[0:02]
I hereby call this meeting to
[0:04]
order I've been wanting to do that since
[0:06]
I got here on Wednesday I don't know I
[0:08]
just had the thought cuz we've been here
[0:11]
before and we talked about that like way
[0:14]
back in April I think so I think what
[0:17]
we'll do is we're going to go towards
[0:19]
Mammoth Caves I want to try to hike a
[0:20]
trail there we'll visit the visitor
[0:23]
center again cuz I want to get another
[0:25]
map put this one up on my
[0:27]
fridge so I can look at it it's this is
[0:30]
where I just I I love things like that I
[0:33]
love Maps so um you know I got the Lake
[0:35]
Cumberland went over there and that
[0:38]
one's got a little different
[0:40]
significance to me but this one while
[0:41]
we're here you know I want to explore as
[0:43]
much of that as I can so we're going to
[0:45]
hike a trail there today and on the way
[0:48]
is the RV repair well both of the RV
[0:50]
repair shop so I'll stop at those and
[0:53]
get an assessment from them and then
[0:56]
we'll just go hiking we're going to take
[0:57]
the big battery with us I love this
[1:01]
thing to use that to power my GoPro when
[1:04]
it's in my
[1:06]
Jeep back here all by ourselves so
[1:11]
wonderful oh I love this thing this
[1:13]
thing is
[1:15]
amazing so my GoPro which I'm using
[1:18]
right now um it won't stay up anymore
[1:21]
because the adhesive is wearing off
[1:23]
which I knew that happened we're just
[1:24]
going to tape it up because I don't know
[1:26]
where I'm positioning it permanently
[1:28]
that yet so we're just going to going to
[1:30]
try taping it up and see how this looks
[1:32]
I'm using reflectiv because I love this
[1:34]
stuff it is remarkably hot outside it's
[1:37]
going to be 95 today so that's hot but
[1:42]
we're going to make the best of it I
[1:43]
don't want to be stuck in doors my GoPro
[1:46]
shut off before I could actually take a
[1:48]
look at it and see what this angle
[1:50]
looked like I think that's probably
[1:51]
better it was showing too much of the
[1:53]
roof now it's showing join me hello it's
[1:56]
not actually
[1:58]
recording hello
[2:00]
humans so we got a view basically at the
[2:03]
front and the side you just me over here
[2:05]
you can watch me shifting gears I love
[2:07]
manual
[2:08]
transmission so I just absolutely love
[2:10]
it every Jeep I've had has been like
[2:11]
this I I I taught myself so very proud
[2:14]
of
[2:15]
that so we're off hello humans so we got
[2:20]
a view basically at the front and the
[2:22]
side and just me over here you can watch
[2:24]
me shifting gears I love manual
[2:27]
transmission so I just absolutely love
[2:29]
it every Jeep I've had has been like
[2:30]
this I I I taught myself so very proud
[2:33]
of
[2:34]
that so we're off we're going to dump um
[2:37]
I got some trash to put in the dumpster
[2:38]
and then we're going to go
[3:01]
[Music]
[3:17]
spe
[3:32]
all right is this on yep okay so um I
[3:36]
noticed from my video yesterday that I
[3:38]
think that that one part that was just
[3:40]
had this weird screeching going on I'm
[3:42]
wondering if it was my air conditioner
[3:44]
or the wind and I also noticed a lot of
[3:46]
noise from my tires because they're
[3:48]
special kind of tires um I think we can
[3:50]
solve that I have a DJI mic system it's
[3:54]
got a receiver and then it's got two
[3:57]
mics I'm wondering if I can hook one of
[3:59]
the mics up to the GoPro and maybe one
[4:01]
of them up to my phone or something that
[4:03]
I might just put up on my Dash over here
[4:06]
um I'm not sure what you do with the
[4:08]
receiver though two different things I
[4:10]
don't know you know I need to experiment
[4:12]
with all that we won't do that today
[4:14]
it's too much I'm not you know trying to
[4:16]
overwhelm myself it's an iterative
[4:18]
process but I do think over time we're
[4:21]
going to come up with the system that
[4:22]
works and we haven't talked about it but
[4:24]
this is called extended cognition and
[4:27]
I'll explain that concept later but not
[4:29]
today um I'm trying to create a system
[4:32]
that extends my cognition for multiple
[4:36]
reasons and it has to be efficient it
[4:39]
has to work for me and that's a process
[4:41]
and it's a process we'll be working on
[4:42]
for a while this is going to be so hot
[4:45]
as long as we're in a tree canopy while
[4:47]
we're hiking shouldn't be too
[4:51]
bad got to deal with that in a minute
[5:01]
no Tyler today I don't know why I like
[5:03]
him so much he's just an interesting guy
[5:05]
like I get a vibe from him I just think
[5:07]
he's cool and he has a Jeep and you know
[5:09]
that's always part of it it's just a
[5:11]
Jeep
[5:12]
thing so I'll be right
[5:19]
back all right so it's booked up and
[5:22]
there's going to be visitors coming
[5:23]
Thurs today I'm going to have more
[5:24]
neighbors again unfortunately and
[5:27]
they're going to be here for over a week
[5:28]
the whole time that time
[5:30]
here um yeah it is what it is you know
[5:35]
I'll take advantage of the time I have
[5:36]
until
[5:38]
then
[5:40]
um so yeah we're stuck where we're at
[5:44]
it's fine though also she told me there
[5:46]
is laundry there still it's just that
[5:48]
the locks are broken and um I don't know
[5:53]
I guess there's laundry there I could
[5:54]
have saved some money at least I know so
[5:57]
that I can do laundry on goinging while
[6:00]
I'm
[6:01]
here going to stop and get something to
[6:04]
drink I didn't have anything
[6:06]
cold and then we're going to head to
[6:09]
Mammoth Caves or we're going to head to
[6:11]
the RV places they're along the way to
[6:13]
Mammoth Caves
[6:15]
so um I got a whole plan
[6:20]
here adaptive thinking
[6:38]
I didn't mean to stop you sorry get out
[6:41]
of the
[6:46]
way okay there was this semi behind me
[6:50]
and I I didn't cut him off but he was
[6:52]
closer than I
[6:54]
realized all right so I am going to get
[6:56]
something to drink
[7:02]
I was going to get some orange juice but
[7:04]
they didn't have any that sucks I need
[7:07]
coffee not fully awake yet let's get
[7:10]
this plugged
[7:11]
up get our day
[7:14]
going we'll stop at I think it's called
[7:17]
Blue
[7:20]
compass and the other one I'm not sure
[7:23]
but it's on the way we'll pass it I
[7:25]
don't know if anyone is there or not but
[7:27]
we I know there was a phone number on
[7:29]
the side fine we're going to Blue
[7:32]
Compass
[7:37]
RV even my phone is hot and it's not
[7:40]
even doing
[7:42]
anything this one I
[7:46]
think
[7:52]
okay
[7:57]
okayo it is hot
[7:59]
it is Fox
[8:03]
wow I think it's the um it's not just
[8:07]
hot it's the humidity too I got in
[8:10]
trouble for that song I love that song
[8:14]
it's a new one I just learned about
[8:16]
we're going we're going the wrong way
[8:20]
there oh how we doing we're good on gas
[8:22]
we're good to go I think I go right yes
[8:26]
cuz we're going to Scottville I went
[8:27]
there last night to get something to eat
[8:30]
cuz I was starving and I didn't think
[8:32]
about food soon enough so I went pretty
[8:34]
late at night this one though I hadn't
[8:36]
been driving at night in a long time
[8:39]
enjoyed
[8:41]
that I am loving my lifesty truly L
[8:48]
needs so we got 17 miles to go
[9:00]
I learned why they call them River Lakes
[9:02]
by the way i' had been wondering about
[9:04]
that this is Baron River Lake it's
[9:07]
because it is a river but then when they
[9:10]
Dam it up like at a CO a Coe makes a dam
[9:13]
you know they turn it into a Leake so
[9:15]
it's a river
[9:17]
lake I once did this on a highway when I
[9:19]
was really young and I ended up in the
[9:22]
um in the ditch or whatever it's called
[9:25]
and that was a bad experience it was a
[9:27]
friend's vehicle I really messed it up
[9:30]
police came out I was so embarrassing
[9:33]
yeah I don't know what I was
[9:36]
thinking I was so young I must have been
[9:38]
like 19 at the
[9:42]
time so I'm a little cautious with those
[9:48]
things
[9:51]
always use your experiences to inform
[9:53]
your future
[9:58]
ones Pro propane tanks filled oh my God
[10:00]
we found a place to fill my propane
[10:04]
yes
[10:06]
finally I know I can do it
[10:09]
here
[10:11]
yes 6 months no
[10:15]
propane all right so I'm going to go in
[10:17]
here and talk to these guys what I was
[10:20]
trying to say is you know I'm not real
[10:22]
experienced at this part so it makes me
[10:23]
a little uncomfortable but we'll deal
[10:24]
with it you know I got to deal with it
[10:26]
so um then this is how you get better at
[10:28]
it so so we're fine I'm going to shut
[10:32]
this down so it don't
[10:35]
overheat all right I'm done that was a
[10:37]
very long cat I like these guys um so
[10:40]
I'm going to bring it in Tuesday morning
[10:43]
just after the holiday they're going to
[10:44]
need it for maybe 2
[10:46]
days long list of things to do it's
[10:49]
going to cost me a couple
[10:51]
thousand um but
[10:53]
it's that's including like um they're
[10:56]
going to put in a new power Inlet
[10:58]
because of the arcing they're going to
[11:00]
put in a new
[11:03]
um um surge protector that's integrated
[11:07]
into the system and they're going to fix
[11:10]
all the things I talked about so very
[11:13]
very excited they told me I a good they
[11:15]
gave me a pretty good idea of what's
[11:17]
going on with my slide and it makes a
[11:19]
lot of sense um maybe we'll talk about
[11:21]
that later because it's kind of a
[11:23]
complicated situation but it shouldn't
[11:24]
be a huge problem to fix so I'm very
[11:28]
happy to hear that
[11:31]
we're going to head out to Mammoth Caves
[11:33]
now to The Visitor Center so that I can
[11:35]
get a new map and we're going to go try
[11:37]
to find this trail that I saw
[11:42]
yesterday so we're just going to go have
[11:44]
some
[11:48]
fun wow we're an hour away 45 minutes
[11:55]
away wow that guy is Towing this giant
[11:59]
Giant RV with
[12:02]

[12:08]
those
[12:11]
wow that thing's beautiful holy crap
[12:14]

[12:16]
beautiful part of me wishes I had a
[12:18]
different RV but I'm not going to stress
[12:20]
about that oh they're even going to
[12:23]
mount my solar equipment for me I'm so
[12:26]
happy man am I happy
[12:30]
we're finally dealing with the
[12:33]
problems can you see it it's a little
[12:35]
loader machine let me just come this way
[12:37]
so you can see I can't I don't want to
[12:40]
bother what is that the pallet things
[12:44]
they look pallets he's Towing an RV with
[12:47]
it how the it's a big RV by the way
[12:51]

[12:51]

[12:55]

[13:04]

[13:06]
guyss so which way are we going hey why
[13:09]

[13:12]
working okay yeah
[13:21]
turn
[13:23]
Okay so freaking hot oh my God we're
[13:26]
going to die
[13:27]
today going to be it's so hot out
[13:32]
there so we got a long drive ahead of us
[13:35]
I'm just going to shut this down for now
[13:36]
so I can listen to
[13:38]
music um I don't want to get myself in
[13:40]
trouble with
[13:42]
YouTube
[13:44]
but it's a process we're going to keep
[13:46]
working on
[13:49]
it Hello friends that's probably a weird
[13:53]
angle looks like it's
[13:56]
not not centered
[13:59]
so we're at Mammoth Cave Visitor Center
[14:02]
we're just going to pick up a map cuz I
[14:04]
put the other one on my wall in my
[14:07]
fridge oh I was curious how busy they've
[14:09]
been given it's a
[14:11]
Monday just as busy as
[14:14]
yesterday fascinating I like it
[14:17]
here we are going to explore the hell
[14:21]
out of this place not all of it today of
[14:23]
course but I'm thinking maybe I actually
[14:26]
want to spend more time here like I I
[14:29]
want to see this place in the Autumn I
[14:30]
want to see the Natural Bridge in the
[14:32]
Autumn before I leave Kentucky so maybe
[14:35]
we will hop around between the two
[14:36]
campgrounds I
[14:37]
found maybe for like an extra month or
[14:40]
something I don't know um I need to
[14:44]
think through the the timeline there on
[14:46]
when autumn will get here but I really
[14:49]
do want to explore this
[14:51]
place so we're going to do that I
[14:56]
think what's this guy doing
[15:00]
is he struggling or
[15:03]
what we're just going to go
[15:07]
over there I
[15:12]
think they're not as busy um cuz
[15:16]
basically every spot was taken before
[15:20]
so um it's not that
[15:25]
bad he was parking
[15:29]
wondering what I was doing I
[15:32]
guess yeah they're not near they're not
[15:34]
as busy but they're they're busy there's
[15:36]
lots of cars
[15:40]
here all over Pennsylvania Rhode
[15:43]
Island do we have over
[15:48]
here um I don't know what that one is
[15:52]
can't
[15:53]
tell
[15:56]
Maryland just all over I see New Jersey
[15:58]
played over there I know what that one
[15:59]
looks
[16:01]
like some of them just look foreign to
[16:03]
me but I don't think that can be right
[16:05]
like they just must be like I don't know
[16:07]
I'm thinking they're probably the
[16:08]
northeastern states or something they
[16:11]
just have a vibe to
[16:12]
them so I'm going to go get a map and I
[16:16]
will be
[16:17]
back guys I finally got a ducky I
[16:20]
finally got one I met you this person
[16:23]
left it let's give them a ducking
[16:30]
I don't know when this stopped I'm going
[16:31]
to give him this one I think it's just
[16:33]
cute it's like a chicken just just came
[16:36]
out of a t they got all these really
[16:38]
cool things on there Jeep I don't have
[16:41]
those they got all those Ducks there
[16:43]
they've got two little American ones
[16:45]
interesting so they put it on my
[16:48]
door that obviously makes a lot of
[16:52]
sense let's do
[16:55]
that oh I put it in my pocket I was like
[16:57]
where's my ducking
[16:59]
now I don't know where
[17:01]
my keys
[17:07]
are
[17:12]
good I finally got my second duck I'm so
[17:16]
happy I was about to start cheating I
[17:18]
was going to put my ducks up here so
[17:19]
that people knew I participated but my
[17:22]
need for authenticity was stopping me we
[17:25]
have a ducky oh and it's wrapped in like
[17:28]
what is that it looks like it's wrapped
[17:30]
in a bunch of bandages it's so
[17:32]
cute that is so cute oh my God I love
[17:36]
this one I have a ducky that came from
[17:39]
Mammoth Caves I will remember it forever
[17:42]
that is so cool for some reason I have
[17:46]
to unplug it and plug it back in every
[17:48]
time in order to make it start recording
[17:51]
again to press the button cuz it won't
[17:53]
work if I don't do that it's so annoying
[17:56]
but I'm going to keep working on it
[17:59]
so I just got my first ducky you'll see
[18:02]
that already from my other video but I
[18:04]
got a ducky I'm so happy so I just got
[18:07]
to visit the national parks and stuff if
[18:10]
I want to get them we're going to so I
[18:13]
asked about the caves you have to go in
[18:15]
groups you have to do it as tours you
[18:17]
can't go in on your own
[18:19]
anywhere so I don't know like I don't
[18:23]
like crowds so I don't know if we're
[18:25]
doing that ever I do I guess we'll do it
[18:27]
once cuz I want to see the
[18:29]
caves but we are here for the trails and
[18:33]
I don't want to take a long trail cuz
[18:34]
this is super hot I am dying
[18:37]
actually let's get some air
[18:41]
going
[18:44]
um but I'm not really sure like what we
[18:48]
should hike today there was a
[18:52]
pond where did it
[18:56]
go there was near here there's some kind
[18:58]
of a Pond Trail there it is
[19:02]
Sloan Crossing
[19:04]
Pond very small that's going to be a
[19:07]
small
[19:09]
Trail we need at least something like
[19:14]
reasonable how are we going to find this
[19:16]
this is
[19:19]
like man there are so many cool ass
[19:21]
Trails like holy I we have to hike
[19:24]
them
[19:27]
all well let's let do an easy one
[19:31]
today oh this is
[19:37]
exciting so let's see here there's one
[19:40]
that's near the Green
[19:42]
River but that's long cuz you got to
[19:45]
take one Trail to another Trail to
[19:46]
another
[19:48]
Trail and based on the scale down here
[19:51]
this is 2
[19:53]
miles so let's see
[19:56]
here might might be too bad maybe we
[20:00]
should do it we need to figure out how
[20:03]
to get
[20:06]
to I think we should Big Hollow Trail
[20:10]
Head wonder if I can pull that up like I
[20:13]
don't know let's find
[20:15]
out do you make things easy for me
[20:18]
Google Big
[20:21]
Hollow Trail h
[20:31]
can you guide me
[20:38]
there internet's not so great at the
[20:46]
moment oh my God it
[20:52]
can I think it can let me
[20:56]
check I don't know if it's I'm not 100%
[20:58]
in here but I mean it's only half a mile
[21:01]
away it must
[21:03]
understand
[21:06]
yes my map Reading skills have eroded
[21:10]
over
[21:12]
time
[21:14]
so I didn't
[21:16]
find
[21:17]
[Music]
[21:18]
um
[21:21]
like why can't think of worse today I
[21:24]
couldn't find anywhere to get any cold
[21:26]
drinks like a vending machine
[21:29]
and we were in the park and I didn't
[21:31]
bring a lot I do have some water in my
[21:35]
my backpack I guess we're forced to
[21:37]
drink water cuz I'm not going to go
[21:39]
looking we got a duck I'm so happy oh we
[21:43]
got a duck somebody left me a duck I
[21:47]
love that person by the way I think I
[21:49]
know who it was and I think cuz the jeep
[21:52]
was right next to me de always Park
[21:53]
together I
[21:55]
think um their license plate was from
[21:57]
Florida and it said disabled veteran a
[22:00]
disabled veteran gave me a ducky and I
[22:03]
gave them a
[22:07]
ducky all right let's go I wouldn't
[22:10]
think the visitor center would had
[22:12]
something to drink in there I need you
[22:16]
know what they have a big Campground
[22:19]
here let's go check
[22:21]
it I need like cold
[22:25]

[22:29]
that'll have a vending machine let's do
[22:31]
that first this thing's taking us there
[22:34]
so that can't be right I don't think
[22:36]
that's right um for the trail hat I
[22:38]
guess we'll find out so we're really
[22:41]
going this way
[22:46]

[22:49]
with it's got ice there's stuff going on
[22:52]
over
[22:54]
there we got to go over there all right
[22:58]
let's first check out if there's a trail
[22:59]

[23:04]
tell me to go that way I'm not allowed
[23:07]

[Applause]
[23:11]
Google that's confusing I don't think I
[23:13]
found the trail head for
[23:15]
us I don't believe it I don't think it
[23:18]
found the trail head we're going to have
[23:20]
to
[23:21]
have we're going to ask all right let's
[23:24]
go
[23:25]
around this place is huge what what's
[23:28]
going on in
[23:30]
here what's going on in
[23:33]
there we must
[23:37]
know they're building something
[23:41]
new I wonder what they're
[23:45]
building I love seeing work on our
[23:48]
national parks and stuff so
[23:54]
cool is this a road
[23:59]
does not feel like a road to
[24:02]
me what is going on over
[24:06]
here that jeep doesn't have any
[24:09]
Ducks I mean I'd be stopping every 5
[24:13]
Seconds oh it's got a duck maybe we
[24:16]

[24:23]
stopping we got to give him a
[24:26]
duck let come over here
[24:31]
they have a doctor we got to give them a
[24:36]
doctor it is just how it
[24:42]
works all right let's give these people
[24:45]
a
[24:46]
ducky they only have they got a few
[24:50]
actually they seem to come in different
[24:52]
sizes I didn't know
[24:55]
that o a pirate one pirate one let's
[24:58]
give him a pirate
[25:00]

[25:03]
that is it's very interesting oh I know
[25:06]
what that
[25:07]

[25:11]
that now they got a
[25:15]
pirate we're
[25:19]
off we gave him a pirate so cool I want
[25:23]
a pirate I'm not cheating though I'm not
[25:26]
doing it see I
[25:30]
will I will like I'm just so ethical
[25:34]
like I've been wanting to put my duckies
[25:36]
up here and I'm like no you will get a
[25:37]
ducking just wait you will get a ducky
[25:40]
I'm the same way with my channel I don't
[25:41]
want to manipulate on this
[25:43]
channel so I
[25:45]
don't be
[25:50]
patient I always play the long
[25:53]
game all right let's go see if we can
[25:55]
get some cool drinks and figure out
[25:57]
where that tra
[26:10]
that I mean we went to The Visitor
[26:13]
Center and they is in like
[26:19]
what some kind of a I don't know what
[26:22]
that one over
[26:26]
here I think
[26:29]
I don't know what it is I'm not going to
[26:30]
speculate but there's oh it's the post
[26:32]
office Mammoth gave I did see that they
[26:35]
had a post office so that's not pop
[26:38]
that's just
[26:40]
ice man I need cold
[26:45]
drinks we're just going to end up
[26:46]
driving around trying to figure stuff
[26:48]
out I
[26:51]
gu Mammoth Cave Railroad Company how
[26:55]
cool
[27:01]
is that a vending
[27:03]
machine yes it is oh a camp store
[27:09]
cool Hello Camp store you are exactly
[27:12]
what I was looking for you have
[27:15]
sandwiches I am
[27:18]
hungry I don't have a lot of cash on
[27:22]
me let us stop here for a
[27:24]
moment maybe they could tell me how to
[27:26]
get to this place
[27:29]
trying to get
[27:31]
to Big Hollow Trail Head Big Hollow
[27:34]
Trail Head let me try to remember that
[27:36]
Big Hollow Trail head
[27:59]
oh got a very nice guy in there he told
[28:02]
me so the trail I'm trying to get you is
[28:04]
an hour and a half
[28:06]
away um because you have to drive there
[28:08]
if the ferry was working um it's a 20
[28:11]
minutes if the ferry was working so but
[28:15]
he did tell me where to go for other
[28:17]
trails and they're all behind The
[28:20]
Visitor Center and they just Branch off
[28:23]
so let's do
[28:24]
that go back to the visitor center
[28:29]
and figure out takes you down by the
[28:31]
river so now I know why the fair is so
[28:33]
important hour and a half
[28:38]
wow that makes this place pretty
[28:41]
big this is
[28:46]
awesome oh yeah I saw this too I have to
[28:49]
have a certain kind of vehicle to park
[28:51]
there hybrids and stuff
[28:59]
so we shall Park here I guess and go for
[29:02]
a hike go for a
[29:08]
walk turn this off so I'm going to leave
[29:11]
the GoPro behind cuz it's you know I
[29:14]
taped it up there I don't want to mess
[29:15]
with the mount until I get a better
[29:16]
mount for that
[29:17]
situation just take my
[29:21]
camera and we're off this bridge looks
[29:24]
pretty cool but we got to go this way
[29:26]
historic entrance think something to
[29:28]
deal with his
[29:29]
stor that's where the trail store he
[29:32]
said something about his stor so we're
[29:33]
going to go find
[29:42]
that historic
[29:45]
entrance this is
[29:48]
nice wow we put lots of effort into our
[29:51]
national parks
[30:10]
think we're going
[30:17]
downhill y historic entrance
[30:20]
Trail okay at least we have a sense of
[30:23]
this those are very like short trails
[30:28]
ni okay
[30:31]
whatever I like this path it's
[30:34]
nice but these are the common TR this is
[30:36]
where everybody
[30:37]
comes this isn't where I wanted to be
[30:40]
this is pretty though I love this tree
[30:42]
canopy looks like a trail over
[30:46]
there it
[30:48]
does might end up on that one look it's
[30:52]
real nice but it's just going to take
[30:53]
you back up it's going to be a very
[30:55]
steep climb back up this is quite an
[31:00]
incline
[31:01]
um that feels like a way out so we're
[31:04]
not going to take that
[31:06]
trail be kind of
[31:09]
pointless wow it feels remarkably cool
[31:12]
down here like whatever the features
[31:17]
are that fell there's a nice Cool Breeze
[31:19]
these trails are very very
[31:21]
short but we'll take them we're
[31:25]
here there's some Trails down there they
[31:27]
are also short but we'll probably take
[31:29]
those
[31:31]
to I never been here this is a new
[31:33]
experience
[31:36]
so
[31:39]
um it's nice I like
[31:42]
this I suspect the trails down there are
[31:45]
more commonly hiked but there will be
[31:47]
people here too we're not far
[31:52]
from
[31:53]
um The Visitor Center
[31:56]
so those are very very tall trees
[32:00]
wow those are some tall
[32:12]
trees there's some nice formations
[32:15]
[Music]
[32:18]
here reminds me of the Natural Bridge to
[32:20]
an extent but it's also unique it's
[32:23]
different there's something different
[32:24]
about this place
[32:27]
this is
[32:32]
nice and I suppose we're hiking over a
[32:35]
very
[32:36]
um extensive cave Network and what have
[32:40]
we stumbled across
[32:45]
here
[32:47]
ooh hibernating cave for bats
[32:53]
wow white nose syndrome
[32:59]
killed a lot of
[33:02]
bats
[33:04]
what that's fascinating there's a cave
[33:07]
over
[33:12]
here
[33:14]
wow I mean of course there is but you
[33:17]
know still I'm here I'm right
[33:21]
here okay I'll take you back to the
[33:23]
visitor center
[33:25]
interesting so where do you go you just
[33:28]
an
[33:29]
Overlook that it's just a little
[33:31]
Overlook to this cave it is I
[33:35]
think wow I love this place this place
[33:37]
is amazing
[34:01]
what oh my
[34:08]
God yeah I don't explore places like
[34:12]
that never no
[34:15]
way but very cool it's like a whole
[34:18]
other world I'll explore that in the
[34:21]
Zelda
[34:23]
games what do we have up here this is a
[34:26]
nice little spot to just chill
[34:29]
Night Flight so the bats come out at
[34:31]
night oh lots of them bats are cool I
[34:38]
think this is so neat I love
[34:42]
this they sleeper
[34:48]
winter trops cold
[34:51]
air 44 degre that sounds nice
[34:57]
yep they
[34:59]
hibernate fascinating I didn't know
[35:03]
that
[35:06]
fascinating what a wonderful Trail this
[35:10]
is makes sense you know the short trails
[35:12]
are going
[35:14]
to probably have a lot of important
[35:18]
features on
[35:20]
them that are Central to the park it
[35:23]
makes sense why the visitor center is
[35:25]
where it is okay I'm starting connect
[35:28]
some dots in my head
[35:30]
here fascinating so it's important to
[35:33]
explore these places even if they are
[35:40]
short does that say 9 miles to a picnic
[35:44]
area it must be missing a dot it is
[35:47]
that's funny somebody I think somebody
[35:49]
did that not cool not cool guys but you
[35:54]
know still funny still funny I can admit
[35:57]
it
[35:59]
so 0.9 that's almost a mile mile to a
[36:02]
picnic area let's go find
[36:14]
it I love it here there's a squirrel
[36:17]
over there I've seen a few they're being
[36:19]
very playful here yeah they don't seem
[36:22]
too bothered by
[36:24]
humans so they're quite used to us
[36:31]
so maybe this takes us to the original
[36:34]
cave entrance is that what they were
[36:36]
getting
[36:46]
at interesting that lots of people are
[36:49]
not on these Trails really I've only
[36:51]
past one person so far
[36:58]
the visitor center is
[37:00]
packed and that was nothing the guy in
[37:03]
there told me he's like if you think
[37:04]
this is busy you know that kind of talk
[37:08]
I'm like dude I'm not making a criticism
[37:10]
here I
[37:11]
just I'm Different I would like to go
[37:15]
see the caves with a big group of
[37:19]
people oh that's where a lot of the
[37:21]
people are that makes sense I mean it is
[37:23]
Mammoth Cave so so what do we have here
[37:26]
we have a bran in
[37:28]
trail dialectical
[37:31]
thinking I like this one even
[37:35]
more
[37:37]
do this one's awesome let's get a frame
[37:40]
of this I'm going to end up using this
[37:51]
somehow
[37:53]
amazing let's go check out the
[37:58]
um the Scenic Overlook this way and
[38:02]
maybe check out the
[38:04]
oh okay well okay wow lots of branching
[38:07]
paths those are always
[38:11]
fun let's start with the Scenic Overlook
[38:13]
see what we're looking at what's going
[38:16]
on around this
[38:19]
place I think it's going to be pretty
[38:22]
magnificent based on what I'm seeing so
[38:26]
far this is a nice
[38:29]
Trail such a lovely
[38:37]
Trail man I love Kentucky
[38:58]
okay another Branch
[39:02]
here nothing clearly marked we're going
[39:05]
to need to look at the
[39:06]
map to understand the um trail system
[39:11]
here that's a long trail too I can see
[39:13]
how it leads up there wonder where it's
[39:18]
going so this is a little
[39:21]
Overlook no because it did say half no
[39:23]
it didn't say it didn't tell us the
[39:25]
distance oh
[39:28]
you could walk down there
[39:30]
too wouldn't be that difficult just go
[39:33]
this
[39:34]
way that is a beautiful
[39:37]
tree you are beautiful I hope that you
[39:40]
keep hanging
[39:42]
on clearly trying to is anyone helping
[39:45]
support you that little tree I don't
[39:48]
know you're probably hurting that one to
[39:50]
be
[39:52]
honest but yeah that one kind
[39:55]
of is taking advantage of those little
[39:57]
trees there not cool not cool
[40:01]
tree
[40:04]
um yeah it really
[40:07]
is but you know even though th trees are
[40:10]
like okay we'll manage we'll do it we
[40:13]
can
[40:14]
manage and they
[40:16]
are let's see what's this
[40:21]
way wait I felt like there
[40:24]
were did it Branch over there now I'm a
[40:26]
little confused used okay well we can't
[40:29]
go up here so let's do
[40:31]
it okay yeah Dad right there and we're
[40:34]
just we're we're going to merge with
[40:38]
it let's see where this
[40:41]
goes we got a sign over
[40:51]
here yeah nearly a mile Green River
[40:53]
Bluff
[40:55]
Trail mile to the visitor center if you
[40:57]
go this way so it's kind of curve around
[41:01]
probably let's do
[41:03]
that we need
[41:06]
to um we need to really research that
[41:11]
map you know let's be smart about it and
[41:14]
understand where we
[41:15]
are that is very nice maybe I could even
[41:18]
bring my nice camera out
[41:23]
here those rocks are beautiful
[41:28]
I love the way the Shadow and the light
[41:30]
is playing on
[41:31]
them it's a beautiful shot there it's
[41:35]
not as evident on my camera I'm looking
[41:37]
at that
[41:38]
now um yeah I need my I need my good
[41:42]
camera so that we can do
[41:46]
something um I want good pictures and
[41:52]
video and not just for my main Channel
[41:54]
but for others that is a little tiny
[41:56]
snake
[41:58]
hi you're so
[42:00]
cool you're so cool look at
[42:04]
you are you new to the
[42:07]
world so
[42:11]
cool
[42:13]
awesome I'm so glad I got to witness
[42:16]
that
[42:29]
I like it
[42:43]
here I'm wondering is there a river down
[42:45]
there what's going on down
[42:48]
there I think there is I think I
[42:50]
remember it out the map so I do think it
[42:54]
converged with the visitor center sort
[42:56]
of
[42:58]
oh those other Trails when we first
[43:00]
turned it out when we could have Branch
[43:01]
left to right I bet the left ones take
[43:03]
you down
[43:05]
there okay we want to do
[43:11]
that definitely want to see the
[43:17]
river but I'm glad that we took this
[43:19]
path
[43:20]
first I want to
[43:23]
see what the forest of Mammoth Caves
[43:25]
looks like
[43:30]
it's
[43:49]
wonderful yeah we're going to have to
[43:50]
hike these TRS again too because I
[43:53]
want I do want my GoPro
[44:00]
and my Lumix camera I just need to learn
[44:02]
that
[44:08]
one I'm hearing some people but I can
[44:11]
tell that they're down
[44:13]
there her voices are carrying
[44:27]
Family Man Woman
[44:30]
child all right let's
[44:45]
go I really want to work or volunteer at
[44:50]
a place like this so badly I think about
[44:53]
it it has been an ongoing thought of
[44:55]
mine for a for decades
[44:59]
like maybe it's time for me to act on
[45:04]
that I want to get out here and help
[45:06]
help build these
[45:08]
fences clean up trash whatever I don't
[45:11]
care what it
[45:17]
is I want to help preserve these places
[45:21]
that's what I
[45:24]
want yep there's a river down there
[45:28]
I don't know that we'll see
[45:33]
it oh we got a little Overlook
[45:38]
here I love this place the Green
[45:44]
River I'll show you the map and then
[45:46]
I'll show you the
[45:47]
river or you know the
[45:51]
sign there's a Green River Lake Nolan
[45:54]
River that leads up to the park that's
[45:56]
there
[45:57]
can't read
[45:58]
that that's a M's cave so I can tell by
[46:01]
the
[46:02]
shape so it's where a Green River
[46:05]
intersect with Nolan
[46:07]
River doesn't really say where we are in
[46:10]
comparison like right now
[46:13]
but here we
[46:16]
go um very low water levels it's
[46:21]
unfortunate but there's Beauty in that
[46:24]
too you know there really is that's
[46:27]
beautiful to
[46:31]
me I love
[46:33]
it so
[46:36]
beautiful what a gorgeous spot this
[46:49]
is I'm wondering what this thing is what
[46:52]
do they de with that what's its
[46:55]
purpose we're going to sit down for a
[46:57]
minut we're going to just
[46:58]
chill need to get a colder pop and
[47:01]
stuff I had an amazing time hiking that
[47:05]
simple Trail and seeing some of the park
[47:08]
and
[47:09]
like oh my God I'm in love with this
[47:12]
place it came right out near my Jeep too
[47:14]
that was
[47:16]
unexpected we've got another Jeep near
[47:18]
us of
[47:19]
course I'm on the lookout for duckies
[47:22]
now we want more
[47:24]
duckies we want more of them but we have
[47:29]
too we have a pair of them they're so
[47:32]
cute
