23:22 to figure out exactly where those nautilus waterfalls

23:25 exactly where those nautilus waterfalls

23:25 exactly where those nautilus waterfalls were

23:25 were

23:25 were which were basically bang on the money

23:27 which were basically bang on the money right here where this restricted gate is

23:29 right here where this restricted gate is

23:29 right here where this restricted gate is if you look at where the mine train

23:30 if you look at where the mine train

23:30 if you look at where the mine train crests that little hill into the loop

23:32 crests that little hill into the loop

23:32 crests that little hill into the loop that's basically bang on the money

23:34 that's basically bang on the money

23:34 that's basically bang on the money perfect now the only reason this is

23:35 perfect now the only reason this is

23:35 perfect now the only reason this is important is because i would say

23:37 important is because i would say

23:37 important is because i would say nine tenths of all the old photos you
