0:24
a road trip
0:24
saddle up buddy even though normally
0:27

0:29
going on a ride I have once again made
0:32
it back down into Utah traveling to
0:35
highways and byways main objective
0:38
stay off the interstate really is
0:40
beautiful out here next to the road it's
0:43
a nice little River and train tracks the
0:47
mountains one would say are my chest ik
0:52
indeed I always find it very interesting
0:55
how they carve out the thoroughfares
1:00
check that out over there it's like a
1:04
carving through the mountain as well as
1:07
those railroad tunnels that go directly
1:10
through the hill itself this is highway
1:13
89 south it runs parallel well kind of
1:17
parallel to the freeway but I prefer the
1:20
roads a little less populated like this
1:23
one
1:41
I'm pretty much surrounded by mountains
1:41
at this point they are on all sides to
1:44
the right directly in front of me behind
1:50
me and to the left of me
1:53
sweet old coca-cola sign here at Thomas
1:56
grocery this is a relic of the past and
2:00
Oh check it out nice old Pepsi clock up
2:04
there also that's an antique I've never
2:06
heard of Prairie fuel before but
2:10
evidently if you have a bison just ride
2:12
them up right here and where's the
2:15
where's the nozzle gasps it doesn't
2:17
however look like it's been opened and
2:19
quite some time I've been asked recently
2:21
if my windshield wipers work
2:23
the answer is I like this guy standing
2:29
alone you staring me down however going
2:33
to have a staring contest in the town of
2:35
gun lesan is a legend an urban myth that
2:40
underneath this low-lying bridge is a
2:44
creature of mythical proportions do you
2:49
see him do you see about are you down
2:54
here
2:54
Oh I hear the roar
2:58
I hear the roar of a dragon a dragon I
3:03
swear I saw a dragon made a guess listen
3:08
he's roaring Wow does that listen it's
3:23
crazy
3:23
in all honesty it's pretty genius the
3:27
vehicles that are driving across the top
3:29
of the bridge simulates the SAP that is
3:39
pretty freakin cool
3:46
the projectile flames shooting out of
3:46
his mouth I've never seen a dragon with
3:50
faith before yes thanks
3:54
take he's acidity dragon that goes on
3:59
and on and on and on my favorite thing
4:03
about them not only is he working
4:06
directly below the traveler but they are
4:09
helping
4:16
what's that big the foot you don't
4:16
believe in dragons don't you know that
4:18
dragon cartilage keeps you seen dragon's
4:22
fattest fault
4:24
burns a dragon tear will clear up your
4:28
sarcasm
4:29
this is awkward now you're pulling in
4:31
now to the community of Salina Oh
4:35
seen a wacky inflatable balloon man in
4:38
quite some time Henry George 5 cent
4:41
cigars yeah that's uh that's a few years
4:44
old right there that advertiser painted
4:47
on the side of the building if you buy
4:48
just one it's normal price but if you're
4:51
in the mood for for bikers you can you
4:55
can own for bikers for 20% off if you're
4:57
thirsty I think we've come to the right
5:00
place
5:02
those does it be considered a bigger
5:07
than a big go my RV has now parked at
5:10
the base of the statue which according
5:12
to the inscription is dedicated to
5:15
Indian chief Blackhawk and it states
5:19
2004 but the more I look at this and how
5:23
the paint is chipping of thinking it has
5:26
been in this location for longer than
5:31
that age states but he's still here
5:35
standing strong next to the road I don't
5:40
think I've ever had taco time I'll give
5:43
it a shot it's good to have this table
5:48
area back I had it laid down it's like a
5:50
recliner this table folds down you can
5:53
kind of just relax right in here but I
5:55
raised it back up and now it's a table
5:58
again I like it like this I think I
6:02
might keep it like this
6:08
now I could have eaten inside but I
6:08
decided I have a little more privacy
6:11
inside the comfort of my own RV if
6:15
dragons really did exist in this day and
6:17
age they would live up there in those
6:20
mountains it almost looks as if it's
6:22
breathing fire
6:24
that's the fog from his nostrils just
6:28
hang it around up there that cavernous
6:30
area that's been definitely be
6:32
considered scenic route
6:37
Wow
6:39
so cool as I stand here in gaze at the
6:41
beauty of this I was just noticing my
6:45
foot is basically is hanging out right
6:47
on the side of this very loose rock and
6:50
my shoes my shoes moderately kind of
6:52
sort of untied if I was to slip down in
6:56
that rapid current I would be width down
6:59
three look at the coloration of the side
7:01
of that have you ever seen anything like
7:04
this before it almost looks like sand
7:07
but it's not it's pure rock what do you
7:10
think the person who discovered this
7:12
that first wandered through these trees
7:14
and saw this for the first time was
7:17
thinking like what set heck
7:47
he hasn't had a big fall yet looks to be
7:47
pretty dang secure sitting up there on
7:51
that ledge in front of this farmhouse
7:55
and there are some interesting things
7:57
out here on the premises a yard full of
8:01
creepy skeleton including this dog this
8:06
canine of the undead look at him there
8:11
waiting don't pet him don't even attempt
8:15
to get too close he might say whew
8:18
was that a bat hey there is a plethora
8:22
of horror out here next to this field
8:27
and dinosaurs I stopped at a store and
8:30
picked up this magnet what happens here
8:33
stays here but nothing really happens
8:39
here this gift shop looks like a huge
8:44
rock or ice cream sundae or something
8:49
but I think it's supposed to be a big
8:51
rock I have to be honest I'm not a
8:55
hundred percent sure what this is
8:59
supposed to be that design it's like a
9:03
shell or is it it really is a
9:08
operational business they serve lattes
9:12
and expressos inside that Boulder I was
9:15
just going to say how it reminded me of
9:16
Fred and Barney when I noticed this it's
9:23
angled as this you just pull right up in
9:25
the parking spot to walk inside my sound
9:28
effect was pretty good admit it wait I
9:31
take that back I pretended as if it had
9:33
a motor that's operated by feet they
9:36
have an old fire engine on side as well
9:40
look at that backdrop I found a little
9:44
RV park tucked away in this corner some
9:49
power on that side
10:02
all connected fully powered-up
10:02
there's no water at this station so at
10:06
least I got some juice
10:07
they don't have to run the generator
10:09
here at the crossroads and there's a
10:12
little store over there as well the
10:13
mural located on the side of the wall
10:15
they've even seemed out their electrical
10:18
boxes and air-conditioning unit across
10:22
the street is a sweet old-school motel
10:24
equipped with a neon sign it's not
10:27
operational but nonetheless pretty
10:30
fantastic I was reading up on the
10:32
history of the Thunderbird and this
10:33
restaurant has been open since the early
10:35
1930s and they coined the phrase home of
10:39
the homemade pies not homemade homemade
10:44
cigar store Indians are always
10:46
interesting they were originally created
10:48
to promote cigars obviously people would
10:52
see him holding them and then want to
10:55
run inside and purchase one for them
10:56
sound like ant tell if that's a friendly
10:58
gaze but both of them are both staring
11:03
attentively it's hard to tell if they're
11:07
buddies or mean-mugging each other I am
11:10
now going to retire to my accommodations
11:12
for the evening originally I was just
11:15
going to boondock it which means not be
11:17
connected to anything when I saw that
11:19
gentleman who said for $15 you just pull
11:22
over here
11:23
pretty nice ambiance out there you can
11:26
hear the bugs and the other creatures of
11:28
the wild making noise there's no Wi-Fi
11:31
here obviously but I had full bars on my
11:35
phone which helped in the decision on
11:38
camping here see you guys tomorrow
11:40
vlog oh I meant to turn both the lights
11:49
off at one time but I just I messed up
11:51

11:52
