Treasures of our Town
Craig Road Trips Across The Country, Once Again!
Ever laughed so hard your sides hurt? That's precisely what happened to us, Joshua and Craig, during our absurdly enjoyable escapade to Uranus—a town that's more than its cheeky name. But our latest podcast isn't just a collection of giggles; it's an honest heart-to-heart about the emotional swings of travel. From the awe of the Grand Canyon to the pangs of missing our pet pals, we're laying it all out there. Ride along as we share tales of manifesting dreamy destinations, encountering unexpected personal revelations, and succumbing to the bittersweet symphony that is life on the road.
Now, picture this: juggling a jam-packed schedule with the soothing hum of the highway as the backdrop. Sounds tough, right? Well, buckle up because that's the reality I'm steering into. With a solo drive marathon, a mountain of editing, and a deadline to hit Phoenix, our chat takes a turn towards the chaotic side of content creation. But rest assured, despite the impending crunch of editing podcasts and videos—including a special project with Munzy—the promise is a polished product without compromise. Join us in this episode where the rubber meets the road in the pursuit of balancing work and wanderlust.

Every day, it says, at a random time, it changes every day. It says, time to be real. Yeah. And you have two minutes to take a picture of whatever you're doing in that moment. Yeah. And so it's fun because, you know, sometimes a lot of times you're geocaching, sometimes you're driving, but mostly you're you're having fun.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And so I wanna hear about all the fun.
Speaker 2:Well, all my fun that I've had. So I left I left New Jersey on this trip. Now if you don't know, I've got a an SUV. Alright. K? And it's a nice four wheel drive SUV, Bikikov.
Speaker 1:What's his name?
Speaker 2:The its name is Stu. Stu. As in Stuart? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because of my registration plates or econ license plates here or tags or whatever you wanna call them
Speaker 1:license plates.
Speaker 2:License plates. Yeah. My license plates actually say, mate stew. Wait. Me stew. So Like my it's he's my mate, Stu.
Speaker 1:Yeah. But what's the actual plate?
Speaker 2:M eight three
Speaker 1:m eight three.
Speaker 2:S t
Speaker 1:u. Did you get that on
Speaker 2:purpose? No.
Speaker 1:Whoa. Josie plates?
Speaker 2:Why? They give them to you like random. It named itself. Before I got my plates, because, obviously, with your rules here and stuff as well and I bought it and I didn't have plates. I had those paper plate things you have. Yeah. Very strange for Australia. Just saying we get our plates at the registry anyway. You know, I was likely to register it at the DMV because of you guys, you know, the slots here. But anyway, they're so slow. So you give me those two like, give me those paper ones that just have a random number on it and that was it? Right. And so they came in the mail. And when they came, I didn't even know what they were. And I looked. Before that though, I'd named my my car Eddie because it's an Eddie Bauer model. So Eddie Bauer is the model of my car. It's a Ford Ford Explorer.
Speaker 1:Student like that.
Speaker 2:No. He didn't. So as soon as I got a plates, I went I went, oh, Sorry. This is this
Speaker 1:is Paul.
Speaker 2:Sorry mate. This is my mate stew. You know, so this is the Me and my mate stew.
Speaker 1:And only Australia's conference. Meets.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Exactly.
Speaker 1:Although
Speaker 2:although here's an Australian tip for each.

Speaker 2:So if I'm talking about someone like you, Yep. That's my mate, Josh. And see how I say it. That's my mate, Josh. Yeah. If I'm talking about, you know, someone who I don't like, I go, oh, here's your mate.
Speaker 1:So like you're not
Speaker 2:Like, say say say we don't like a person named under Johnny. Right. Oh oh, your mate Johnny. So when I'm talking about him, I say he's your mate Johnny. Even if he's not your mind,
Speaker 1:and that means you don't.
Speaker 2:That means you don't like him.
Speaker 1:Or either of them. Or what if you what if you just don't know them? Can you say that's your mate?
Speaker 2:But you say it differently.
Speaker 1:How do you say it?
Speaker 2:You or you even say friend. You got all your friend Johnny as opposed to all that that you all make. Johnny. And you you put this
Speaker 1:Your oh, you put the emphasis on the
Speaker 3:It was
Speaker 2:on the your
Speaker 1:my your man. That's your man. That's my man.
Speaker 2:No. No.
Speaker 1:That guy right. Sure.
Speaker 2:Go my There you go. See, I'm giving you the Aussie tips. So there you go. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I can't wait to actually use that in real life. Never. Maybe I know Australia. I think I'm gonna like a lot of people in Australia. So
Speaker 2:But again, Josh, I love this word, digress. We're doing it again. That's good. So my vehicle itself, I basically reside in it to this to when I travel. Yeah. I took out
Speaker 1:which means you live in it.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I I took out the the real estate is now mine It's it's got the rear seats. There's three seats. Okay. And then behind that, Josh. And you call it the trunk area. Yeah. It had another two seats. You see?
Speaker 1:Had a third row. A third row. Yeah. I took out the third row.
Speaker 2:Talk out the second row.
Speaker 1:Perfect.
Speaker 2:Perfect. And so then I laid a, like, a fat timber board down on floor, etcetera. Made it like a little hatch underneath at the back. So I can put some my style link underneath as well in storage. Nice. Underneath where because where it comes out with foot well in in the second one is, that story gerry under there. So natural story perfect. I've got a beautiful, really, oh, it's so comfortable. Six inch foam memory foam mattress Yeah. In the back, but it's only the single one because it's only me.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So it's a single one goes down one side. And then on the other side, I've built out like a shelf system as well for part of my clothing area and part of my, you know, food and nuke next as well. So
Speaker 1:It sounds cozy. Yeah. Do you feel ever feel claustrophobic?
Speaker 2:No. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1:You like your little desk?
Speaker 2:Yes. My nest. Oh, yeah. And I call it too. It's my nest. And it's funny enough. So in the warm or cooler weathers, etcetera, I've put what they call reflectix, which is this is like an insulated sort of material. And I've wrapped that in like a black plastic and that goes over the back window. You see, so it's totally black in there. On the side windows, the backside windows. Again, they've got the same black plastic through, and then I'll put it up into the the back windows. And then between the driver's area, the front of the car, and the back I've got a, like, a a rope of sorts.
Speaker 1:Like a curtain
Speaker 2:and and then two curtain black lines to go across. Exactly. So I'm fully blacked out.
Speaker 1:So when you lay your head down Mhmm. And you lay straight on your back Mhmm. With your legs out. Are your legs touching the end? No. So you there's room.
Speaker 2:There's room. I'm six foot. Yeah. I'm exactly six
Speaker 1:foot. Room. Would you say from from pillows? Like, how much space till your feet would hit that back
Speaker 2:probably three inches. So not that much.
Speaker 1:Not that much.
Speaker 2:Not that much.
Speaker 1:You're not
Speaker 2:But it's a new diamond
Speaker 1:that curl up.
Speaker 2:No. No. No. No.
Speaker 1:To feel comfortable
Speaker 2:I'm a side sleeper anyway. So when I sleep on my side Right. Sort of my knees behind me.
Speaker 1:It shortens your self.
Speaker 2:It shortens myself up anyway. So yeah. So it's crazy. So this is my vehicle that I travel and live in basic. And working. And working. And do podcast. Podcast.
Speaker 1:That's everything. Exactly. Exactly.
Speaker 2:Why not? Exactly. So I left New Jersey just around the the end of April. Okay. I left New Jersey and my first stop, Josh. Yes.

Speaker 2:Yes. But you're under why. Like, Tammy's like, oh, she's in the bedroom. Oh, here he goes again. No. She's the notice.
Speaker 1:It knows the content is priority. Oh, because there's a silver play button just now. Oh, he retches again. Looking. Looking over our kitchen table.
Speaker 2:And you can probably hear your voice just change slightly as you look towards it and temper it. But anyway Alright. We'll get back to it. To it. So before we finished swallow. He taught me the second day. I mean, I had dinner there with his his wife and he's like, well, absolutely great guy. Great guy. Then him and his wife took me to William Sport, Pennsylvania, which is just a little bit north where his farm was. William Sport, Pennsylvania. Is the home of the Little League World series, Josh.
Speaker 3:Yay.
Speaker 1:So shout out to Scott Birx and his whole family.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. I didn't realize that the Little League World series is all done at one town called William Sport. It's not throughout the the country. No. It's all that's where
Speaker 1:the world series is.
Speaker 2:That's where the world series is. So we went to that. We I didn't know that. We went to the field, but this is the best part. We went to the field. Nice big bronze statue, of course, as well. This field, I'll tell you. No wonder ESPN, Mike Bannon's up there, and it's it's It's Little League. It's kids, Josh.
Speaker 1:What are
Speaker 2:you saying again? But it is legit.
Speaker 1:It's like professional.
Speaker 2:Professional. Like, the the the turf is, like, laid, gorgeous green colored turf, etcetera as well. So there is a virtual cache as well if you wanna go there. It's it's itself. Plenty of Mondays as well, which is awesome. Yes. But after that, we went into the town of Williams Bookhead. Now that's the town. The town itself has embraced the baseball.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm sure. It's just a little bit. A lot of money to count. Yeah. It's just a little bit.
Speaker 2:And you can tell why because of that bronze statues everywhere. This town is bronze statues, baseball,
Speaker 1:like, fans of, like, what are the bra broad statues of.
Speaker 2:The best but
Speaker 1:not kids? Yeah. Brand statues of kids? Yes. Like, that have have become famous baseball players? No. Just random random kids.
Speaker 2:Okay. So the main the main intersection of Tim, the actual main cross intersection of town. It's a nice big intersection. There's there's traffic lights there as well. And it's a really cool adventure. I'm just at the one intersection with a five Okay. Five way points. You've got on every corner is one of the bases, so you got first base, second base, third base, and home plate.
Speaker 3:Mhmm.
Speaker 2:Okay. All bronze. At each base, it's called bases loaded because there's there's the fielders there, Josh. There's the the runners around base as well. Oh, that's cool. But it's so it's so it's the the the heart of what it World Series Baseball, Little League Baseball was all about. In terms of the inclusivity of everything. So at one point, they're on third bass. On third bass, they're runner at third bass, Josh. He's got you know, like, a ran forest run when he's got those those stilts in his legs. Breaks. Breaks. Breaks. Yeah. Yeah. So this kid bronzed got kid there with braces on his legs back to run from third to home. You
Speaker 1:know, that's cool.
Speaker 2:So stuff like that. It's really cool. It's really really That's
Speaker 1:an eventual app.
Speaker 2:That's an eventual app in the middle of town there.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's good.
Speaker 2:The then then you've also got at the home plate. You've actually got and it's all Braun sometime.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You've got the actual net behind all in bronze net.
Speaker 1:Oh, really? Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it's netting as well. You can probably get through a resort. And then you've got three men standing over like a a pole that and they're watching it on. So you've got one guy's there who's a creator. Of the Little League Baseball World series. He's the creator. He got another guy there who was the basically, the advertiser for it all. Like, he was the one who brought in the VPN and all the actual the advertisers of it in the media. And then in the middle is George Bush. Because George yes. Because George Bush was there and he facilitated He was w
Speaker 1:or George w senior. George
Speaker 2:c oh, god. Not a
Speaker 1:bet she's probably senior.
Speaker 2:Nothing is senior.
Speaker 1:Like, knock on that. What they present?
Speaker 2:I can't go on the strategy. But anyway, the best part again, one of the things was happening here. He's there as well because he was present at the time and he visited to sort of open up the world series a little world series baseball. In the back pocket, it's actually got the the pamphlet. Of the year he was there with the year on it and stuff as well. So it is a really, really awesome place to go. The only thing I said and I said to Heather Dan's Dan's wife because she's on some committee or board or something because she said that they're always upgrading Josh. This this this plot. Like I said, do I because it's basically, it's the guy has just hit. So the whole the whole thing is this the the banner has just hit the ball. And he's looking up with a better his other shoulder we
Speaker 1:use. Shoulder out.
Speaker 2:Yep. After swing, the runners are are are running. So the runners are going. And then there's there's guys that are looking up. They're looking up. And they're all looking to where the ball would be. Okay. But there's no ball.
Speaker 1:And I said to us, where is the ball?
Speaker 2:I said to us, the ball should be embedded into the wall of the building across from second base. Very cool. Like up the up the top. So I was like a home run.
Speaker 1:Very cool.
Speaker 2:That's what she said. So guess what? She's gonna put it in the notes for the commenders. Heather that
Speaker 3:came to
Speaker 2:life. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I didn't know she was okay. Oh,
Speaker 2:Dan and Heather are involved.
Speaker 3:Dan and Heather are
Speaker 2:very involved in the whole committee. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:The thing is
Speaker 1:So just so you know Mhmm. I'm fact checking.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Checking. Thank
Speaker 1:you. It was George w Bush. It was George w Bush.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 1:And he would become the first president to visit the little league baseball world series watching as Japan defeats a foreign team. And he was the first one.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 1:There you go. It was w.
Speaker 2:And what year was it?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Oh, it didn't say but anyway, the u I can't say the u because that's part probably I think that's the No.
Speaker 1:We don't wanna mention that's
Speaker 2:a question for one of the eventual items. But they are so
Speaker 1:So that's literally weird series Yes. The Dutch rock
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:All this great caches. Alright. Let's let's keep going. Let's let's keep
Speaker 2:moving on. Moving on. So I say they weren't not moved on. And when I travel people ask me as well, here's more travel tips for everyone out there too. If you're traveling like me and if you're in an RV for instance or if you're in a in a vehicle of some sort that's equipped and you can actually stay, your best place people think Josh, people think Walmart's the best place to stay. Nah. Nah.
Speaker 1:Nah. Nah. Nah.
Speaker 2:Nah. Not so much.
Speaker 1:What? Bapered? Sorry. That's George George Bush again.
Speaker 2:The reason why I say Walmart's aren't as good is because, you know, the the big big open space is some Walmart's now don't don't allow it anymore. We call hones in Australia. And what it what they're they're, like, younger generation
Speaker 1:Rebel rompers.
Speaker 2:Car lovers who come and do donuts in the middle of car parks.
Speaker 1:I call those scuds balls.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Those. So a lot of those come in overnight in Walmart and stuff as well.
Speaker 1:So not a great place.
Speaker 2:The best place to stay
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:Cracker Barrel. Oh, yeah. Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 1:Breakfast in the morning. Exactly.
Speaker 3:You
Speaker 1:want to be shopping? They have a great gift shop.
Speaker 2:Yep. Exactly right. And that's you do as well. So you stay there overnight and it's free when you you park up overnight, absolutely free. But again, you know, and you can use their bathrooms. They're happy for you to stay there. Most of them are. I'd always double check with the manager. But, yeah, I go in for breakfast. I mean, you can't beat. Oh, they're breakfast, Josh.
Speaker 1:Yeah. They go. Good biscuits.
Speaker 2:The old time is like I've always got the old time of breakfast. Yeah. Bacon eggs with a hash brown casserole.
Speaker 1:That's great.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm in I
Speaker 1:I eat breakfast anytime. We should go to detties after this time.
Speaker 2:Yes. So I that's where I normally stay, and it's free, and it's and they're they're straight off the highway normally as well, so they're easier to stay at. So that's where I normally stay. After I've left Pennsylvania, Josh, I went over to Maryland, and I went to Cooper's Rock State Forest in Maryland. Yes. Why do I go there? Why? Because there's a cash across America at the Cooper's Rook Okay. For
Speaker 1:free for talented people. What is cash across America?
Speaker 2:Okay. We've talked about others. We have. We have, but totally not sponsored. You can go to geocaching central dot com and they have the full outline and list and what you need to do But basically, the basic rundown is there's one cash, geocash in every single state that is a cash across America.
Speaker 1:One special cash.
Speaker 2:One special cash in every state. You must obtain that cash, put the name on the logbook. You're then gonna take a photo of yourself with the cash as well. So they do require you to take a photo And then you when you log it, you put that photo on they're happy to have spoilers on the page. So put your photo on the log. That's all good. They do then have a code underneath the in the in the cache somewhere, whether it's underneath the mocan lead or wherever it might be. But there is a code inside the cache you must write down that code for that cache itself. You do all fifty all fifty states including, you know, Alaska and Hawaii as well. And then the final is in DC. And the final rigor then requires you to do some math, etcetera, as well with all the all the numbers you've you've got to actually get to the g z of that location. After you find g z, you can then email the person who owns g z, and and they will put you on the hall of faint Josh.
Speaker 1:That's cool.
Speaker 2:That's cool. So Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Not, I mean,
Speaker 2:not many people
Speaker 1:many people have completed it. We're in the world of geocaching life. There's there's lots of geocaches. Very little people have accomplished this. Yeah. I'm really curious how many have you done so far? Dash Cross America.
Speaker 2:Cash Cross America's the actual cash because I
Speaker 1:I haven't started this, George, this year. That's fine. And how many are you you have more than I do?
Speaker 2:Yeah. I I think I'm up to fourteen. For now.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Fifteen on this coming Monday.
Speaker 2:Yes. Exactly. Minnesota.
Speaker 1:With Yeah. I have DNF.
Speaker 2:Yeah. You want this this this month, it's back.
Speaker 1:I think you say it was gone. It was gone. It was gone. There's a video there.
Speaker 2:So that's the reason though I went to Maryland, and that's the reason why I went to Koopa's rock state forest as well. Yeah. But to get this one, Josh, the Cash Cross America, it's a two hour round trip hike again like you like you kinda did as well. But this is more of a forestry hike. Yeah. It's really nice. It's so so scenic and gorgeous. But the best part is you go you have to actually walk past the cash by a little bit to to get to the big overlook. There's no there's nothing stopping you from falling off this over.
Speaker 1:Yeah. It's one of those.
Speaker 2:It's one of those. It's
Speaker 1:there's no Like the last episode where I almost
Speaker 2:fell into the sea. Actually. That's what it's like. Yeah. And and this one, it's got some like, you know how with the rocks part, not this part, they split slightly, and it just It's just still sitting there, but there's that big crevasse down in the middle of the room that goes for goes for hundreds of feet down.
Speaker 1:Oh, and
Speaker 2:I'm talking hundreds of feet down here. And that rocker sitting there by itself. I may or may not have jumped back and forth a few times. There's a video that's gonna come out there shortly too. Oh, you
Speaker 1:haven't done a video of that yet, but Oh, I
Speaker 2:haven't entered yet. Okay. Busy. But so yeah. So there's that one there. And again, it's the it's not just the actual cache.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:It's the places we should take total. You know worse.
Speaker 1:And a lot of these cash across America, caches are this is the older program.
Speaker 2:Mhmm.
Speaker 1:And they were hidden kind of, it's a very purest geocaching. Like, it's mostly all ammo cans. Yeah. And they're pretty remote places Yeah. Often kinda cool places Yeah. Off the beaten path. Mhmm. I've I've done a couple of Cash CrossAmerica. The best one I've done and you're gonna get to go to it is in Wyoming.
Speaker 3:Oh, I
Speaker 2:won't get to do it this trip though.
Speaker 1:Oh, you won't get it?
Speaker 2:No. No. No. Oh, what's he done? The little fellow? Little glove. Little glove. You can hear me in the
Speaker 1:back minded about you guys America.
Speaker 2:Hey, dude.
Speaker 1:You're not gonna get so the one in Wyoming. Is it Jackson Hole in Wyoming?
Speaker 2:Yes. Yeah. I know I'm in the
Speaker 1:in the grand t times.
Speaker 2:I know I'm not getting that far
Speaker 1:across. Oh, I know. You'll get you'll get there.
Speaker 2:I'll get there.
Speaker 1:So a lot of people say it's one of the best cash across America Mhmm. Spots. I have a video of it.
Speaker 2:Oh, let's
Speaker 1:put it.
Speaker 2:K. Remami. Was there for work put in there? Can
Speaker 1:you believe that? I did a bit for work. Yeah. I was there for Wow. For speaking in a school. Wow. Wow. That's a great one.
Speaker 2:I will say though this this one here in in Maryland. It is the second largest ammo can I have ever see?
Speaker 1:Oh, as well as, like, like, eight cash side.
Speaker 2:It's slightly smaller than eight cash.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. So it's not one of the freestanding eight cash this, like, four foot tall. Yeah. But it's this one's wide. And I'm talking, you know, three or four foot wide.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like, it is a it's a heavy thing as well. And it was stock to the brim Josh.
Speaker 1:We've got one like that.
Speaker 2:Oh, you do? Here. I am wondering if
Speaker 1:you have time for it's it's called, like, the biggest cash in whatever town.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's it is yeah. It's like it's a wide able. Okay? Mhmm. Tall and wide.
Speaker 2:Yep. Yep.
Speaker 1:Sorry. Where next? Where next? Where next? Greg
Speaker 2:straight through. So we're going to head west. And then the reason why I head west this way, I wanted to visit Morgantown, West Virginia.
Speaker 1:I've always wanted to go there.
Speaker 2:You did it.
Speaker 1:Yeah. There's a different reason. Oh. And I'll talk about it. Tell you tell that. I've never been
Speaker 2:my reason is because a friend of yours, mine, the podcast, and the Monsey, and geocaching world it was actually studying there at the time. Buckeye Casher one one one studies at West Virginia with w v u. In in in Morgantown as well.
Speaker 3:So the
Speaker 1:old carson.
Speaker 2:The old carson was there. So I met with carson. And he gave me the tour, Josh. He gave me the tour of Morgantown, including but this is the way for it. It it ends. It ends with him. Buy me dinner in the cafeteria.
Speaker 1:I know you knew exactly why too. Yeah. Yeah. My kids My kids could do the same thing because I assume Mhmm. They got he had some extra meal swipes.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah. And not some extra mill he had extra mill dollars on. And he he had to get rid of it because they can't he couldn't carry it over. No. He couldn't roll it over. He can't carry it over. So he had to get rid of it. To the point where you love this. Two days after I was there, he was hosting a geocaching event, whereby at the event he was applying the event. The event attendees with, like, snacks and dinners and meals.
Speaker 1:Meals. Meals of his food from his on his you're a missile. Card. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. But it's because they they can go to a store and get all the chips and
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness. Lots of stuff. That's funny.
Speaker 2:So he was supplying all the snacks Oh
Speaker 1:my gosh.
Speaker 2:What a cool guy? Like, for a young guy to think about that. You know, that's that's great. So I
Speaker 1:I'm just picturing you walking on on campus with him. I mean, the dude is like, in his twenties. You're not in his twenties. You're double that at least. What and people probably thought you were like his dad.
Speaker 2:I was born in the same year as his dad. Just same. So you we worked at eight times. It could be his father. So yeah. Yeah. And you know what? If I was, what a proud father I'd be to, then what a good kid he is? Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Who's it as real dollars for events?
Speaker 2:I know. I know. It's
Speaker 1:resourceful that's right there.
Speaker 2:So, Josh, you've never been to Morgantown, this place It is obviously predominantly the WV, the university town. It is very heavy university.
Speaker 1:West Virginia. University of West Virginia.
Speaker 2:University of Virginia. Yeah. And So he'd gave me a tour of the campus. We then This is my favorite part. They call it, oh, the PRT or the put. So if you're all the cockkits, you go, let's ride on the pit. Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's good.
Speaker 3:Let's go
Speaker 2:Let's go Let's go I don't know. Next class.
Speaker 1:I don't know what you do on the per Get
Speaker 2:to the next class on
Speaker 1:the per Go go to your class.
Speaker 2:Kurt. PRT means personal rapid transit. Now This thing was built by Boeing in nineteen seventy five. It is the only one in existence still this day in the world. It has several mini bus slash tram like like objects where you go into like a train or tram station.
Speaker 1:Okay?
Speaker 2:And you press a button as to where you wanna go. Mhmm. You then look around and one door will open on one of these little miniature buses. You walk and it has up the top where you're going. You then get onto that miniature bus tram.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:The doors close and all of a sudden, you're a whisked off and you actually at, it doesn't stop anywhere apart from where you wanna stop. So it's a personal rapid transport. Now that's fascinating. This thing does not go on roads. It is powered by electric because it's got like electric things out the side. So it's electric, but it runs on actual rubber tires. It runs on like a concrete sort of strip area, and they can pass each other in passing bays.
Speaker 1:What? Yes. It is and this was Yolked her in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2:You gotta look this up. I
Speaker 1:need to look at the video.
Speaker 2:Look it up while I'm still talking about built by Boeing nineteen seventy five personal rapid transit in Morgantown. When I I wrote on it, I'm I'm gonna do a TikTok on it as well because it was It was fun. It was only more it was Morgan. It was only Carson and I in there because he wanted to take me around. So And sure enough, you bypass. There's little bypass areas where you bypass or in in in in in different areas and stuff too. So Yeah. It is absolutely incredible, Josh.
Speaker 1:Wow. It sounds like the future.
Speaker 2:Mhmm. But it's stalled.
Speaker 1:It's, like, forty years of fifty years old.
Speaker 2:I was born seventy five, forty nine years old.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh. You guys you guys gotta look at this on YouTube. Because this doesn't sound real,
Speaker 2:but it is.
Speaker 1:But it and they're individual. It reminds me of, like, If you've ever seen Willy Wonka Yes. At the end and they he goes, press this button to go, yes. Especially though you go anywhere in the factory. That's exactly what it is, but it's like it takes anywhere around town Around town. Or on campus. Town. Around town.
Speaker 2:Around town.
Speaker 1:If you're not Yes. A student. So write it?
Speaker 2:Yes. So if you're a student, it it's free with your student pass. If you're a non student, it costs you fifty cents.
Speaker 1:Why can't we figure out this sort of personalized transit and other place?
Speaker 2:Now we're going to do it apparently in other areas, but didn't for some unknown reason. Now they haven't had an issue with it. Every now and then, it'll go down. Now there is actually people, Josh, that it is open it is only open, like, from six AM to to, you know, eleven thirty PM or whatever. They open it till after midnight if there's one of the college football games on to get people dispersed. But there are one or two actual people who work in the control center in the control room to make sure everything's going smoothly.
Speaker 1:Fascinating.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So yeah. There you go.
Speaker 1:So personal revenue wise, I wanna visit Morganton. Mhmm. One of my favorite people was born there.
Speaker 2:Who? I
Speaker 1:don't know if you're gonna know this person because you're Australian. But the people listening will, especially if they're over fifty years old. No? This is the birthplace of dog nachts.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Do you know the dog nachts? No. It's that. Oh my gosh. Correct.
Speaker 2:I'm guessing.
Speaker 1:If I say party five, Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2:Bonnie Fiff
Speaker 1:from the Andy Griffiths Show.
Speaker 2:Oh, no. You know, oh, Craig.
Speaker 1:No. Oh, god. It's like one of the greatest classic shows of all time. Nippen in the bud. Don Knott's great comedian.
Speaker 2:Oh, I know. Don't know. I'll just I'll just nip him up.
Speaker 1:I just looked at the bubbly, nervous death.
Speaker 2:Yes. Yes. I just looked him up. I didn't know his name, but I recognize Bardi's face.
Speaker 1:Little bit of the bud.
Speaker 2:Yes. There you go. Oh, he was born
Speaker 1:there. He was born there. And you know what? I'm sure he lived there. And, you know, he probably went back to his hometown Mhmm. And in nineteen seventy five Mhmm. He looked at that transition, thought to himself, boy. Am I proud of my town or what?
Speaker 2:Oh, what did he get it in? That's a
Speaker 1:damper thing these days. Well, you're proud of your town.
Speaker 2:I did it. You did. And it wasn't in Uranus. Anyway, Moving on from there. So there you go. If you go on guys, again, have a look at it. Personal Rapid Transit PRT in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Speaker 1:Get on the permit.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Exactly. I mean, I'll be honest, there's lots of kids on there or Yeah. College kids. Yeah. You know? That is what it is. After that, Josh, I was still heading west. I went through Ohio, and I went through Newark, Ohio. The reason why I went through Newark, because that divert slightly. It's because of you, Josh, and you alone. You love
Speaker 1:Tell us.
Speaker 2:Big things. Yeah. This I do was a big thing. This is the world's largest picnic basket, located in Newark, Ohio. And it is an actual office building. It's a real building. Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's a really it's a picnic basket.
Speaker 2:It's an actual picnic basket. The in the in the woven parts of the picnic basket, other windows for the building. So that's what's
Speaker 1:so cool. You gotta look at the pictures. It is the longer burger.
Speaker 2:Yeah. That's one. Baskets.
Speaker 1:Yes. It's a basket company.
Speaker 2:It's a basket company. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And their office is a basket.
Speaker 2:And there you go. So there you go. Yeah. It's One feeling delightful. One feeling
Speaker 1:We might need to put this as next year's roadside attractions. March Madness.
Speaker 2:Oh, my b.
Speaker 1:It looks pretty cool. The fact that it's it's it's not only a big thing, but it's office also a functional office.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:That's pretty unique.
Speaker 3:You're
Speaker 1:probably just I wonder if they're tours.
Speaker 2:No. No tours. That tour is because it's a it's a real business like It's a real office business area.
Speaker 3:It's a
Speaker 1:real basket fan. You're boss. What about your basket
Speaker 2:case? Yeah. How big do
Speaker 1:we have this time? Is it? Did we Okay. Sorry. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Alright. Enough of the basket stuff now because we're gonna move on. We don't want this to go too long.
Speaker 1:How do we finally go to your anus?
Speaker 2:We are. Yes. Now people out there I'm not trying to be dirty. I'm not trying to be vulgar. You know, we used to call the planet before everything we before was what would you call it now? If you're Eurynus. Eurynus. But the actual fact is called Eurynus. And it's being called Eurynus for decades and decades and decades of time. So there is a place, a town called Uranus in Missouri. Okay. An actual physical place called Uranus, and it's in Missouri. It's straight off the highway. They are proud these guys are proud of their channel too.
Speaker 1:They're proud
Speaker 2:of yours. Exactly right. Now there and everything you say about this town, Josh, it creates a giggle. It creates a pun no matter what you say.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I'm sure.
Speaker 2:And so, of course, there's lots of Mondays. There's there's a ventilab there as well, virtual cash. So the the mayor of the town has a big stature shoot for him with a big cowboy hat on, you know, and he's very he's very proud because he's in his red, white, and blues, you know, and this statue ordinarily ordinarily, I don't get to why I say ordinarily. This statue ordinarily would be between, I'm gonna say, thirty foot tall, like it is a big statue. Alright. When we were there, it was probably about twenty five foot tall. Okay. He'd lost his head So he's a headless mayor.
Speaker 1:What?
Speaker 2:Now I went in and I asked why there was no head. Apparently, two or three weeks before we got there, they had tornado go through and the tornado tore his head off. Oh. So the mayor of the united Uranus had his head torn off by tomato. So There you go.
Speaker 3:Wow.
Speaker 2:But there as well, they are very proud because they have the fudge factory, Joe.
Speaker 1:The fudge factory in Uranus.
Speaker 2:They have the best fudges in Uranus. That's what they say. That's one of their Okay. That's one of their slogans.
Speaker 1:I tell me more.
Speaker 2:We've you've gotta go in there, and it's not just a fudge factory, but a little town area as well. So they've got the world's again, another world's largest jet is there, Josh, too. This is not the show notes. I forgot about this. Still
Speaker 1:nailed it.
Speaker 2:The world's largest belt buckle is there. This world's largest belt buckle itself. I'm gonna say hyped wise is gonna be almost ten foot tall, the world's largest belt buckle, cowboy belt buckle. So, yeah, there you go. It's in Uranus, Missouri. So it's got it's got a little police station there as well. And, yes, they they vowed to declare to serve and protect Uranus. You know. So that's what they do.
Speaker 1:Wanna do
Speaker 2:it. Exactly right. That's what they say. You walk into the fudge factory, Josh. And as you walk in, you know, Josh, you remember walking into buggies? What did you hear? As soon as you walk into buggies, what did they say?
Speaker 1:Welcome to buggies.
Speaker 2:What did they say he?
Speaker 1:Welcome to your readers.
Speaker 2:Yes. Says you will hear that. And they're excited.
Speaker 1:Like, what did you look behind you? Like, oh, what?
Speaker 2:It it says on the door, like, you know, entering Uranus. In the door and then exit Uranus on the other door. You go in and and you see you see all these, like, the stickers are there Yes. Merchants there, the shirts are there. Some of these shirts now. I'm gonna I'm not gonna set all of them.
Speaker 1:If you wanna look at the shirt if
Speaker 2:you wanna look at the shirt, some of them go too far for even for me to a certain degree. Yeah. But things like the Uranus the Uranus brake brake repair clinic. Okay. And it talks about don't leave skid marks around uranium.
Speaker 1:You would want that.
Speaker 2:No. Not at all. No at all. And then, of course, they've got the Uranus Dental and Proctology Clinic as well. So
Speaker 1:Oh, this is just perfect for a twelve year old.
Speaker 2:Exactly. But for a
Speaker 1:twelve year old who were One
Speaker 2:of the best parts as well is that the staff members there are very are very, very quick with a quick, quick word. Obviously, they they do daily, Josh. They're they're every sound.
Speaker 1:They they can bet
Speaker 2:they know it. They know the puns. They know what works. And then as you leave, if you buy something, they yell out at you, thanks for picking your anus. So it's just it's ongoing. It is a place Oh. It is a place where you need to again, this may for me, this may be a much madness next year you're just saying.
Speaker 1:Yes. And it's it's on Route sixty six.
Speaker 2:Yes. It is. On Route sixty six. And
Speaker 1:I think a couple weeks ago, maybe a month ago, our friend Valerie. From silly America, she made a road trip there because she wanted to go to the fudge eating contest. Yes. Every year they have a FUDGED contest at at You can wear this.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. And I will say this is the best
Speaker 1:place to have it.
Speaker 2:It is delicious FUDG to a lot of that sure. Yeah. Yeah. And lots of different flavor fudge comes through, not just the chocolate stuff. So
Speaker 1:This is a must visit. Yes. I need to get
Speaker 2:to Yep. Visit
Speaker 1:Mhmm. To meet us.
Speaker 2:Yep. See, even you You can't
Speaker 1:you can't even help it. You can't help
Speaker 2:you can't. It just it's what comes out of your mouth. You know, that sort of thing. So it is what it is. Alright. Moving on from that sort of level of humor because we all love it.
Speaker 1:Let's move on.
Speaker 2:Let's move on. I went slightly south. Now, people have been asking me on on different, like, onesie people on South St. Cray, what did you you kind of went south before you went north, straight north. What did you do there for? Josh, one reason? One reason, only. Why? Had to go, well, you were you and I were in Alabama with Timur. You come inside a boy Tim, and we had bread chucked at our heads.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes.
Speaker 2:At Labatt's Cafe, it was such an Alabama,
Speaker 1:the home of the third road road.
Speaker 2:Yes. They have two other A restaurant, Josh.
Speaker 1:It's a chain.
Speaker 2:It's a chain. Three chain. Three in this chain. And the the most northern one I could find was in the Ozark. Near Springfield. Wow. And it's called Lambert's Cafe exactly the same Ozark Springfield Road Rolls, Josh It is just as good as Alabama. It's exactly the same. It's exactly the same.
Speaker 1:Now De Bezia.
Speaker 2:Busy. I'll just say, Busy. Are they
Speaker 1:having more of a touristy?
Speaker 2:I don't think so.
Speaker 3:No. No.
Speaker 1:No. The golf show is pretty touristy, but maybe it's the time we went.
Speaker 2:But Tomy yeah. Exactly. I was gonna say that Tomy went they have three full areas to eat. You know, you wait, you put your name down and they say twenty minute wait, and you're like, Everyone's sitting around all the front, all the parking lot, and and buses pull up with, you know, kids coming out on road trips and stuff as well. So it is busy, but it is so so worth it.
Speaker 1:So I have to ask a question. Mhmm. When we went to Lambert in Alabama Yeah. We had a gentleman that literally threw the room across the entire room. I'd say it was about forty to forty feet, maybe fifty feet. Yeah. I saw a video. You sent me a video. It was like a kid. Like, probably a fourteen year old kid, and he just, like, underhanded it Exactly. Not as far.
Speaker 2:That's that's gonna say to me the only difference that I found between Alabama and this one. Food was delicious. Rolls Rolls were to die for. If you're a bread fan, oh my goodness. Wow.
Speaker 1:Get those carbs.
Speaker 2:And it's and it was still warm, delicious, you know. They're like a muffin because they bit they're baking like a muffin tray, so they got that real small bottom up in a puffy top.
Speaker 1:Wow. Stop because I'm getting a hungry trip.
Speaker 2:I know. Right. I know. So there you go. So I went to Lambert's Cafe, and that's the reason why I went south.
Speaker 1:Just for that. Just for that. Just for the to get a roll pro at you.
Speaker 2:Yeah. That's what it was.
Speaker 1:I was
Speaker 2:gonna raise
Speaker 1:that. Exactly.
Speaker 2:So he's not we And this is the thing, Josh. Not all our travels is based around our love of outdoor games, but also my love of food. Alright. I went north after this. Going north, we're gonna talk about Maslene, Ohio. I think that's why you pronounce it Maslene. How would you pronounce that?
Speaker 1:Barcelona. Barcelona.
Speaker 2:Barcelona. Barcelona, Ohio.
Speaker 3:I don't
Speaker 1:know. Barcelona. I don't know. Again, let's say, Barcelona. Marceline. Marceline. Marceline. Marceline is at the end of it.
Speaker 2:It is Marceline, m a I c e l.
Speaker 1:Now this can't be an order because you were you were in Missouri, then you're talking about Ohio. So this is just oh, right?
Speaker 2:No. That's true. In order?
Speaker 1:No. Because it shouldn't have been Ohio. Are you sure it wasn't Missouri?
Speaker 2:Mine in Missouri. Oh, it was Missouri.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Sorry. That's my fault. Yes. Missouri, Marceline, Missouri, my fault, my bad. See, I'm so busy, Josh. I think I
Speaker 1:was in it just didn't make sense.
Speaker 2:So I just don't
Speaker 3:know what
Speaker 1:to do, you know, as fact checking.
Speaker 2:Fair enough. Fair enough.
Speaker 1:Then it just shows I'm paying attention.
Speaker 2:Now the reason why I was there anyway, again, was a part of the Cash Across America series. You see?
Speaker 1:Cash Across America. Missouri.
Speaker 2:Missouri. Yes. Miss it is it was Missouri. Yes. Yeah. There you go. Wow. But this we're saying before about the Cash Coast America series, how they're in all series. Sometimes it's, you know, a nice big hike area
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Good containers. Woods. This one here, it was a little bit of a walk.
Speaker 1:K? But
Speaker 2:it was more about the location in which it was. So it was you park at the front, there's full park in there, all free. Everything we're gonna say from here on here is free. Clushing nothing.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:Nothing but your time. Cool. You park at the front. You then walk towards the sort of, you know, a nice nature trail area. This nature trail beautifully kept nature trail. K. Gorgeously kept nature. There's signs leading up as through the park. The signs talk about Walt Disney. And they talk about Walt Disney as a child. And each sign as you go through basically is each not generation, but each sort of year of his childhood.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And it goes up to the point where you cross nice little bridge because up to a point where the sign tells you about how he used to Josh his first time ever, first time ever, he I think he's a ten cents per person for his neighbors. He charged for them to come into a barn where he had dressed up his cat His dog, he had an awkward looking donkey Uh-huh. And some chickens. Okay. And he put on a show.
Speaker 1:Of course, he did.
Speaker 2:Those those people that were there? Dude, they didn't like it. His mother then insisted that he give the money back, refund the money, and always said to him and this instilled in him for the rest of his life and that is you give them more value than what you charge. Always give them more value
Speaker 1:to him
Speaker 2:what you charge. So that came from his mother. Yeah. Meanwhile, Behind that sign, Josh. Behind that exact sign is the barn. It gets better.
Speaker 1:Okay?
Speaker 2:The bun, you can walk in. Really? It's open. It's freed. You then There's sharpies. Around the barn. Yes.
Speaker 3:You know,
Speaker 2:it's a gravel floor. The shop is around the barn
Speaker 1:side of the barn.
Speaker 2:You can saw in the barn. You can saw it with you. Individual. No. It should be.
Speaker 1:I know. How do you lots of logging required?
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely. It's not a virtual. The only thing there is the Cash CrossAmerica Cash, which is actually just side, but it takes you to the barn. I spent more time in the barn looking around doing some video work. Sure. Stuff as well. Then what I did actually at the cat.
Speaker 1:So okay. This is Walt Disney's family farm. Is this his hometown? I mean, the Honestly, he grew up here.
Speaker 2:Yes. This is farm. Before And then what he Was he
Speaker 1:born there? Was he born in Missouri? I gotta look that up. We don't think
Speaker 2:you look that up. Meanwhile, what he did was when he moved to California, when he became an adult and he moved to California, he got a barn built exactly the same on his property in California because his memories of that barn. And it's the same barn that I walked into personally.
Speaker 1:That's it.
Speaker 2:So if you're If you're a Walt Disney fan, Maslin in Missouri is a place to go in case you're wondering. Mhmm.
Speaker 1:This was must've been a boyhood home because he was born in Chicago.
Speaker 2:Oh, there you go.
Speaker 1:Fun fact.
Speaker 2:It was it was boyhood home
Speaker 1:in nineteen o one. Mhmm. Well, that's cool. Well, I mean, if you're a Disney fan, like, if you're you're deep in Yep. That's that would be a really cool place to visit.
Speaker 2:Yep. Yep. So And again,
Speaker 1:it was cash across America that brought you there. That's what this broadcast is about.
Speaker 2:There you
Speaker 1:go. Would you have visited there or maybe even known about it if it wasn't for geocaching?
Speaker 2:No. Nuggable. Boom.
Speaker 1:Another win for George.
Speaker 2:Exactly right. So meanwhile, Josh, there is a couple of Mondays there as well that will guide you as well. So anyway,
Speaker 1:of course.
Speaker 2:But what blew me away, Josh, was the fact that number one, it's all free. It's free to park in there, beautiful area, and it's all managed by the the love of Walt Disney from the town folk. So there's a there's a committee there that keep it up to date as well. Obviously, your name is not gonna be on the the walls because it was Josh, I'm telling you, every wall, every what do you call them? Every inch of every
Speaker 1:There's mavaster.
Speaker 2:There's some there's some, like, wine barrels in there. Well, even the barrels were done Yeah. You know, that's something so. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's fascinating. His mom said never charge more than what you value you bring.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Right.
Speaker 3:Do
Speaker 1:you think they still live by that because let's be real. We'll take us to take us to get it to Walt Disney from one day. Last time I was there was a hundred and eighty dollars. For one person for one day.
Speaker 2:It's a he's not alive anymore. So it's it can't be. It's some it's a board now. It's
Speaker 1:Well, you know, you know, they're still honored. No. I don't know. Well, I I'll just
Speaker 2:add this.
Speaker 1:I I've been involved in this world park Mhmm.
Speaker 3:For
Speaker 1:almost four years in a row, I go down there every year. Oh, you did.
Speaker 2:So Yeah. You do.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't go back. I wouldn't pay it if it wasn't worth it.
Speaker 2:This is true. So it must be worth it.
Speaker 1:That's like That's like the galaxy's edge. That was awesome. Yeah. Of course. Exactly. Okay.
Speaker 2:And then, Josh, this is This
Speaker 1:is cool. I've been here.
Speaker 2:You've been this one.
Speaker 1:Why I told you to go there?
Speaker 2:Yeah. You did. So I was in an area called Masons Mason City. Sorry. Mason City City in Iowa. And you said to me, Craig, do you see this place? It's the where Buddy Holly crash site. Yeah. It's way to use it in time.
Speaker 1:It's way to use it in
Speaker 2:time. It's way to use it in time.
Speaker 1:The Don Macleade song Yeah. Which is all about Buddy Holly.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:Ricky Mallon's Mhmm. The Big Bopper Mhmm. February nineteen fifty something fifty late fifties, winter storm. They wanted
Speaker 2:they were
Speaker 1:I think they were flying up. This is just pure off memory. I don't like that. They were flying up the Minnesota eyeballs. Yeah. Yeah. And they took off, and they crashed in the winter in in the middle of an Iowa cornfield.
Speaker 2:But you did you know that that decision was only made that afternoon? They were gonna, like, keep on back on the bus. And Buddy said, no. We don't wanna go in the bus anymore.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I know. Yeah. He have, like, a friend
Speaker 2:that Yeah.
Speaker 1:That he because he was, like, you you know, you can get to your you get to this destination faster
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:To the flights. So some people, I believe, like, Eddie Cochrane Mhmm. Who's saying that there ain't no cure for the sobriety tale of Blue. That song? Yeah. He took the bus. Yeah. He lived. Yeah. So Yep. Yeah. It's so sad. Buddy Holl, I mean, the unit's prime Mhmm. Bitchy ballads if you ever seen the movie La Bamba.
Speaker 2:Yes. I
Speaker 1:mean, with Lou Diamond Phillips, great movie by the way. Oh, you haven't seen that movie for a while.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But the kid was
Speaker 1:a he was a teenager. Oh, he was, like, barely eighteen or nineteen.
Speaker 2:Ten years old. He was he was either before. He was ahead of his time too with his music.
Speaker 1:Oh, he's
Speaker 2:ahead of his well ahead of his time. So that's that's the area. So you told me to go to this place. And again, I I looked and went, oh my goodness. I have to go to this place as well. It's just outside. So it's just a little bit west Yes. Of Mason City because obviously they they took off. But the best thing about this place, Josh, is that they crash and died in a cornfield
Speaker 1:Yes. In the
Speaker 2:middle of a cornfield.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Right? How would you normally go well, you know, there's obviously there is. There's a big set of glasses on the road.
Speaker 1:Buddy Holly Glass.
Speaker 2:Buddy Holly Glass. Big. They're big.
Speaker 1:It's a big thing.
Speaker 2:Big. It's a big thing. The Buddy Holly Glass is a big thing. And there's a a tribute there as well. So you can go there. That's that's okay. But just some people go, you know what? I actually wanna go to the site. Right. The site's on private property.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because it's on a farm
Speaker 1:a farmer's property. Yeah.
Speaker 2:This farmer he allows not only does he allow people to walk down the actual side of the or through the property at a long fence line. Right. But he mows that area
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2:And it's cool. And I and I said, I thought myself as well, this guy is actually losing out on actual farmland because he mows like six foot He could have another six foot and so like another mile almost.
Speaker 1:It's like the real life it's like the real life field dreams.
Speaker 2:Yes. Yeah. If you build we did comment. And so, you know, you can walk along and you can then walk to the actual shrine of where it crashed, you know. And they've got what I liked as well. They've got a really nice area there for the three of them with the three records as well that they died. But then off the side as well. People forget about off to the side. They got nice little silver wings memorial Yes. For the island. And I thought to myself, wow, that's interesting. Because everyone thinks that it's just gonna be the three actual stars, but no. Another life was lost, and that was the life of the pilot. So he's memorialized too with a nice set of silver wings. Off to the sides are not part of the the the group. You know what I mean? The the music died, the stars, but he's still memorialized off to the site, which is what I liked as well. That was cool. That was really cool.
Speaker 1:So, of course Mhmm. There is a virtual there of
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Pass crash site.
Speaker 2:Yep. There is.
Speaker 1:And it's called Holly Schreid. Yes. Not holy Schreid.
Speaker 2:No. Holly Schreid.
Speaker 1:Holly Schreid.
Speaker 2:Exactly right.
Speaker 1:G c six seven eight zero. It's pretty old. It's like it's before I started cashing. Let me see. It was hidden in two thousand two. So it's an old
Speaker 2:it's an oldie. And at the same time, this is one of those good I I call them good virtuals whereby all you have to do is take a photo. Yes. No answers. Not questions. It's just taking time.
Speaker 1:People visit this from all over the world. They do.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And if you had time Mhmm.
Speaker 1:I have not done this ever before, but I want to. The Clear Lake ballroom is where they perform their final show.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's like It's a historic menu, and they've kept it up. Mhmm. And they still have performances and shows. Wow. So but and then I think it's side, it's almost like a kind of a museum too, like buddy Holly at all. Mhmm. So the other which I think also is a virtual too.
Speaker 2:Oh, the And Mhmm.
Speaker 1:Think you were gonna mention this.
Speaker 2:I was.
Speaker 1:I need okay. Go ahead. I did see this. Yeah. Which means I need to visit again.
Speaker 2:Go ahead. No. You tell You need to yeah. You didn't visit again though because at the front of the walk area as well, they've now got a traditional cash. And the traditional cash is called Peggy Sue. So that's really good.
Speaker 1:And it's I'll resist myself.
Speaker 2:It's it's nice. It's nice. It's just a little bison tube, you know, that's but it's nice. It's a start. It's an energy traditional cash. But that I find the best part about the whole thing is across the road. Again, on private farmers' private land, they have put out a parking area for people to go, so they staff their road. They can park it. I mean, it's it's dirt road, Josh. Either way, it's dirt road. Dirt road everywhere
Speaker 1:here. Right.
Speaker 2:It's farmland. But there's a they've made a little parking lot for everyone there, and it's got like a little picnic table there. So if you wanna have a little breast for yourself, but they have a board that goes up. Now, obviously, this board that goes up and then there's a a pole that goes up with a big guitar that lights up at night. On reality, yes, this guitar lights up at night on top of the actual pole. There's a board, and on the board, I do three d printed. Plastic guitars. Now the main part of the guitar is actually a glow in the dark, pick guitar pick. So you can use it as a good topic.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? People or
Speaker 2:They say they say, you know, with donation. Yeah. So but they're on a board. No one's around. So what if it does what if it does It's an honor system. Yeah. Exactly right. It's an honor system. So that was that's to me, that was one of the parts that I thought to myself, well, not only these farmers, losing money by by their property lines and also the parking area. But here they are now they're doing this as well for too. So that's that's really cool.
Speaker 1:And Mhmm. Another reason I have to visit again is that there's a five stage of veg Oh,
Speaker 2:there is you could get five
Speaker 1:more finds. So if you visited the site, you could get a total of seven finds. Yeah. Yeah. And see a really cool place.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That people come from all over the world to
Speaker 2:see. Yep. So you get seven you can get seven of the jet caching finds. And of course, there's manzy virtuals all the way along. Popped as
Speaker 1:far as full series. Another way is it.
Speaker 2:Always is, Mike.
Speaker 1:Oh, well, that's a great highlight. I can't believe, you know, we've never talked we've talked about a lot about secret Iowa. Mhmm. And when we had our friend Megan, Olio, Olio in Iowa. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Here you go.
Speaker 1:I don't think we talked We can't remember.
Speaker 2:We didn't think we talked about this.
Speaker 1:This is a good this is a good Yeah. Hit jump.
Speaker 2:But then after this area, and this is on the show notes because of the cut down. After this, just to let everyone know, they probably heard it on the last episode as well. Yes. I'd booked in an area where I was gonna stay the night. Now Josh messaged me a couple of hours after I'd made my booking and he said, where are you gonna stay and are tolling the town? Josh, the town was?
Speaker 1:Fairmont. Minnesota.
Speaker 2:And you were like, oh my goodness. Are you really? Are you serious? I said yes. And I said, why is he? You said, I'm gonna be there too.
Speaker 1:You're, like, you're probably, like, what?
Speaker 2:I was I was, like, stole a lot. Yeah. You're just gonna buy
Speaker 1:it down.
Speaker 2:And then now you guys You're, like, I'm coming
Speaker 1:up to Minneapolis Exactly. Like, can't you wait?
Speaker 2:You can't wait. But but no, you were there for work, for your for real work purposes. But the best part is Yes. That's your hometown.
Speaker 1:It's my hometown.
Speaker 2:Yes. And you're proud of you.
Speaker 1:I'm so proud of my hometown. You you know, I I even made you drive by my old my childhood home. Yeah. Yeah. And I and I pointed at it. Yeah. It sounds like it's right there.
Speaker 3:Like Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like you really cared. But you you saw where it all.
Speaker 2:Okay. Yeah. I got a question for you. A question for the for the listeners actually. What Disney, childhood band, and Joshua Johnson, childhood time.
Speaker 1:That should make a threshold there is something. Now, what do you think of my hometown? Like, we had together at the channel in
Speaker 2:Yes. Yes.
Speaker 1:Which was right on the lake. So it's Fairmont, Minnesota is a it's in the middle of Southern Minnesota Yeah. Which is just far pretty much farmland.
Speaker 2:Last time, Josh, I was here in Minnesota and Minneapolis with you, you gave me the juicy Lucy, you gave me the juicy see the burger with the cheese injected meat, you know, classic. Here at this place though, you gave me something else. You gave me something Salty.
Speaker 1:It was called the sweet burger. You got the S and S burger.
Speaker 2:I got the S and S burger,
Speaker 1:which is similar to the sweet burger. But the sweet burger, I'm just a huge fan of green olives. Controversial, I know. Very I'd be able I think green olives are one of those things that eat people either love them or they hate them. I don't know anybody that's like, because
Speaker 2:now we believe
Speaker 1:they're okay. I think most people are like, oh my god. Green olives are so good. Yeah. Green olives are gross. Yep. Yep. This is a a green a a burger with Swiss cheese covered. You can't even see the cheese or the burger covered with green olives. Yeah. And it's so salty. Yeah. And tell them what you have.
Speaker 2:Mom was almost exactly the same excepted. Had probably, I'm gonna say, three quarters of the amount of olives, not the all of the olives. And the other part of it though was the sautéed mushrooms. And the reason why I have
Speaker 1:it because
Speaker 2:This is because I'm a fun guy, I'd just say. Anyway, but but yeah. So we had that burger. At your little area. Yeah. We drove up. And I'm talking, we drove. We only drove because we were going somewhere else. We drove up. I'm gonna say, Josh. Forget me if I'm wrong, but it's gonna be fifteen blocks of land, like fifteen houses, and then that's what you all
Speaker 1:Yeah. It was right there.
Speaker 2:You're right there.
Speaker 1:I was kind of I wasn't on the lake, but I was across the street for
Speaker 2:the lake. Exactly. Now this area is is got he made, like, one, two, five, five likes to do, like
Speaker 1:And they all are connected. Yeah. So if you have a I grew up here. If you had a boat, like, you would just cruise around on two
Speaker 2:lakes, and you'd go out of skiing. You can go underneath the the the bridges the bridges where the
Speaker 1:Yeah. It's cool.
Speaker 2:It was it was a really nice place. It was and to me, Josh, because this time of year, obviously, no snow It it it bubbles my mind still thinking about how green and lush the feces.
Speaker 1:And then it's like
Speaker 2:And then it's dry. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Not this year.
Speaker 2:It's all it's all white. In winter, Mike, how can that be?
Speaker 1:You know? Well, then there's there's ice houses on all these lakes. It's like a little village out there.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing.
Speaker 1:It was fun to have you in my hometown.
Speaker 2:And then then Josh says, well, let's not finish here. I've got another place we can go to, but I don't know if you're gonna like or not. It's a dive bar, my guess. Take me. Take me take me there. And we did. We went to your your childhood dive bar,
Speaker 1:which is kinda weird to say
Speaker 2:it is. But it's a it's a what would you classify it as? It's like a timber nook area.
Speaker 1:Yeah. It it was kinda downtown. Mhmm. And when I say it's my childhood far is the place where my parents, like, hung out after a long day at work.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Roughly.
Speaker 1:And it changed a little bit because, you know, the law is about smoking changes. So it wasn't it wasn't smoking?
Speaker 2:Nope.
Speaker 1:Yeah. We we enjoyed our time there. Mhmm. And I think we we walk it there. It was, like, silent. It was, like, walking into a library. Did it feel like it was, like, whoa. There wasn't a TV on? No. There wasn't any music play.
Speaker 2:No one really talking.
Speaker 1:There's nobody really talking.
Speaker 2:There's like six or seven people there.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Maybe three or four.
Speaker 2:Three or four.
