering
0:21
so beautiful and eerily peaceful out
0:21
here very quiet just starting to peek
0:34
its head up over the horizon amazing a
0:40
truck full of cattle is pulled up next
0:43
to the entry point side state line
0:46
welcome everyone
0:48
padam the Wu here today number eight of
0:52
my cross-country journey I'm just
0:56
exploring Americana soaking in the
0:58
sights the sounds and the glory of an
1:05
epic road trip it's chilly little cold
1:12
inviting you to join me shall you I
1:15
don't really have a route in mind or a
1:18
specific game plan just kind of go where
1:22
the wind blows
1:23
however heading end from right up here
1:29
in this top portion the top right which
1:31
would be the North East region and then
1:36
going going across first stop is Clayton
1:40
where they have this mural
1:44
some Cowboys there on the plains and so
1:48
the terrain behind them the the
1:50
mountains a very vintage look to it and
1:57
a flag there in the window as well
2:30
there's a dragon there on the side of
2:30
that wall kind of going in and out of it
2:32
of the building itself
2:41
next to the chamber of commerce
2:41
underneath that farmers and Stockman
2:43
Bank clock is a dinosaur
3:01
oh hello there evidently some are deemed
3:01
to be behind a fence and others aren't
3:04
for one reason or another
3:15
I've been driving for a bit and wanted
3:15
to climb up on this little this little
3:17
hill and show how far almost looks like
3:19
this path goes on forever and ever and
3:23
ever and it honestly feels like that as
3:26
you're commuting down it and the longer
3:30
I stand here I probably should move
3:34
because there might be snakes here
3:39
anyways it's a long Roger certainly have
3:46
seen some terrain changes over this
3:48
journey landscape looks considerably
3:50
different here than it has in the last
3:54
few days as I've been going
3:57
cross-country it's a circular pile of
4:03
barbed wire here at the forefront of
4:06
this destroyed facade of a homestead I
4:10
can't really get any closer unless I
4:14
traversed over this fence line you're
4:19
pretty good view from this angle
4:30
not bad the traffic is definitely not
4:30
bad
4:43
after miles and miles of nothingness
4:43
Gladstone mercantile kind of just
4:46
appears out of out of almost nowhere
4:47
with a little photo op you can even be
4:50
the horse if you so choose it could be a
4:52
horse head it's kind of awkward angle to
4:59
hold the camera through the other hole
5:02
but I think I got it am i doing it right
5:05
nailed it adjacent to the store is also
5:08
the post office the US Post Office
5:31
if I was in the market for a branding
5:31
iron I could choose this one I think it
5:38
would work also those are not real
5:42
cactus they're made of metal
6:31
enjoying the day from a distance for a
6:31
moment I thought this was pavement that
6:33
I am in correct
6:34
it's snow the shadow of this building
6:36
has caused it not to melt
6:55
next community over his elevation of
6:55
6210 feet a wagon mount I don't think
7:01
it's an act of grocer anymore
7:04
almost looks like a homestead but the
7:08
signage is incredible very vintage
7:13
oh is that Leroy
7:31
if you have a keen eye you can see him
7:31
grazing out there walking across the
7:39
rest of the herd is over there to look
7:43
very closely when are those exactly
8:04
Viva Las Vegas
8:04
the New Mexico edition that is that's a
8:09
sweet ride parked underneath those brick
8:12
advertisements of the past fade it away
8:18
relatively hidden up there safe buy used
8:23
cars promoting furnished rooms me some
8:29
old apartment buildings some sort quite
8:33
a treasure trove of history here I dig
8:36
it
8:36
oh wow Pepsi bottle top a Thunderbird
8:39
pawn shop nice the fact that this still
8:43
exists from the Patrick Swayze classic
8:45
red dawn makes me very happy
8:57
Wolverine's the clock at community bank
8:57
is very vintage and just adjacent the
9:02
drugstore sweet coca-cola classic
9:06

9:39
peaceful

9:52
of Alfea go baka here in 1958 and also
9:57
young guns also filmed here in 1988 upon
10:06
the porch is a little memento from one
10:09
of those productions
10:40
pretty neat-looking and to look at it
10:40
from the opposite angle the Wortley
10:43
hotel furnished rooms there on the right
