0:04 couple of days in Atoria, Oregon for the

0:04 couple of days in Atoria, Oregon for the Goonies 40th anniversary, I've been

0:06 Goonies 40th anniversary, I've been

0:06 Goonies 40th anniversary, I've been traveling down the Oregon coast. One of

0:08 traveling down the Oregon coast. One of

0:25 don't know if I'm going to be able to

0:25 don't know if I'm going to be able to film today. It's like somebody hit me in

0:27 film today. It's like somebody hit me in

0:30 the face with my own all my own bad

0:30 the face with my own all my own bad decisions.

0:32 decisions.

0:32 decisions. Probably wouldn't make for the most sexy

0:35 Probably wouldn't make for the most sexy

0:35 Probably wouldn't make for the most sexy thing. I thought to myself, self, that's

0:37 thing. I thought to myself, self, that's

0:37 thing. I thought to myself, self, that's a bummer. I guess all we're going to do

0:39 a bummer. I guess all we're going to do

0:39 a bummer. I guess all we're going to do today is cruise down the road. Nothing

0:41 today is cruise down the road. Nothing

0:41 today is cruise down the road. Nothing else we can do. As you can hear, it's

0:43 else we can do. As you can hear, it's

0:43 else we can do. As you can hear, it's come back slightly. Also, several days

0:45 come back slightly. Also, several days

0:45 come back slightly. Also, several days behind editing videos. So, I figured

0:47 behind editing videos. So, I figured

0:47 behind editing videos. So, I figured maybe that's for the best. I'll book a

0:48 maybe that's for the best. I'll book a

0:48 maybe that's for the best. I'll book a hotel pretty close by in the bottom of

0:50 hotel pretty close by in the bottom of

0:50 hotel pretty close by in the bottom of Oregon. That way, I only have to do a

0:52 Oregon. That way, I only have to do a

0:52 Oregon. That way, I only have to do a little drive and we'll catch up with the

0:53 little drive and we'll catch up with the

0:53 little drive and we'll catch up with the computer stuff. Somehow that's just not

0:55 computer stuff. Somehow that's just not

0:56 computer stuff. Somehow that's just not enough. Especially while passing by

0:59 enough. Especially while passing by

2:00 took 2 years to finish the first five

2:00 took 2 years to finish the first five dinosaurs. But over the next 30 years

2:02 dinosaurs. But over the next 30 years

2:02 dinosaurs. But over the next 30 years into the 1980s, Ernie sculpted 23

2:06 into the 1980s, Ernie sculpted 23

2:06 into the 1980s, Ernie sculpted 23 dinosaurs. Now spread out on 33 of those

2:09 dinosaurs. Now spread out on 33 of those

2:09 dinosaurs. Now spread out on 33 of those original 77 primeval acres. And having

2:11 original 77 primeval acres. And having

2:11 original 77 primeval acres. And having traveled up and down the Pacific coast a

2:13 traveled up and down the Pacific coast a

2:13 traveled up and down the Pacific coast a lot, I can tell you they are some of the

2:15 lot, I can tell you they are some of the

2:16 lot, I can tell you they are some of the most beautiful acres of woods and

2:20 most beautiful acres of woods and

2:20 most beautiful acres of woods and streams and moss and crazy plants I have

2:23 streams and moss and crazy plants I have ever had the pleasure to see or film.

2:26 ever had the pleasure to see or film.

2:26 ever had the pleasure to see or film. And I'm finally back and ready to head

2:28 And I'm finally back and ready to head

2:28 And I'm finally back and ready to head inside. Dude, I love everything about

2:31 inside. Dude, I love everything about

2:31 inside. Dude, I love everything about this place. From the dinosaurs,

2:32 this place. From the dinosaurs,

2:32 this place. From the dinosaurs, obviously, to the plants here to the

2:34 obviously, to the plants here to the

2:34 obviously, to the plants here to the handpainted signs leading into the world

2:37 handpainted signs leading into the world

2:37 handpainted signs leading into the world of long ago. I know it's hard to read

2:39 of long ago. I know it's hard to read

2:39 of long ago. I know it's hard to read this on camera because of the light

2:41 this on camera because of the light

2:41 this on camera because of the light through the trees, but there's all kinds

2:43 through the trees, but there's all kinds

2:43 through the trees, but there's all kinds of information on here leading you into

2:46 of information on here leading you into

2:46 of information on here leading you into the prehistoric garden. Look at this.

2:47 the prehistoric garden. Look at this.

2:48 the prehistoric garden. Look at this. Even these wooden benches look primeval.

2:50 Even these wooden benches look primeval.

2:50 Even these wooden benches look primeval. Oh, it feels so good to be back. It is

2:51 Oh, it feels so good to be back. It is

2:51 Oh, it feels so good to be back. It is so gorgeous out here. You know me, I

2:54 so gorgeous out here. You know me, I

2:54 so gorgeous out here. You know me, I love a good roadside attraction. That's

2:56 love a good roadside attraction. That's

2:56 love a good roadside attraction. That's why I initially stopped at the

2:57 why I initially stopped at the

2:58 why I initially stopped at the prehistoric gardens the first time I

2:59 prehistoric gardens the first time I

2:59 prehistoric gardens the first time I ever came. I was obviously just ready to

3:02 ever came. I was obviously just ready to

3:02 ever came. I was obviously just ready to go wild on seeing dinosaurs and get

3:05 go wild on seeing dinosaurs and get

3:05 go wild on seeing dinosaurs and get excited and start screaming my head off.

3:07 excited and start screaming my head off.

3:07 excited and start screaming my head off. But what right away impressed me the

3:08 But what right away impressed me the

3:08 But what right away impressed me the most and left a very lasting impression

3:11 most and left a very lasting impression

3:11 most and left a very lasting impression is just the environment out here. The

3:14 is just the environment out here. The

3:14 is just the environment out here. The atmosphere of it, the sounds of the

3:16 atmosphere of it, the sounds of the

3:16 atmosphere of it, the sounds of the birds and the insects and just the

3:20 birds and the insects and just the

3:20 birds and the insects and just the homemade and well-loved nature of this

3:22 homemade and well-loved nature of this

3:22 homemade and well-loved nature of this place. And look at that. Like I said,

3:24 place. And look at that. Like I said,

3:24 place. And look at that. Like I said, she's like all the hand painted signs

3:25 she's like all the hand painted signs

3:25 she's like all the hand painted signs and everything. The history here. 70

3:28 and everything. The history here. 70

3:28 and everything. The history here. 70 years of dinosaur history and more than

3:32 years of dinosaur history and more than

3:32 years of dinosaur history and more than 300 year old trees, the ferns. There's

3:35 300 year old trees, the ferns. There's

3:35 300 year old trees, the ferns. There's roots sticking out into the path. It

3:37 roots sticking out into the path. It

3:37 roots sticking out into the path. It just feels a little bit untamed, a

3:40 just feels a little bit untamed, a

3:40 just feels a little bit untamed, a little bit wild in the best way. Dude,

3:42 little bit wild in the best way. Dude,

3:42 little bit wild in the best way. Dude, look at the sh of this brachiosaurus

3:45 look at the sh of this brachiosaurus

3:46 look at the sh of this brachiosaurus right here. That is so amazing. I think

3:48 right here. That is so amazing. I think

3:48 right here. That is so amazing. I think most of the original dinosaurs out here

3:50 most of the original dinosaurs out here

3:50 most of the original dinosaurs out here had steel frames covered with wire mesh

3:54 had steel frames covered with wire mesh

3:54 had steel frames covered with wire mesh and then eventually concrete. So, some

3:57 and then eventually concrete. So, some

3:57 and then eventually concrete. So, some of these dinosaurs are going to be here

3:58 of these dinosaurs are going to be here

3:58 of these dinosaurs are going to be here for quite a long time. Obviously, Ernie

4:01 for quite a long time. Obviously, Ernie

4:01 for quite a long time. Obviously, Ernie Nelson got much better at making

4:03 Nelson got much better at making

4:03 Nelson got much better at making dinosaurs over the years. And since he's

4:05 dinosaurs over the years. And since he's

4:05 dinosaurs over the years. And since he's been gone, his grandchildren have been

4:07 been gone, his grandchildren have been

4:07 been gone, his grandchildren have been running the place. I believe some more

4:08 running the place. I believe some more

4:08 running the place. I believe some more have been added since his death in 1999.

4:11 have been added since his death in 1999.

4:11 have been added since his death in 1999. I could be wrong about that, but even in

4:13 I could be wrong about that, but even in

4:13 I could be wrong about that, but even in the front of the place, you'll see some

4:14 the front of the place, you'll see some

4:14 the front of the place, you'll see some more modern dinosaur statues. Not sure

4:16 more modern dinosaur statues. Not sure

4:16 more modern dinosaur statues. Not sure about inside. I don't remember. But

4:17 about inside. I don't remember. But

4:17 about inside. I don't remember. But that's part of the fun of coming back.

4:19 that's part of the fun of coming back.

4:20 that's part of the fun of coming back. Dude, if I was planning on having a more

4:21 Dude, if I was planning on having a more

4:22 Dude, if I was planning on having a more mellow day than I normally do in a more

4:24 mellow day than I normally do in a more

4:24 mellow day than I normally do in a more mellow adventure that is yet still

4:26 mellow adventure that is yet still

4:26 mellow adventure that is yet still filled with amazing and wonderful and

4:28 filled with amazing and wonderful and

4:28 filled with amazing and wonderful and exciting things, I could not have picked

4:31 exciting things, I could not have picked

4:31 exciting things, I could not have picked a better spot. This really worked out.

4:33 a better spot. This really worked out.

4:33 a better spot. This really worked out. Dude, look at that freaking triceratops.

4:36 Dude, look at that freaking triceratops.

4:36 Dude, look at that freaking triceratops. This is what I love so much. Now, Ernie

4:38 This is what I love so much. Now, Ernie

4:38 This is what I love so much. Now, Ernie did actually put a lot of research into

4:39 did actually put a lot of research into

4:40 did actually put a lot of research into this. He spent 3 years researching

4:42 this. He spent 3 years researching

4:42 this. He spent 3 years researching dinosaur anatomy, drawing their

4:44 dinosaur anatomy, drawing their

4:44 dinosaur anatomy, drawing their skeletons, and actually even consulting

4:46 skeletons, and actually even consulting

4:46 skeletons, and actually even consulting with paleontologists and visiting

4:48 with paleontologists and visiting

4:48 with paleontologists and visiting museums to ensure his dinosaurs would be

4:51 museums to ensure his dinosaurs would be

4:51 museums to ensure his dinosaurs would be as accurate as possible. But it was also

4:54 as accurate as possible. But it was also

4:54 as accurate as possible. But it was also the early 1950s, right? Paleontology,

4:56 the early 1950s, right? Paleontology,

4:56 the early 1950s, right? Paleontology, relatively speaking, was in some early

4:59 relatively speaking, was in some early

4:59 relatively speaking, was in some early stages. But that's what I love about

5:00 stages. But that's what I love about

5:00 stages. But that's what I love about these dinosaurs, particularly the

5:02 these dinosaurs, particularly the

5:02 these dinosaurs, particularly the earlier the better because they have

5:04 earlier the better because they have

5:04 earlier the better because they have that kind of handmade classic fun

5:07 that kind of handmade classic fun

5:07 that kind of handmade classic fun dinosaur look. You know what I mean?

5:09 dinosaur look. You know what I mean?

5:09 dinosaur look. You know what I mean? Like nowadays we can do much more

5:10 Like nowadays we can do much more

5:10 Like nowadays we can do much more accurate dinosaur replicas, get feathers

5:12 accurate dinosaur replicas, get feathers

5:12 accurate dinosaur replicas, get feathers on them. We have animatronic dinosaurs

5:14 on them. We have animatronic dinosaurs

5:14 on them. We have animatronic dinosaurs in museums and stuff, but there's

5:16 in museums and stuff, but there's

5:16 in museums and stuff, but there's something about the old school handmade

5:20 something about the old school handmade

5:20 something about the old school handmade gigantic concrete dinosaur roadside

5:29 They are fun looking. Look at this. Look

5:29 They are fun looking. Look at this. Look at the dimetradon.

5:30 at the dimetradon.

5:30 at the dimetradon. Look at him just skullking around in the

5:33 Look at him just skullking around in the

5:33 Look at him just skullking around in the bushes right there. I love it. I love

5:34 bushes right there. I love it. I love

5:34 bushes right there. I love it. I love the shape, the color. Look at the detail

5:37 the shape, the color. Look at the detail

5:40 they're in. I mean, look at the way the

5:40 they're in. I mean, look at the way the moss grows on the fences and all the old

5:44 moss grows on the fences and all the old

5:44 moss grows on the fences and all the old ferns and everything. It doesn't hurt

5:46 ferns and everything. It doesn't hurt

5:46 ferns and everything. It doesn't hurt that Jurassic Park 2, one of the things

5:49 that Jurassic Park 2, one of the things

5:49 that Jurassic Park 2, one of the things that lodged dinosaurs in our brains

5:51 that lodged dinosaurs in our brains

5:51 that lodged dinosaurs in our brains forever, was partly filmed up here.

5:52 forever, was partly filmed up here.

5:52 forever, was partly filmed up here. Well, close to here in the Pacific

5:54 Well, close to here in the Pacific

5:54 Well, close to here in the Pacific Northwest. I don't know how accurate my

5:56 Northwest. I don't know how accurate my

5:56 Northwest. I don't know how accurate my mental image of dinosaur times is, but

5:58 mental image of dinosaur times is, but

5:58 mental image of dinosaur times is, but when I picture dinosaur times, all I

6:00 when I picture dinosaur times, all I

6:00 when I picture dinosaur times, all I think of is like ferns and rainforests

6:02 think of is like ferns and rainforests

6:02 think of is like ferns and rainforests and all that stuff. And this is a little

6:04 and all that stuff. And this is a little

6:04 and all that stuff. And this is a little section of Oregon rainforest. There was

6:07 section of Oregon rainforest. There was

6:07 section of Oregon rainforest. There was all kinds of mist coming over the

6:08 all kinds of mist coming over the

6:08 all kinds of mist coming over the highway this morning. That is what fuels

6:11 highway this morning. That is what fuels

6:11 highway this morning. That is what fuels all of this. That is where it gets all

6:13 all of this. That is where it gets all

6:13 all of this. That is where it gets all the water from. Look at the size of that

6:16 the water from. Look at the size of that

6:16 the water from. Look at the size of that tree right there. I know it's always

6:18 tree right there. I know it's always

6:18 tree right there. I know it's always hard to show scale on camera for trees.

6:21 hard to show scale on camera for trees.

6:21 hard to show scale on camera for trees. That tree is as wide across as my car

6:23 That tree is as wide across as my car

6:23 That tree is as wide across as my car is. All right, we got to follow these

6:25 is. All right, we got to follow these

6:25 is. All right, we got to follow these handmade concrete dinosaur tracks here.

6:28 handmade concrete dinosaur tracks here.

6:28 handmade concrete dinosaur tracks here. We don't want to go backwards up the

6:29 We don't want to go backwards up the

6:29 We don't want to go backwards up the wrong trail. It's just beautiful. Like I

6:32 wrong trail. It's just beautiful. Like I

6:32 wrong trail. It's just beautiful. Like I said, I think it's 33 acres of uh

6:35 said, I think it's 33 acres of uh

6:35 said, I think it's 33 acres of uh currently walkable dinosaur territory

6:38 currently walkable dinosaur territory

6:38 currently walkable dinosaur territory here. I wonder if they still own the

6:39 here. I wonder if they still own the

6:39 here. I wonder if they still own the other 40 acres and they could still

6:41 other 40 acres and they could still

6:41 other 40 acres and they could still expand. Look at this. You've got wooden

6:43 expand. Look at this. You've got wooden

6:43 expand. Look at this. You've got wooden bridges and little creeks and streams

6:46 bridges and little creeks and streams

6:46 bridges and little creeks and streams rolling through here. Again, hard to

6:48 rolling through here. Again, hard to

6:48 rolling through here. Again, hard to show scale, but some plants with some

6:49 show scale, but some plants with some

6:49 show scale, but some plants with some absolutely massive leaves. I don't see

6:52 absolutely massive leaves. I don't see

6:52 absolutely massive leaves. I don't see those on the side of the highway, man.

6:53 those on the side of the highway, man.

6:53 those on the side of the highway, man. You got to get into the little coastal

6:55 You got to get into the little coastal

6:55 You got to get into the little coastal rainforest to see that. Then look at

6:56 rainforest to see that. Then look at

6:56 rainforest to see that. Then look at these huge boulders here. I think hand

6:59 these huge boulders here. I think hand

6:59 these huge boulders here. I think hand man-made boulders with all this really

7:01 man-made boulders with all this really

7:01 man-made boulders with all this really awesome dino information. Out of the

7:03 awesome dino information. Out of the

7:03 awesome dino information. Out of the sea, the cradle of life came the first

7:05 sea, the cradle of life came the first

7:05 sea, the cradle of life came the first plants that appeared on land. These were

7:07 plants that appeared on land. These were

7:08 plants that appeared on land. These were the algae that began to move from the

7:10 the algae that began to move from the

7:10 the algae that began to move from the ancient seas onto the sand, etc., etc.

7:13 ancient seas onto the sand, etc., etc.

7:13 ancient seas onto the sand, etc., etc. The continents were barren, etc., etc.

7:16 The continents were barren, etc., etc.

7:16 The continents were barren, etc., etc. Life began to flourish. This is the

7:18 Life began to flourish. This is the

7:18 Life began to flourish. This is the plant life story right here on this one.

7:20 plant life story right here on this one.

7:20 plant life story right here on this one. As you can see, look here. Even more

7:22 As you can see, look here. Even more

7:22 As you can see, look here. Even more information. And it's funny because if I

7:24 information. And it's funny because if I

7:24 information. And it's funny because if I were at any other roadside attraction

7:26 were at any other roadside attraction

7:26 were at any other roadside attraction and there's all this information about

7:27 and there's all this information about

7:27 and there's all this information about plants, I'd probably get bored quickly.

7:29 plants, I'd probably get bored quickly.

7:29 plants, I'd probably get bored quickly. This place is so lush and beautiful. I

7:32 This place is so lush and beautiful. I

7:32 This place is so lush and beautiful. I mean, you do hear a little bit of

7:33 mean, you do hear a little bit of

7:34 mean, you do hear a little bit of highway traffic noise, but other than

7:35 highway traffic noise, but other than

7:35 highway traffic noise, but other than that, you could really imagine that

7:37 that, you could really imagine that

7:37 that, you could really imagine that you're here in some prime evil forest

7:39 you're here in some prime evil forest

7:39 you're here in some prime evil forest before the dawn of man. Look at this. I

7:42 before the dawn of man. Look at this. I

7:42 before the dawn of man. Look at this. I love the older ones. I love the older

7:44 love the older ones. I love the older

7:44 love the older ones. I love the older signs back here. I love that there's all

7:48 signs back here. I love that there's all

7:48 signs back here. I love that there's all this foliage growing up around them.

7:49 this foliage growing up around them.

7:49 this foliage growing up around them. Look at this. even into the past. You

7:51 Look at this. even into the past. You

9:24 the sign. So, one of the things I love

9:24 the sign. So, one of the things I love about Prehistoric Garden is that they

9:26 about Prehistoric Garden is that they

9:26 about Prehistoric Garden is that they have phonetic spellings over there

9:28 have phonetic spellings over there

9:28 have phonetic spellings over there because if there's one thing you don't

9:30 because if there's one thing you don't

9:30 because if there's one thing you don't want to do publicly, it's mispronounce

9:32 want to do publicly, it's mispronounce

9:32 want to do publicly, it's mispronounce the name of a dinosaur because dinosaur

9:34 the name of a dinosaur because dinosaur

9:34 the name of a dinosaur because dinosaur people will be all over you. Still, a

9:36 people will be all over you. Still, a

9:36 people will be all over you. Still, a little more plant information kind of

9:37 little more plant information kind of

9:37 little more plant information kind of letting you know how old some of these

9:40 letting you know how old some of these

9:40 letting you know how old some of these plants are, like how many epochs they go

9:43 plants are, like how many epochs they go

9:43 plants are, like how many epochs they go back in terms of evolution and all that

9:45 back in terms of evolution and all that

9:45 back in terms of evolution and all that is very interesting information, but

9:46 is very interesting information, but

9:46 is very interesting information, but it's very involved. Some of the signs

9:48 it's very involved. Some of the signs

9:48 it's very involved. Some of the signs and there are many of them. This is the

9:50 and there are many of them. This is the

9:50 and there are many of them. This is the plant life story number 10 over here

9:52 plant life story number 10 over here

9:52 plant life story number 10 over here have quite a bit of information. So

9:55 have quite a bit of information. So

9:55 have quite a bit of information. So that's uh probably best discussed in

9:57 that's uh probably best discussed in

9:57 that's uh probably best discussed in person. You know, look at that over

15:02 seen a lot of it in terms of what's off the major interstates. But the more I

15:05 the major interstates. But the more I

15:05 the major interstates. But the more I travel, the more I realize just how much

15:07 travel, the more I realize just how much

15:07 travel, the more I realize just how much there is to see and just how true it is

15:09 there is to see and just how true it is

15:09 there is to see and just how true it is that one lifetime is not even close to

15:12 that one lifetime is not even close to

15:12 that one lifetime is not even close to enough to see it all. Oh yeah. Look at

15:15 enough to see it all. Oh yeah. Look at

15:15 enough to see it all. Oh yeah. Look at that head peeking up through the trees.

15:17 that head peeking up through the trees.

15:17 that head peeking up through the trees. Yes. Oh man, would you look at the size

15:21 Yes. Oh man, would you look at the size

15:21 Yes. Oh man, would you look at the size of that thing. Wa. This is the

15:24 of that thing. Wa. This is the

15:24 of that thing. Wa. This is the Alasmosaurus, I think. Yeah. Look at

15:27 Alasmosaurus, I think. Yeah. Look at

15:27 Alasmosaurus, I think. Yeah. Look at that. Alasmosaurus. I remembered

15:29 that. Alasmosaurus. I remembered

15:29 that. Alasmosaurus. I remembered something from last time. mostly because

15:31 something from last time. mostly because

15:31 something from last time. mostly because it sounds very close to London's

15:32 it sounds very close to London's

15:32 it sounds very close to London's mother's maiden name. Some big old

15:35 mother's maiden name. Some big old

15:35 mother's maiden name. Some big old floppy fins on them. So, it's obviously

15:37 floppy fins on them. So, it's obviously

15:37 floppy fins on them. So, it's obviously some kind of like plesiosaur

15:39 some kind of like plesiosaur

15:39 some kind of like plesiosaur style water dinosaur. Dude, you can't

15:41 style water dinosaur. Dude, you can't

15:41 style water dinosaur. Dude, you can't even see the whole thing cuz it's all

15:43 even see the whole thing cuz it's all

15:43 even see the whole thing cuz it's all nestled in the plants. Got that big old

15:46 nestled in the plants. Got that big old

15:46 nestled in the plants. Got that big old long neck up there in the trees. Those

15:49 long neck up there in the trees. Those

15:49 long neck up there in the trees. Those rumples way back there in the ferns.

15:51 rumples way back there in the ferns.

15:51 rumples way back there in the ferns. Consequently, it's hard to get a photo

15:53 Consequently, it's hard to get a photo

15:53 Consequently, it's hard to get a photo or some footage that really does this

15:56 or some footage that really does this

15:56 or some footage that really does this dinosaur uh justice, this sculpture

15:59 dinosaur uh justice, this sculpture

15:59 dinosaur uh justice, this sculpture justice. just about tell you standing

16:00 justice. just about tell you standing

16:00 justice. just about tell you standing here. It's very hard to tell. There's a

16:02 here. It's very hard to tell. There's a

16:02 here. It's very hard to tell. There's a creek right down there. It's kind of

16:03 creek right down there. It's kind of

16:03 creek right down there. It's kind of overgrown, so it's hard to see on

16:05 overgrown, so it's hard to see on

16:05 overgrown, so it's hard to see on camera, but in person, you just get this

16:07 camera, but in person, you just get this

16:07 camera, but in person, you just get this feeling like this big old flopper

16:10 feeling like this big old flopper

16:10 feeling like this big old flopper flapped its way up out of that babbling

16:13 flapped its way up out of that babbling

16:13 flapped its way up out of that babbling brook down there. I don't know if you

16:14 brook down there. I don't know if you

16:14 brook down there. I don't know if you can hear that

16:17 can hear that

16:17 can hear that little babbling brook.

16:20 little babbling brook.

16:20 little babbling brook. Some creatures moving around down there,

16:22 Some creatures moving around down there,

16:22 Some creatures moving around down there, too. Weird. That's something else I was

16:24 too. Weird. That's something else I was

16:24 too. Weird. That's something else I was going to say. By the way, this tree

16:25 going to say. By the way, this tree

16:25 going to say. By the way, this tree trunk you can see over here, this huge

16:27 trunk you can see over here, this huge

16:27 trunk you can see over here, this huge tree trunk is probably I don't know. You

16:29 tree trunk is probably I don't know. You

16:29 tree trunk is probably I don't know. You could probably put four of me

16:31 could probably put four of me

16:31 could probably put four of me shouldertosh shoulder in front of that

16:32 shouldertosh shoulder in front of that

16:32 shouldertosh shoulder in front of that thing and still not quite cover it. It's

16:35 thing and still not quite cover it. It's

16:35 thing and still not quite cover it. It's huge. But yeah, this place uh gives you

16:37 huge. But yeah, this place uh gives you

16:38 huge. But yeah, this place uh gives you this crazy sense. Look at the back of

16:39 this crazy sense. Look at the back of

16:39 this crazy sense. Look at the back of the triceratops. He's right there. And I

16:41 the triceratops. He's right there. And I

16:41 the triceratops. He's right there. And I almost didn't see him at first.

16:43 almost didn't see him at first.

16:43 almost didn't see him at first. Prehistoric gardens gives you this weird

16:45 Prehistoric gardens gives you this weird

16:45 Prehistoric gardens gives you this weird sense that like anything could pop out

16:48 sense that like anything could pop out

16:48 sense that like anything could pop out at you at any moment. Not so much the

16:49 at you at any moment. Not so much the

16:49 at you at any moment. Not so much the dinosaurs are going to come to life and

16:51 dinosaurs are going to come to life and

16:51 dinosaurs are going to come to life and get me, but anything like Bigfoot, like

16:54 get me, but anything like Bigfoot, like

16:54 get me, but anything like Bigfoot, like even though this is a roadside

16:55 even though this is a roadside

16:55 even though this is a roadside attraction and tourists visit here every

16:57 attraction and tourists visit here every

16:57 attraction and tourists visit here every day, I just have the the strangest

17:00 day, I just have the the strangest

17:00 day, I just have the the strangest feeling like I'm being watched. Like

17:04 right up there on the hillside, if I look long enough, I might just see

17:07 if I look long enough, I might just see

17:07 if I look long enough, I might just see Sasquatch. See what I'm saying about

17:08 Sasquatch. See what I'm saying about

17:08 Sasquatch. See what I'm saying about these benches? They remind me of Trees

17:10 these benches? They remind me of Trees

17:10 these benches? They remind me of Trees of Mystery. That's the other place

17:12 of Mystery. That's the other place

17:12 of Mystery. That's the other place that's not too far away, not too many

17:13 that's not too far away, not too many

17:13 that's not too far away, not too many hours away down the coast in California

17:16 hours away down the coast in California

17:16 hours away down the coast in California that I absolutely love to walk around. A

17:19 that I absolutely love to walk around. A

17:19 that I absolutely love to walk around. A lot of coastal redwoods there. Some of

17:21 lot of coastal redwoods there. Some of

17:24 the tallest living things on planet

17:24 the tallest living things on planet Earth. See those roots right there in

17:26 Earth. See those roots right there in

17:26 Earth. See those roots right there in the path? You got to watch out for these

17:28 the path? You got to watch out for these

17:28 the path? You got to watch out for these as you walk around cuz they grow up and

17:31 as you walk around cuz they grow up and

17:31 as you walk around cuz they grow up and trip people with a vengeance. But yeah,

17:33 trip people with a vengeance. But yeah,

17:33 trip people with a vengeance. But yeah, that place has no giant concrete

18:36 sculpt. You know, there's something very anthropomorphic and yet it feels pretty

18:38 anthropomorphic and yet it feels pretty

18:38 anthropomorphic and yet it feels pretty faithful to what they thought dinosaurs

18:40 faithful to what they thought dinosaurs

18:40 faithful to what they thought dinosaurs looked like in the 1950s. The other

18:42 looked like in the 1950s. The other

18:42 looked like in the 1950s. The other thing is, I'm sure he got better at it

18:46 as he went along. But I love that the

18:46 as he went along. But I love that the early dinosaurs that were hand sculpted

18:49 early dinosaurs that were hand sculpted

18:49 early dinosaurs that were hand sculpted by the creator of this place are so

18:52 by the creator of this place are so

18:52 by the creator of this place are so smooth. Like look at him. The texture of

18:55 smooth. Like look at him. The texture of

21:47 hatched from. I love that. It's crazy

21:47 hatched from. I love that. It's crazy that dinosaur eggs were discovered. As

21:49 that dinosaur eggs were discovered. As

21:49 that dinosaur eggs were discovered. As the sign says right here, in 1923.

21:52 the sign says right here, in 1923.

21:52 the sign says right here, in 1923. That's when the first dinosaur eggs were

21:54 That's when the first dinosaur eggs were

21:54 That's when the first dinosaur eggs were discovered. So, we've only even had

21:55 discovered. So, we've only even had

21:55 discovered. So, we've only even had their eggs for 100 years. So, go back 70

21:59 their eggs for 100 years. So, go back 70

21:59 their eggs for 100 years. So, go back 70 years ago. Basically, when Mr. Nelson

22:02 years ago. Basically, when Mr. Nelson

22:02 years ago. Basically, when Mr. Nelson started making his dinosaurs out here in

22:05 started making his dinosaurs out here in

22:05 started making his dinosaurs out here in the prehistoric forest. We'd only even

22:08 the prehistoric forest. We'd only even

22:08 the prehistoric forest. We'd only even had dinosaur eggs for 30 years. There

22:10 had dinosaur eggs for 30 years. There

22:10 had dinosaur eggs for 30 years. There was much less information about

22:12 was much less information about

22:12 was much less information about dinosaurs around. That's why I think

22:14 dinosaurs around. That's why I think

22:14 dinosaurs around. That's why I think places like this need to be preserved

22:15 places like this need to be preserved

22:15 places like this need to be preserved forever. Yes, they can still give you

22:17 forever. Yes, they can still give you

22:17 forever. Yes, they can still give you accurate information and stuff like

22:36 discoveries, there's just a dino look and vibe and feel that changed

22:38 and vibe and feel that changed

22:38 and vibe and feel that changed dramatically in the 21st century. Maybe

22:40 dramatically in the 21st century. Maybe

23:33 have gone with, right? He's he's

23:33 have gone with, right? He's he's reptileike just like the other reptiles

23:35 reptileike just like the other reptiles

23:35 reptileike just like the other reptiles we got. Very curious what made him uh

23:38 we got. Very curious what made him uh

23:38 we got. Very curious what made him uh what made him mammalike. Were they

23:39 what made him mammalike. Were they

23:39 what made him mammalike. Were they trying to make him relatable? We've got

23:41 trying to make him relatable? We've got

23:41 trying to make him relatable? We've got to make the dinosaurs relatable or

23:48 Once again, look at this beautiful We're

23:48 Once again, look at this beautiful We're up on the hillside now, kind of

23:50 up on the hillside now, kind of

23:57 overlookish. I'm sure when they opened

23:57 overlookish. I'm sure when they opened this place and it had just first cleared

23:59 this place and it had just first cleared

23:59 this place and it had just first cleared the paths and all that kind of stuff,

24:01 the paths and all that kind of stuff,

24:01 the paths and all that kind of stuff, you could see more of the dinosaurs, but

24:02 you could see more of the dinosaurs, but

24:02 you could see more of the dinosaurs, but from up here right now, I can't see any

24:04 from up here right now, I can't see any

24:04 from up here right now, I can't see any of them. That's what makes it fun. you

24:06 of them. That's what makes it fun. you

24:06 of them. That's what makes it fun. you really feel like you need to explore

24:09 this place. You know, a lot of dinosaur

24:09 this place. You know, a lot of dinosaur themed attractions will be out in the

24:11 themed attractions will be out in the

24:11 themed attractions will be out in the desert or the prairies or oof, even the

24:13 desert or the prairies or oof, even the

24:13 desert or the prairies or oof, even the one in Florida that I was talking about

24:15 one in Florida that I was talking about

24:17 there. You can see a lot of stuff from

24:17 there. You can see a lot of stuff from any one place. Not here at the

24:19 any one place. Not here at the

24:20 prehistoric garden. You got to do a lot

24:20 prehistoric garden. You got to do a lot of walking around before you finally get

24:22 of walking around before you finally get

24:22 of walking around before you finally get a glimpse of your next dinosaur. And

24:24 a glimpse of your next dinosaur. And

24:24 a glimpse of your next dinosaur. And even then, you're probably only going to

24:25 even then, you're probably only going to

24:25 even then, you're probably only going to see a little part of them peeking out

24:27 see a little part of them peeking out

24:28 see a little part of them peeking out from the brush. I mean, Walt Disney

24:29 from the brush. I mean, Walt Disney

24:29 from the brush. I mean, Walt Disney Imagineering couldn't do a better job at

24:56 there. Stegosaurus. Dude, I know some kids who Stegosaurus was their favorite

24:58 kids who Stegosaurus was their favorite

24:58 kids who Stegosaurus was their favorite dinosaur. Actually, I very rarely asked

25:00 dinosaur. Actually, I very rarely asked

25:00 dinosaur. Actually, I very rarely asked for this, but do me a favor. Leave me a

25:02 for this, but do me a favor. Leave me a

25:02 for this, but do me a favor. Leave me a comment this time. Tell me what your

25:05 comment this time. Tell me what your

25:05 comment this time. Tell me what your favorite dinosaur was as a kid or if you

25:08 favorite dinosaur was as a kid or if you

25:08 favorite dinosaur was as a kid or if you even had a favorite dinosaur. I was just

25:10 even had a favorite dinosaur. I was just

25:10 even had a favorite dinosaur. I was just talking to author J. Steven York, uh,

25:13 talking to author J. Steven York, uh,

25:13 talking to author J. Steven York, uh, who I was at his house yesterday about

25:15 who I was at his house yesterday about

25:15 who I was at his house yesterday about how he, oh, he was obsessed with

25:16 how he, oh, he was obsessed with

25:16 how he, oh, he was obsessed with dinosaurs. He was go, "Oh, technically

25:18 dinosaurs. He was go, "Oh, technically

25:18 dinosaurs. He was go, "Oh, technically this and that is not a dinosaur. Is it

25:20 this and that is not a dinosaur. Is it

25:20 this and that is not a dinosaur. Is it this or that or the other?" And I was

25:21 this or that or the other?" And I was

25:21 this or that or the other?" And I was like, "Yeah, you know, I never really

25:23 like, "Yeah, you know, I never really

25:23 like, "Yeah, you know, I never really got into dinosaurs as a kid." Cuz most

25:25 got into dinosaurs as a kid." Cuz most

25:25 got into dinosaurs as a kid." Cuz most of the dinosaur kids I knew were kind of

25:27 of the dinosaur kids I knew were kind of

25:27 of the dinosaur kids I knew were kind of like that. By the way, Stegosaurus

25:29 like that. By the way, Stegosaurus

25:29 like that. By the way, Stegosaurus apparently means roofed lizard, which

25:31 apparently means roofed lizard, which

25:31 apparently means roofed lizard, which that I didn't know. Well, I must have

25:32 that I didn't know. Well, I must have

25:32 that I didn't know. Well, I must have known because I've been here before, but

25:34 known because I've been here before, but

25:34 known because I've been here before, but you know what I mean. That never stuck

25:35 you know what I mean. That never stuck

25:35 you know what I mean. That never stuck in my head. I love that it says he was

25:37 in my head. I love that it says he was

25:37 in my head. I love that it says he was an armored dinosaur. That's so true. I

25:40 an armored dinosaur. That's so true. I

25:40 an armored dinosaur. That's so true. I mean, what else could those plates be

25:41 mean, what else could those plates be

25:41 mean, what else could those plates be for right there? Look at Don't mess with

25:43 for right there? Look at Don't mess with

25:43 for right there? Look at Don't mess with that guy, dude. He's spiky. We were

25:45 that guy, dude. He's spiky. We were

25:45 that guy, dude. He's spiky. We were talking about how as a kid, I didn't

25:46 talking about how as a kid, I didn't

25:46 talking about how as a kid, I didn't really get into dinosaurs or trains. You

25:49 really get into dinosaurs or trains. You

25:49 really get into dinosaurs or trains. You know, my brother was super into trains,

25:50 know, my brother was super into trains,

25:50 know, my brother was super into trains, so maybe that's why like I was like, ah,

25:52 so maybe that's why like I was like, ah,

25:52 so maybe that's why like I was like, ah, a little less into it. You know how

25:54 a little less into it. You know how

25:54 a little less into it. You know how siblings sometimes like if one person

25:55 siblings sometimes like if one person

25:55 siblings sometimes like if one person likes one thing, it's like the other

25:57 likes one thing, it's like the other

25:57 likes one thing, it's like the other sibling will like something else. Over

25:58 sibling will like something else. Over

25:58 sibling will like something else. Over the years, I've grown to appreciate

25:59 the years, I've grown to appreciate

26:00 the years, I've grown to appreciate trains more and more and more. And let

26:01 trains more and more and more. And let

26:01 trains more and more and more. And let me tell you what, driving that one at

26:03 me tell you what, driving that one at

26:03 me tell you what, driving that one at Sperry Farm, that steam locomotive, that

26:05 Sperry Farm, that steam locomotive, that

26:05 Sperry Farm, that steam locomotive, that completely changed the way I look at

26:06 completely changed the way I look at

26:06 completely changed the way I look at trains forever and ever. I really like

26:08 trains forever and ever. I really like

26:08 trains forever and ever. I really like trains now. Dinosaurs have always been

26:10 trains now. Dinosaurs have always been

26:10 trains now. Dinosaurs have always been like more of a fun thing for me, more of

26:12 like more of a fun thing for me, more of

26:12 like more of a fun thing for me, more of like a fun movies and animation and stop

26:16 like a fun movies and animation and stop

26:16 like a fun movies and animation and stop motion and giant concrete roadside

26:19 motion and giant concrete roadside

26:19 motion and giant concrete roadside attractions. I think of Ray Harryhaus

26:21 attractions. I think of Ray Harryhaus

26:22 attractions. I think of Ray Harryhaus and I think of King Kong and I think of

26:24 and I think of King Kong and I think of

26:24 and I think of King Kong and I think of uh Peewee Herman and the giant cabone

26:27 uh Peewee Herman and the giant cabone

26:27 uh Peewee Herman and the giant cabone dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are more of a fun

26:29 dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are more of a fun

26:29 dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are more of a fun thing for me. I don't know why. I just

26:31 thing for me. I don't know why. I just

26:31 thing for me. I don't know why. I just maybe I can just never wrap my head

26:32 maybe I can just never wrap my head

26:32 maybe I can just never wrap my head around the fact that they were they were

26:35 around the fact that they were they were

26:35 around the fact that they were they were real. So anyway, I never went to like a

26:37 real. So anyway, I never went to like a

26:37 real. So anyway, I never went to like a museum that had dinosaur bones and

26:39 museum that had dinosaur bones and

26:39 museum that had dinosaur bones and fossils and T-Rex and all that stuff

26:41 fossils and T-Rex and all that stuff

26:41 fossils and T-Rex and all that stuff until I was out on Route 66. I went to

26:43 until I was out on Route 66. I went to

26:43 until I was out on Route 66. I went to that Mesa Lands Dinosaur Museum in Tukum

26:46 that Mesa Lands Dinosaur Museum in Tukum

26:46 that Mesa Lands Dinosaur Museum in Tukum Kerry, New Mexico. A much different

26:48 Kerry, New Mexico. A much different

26:48 Kerry, New Mexico. A much different environment than this. I'll tell you

26:49 environment than this. I'll tell you

26:49 environment than this. I'll tell you that much. And that was the first time.

26:51 that much. And that was the first time.

26:51 that much. And that was the first time. And ever since then, I have loved to see

26:56 And ever since then, I have loved to see

26:56 And ever since then, I have loved to see anything to do with dinosaurs. And look

26:59 anything to do with dinosaurs. And look

26:59 anything to do with dinosaurs. And look at this in Tukum Kerry, New Mexico,

27:01 at this in Tukum Kerry, New Mexico,

27:01 at this in Tukum Kerry, New Mexico, which is definitely a far different

27:03 which is definitely a far different

27:03 which is definitely a far different environment than this one to say the

27:06 environment than this one to say the

27:06 environment than this one to say the least. And ever since then, I've loved

27:07 least. And ever since then, I've loved

27:07 least. And ever since then, I've loved being in natural history museums and

27:09 being in natural history museums and

27:09 being in natural history museums and looking at the reconstructions of

27:11 looking at the reconstructions of

27:11 looking at the reconstructions of skeletons and all that stuff. I've

27:13 skeletons and all that stuff. I've

27:13 skeletons and all that stuff. I've stopped on the path here because I just

27:14 stopped on the path here because I just

27:14 stopped on the path here because I just realized my other favorite dinosaur is

27:17 realized my other favorite dinosaur is

27:17 realized my other favorite dinosaur is just around the bend, just around this

27:19 just around the bend, just around this

27:19 just around the bend, just around this gigantic tree, which is close enough to

27:21 gigantic tree, which is close enough to

27:21 gigantic tree, which is close enough to show you a little bit of scale. This

27:22 show you a little bit of scale. This

27:22 show you a little bit of scale. This one's not as big as some of the ones out

27:23 one's not as big as some of the ones out

27:23 one's not as big as some of the ones out here, but look at the size of this

27:25 here, but look at the size of this

27:25 here, but look at the size of this beast, dude. Look at the size of it.

27:27 beast, dude. Look at the size of it.

27:27 beast, dude. Look at the size of it. Hey, get off my tree, tree hugger. Oh,

27:30 Hey, get off my tree, tree hugger. Oh,

27:30 Hey, get off my tree, tree hugger. Oh, sorry about that. Sorry. Anyway, I don't

27:32 sorry about that. Sorry. Anyway, I don't

27:32 sorry about that. Sorry. Anyway, I don't know why I was sharing personal dinosaur

27:34 know why I was sharing personal dinosaur

27:34 know why I was sharing personal dinosaur anecdotes. Here we are in the

27:36 anecdotes. Here we are in the

27:36 anecdotes. Here we are in the prehistoric forest, and we should be

27:38 prehistoric forest, and we should be

27:38 prehistoric forest, and we should be appreciating

27:40 appreciating

27:40 appreciating this. Do you see that right there? You

27:42 this. Do you see that right there? You

27:42 this. Do you see that right there? You know who it is? It's Pterodactyl. And

27:46 know who it is? It's Pterodactyl. And

27:46 know who it is? It's Pterodactyl. And look at the expression on his face. Hey,

27:50 look at the expression on his face. Hey,

27:50 look at the expression on his face. Hey, it's me, Pterodactyl. How are you? I

27:55 it's me, Pterodactyl. How are you? I

27:55 it's me, Pterodactyl. How are you? I love the freaking pterodactyl. Or

27:57 love the freaking pterodactyl. Or

27:57 love the freaking pterodactyl. Or actually, I think it's actually a

27:58 actually, I think it's actually a

27:58 actually, I think it's actually a pterodon. Guess we should probably check

28:00 pterodon. Guess we should probably check

28:00 pterodon. Guess we should probably check the sign. Yes, it is a pterodon.

28:02 the sign. Yes, it is a pterodon.

28:02 the sign. Yes, it is a pterodon. Literally winged and toothless. I always

28:05 Literally winged and toothless. I always

28:05 Literally winged and toothless. I always thought it had something to do with

28:06 thought it had something to do with

28:06 thought it had something to do with like, oo, it's terrible, right? A

28:07 like, oo, it's terrible, right? A

28:07 like, oo, it's terrible, right? A pterodon. A pterodactyl. No, no, no.

28:11 pterodon. A pterodactyl. No, no, no.

28:11 pterodon. A pterodactyl. No, no, no. He's winged and toothless. That makes it

28:12 He's winged and toothless. That makes it

28:12 He's winged and toothless. That makes it even funnier. The look on his face

28:14 even funnier. The look on his face

28:14 even funnier. The look on his face matches better. Hey, hello. I don't have

28:17 matches better. Hey, hello. I don't have

28:17 matches better. Hey, hello. I don't have any teeth. I think that voice in my head

28:20 any teeth. I think that voice in my head

28:20 any teeth. I think that voice in my head partially comes from Peewee Herman,

28:21 partially comes from Peewee Herman,

28:21 partially comes from Peewee Herman, right, Terry the pterodactyl. Oh, that

28:23 right, Terry the pterodactyl. Oh, that

28:23 right, Terry the pterodactyl. Oh, that is so cool right there. So cool. I think

28:26 is so cool right there. So cool. I think

28:26 is so cool right there. So cool. I think it's like a bronosaurus and

28:27 it's like a bronosaurus and

28:28 it's like a bronosaurus and brachiosaurus. Is it one of those where

28:31 brachiosaurus. Is it one of those where

28:31 brachiosaurus. Is it one of those where uh they thought they had two different

28:32 uh they thought they had two different

28:32 uh they thought they had two different species of dinosaur and they found out

28:34 species of dinosaur and they found out

28:34 species of dinosaur and they found out they're actually the same and so they

28:36 they're actually the same and so they

28:36 they're actually the same and so they merged the names? Or is a pterodon and a

28:38 merged the names? Or is a pterodon and a

28:38 merged the names? Or is a pterodon and a pterodactyl? Are they two different

28:39 pterodactyl? Are they two different

28:39 pterodactyl? Are they two different things? Maybe I should have read the

28:41 things? Maybe I should have read the

28:41 things? Maybe I should have read the whole sign. Let me let me let me get

28:42 whole sign. Let me let me let me get

28:42 whole sign. Let me let me let me get back to the sign. No, nothing about

28:43 back to the sign. No, nothing about

28:43 back to the sign. No, nothing about that. It says it lived during the

28:44 that. It says it lived during the

28:44 that. It says it lived during the Cretaceous period 70 million years ago,

28:47 Cretaceous period 70 million years ago,

28:47 Cretaceous period 70 million years ago, but the sign might be 50 years old. So

28:49 but the sign might be 50 years old. So

28:49 but the sign might be 50 years old. So maybe it's 70 million and 70 years ago.

28:51 maybe it's 70 million and 70 years ago.

28:52 maybe it's 70 million and 70 years ago. Maybe pterodactyls were smaller or

28:53 Maybe pterodactyls were smaller or

28:53 Maybe pterodactyls were smaller or something cuz this says that Pterodon

28:55 something cuz this says that Pterodon

28:55 something cuz this says that Pterodon was one of the largest flying animals of

28:57 was one of the largest flying animals of

28:57 was one of the largest flying animals of all time with a wingspan of 27

29:02 all time with a wingspan of 27

29:02 all time with a wingspan of 27 ft. Which is why this is absolutely

29:04 ft. Which is why this is absolutely

29:04 ft. Which is why this is absolutely massive and enormous. I mean, I know you

29:06 massive and enormous. I mean, I know you

29:06 massive and enormous. I mean, I know you can't see scale cuz all the dinosaurs

29:08 can't see scale cuz all the dinosaurs

29:08 can't see scale cuz all the dinosaurs are back in the bushes away from where

29:11 are back in the bushes away from where

29:11 are back in the bushes away from where we can get super super close to them,

29:13 we can get super super close to them,

29:13 we can get super super close to them, but they are all enormous. I mean,

29:16 but they are all enormous. I mean,

29:16 but they are all enormous. I mean, they're huge. And like I said, Mr.

29:18 they're huge. And like I said, Mr.

29:18 they're huge. And like I said, Mr. Nelson went out of his way to try to

29:20 Nelson went out of his way to try to

29:20 Nelson went out of his way to try to make them lifesize. He was working from

29:23 make them lifesize. He was working from

29:23 make them lifesize. He was working from the fossils and the reconstructions at

29:25 the fossils and the reconstructions at

29:25 the fossils and the reconstructions at the time. That is one big flying lizard

29:28 the time. That is one big flying lizard

29:28 the time. That is one big flying lizard right there. Yeah, this is way more of a

29:30 right there. Yeah, this is way more of a

29:30 right there. Yeah, this is way more of a challenge than I thought it would be to

29:31 challenge than I thought it would be to

29:31 challenge than I thought it would be to kind of show you a sense of scale. But

29:33 kind of show you a sense of scale. But

29:33 kind of show you a sense of scale. But maybe if I get all the way down even

29:36 maybe if I get all the way down even

29:36 maybe if I get all the way down even with him, you can kind of see how small

29:39 with him, you can kind of see how small

29:39 with him, you can kind of see how small I look on how huge that thing. 27 foot

29:43 I look on how huge that thing. 27 foot

29:43 I look on how huge that thing. 27 foot wide. That's 5 and 12 alleys, dude.

29:46 wide. That's 5 and 12 alleys, dude.

29:46 wide. That's 5 and 12 alleys, dude. Almost 10 yards wide. That is a big old

29:50 Almost 10 yards wide. That is a big old

29:50 Almost 10 yards wide. That is a big old beast. Okay, so earlier today uh when I

29:52 beast. Okay, so earlier today uh when I

29:52 beast. Okay, so earlier today uh when I was coming here and I was leaving that

29:53 was coming here and I was leaving that

29:54 was coming here and I was leaving that little town of Charleston instead of

29:55 little town of Charleston instead of

29:55 little town of Charleston instead of going back through Kuz Bay, I went down

29:57 going back through Kuz Bay, I went down

29:57 going back through Kuz Bay, I went down all these back roads like logging roads.

29:59 all these back roads like logging roads.

29:59 all these back roads like logging roads. Very mysterious and kind of spooky and

30:01 Very mysterious and kind of spooky and

30:01 Very mysterious and kind of spooky and foggy today. Anyway, a massive eagle

30:04 foggy today. Anyway, a massive eagle
