Ghost Town at Knott's Berry Farm ( Randomland )
Join Justin and super top secret special guest (Ok, it's Byron Sinn!) at Knott's Berry Farm! If you missed the history lesson on Knott's, go here: http://youtu.be/EPxe804B76Q
However unlike that video, this is pure wandertainment. Random wanderings and explorations of Knott's Berry Farm's classic Ghost Town. Wow! Wandertainment. We may have coined a new phrase here.
Anyhow, built up beginning in the 1940s, Knott's Ghost Town has always been what sets Knott's Berry Farm apart from the Six Flags of the world. Charming, Psuedo-historical, and fun for all ages, Ghost Town is surprisingly still more or less intact. Often overlooked by the thrill seekers, there are all kinds of details and surprises to explore. So let's check it out!
Among the other highlights are Sad Eyed Joe, The Boot Hill Graveyard, Byron's face, the Gold Trails Hotel, The Undertakers, The Rainmaker's cart, Claude Bell's Sculptures, The Calico Saloon, and much much more!
Byron Sinn's video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D7ZvfC7YTA
And PART 2 of this video is coming in a few days!
