12:44 in those five to ten minutes and again this is more about the treasure hunt for

12:45 this is more about the treasure hunt for

12:45 this is more about the treasure hunt for me than anything i watched that movie

12:47 me than anything i watched that movie

12:47 me than anything i watched that movie years and years ago and i always

12:48 years and years ago and i always

12:48 years and years ago and i always where was that film like i do with every

12:50 where was that film like i do with every

12:50 where was that film like i do with every other movie and this one

12:51 other movie and this one

12:51 other movie and this one no one had an answer for that is until

12:55 no one had an answer for that is until

12:55 no one had an answer for that is until now look at this

12:58 now look at this

12:58 now look at this this is the very slab

13:01 this is the very slab

13:01 this is the very slab of the little filling station the little

13:03 of the little filling station the little

13:03 of the little filling station the little gas station

13:04 gas station

13:04 gas station in the hills have eyes

13:07 in the hills have eyes

13:07 in the hills have eyes there's a lot of new home development

13:09 there's a lot of new home development

13:09 there's a lot of new home development out here this is a very busy highway

13:10 out here this is a very busy highway

13:10 out here this is a very busy highway very close to adelanto california where

13:13 very close to adelanto california where

13:13 very close to adelanto california where i could see new housing developments

13:15 i could see new housing developments

13:15 i could see new housing developments going up new solar farms and i had a

13:16 going up new solar farms and i had a

13:16 going up new solar farms and i had a hunch the gas station was close to an

13:18 hunch the gas station was close to an

13:18 hunch the gas station was close to an actual highway otherwise why would there

13:20 actual highway otherwise why would there

13:20 actual highway otherwise why would there have ever been a gas station

13:21 have ever been a gas station

13:21 have ever been a gas station at all so i was worried that highway

13:25 at all so i was worried that highway

13:25 at all so i was worried that highway expansion

13:26 expansion

13:26 expansion or development would mean that the whole

13:28 or development would mean that the whole

13:28 or development would mean that the whole slab of the gas station would be

13:30 slab of the gas station would be

13:30 slab of the gas station would be completely bulldozed i was right that

13:32 completely bulldozed i was right that

13:32 completely bulldozed i was right that the building must certainly be gone by

13:33 the building must certainly be gone by

13:33 the building must certainly be gone by now but not only is the slab here

13:36 now but not only is the slab here

13:36 now but not only is the slab here including these two concrete pillars

13:38 including these two concrete pillars

13:38 including these two concrete pillars which will become important in a little

13:39 which will become important in a little

13:39 which will become important in a little bit but even though

13:40 bit but even though

13:40 bit but even though all of the other buildings and there

13:42 all of the other buildings and there

13:42 all of the other buildings and there were many on this property when they

13:55 and what i was hoping was still here and

13:56 and what i was hoping was still here and dude i almost

13:56 dude i almost

13:56 dude i almost jumped for joy when i just saw that okay

13:59 jumped for joy when i just saw that okay

13:59 jumped for joy when i just saw that okay the movie itself opens up right here

14:01 the movie itself opens up right here

14:42 change here

14:42 change here today from the movie other than the

14:43 today from the movie other than the

14:43 today from the movie other than the buildings being gone is a

14:45 buildings being gone is a

14:45 buildings being gone is a new line of telephone poles much closer

14:48 new line of telephone poles much closer

14:48 new line of telephone poles much closer together and there's now this giant one

14:50 together and there's now this giant one

14:50 together and there's now this giant one basically put into the ground right

14:52 basically put into the ground right

14:52 basically put into the ground right where the back of the gas station would

14:54 where the back of the gas station would

14:54 where the back of the gas station would be

14:54 be that further pole there is roughly in

14:57 that further pole there is roughly in

14:57 that further pole there is roughly in the same place as the one that was there

14:59 the same place as the one that was there

14:59 the same place as the one that was there during the movie so again across the

15:00 during the movie so again across the

15:00 during the movie so again across the highway using that far telephone pole as

15:02 highway using that far telephone pole as

15:02 highway using that far telephone pole as a guide you can see that there are

15:04 a guide you can see that there are

15:04 a guide you can see that there are still a number of bushes growing in the

15:06 still a number of bushes growing in the

15:06 still a number of bushes growing in the same area little shrubby trees

15:08 same area little shrubby trees
