13:20
horses right I'm gonna have to pass on
13:30
that trying to stay you know on this
13:32
side of the law I understand there is a
13:34
sheriff in town and the nasty one
13:37
sometimes I know I'm not going to tell
13:39
them you're over here that as far as you
13:40
know I appreciate it all right perfectly
13:46
there's a cross quote he got it he did
13:48

14:47
I'm starting to think it doesn't
14:47
represent Michael okay the fact that we
14:49
are able to go inside each of these
14:52
ghost town structures you know really
14:55
makes this themed event a little bit
14:58
more special there's a beehive of
14:59
activity in each of the doors here at
15:03
Founders Day
15:06
ghost town Knott's Berry Farm I've
15:08
always wanted to go inside the hotel
15:12
that's where I am I'm inside
15:15
Goldie's hotel I like the pictures on
15:19
the wall and I like that
15:20
I love the adornment of the drapes of
15:24
top hamburger and here there's some sort
15:27
of like a scavenger hunt going on over
15:30
there where you take magnets and place
15:32
different characters on what the floor
15:34
of the hotel
15:51
I just found a bottom some for short
15:51
time and then of course we wonder what's
15:58
going on inside the sheriff's
16:19

16:40
sad I Larry or a Wisconsin let's keep a
16:45
lookout for all of those scoundrels
16:47

16:50
has any guests could just come in here
16:52
and play cards with the sheriff
16:54

16:57
just noticing that I don't know if
16:59
anyone's told you we have an arrow going
17:01
through your your hat
17:16
I gotta get me one of these they're
17:16
trotting the donkey through town
17:29

17:43
barber shop got all kind of goodness
17:45
here we got some elixirs
17:51
what's all that powdery stuff I'm very
17:52
confused by how many clues there are out
17:53
here what the letter said there's nine
17:56
kunis so I have to find the cards around
17:59
as well
18:04
Oh what's the notes I've been trying to
18:04
read this note all day it's from Lester
18:06
from 1886 I've hidden the stash on the
18:11
outskirts of a town called calico that's
18:14
where I am I'm in calico sind feel
18:24
that's the same bottle is that another
18:24
one it's from the Office of the
18:33
Honorable governor Benjamin in Parker
18:36
stone says greetings and felicitations
18:39
in honor of calicoes reaching the
18:42
formidable milestone of 77 years as a
18:45
Township I have instructed my agents to
18:48
place a special and historical gift
18:52
aboard a locomotive of the calico
18:54
railroad arrived in calico Depot today
18:57
at 12:10 congratulations and salutations
19:02
Sean governor Parker stone passing the
19:09
bottle house now over to the side that's
19:12
a little less hectic making my way up to
19:15
the saloon and it's a good thing too
19:17
because I sure am thirsty
20:08
in the general store next saw the
20:08
boysenberry jam and preserves is more of
20:12
the theme and merchandise even some some
20:15
regular baseball caps a little knapsack
20:18
more hats and I'm just realizing that
20:21
the elixir is non-alcoholic as it's also
20:24
made of boysenberry here's some little
20:27
shot glasses and you can chow down on
20:31
some gold nuggets this is chocolate
20:33
candy over here
20:35
magnets yeah I think that's a that's a
20:38
magnet there for your fridge and a
20:41
button set if you want to take home a
20:45
souvenir in the form of a button you
20:46
could put on your on your clothing they
20:48
have those as well and for $7.99 you can
20:52
get a ghost-town alive
20:54
handkerchief I might have to get one of
20:56
these at some point governor is gonna be
20:59
delivering a very special gift
21:01
on 12:10 train could be gold if they
21:04
don't convene does it say in the article
21:06
no no spoilers you got to go to that
21:08
train station and find out what's gonna
21:10
be in that prison
23:19
go read the letter dear people of calico
23:19
what you see before you
23:21
isn't merely a strongbox but is also a
23:25
time capsule this is so exciting
24:31
you know I suggest we suggest we form a
24:31
committee with so more business to
24:33
research and document our towns early
24:35
history using these newly discovered
24:37
artifacts
24:37
oh I second that motion and I think
24:41
that's a great idea now I'd be happy a
24:42
head of a group of conservatives to
24:45
solve this mystery in the meantime we're
24:47
going to store these things in Town Hall
24:49
thank you all for joining that's happy I
25:02
don't think this is the time nor the
25:02
place
25:03
actually I think it's the perfect time
25:06
considering it involves everybody but
25:09
I've only come to click what's - it made
25:12
a security box in that Bank down no no
25:14
it's the deed to the land it's you all
25:16
are standing on that deed belongs to me
25:19
it's not in the bank anymore what
25:22
happened - yeah
25:34
I thought you was deceased Phyllis so uh
25:34
as your next of kin I crossed out your
25:38
name on the need and wrote in my own
25:40
name he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't
25:44
have it the town took it when we got
25:47
incarcerated and they sold it to a
25:49
prospector named peg leg you have no
25:54
right to sell my land you all lost my
25:57
property and you all sold it I don't
26:03
remind you that I've been known to have
26:06
quite a temper I'm not happy don't worry
26:12
I'll talk to her and see if we can't
26:14
come to some kind of compromise the
26:19
tensions were running high over their
26:22
drama the drama going on out here by
26:27
pumping the back of this wagon water
26:29
shoots out of this cart it's like coming
26:32
directly out of there
26:33
it's squirty got anyone that stands on
26:35
on either side oh right guys towel
