This Utah Town Feels Like a Time Machine – St. George Adventure!
Join me on a Randomland adventure through the charming historic downtown of St. George, Utah! We’ll walk the beautiful streets, check out Green Gate Village, visit the iconic Judd’s General Store, and explore antique shops, upcycle stores, and a fantastic little record shop. After soaking up the vibes of this classic Utah town, we hit the road to Las Vegas and make a quick stop in Boulder City to prep for the Randomland meetup at Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum! We end the trip with a look at a hotel I absolutely loved—no sponsorship, just a cool place I had to share. Let’s hit the road!

believe we were all kind of one species. even so much harsh judgment and division
15:07
even so much harsh judgment and division
15:07
even so much harsh judgment and division in the human species where to me I can
15:10
in the human species where to me I can
15:10
in the human species where to me I can look at that and say, "Oh my gosh, those
15:12
look at that and say, "Oh my gosh, those

ancient Native Americans, they were
15:14
ancient Native Americans, they were people just like us. They drew a little
15:16
people just like us. They drew a little
15:16
people just like us. They drew a little stickman just the way I would tap a

stickman just the way I would tap a
15:18
stickman just the way I would tap a little stick man into the rock." And
15:19
little stick man into the rock." And
15:20
little stick man into the rock." And they are tapped. You can see right here
15:21
they are tapped. You can see right here
15:21
they are tapped. You can see right here a little spiral on this rock. Can you
15:23
a little spiral on this rock. Can you
15:23
a little spiral on this rock. Can you see that? And some other things that are
15:24
see that? And some other things that are

see that? And some other things that are kind of faded away. And you can see all
15:25
kind of faded away. And you can see all
15:26
kind of faded away. And you can see all these little pock marks. This camera's
15:27
these little pock marks. This camera's
15:27
these little pock marks. This camera's not so great at close-ups, but right
15:29
not so great at close-ups, but right
15:29
not so great at close-ups, but right here, see tap tap tap tap. That's how
15:30
here, see tap tap tap tap. That's how
15:30
here, see tap tap tap tap. That's how all those were created. You just pick up
15:32
all those were created. You just pick up
15:32
all those were created. You just pick up a little rock off the ground here. a
15:34
a little rock off the ground here. a
15:34
a little rock off the ground here. a little piece of stone and just tap away
15:36
little piece of stone and just tap away
15:36
little piece of stone and just tap away at sort of the oxidized surface right
15:38
at sort of the oxidized surface right
15:38
at sort of the oxidized surface right here and then get to the sort of pure
15:40
here and then get to the sort of pure
15:40
here and then get to the sort of pure stone underneath. And those designs can
15:42
stone underneath. And those designs can
15:42
stone underneath. And those designs can stay in these rocks for literally
15:45
stay in these rocks for literally
15:45
stay in these rocks for literally thousands of years. It's amazing cuz you
15:47
thousands of years. It's amazing cuz you
15:47
thousands of years. It's amazing cuz you can see how some of it has chipped away.
15:49
can see how some of it has chipped away.
15:49
can see how some of it has chipped away. Like some of it has just kind of flaked
15:51
Like some of it has just kind of flaked
15:51
Like some of it has just kind of flaked off over time, probably just perfectly
15:53
off over time, probably just perfectly
15:53
off over time, probably just perfectly naturally. And what I notic is is that
15:55
naturally. And what I notic is is that
15:55
naturally. And what I notic is is that the sun, especially the afternoon sun,
15:57
the sun, especially the afternoon sun,
15:57
the sun, especially the afternoon sun, would be right over your back and the
15:58
would be right over your back and the
15:58
would be right over your back and the sun's kind of hot on my back here. And I
15:59
sun's kind of hot on my back here. And I
15:59
sun's kind of hot on my back here. And I kind of want to just get in front of
16:00
kind of want to just get in front of
16:00
kind of want to just get in front of this rock to be in the shade. I've
16:02
this rock to be in the shade. I've
16:02
this rock to be in the shade. I've noticed that with a lot of petetroglyph
16:04
noticed that with a lot of petetroglyph
16:04
noticed that with a lot of petetroglyph sites, like somebody sat there and had
16:05
sites, like somebody sat there and had
16:05
sites, like somebody sat there and had to tap tap tap tap tap away at the rock
16:07
to tap tap tap tap tap away at the rock
16:07
to tap tap tap tap tap away at the rock and on the sunny side or the side that
16:10
and on the sunny side or the side that
16:10
and on the sunny side or the side that is in the sun most of the day. You'll
16:12
is in the sun most of the day. You'll
16:12
is in the sun most of the day. You'll often see a lot less a lot fewer
16:13
often see a lot less a lot fewer
16:13
often see a lot less a lot fewer designs. That's the case over here. I
16:15
designs. That's the case over here. I
16:15
designs. That's the case over here. I mean, at the moment it's shady. It's
16:16
mean, at the moment it's shady. It's
16:16
mean, at the moment it's shady. It's always the spots with the overhangs, the
16:18
always the spots with the overhangs, the
16:18
always the spots with the overhangs, the spots where somebody could have sat for
16:19
spots where somebody could have sat for
16:20
spots where somebody could have sat for a long time. And you just start thinking
16:21
a long time. And you just start thinking
16:21
a long time. And you just start thinking about that. What if I was down here 300
16:23
about that. What if I was down here 300
16:23
about that. What if I was down here 300 years ago? And you have to wonder like
16:24
years ago? And you have to wonder like
16:24
years ago? And you have to wonder like were they messages that people
16:26
were they messages that people
16:26
were they messages that people understood? Because there's a lot of
16:27
understood? Because there's a lot of
16:27
understood? Because there's a lot of modern Native Americans who say that
16:29
modern Native Americans who say that
16:29
modern Native Americans who say that they understand or they have traditions
16:31
they understand or they have traditions
16:31
they understand or they have traditions passed down about what certain symbols
16:33
passed down about what certain symbols
16:33
passed down about what certain symbols will mean. And I often wonder if it was
16:35
will mean. And I often wonder if it was
16:35
will mean. And I often wonder if it was a sort of form of writing and
16:37
a sort of form of writing and
16:37
a sort of form of writing and communication. Sometimes it really looks
16:39
communication. Sometimes it really looks
16:39
communication. Sometimes it really looks like it's commemoration, right? You can
16:40
like it's commemoration, right? You can
16:40
like it's commemoration, right? You can see like hunting scenes and stuff like
16:42
see like hunting scenes and stuff like
16:42
see like hunting scenes and stuff like that. You'll see certain animals. You'll
16:45
that. You'll see certain animals. You'll
16:45
that. You'll see certain animals. You'll see certain like winding symbols that
16:47
see certain like winding symbols that
16:47
see certain like winding symbols that definitely seem to represent rivers and
16:49
definitely seem to represent rivers and
16:50
definitely seem to represent rivers and stuff like that. I see a few things on
16:51
stuff like that. I see a few things on
16:51
stuff like that. I see a few things on here that kind of look like lizards and
16:55
here that kind of look like lizards and
16:55
here that kind of look like lizards and I don't know. It's very hard to tell
16:56
I don't know. It's very hard to tell
16:56
I don't know. It's very hard to tell with this one just the way the light is
16:57
with this one just the way the light is
16:57
with this one just the way the light is on it today. There are actually hundreds
16:59
on it today. There are actually hundreds
16:59
on it today. There are actually hundreds and thousands of petetroglyphs and
17:02
and thousands of petetroglyphs and
17:02
and thousands of petetroglyphs and petetroglyph sites all around this
17:04
petetroglyph sites all around this
17:04
petetroglyph sites all around this region. Actually, there's a pretty
17:05
region. Actually, there's a pretty
17:05
region. Actually, there's a pretty famous one about you got to go four or
17:08
famous one about you got to go four or
17:08
famous one about you got to go four or five miles down a dirt road outside of
17:09
five miles down a dirt road outside of

five miles down a dirt road outside of town. So, I'm not going to go today. But
17:11
town. So, I'm not going to go today. But
17:11
town. So, I'm not going to go today. But the amazing thing about this one is just
17:13
the amazing thing about this one is just
17:13
the amazing thing about this one is just the juxaposition. This giant boulder
17:15
the juxaposition. This giant boulder
17:15
the juxaposition. This giant boulder right here which is like five or six
17:16
right here which is like five or six

right here which is like five or six alleys tall and you turn your head and
17:18
alleys tall and you turn your head and
17:18
