welcome everyone at of the whoo here
0:03
today's adventure begins in the city of
0:06
Orange I'm going to be taking a bike
0:09
path that I have seen many times that
0:11
runs parallel to a occasionally dried
0:16
riverbed but sometimes there is fluid
0:19
motion from water it just depends on the
0:23
time of the year and the weather
0:24
patterns I'm gonna take my new bicycle
0:28
down that path it's early Suns not too
0:33
warm yet it will get a little toasty so
0:36
let's get on this I'm inviting you to
0:38
join me shall you as you can see the
0:42
gate is open and a sign with the public
0:45
recreation hours has been posted that's
0:48
the freeway over there traffic moving
0:51
very briskly
0:59
in fact up underneath that thoroughfare
0:59
now
1:14
plenty of water flow it it's not always
1:14
like this
1:16
there's a nice sightsee up the ways a
1:20
bit as I continue on just past that tree
1:24
line to the left will be Anaheim Angels
1:27
Stadium I go take a look at that as well
1:50
this is neat
1:50
a little playground area off to the side
1:52
for weary travelers currently closed but
1:58
under normal conditions you could say
2:01
hello to that big ant right there you
2:04
can still say hello where you gotta
2:06
gotta keep up 6/10 for your life the
2:10
roar of flowing traffic mix with a
2:14
little bit of not really a roar but a
2:16
fluid motion of the water it's a good
2:20
thing to have a little motion the heck
2:23
of it prior to yesterday's is my second
2:26
day out it was inside for two weeks just
2:31
to kind of decompress stay away from
2:36
everything but now I back out and the
2:38
Sun is beaming down the next couple days
2:41
is supposed to be really warm today's
2:43
this wee moderately warm the next couple
2:45
days here in Southern California gonna
2:46
reach temperatures of almost 100 high
2:48
90s oh yeah
2:51
caution bike way subject to flooding
2:54
debris and may become impassable when
2:58
the water gets too high there is a
3:01
firefighter training facility right over
3:05
there
3:11
tucked away behind those trees still
3:11
active just not today
3:14
occasionally you will see them out here
3:16
doing their drills and tests training
3:26
parking lot at the stadium not
3:30
completely full but relatively full of
3:33
automobiles there is no game nothing is
3:36
taking place seeing a few different
3:41
rental car vans
3:42
and there my guess would be some of the
3:45
rental car companies are out here are
3:48
stashing some of their
3:50
cars and trucks
3:52
the top of the a poking up there over
3:55
the road don't forget this is a flood
4:00
channel
4:02
plenty of postings and another waterfall
4:07
of sorts right here
4:23
from here you can get a perspective of a
4:23
few key landmark items going down the
4:28
path the Angel Stadium I don't call it a
4:32
marquee but the big signage there next
4:35
to the Anaheim futuristic looking
4:39
transportation facility and the Honda
4:43
Center in case you were wondering is
4:49
right there all persons entering the
4:52
water will be sighted there will be seen
4:55
you will be seen if you get in to be
4:58
sighted and they'll have you in your
5:01
sight it's a bad joke you'll get a
5:05
ticket if you enter that water I have a
5:08
long way from being fit or in any sort
5:11
of shape to take a link beat ride but
5:14
one day in the possible future way down
5:17
the road I might take this entire
5:20
journey it runs all the way to the beach
5:23
I believe Newport don't quote me on that
5:25
and up to the San Bernardino area
5:29
Mountains 2530 off the cuff I'm just
5:34
trying to remember exactly how far it is
5:36
that would be a lengthy Trek especially
5:40
if you did it both ways
5:41
oh my goodness
5:50
but I believe for now I'm gonna veer off
5:50
this trail take some surface streets
5:53
roam around get a better peek at some of
5:57
the items I showed from the pathway
6:06
even though technically I'm still an
6:06
orange standing here a few feet away you
6:08
see the the Anaheim welcome sign all the
6:14
towns are very close to each other
6:31
always reminds me of something from the
6:34
future I need to say just how unbusy the
6:41
roads are leading from there to the
6:45
Honda Center
6:50
Wow
6:50
a slightly distant view of Angel Stadium
6:53
however sidewalk is accessible and I'm
6:56
seeing fight a few people up there
6:58
walking and jogging I'm gonna go in
7:21
the back of the scoreboard and some more
7:21
of those vehicles that are parked here
7:23
stationary at the moment the Grove
7:25
center of the strain way over there
7:50
the side of the entrance to batting
7:50
helmets
7:57
you walk right through the middle to go
7:57
in at least in the front entrance well I
8:01
guess not really batting helmets per se
8:03
just a baseball cap there's Mickey
8:15
holding a baseball in fact new era has a
8:15
sign right up there stating the size of
8:18
this cap is 649 and a half by their
8:22
regulations dryclean only please that's
8:26
really the only way to clean it or
8:29
pressure Washington this one's case in
8:31
life just like in this sport it's a
8:33
number of times you reach home safely
8:36
accounts
8:43
very true there is no documentation of
8:43
this but just in my brain I feel as if I
8:46
am less likely to be asked what are you
8:49
doing
8:50
cruising around on a bicycle than just
8:54
meandering on foot on walk just walking
8:58
a little quicker pace and it seems as if
9:02
you have a purpose that you're on the
9:05
bicycle which I do you know getting
9:06
little cardio in and enjoying the fresh
9:09
air and Sun however you can do a little
9:12
sightseeing
9:14
it just seems it makes more sense to me
9:17
on the bike then trying to walk miles
9:21
and miles and miles and miles and miles
9:23
and have people say what are you doing
9:25
why are you walking through here maybe
9:29
just maybe that's my box for Anaheim
9:32
Garden Grove and orange this is that
9:36
training facility that's what I showed
9:49
restored four-story structure some
9:49
charred markings on it way off in the
9:55
distance see a transportation depot way
10:00
over there
10:20
back on the river path now found a nice
10:20
little shades but while technically not
10:22
in the shade now but just a little bit
10:25
behind the back wheel is probably should
10:27
walk probably just walk over there and
10:30
get in the shaded area a bit better in
10:32
the shade it is Sun is not really
10:36
wouldn't say it was permeating but it is
10:38
it is starting to warm up
10:45
Mike's working out pretty good so far
10:45
the legs are handling it the body is
10:49
handling it the scene is pretty
10:50
comfortable however after trekking
10:52
around for quite a bit of not being used
10:54
to sitting on a seat like that that
10:59
might take some getting used to it is
11:01
not uncomfortable but after a few hours
11:04
of doing it start to feel it a little
11:06
bit I'm happy with it thus far I'm not
11:10
super content with the GoPro setup it's
11:13
a little noisy the contraption that I
11:16
have it rigged with it has a little bit
11:19
to be desired
11:21
it is bendable but because it's bendable
11:23
every bump every nook and cranny that I
11:26
cruise over I almost have to edit out
11:30
and even the footage that is left in is
11:33
a little noisy a little distracting it
11:37
kind of adds to the ambience a bit
11:39
however I might go up with another
11:42
system at some point
11:46
if I go moderately slow and on a level
11:49
surface
11:50
it's not too bad everything everything
11:53
works properly it's when it gets a
11:54
little bumpy off-road and there's cracks
11:57
in the sidewalk that's when there's a
12:00
problem there's a dirt path as well for
12:08
those who are walking I guess you could
12:10
take a bike on it too if you had an
12:12
off-road type that would be a little bit
12:15
bumpy
12:39
oh my goodness those are so brave Wow
12:39

13:54
the outdoors the fresh air the sights
13:54
and sounds the ambiance of nature well
13:59
as much nature as you could get with
14:01
freeways running to and fro but over
14:05
time there will be other areas that
14:09
might not be freeway induced early
14:13
freeway in the same vicinity maybe most
14:17
likely
