26:23 California, you know, building codes and all that stuff, but also a lot of stuff

26:24 all that stuff, but also a lot of stuff

26:24 all that stuff, but also a lot of stuff like this, the old water wheel that

26:26 like this, the old water wheel that

26:26 like this, the old water wheel that actually powers that mill in there and

26:29 actually powers that mill in there and

26:29 actually powers that mill in there and some of the actual connecting tissue

26:31 some of the actual connecting tissue

26:31 some of the actual connecting tissue pieces that sort of make it work. The

26:33 pieces that sort of make it work. The

26:33 pieces that sort of make it work. The mechanical pieces were also made out of

26:34 mechanical pieces were also made out of

26:34 mechanical pieces were also made out of wood or old now rusted away metal. And

26:37 wood or old now rusted away metal. And

26:37 wood or old now rusted away metal. And you can see here that not only has this

26:39 you can see here that not only has this

26:39 you can see here that not only has this like rotted obviously at the bottom and

26:41 like rotted obviously at the bottom and

26:41 like rotted obviously at the bottom and it's tilting, but the wheel is no longer

26:44 it's tilting, but the wheel is no longer

26:44 it's tilting, but the wheel is no longer turning, although the water is on, which

26:46 turning, although the water is on, which

26:46 turning, although the water is on, which is very nice to see. See, look, another

26:48 is very nice to see. See, look, another

26:48 is very nice to see. See, look, another old faded sign. We could replace that

26:50 old faded sign. We could replace that

26:50 old faded sign. We could replace that bad boy. You see a whole chunk of the

26:52 bad boy. You see a whole chunk of the

26:52 bad boy. You see a whole chunk of the water wheel has completely rotted. I

26:55 water wheel has completely rotted. I

26:55 water wheel has completely rotted. I mean, this is natural. And here's the

26:56 mean, this is natural. And here's the

26:56 mean, this is natural. And here's the thing. It totally fits into ghost town,

26:58 thing. It totally fits into ghost town,

26:58 thing. It totally fits into ghost town, seeing like the kind of wrecked ravages

27:00 seeing like the kind of wrecked ravages

27:00 seeing like the kind of wrecked ravages and the ruins, but there's only so long

27:02 and the ruins, but there's only so long

27:02 and the ruins, but there's only so long you can leave it like this before it's

27:03 you can leave it like this before it's

27:03 you can leave it like this before it's not going to exist at all, much less be

27:06 not going to exist at all, much less be

27:06 not going to exist at all, much less be able to turn that little flywheel right

27:08 able to turn that little flywheel right

27:08 able to turn that little flywheel right there. I believe that's what it's

27:09 there. I believe that's what it's

27:09 there. I believe that's what it's called. I'm not a mechanic. Uh that

27:11 called. I'm not a mechanic. Uh that

27:11 called. I'm not a mechanic. Uh that turns the mill inside. So, this could

27:13 turns the mill inside. So, this could

27:13 turns the mill inside. So, this could all be fixed up and restored. Now, it's

27:16 all be fixed up and restored. Now, it's

27:16 all be fixed up and restored. Now, it's a major theme park company like Six

27:17 a major theme park company like Six

27:17 a major theme park company like Six Flag, Cedar Fair. Are they going to

27:19 Flag, Cedar Fair. Are they going to

27:19 Flag, Cedar Fair. Are they going to prioritize that? No. What I've been

27:20 prioritize that? No. What I've been

27:20 prioritize that? No. What I've been thinking about for years in my head is

27:22 thinking about for years in my head is

27:22 thinking about for years in my head is like, is there some way to start like a

27:24 like, is there some way to start like a

27:24 like, is there some way to start like a private almost like a Knottberry Farm

27:26 private almost like a Knottberry Farm

27:26 private almost like a Knottberry Farm historical society where we could raise

27:29 historical society where we could raise

27:29 historical society where we could raise funds or find the craftsman to restore

27:32 funds or find the craftsman to restore

27:32 funds or find the craftsman to restore this stuff ourselves? Are there laws

27:34 this stuff ourselves? Are there laws

27:34 this stuff ourselves? Are there laws that prevent that? Is it is it insurance

27:36 that prevent that? Is it is it insurance

27:36 that prevent that? Is it is it insurance stuff? Like, like could somebody

27:38 stuff? Like, like could somebody

27:38 stuff? Like, like could somebody navigate that? I just have this

27:39 navigate that? I just have this

27:39 navigate that? I just have this instinctive feeling, right, that if the

27:41 instinctive feeling, right, that if the

27:41 instinctive feeling, right, that if the funds were there, the craftsmen were

27:43 funds were there, the craftsmen were

27:43 funds were there, the craftsmen were there, the people, the volunteers were

27:44 there, the people, the volunteers were

27:44 there, the people, the volunteers were there, that maybe it'd be easy to make a

27:46 there, that maybe it'd be easy to make a

27:46 there, that maybe it'd be easy to make a pitch. So, I hope I'm not a good organiz

27:49 pitch. So, I hope I'm not a good organiz

27:49 pitch. So, I hope I'm not a good organiz organizer at all in any way, shape, or

27:51 organizer at all in any way, shape, or

27:51 organizer at all in any way, shape, or form, but I would hope that maybe

27:52 form, but I would hope that maybe

27:52 form, but I would hope that maybe somebody out there could start something

27:54 somebody out there could start something

27:54 somebody out there could start something like that. I just have this feeling that

27:55 like that. I just have this feeling that

27:55 like that. I just have this feeling that if it was all there ready to go and we

27:57 if it was all there ready to go and we

27:57 if it was all there ready to go and we could figure out the legality and the

27:58 could figure out the legality and the

27:58 could figure out the legality and the insurance and all that kind of stuff

27:59 insurance and all that kind of stuff

28:00 insurance and all that kind of stuff that, you know, maybe it's possible to

28:02 that, you know, maybe it's possible to

28:02 that, you know, maybe it's possible to get stuff like this restored, to go to

28:03 get stuff like this restored, to go to

28:03 get stuff like this restored, to go to Six Flag Cedar Fair and say like, "Hey,

28:05 Six Flag Cedar Fair and say like, "Hey,

30:10 So, it's entirely possible that this

30:10 So, it's entirely possible that this hearse was actually built at Knottberry

30:11 hearse was actually built at Knottberry

30:11 hearse was actually built at Knottberry Farm, although just as likely that it

30:13 Farm, although just as likely that it

30:17 no longer have a wagon shop to maintain

30:17 no longer have a wagon shop to maintain these type of things. And I'm sure that

30:19 these type of things. And I'm sure that

30:19 these type of things. And I'm sure that they're overworked and underbudgeted.

30:21 they're overworked and underbudgeted.

30:21 they're overworked and underbudgeted. And a lot of places since the pandemic

30:22 And a lot of places since the pandemic

30:22 And a lot of places since the pandemic have had a really hard time finding

30:33 raised to get something like this. This

30:33 raised to get something like this. This is just what I'm talking about.

30:34 is just what I'm talking about.

30:34 is just what I'm talking about. Something like this. There may be

30:35 Something like this. There may be

30:36 Something like this. There may be someone out here who goes, "Oh, I could

31:20 school playground features which I

31:20 school playground features which I thought was a really cool addition. I

31:22 thought was a really cool addition. I

31:22 thought was a really cool addition. I mean they kind of broken apart a little

31:23 mean they kind of broken apart a little

31:23 mean they kind of broken apart a little bit but that adds to the authenticity,

31:25 bit but that adds to the authenticity,

31:25 bit but that adds to the authenticity, right? They're not meant to actually be

31:26 right? They're not meant to actually be

31:26 right? They're not meant to actually be played on. Little things like the old

31:28 played on. Little things like the old

31:28 played on. Little things like the old barrels or the old outhouse. They've

31:30 barrels or the old outhouse. They've

31:30 barrels or the old outhouse. They've been doing phenomenally. What I'm saying

31:31 been doing phenomenally. What I'm saying

31:32 been doing phenomenally. What I'm saying is, you know, they've got to think about

31:33 is, you know, they've got to think about

31:40 rent and keeps the lights on, right? So,

31:40 rent and keeps the lights on, right? So, I'm just wondering if there's a way to

31:42 I'm just wondering if there's a way to

31:42 I'm just wondering if there's a way to get um private citizens of Calico, like

31:44 get um private citizens of Calico, like

31:44 get um private citizens of Calico, like me with the signs, for example, people

31:46 me with the signs, for example, people

31:46 me with the signs, for example, people who would be willing to help restore

31:47 who would be willing to help restore

31:47 who would be willing to help restore some of this stuff, if there's a way to

31:49 some of this stuff, if there's a way to

31:49 some of this stuff, if there's a way to get them involved. I don't know who in

31:51 get them involved. I don't know who in

31:51 get them involved. I don't know who in the world you'd have to talk to for

31:52 the world you'd have to talk to for

31:52 the world you'd have to talk to for something like that. I definitely

31:53 something like that. I definitely

31:53 something like that. I definitely couldn't figure it out, but I'm just

31:54 couldn't figure it out, but I'm just

31:54 couldn't figure it out, but I'm just throwing that out in a breeze just in

31:56 throwing that out in a breeze just in

31:56 throwing that out in a breeze just in case, you know, there might be someone

31:57 case, you know, there might be someone

31:57 case, you know, there might be someone out there who is very organized and

31:58 out there who is very organized and
