  1. 0:02There we go.
  2. 0:09>> [laughter]
  3. 0:10>> That was neat.
  4. 0:11>> Yeah, that was neat.
  5. 0:13>> [music]

  8. 0:33[music]
  9. 0:37>> Hey guys, Metal Jesus here and I'm on
  10. 0:40the road again. This time I'm taking my
  11. 0:42buddy Drunken Master Paul on an epic
  12. 0:45road trip to parts of Washington state I
  13. 0:49have never been.
  14. 0:50This is going to be 5 days of retro game
  15. 0:53hunting. We're going to be exploring
  16. 0:55abandoned coastal forts. We're going to
  17. 0:58be cruising probably too fast in
  18. 1:01rain-soaked highways and we're going to
  19. 1:03be staying in small towns with stunning
  20. 1:06views.
  21. 1:08Including a little town that played a
  22. 1:10major role in the 1990s grunge movement.
  23. 1:14Probably you've heard of this band
  24. 1:16before.
  25. 1:18Plus at the end of the trip I'll share
  26. 1:19everything we picked up along the way.
  27. 1:21So, buckle up and let's hit the road.
  28. 1:25>> [music]
  29. 1:34[music]
  30. 1:42>> Now, before we get started I feel like
  31. 1:44an explanation is in order because
  32. 1:46everywhere Paul takes his vehicle,
  33. 1:49everybody wants to know what the heck
  34. 1:51this is.
  35. 1:53He calls it the Bin Chicken and this is
  36. 1:55a 2008 Dodge Charger that DMP
  37. 1:57transformed into an Australian ute style
  38. 2:01truck. Kind of think of it like an El
  39. 2:03Camino.
  40. 2:05It took him about a year to build and
  41. 2:07considering this is his first time doing
  42. 2:08anything like this, it turned out pretty
  43. 2:11purple.
  44. 2:12And it's named after an Australian bird
  45. 2:15that Aussies nickname a bin chicken
  46. 2:18because they're I guess they're trash
  47. 2:20scavengers and you know, Paul just
  48. 2:22thought that was pretty cool.
  49. 2:24>> One reason I'm super excited about this
  50. 2:25trip, besides just hanging out with my
  51. 2:27buddy, is [music] this is the very first
  52. 2:29time I've taken Betty Bin Chicken out in
  53. 2:31the rain. And why is that? Is she
  54. 2:33precious? No, no. She's a bin chicken.
  55. 2:37I finally fixed all the leaks, I think.
  56. 2:39So, we're taking it out in the rain and
  57. 2:41once we do this, then I can take it out
  58. 2:42anytime I want. But we're going to find
  59. 2:45out. I'm saying it's going to have three
  60. 2:46leaks.
  61. 2:47>> [music]
  62. 2:48>> Three leaks by the end of the the trip,
  63. 2:49but we'll find out. She's getting wet.
  64. 2:52>> Now you guys know I've done several
  65. 2:54travel videos over the years in
  66. 2:56Washington state where I live, but never
  67. 2:58on the most western side. As most of you
  68. 3:02know, I live in the Seattle area, which
  69. 3:03is where most of the population lives
  70. 3:06kind of up and down Interstate 5, which
  71. 3:09is what's called Puget Sound.
  72. 3:12However, there's a massive section of
  73. 3:13our state between Puget Sound and the
  74. 3:15Pacific Ocean that is sprinkled with a
  75. 3:18lot of little towns to explore and there
  76. 3:20is a massive rainforest and national
  77. 3:23park there.
  78. 3:25And all along the way there are little
  79. 3:27video game stores for us to plunder. Oh,
  80. 3:30yes.
  81. 3:31So, we're going to start this trip by
  82. 3:33hopping on the Edmonds ferry and taking
  83. 3:35that over to Kingston. Now this is a fun
  84. 3:38little 20-minute ride across the water.
  85. 3:41It's just enough time to park your car
  86. 3:43and then go up above and kind of hang
  87. 3:45out and look at the views. One thing
  88. 3:48that's new, I hadn't seen this before,
  89. 3:49is that somebody spread out a bunch of
  90. 3:52puzzles across all of the tables up
  91. 3:54there
  92. 3:55where anybody could go and just sit down
  93. 3:57and help solve that puzzle throughout
  94. 3:59the day. Again, I thought that was
  95. 4:01pretty cool, pretty unexpected, kind of
  96. 4:03fun. And as you can see here, it's
  97. 4:06pretty cloudy out. There's a little bit
  98. 4:08of rain drizzle, but nothing too bad.
  99. 4:11And I always tell everyone that comes to
  100. 4:13this area that the Washington State
  101. 4:14Ferry system is a great introduction to
  102. 4:17traveling around Puget Sound [music]
  103. 4:20if you get the chance. Plus, it's just
  104. 4:22neat to drive your car onto a big old
  105. 4:24boat, you know? That's such a cool part
  106. 4:27of living in this area. It's way way
  107. 4:31quicker than trying to drive around to
  108. 4:34get some of these places on the
  109. 4:35freeways.
  110. 4:36You know, you pay, I don't know, it's
  111. 4:37like 15, 20 dollars or something like
  112. 4:39that to get on the ferry, save yourself
  113. 4:41a ton of time, and the views are
  114. 4:43excellent. Once we are off the ferries,
  115. 4:46we are sprinting down to Silverdale to
  116. 4:49check out a gaming store that I've been
  117. 4:51meaning to visit for several years now.
  118. 4:53Actually, the owner of this place,
  119. 4:55he goes to a bunch of the local expos in
  120. 4:58our area. So, I've bumped into him, you
  121. 5:00know, several times over the years. He's
  122. 5:02been like, "Hey, dude, if you ever get
  123. 5:03over onto the peninsula, you got to
  124. 5:05check out my store." Well, today is that
  125. 5:07day.
  126. 5:08Now, what's interesting about Silverdale
  127. 5:10is that it's technically not even a
  128. 5:11city. They keep trying to vote to
  129. 5:14incorporate it and make it official, but
  130. 5:17it keeps losing the popular vote. So, it
  131. 5:20stays an unincorporated county, or I
  132. 5:24guess they call it a census-designated
  133. 5:26place,
  134. 5:28but not a city, which is pretty funny
  135. 5:29because they have over 20,000 people
  136. 5:31living there,
  137. 5:33but they don't want to be called a city
  138. 5:34just yet. It probably has something to
  139. 5:35do with taxes or something. I have no
  140. 5:37idea, but that's pretty wild, right?
  141. 5:39>> You prepared for video games, dude?
  142. 5:42>> I am always prepared for video games,
  143. 5:44especially in lovely Silverdale, which
  144. 5:47the sky matches the name, apparently.
  145. 5:49They shipped this in right for us.
  146. 5:50That's great.
  147. 5:52But now that we're here, we are rolling
  148. 5:53into Big Red's Retro Games. And as you
  149. 5:56can see here, this is just jam-packed
  150. 5:58with everything you would expect and
  151. 6:00want from a retro gaming store.
  152. 6:03And really, I think it's the only true
  153. 6:06gaming store in the area. So, they get a
  154. 6:09lot of really cool trade-ins.
  155. 6:12The first one that caught my eye is this
  156. 6:1320th anniversary PlayStation 4, new
  157. 6:17in the box. This is something that you
  158. 6:20don't see every day, and a lot of
  159. 6:23people, myself included, wanted to get
  160. 6:25one of these when they first came out,
  161. 6:28and they were high in demand. Now, the
  162. 6:30crazy thing about this one is that they
  163. 6:32even have the original shipping box.
  164. 6:36Yeah, to say this is very hard to find
  165. 6:38is an understatement, and honestly, this
  166. 6:40probably would go for thousands of
  167. 6:42dollars online. They have it here
  168. 6:44sitting in their store.
  169. 6:46>> Oh, no. See, this is the stuff I'm such
  170. 6:49a sucker for.
  171. 6:51>> Walking around their store in the back
  172. 6:53was a little bit of a surprise. They
  173. 6:54have this area set up where you can hang
  174. 6:56out and play games. Or, you could watch
  175. 6:59a a movie, like a VHS movie from your
  176. 7:02childhood. Paul was like, "Ooh." He
  177. 7:05started digging through that. He's like
  178. 7:06He's like, "Oh, yeah." He He could see
  179. 7:08himself hanging out there for hours.
  180. 7:13You're not impressed?
  181. 7:14>> No.
  182. 7:15>> [laughter]
  183. 7:15>> Of course she's not impressed. She's my
  184. 7:17roommate.
  185. 7:19>> They actually look like they fit your
  186. 7:20head pretty similarly.
  187. 7:21>> Yeah. Now, are you impressed?
  188. 7:23>> I am impressed.
  189. 7:24>> See? There you go.
  190. 7:25>> Jazzy right there.
  191. 7:25>> Upgrade.
  192. 7:26>> [laughter]
  193. 7:27>> Jazzy.
  194. 7:29>> Another thing I noticed that they have a
  195. 7:30really solid classic Atari selection
  196. 7:32here. You'll find, you know, loose
  197. 7:35cartridges out and about, but never
  198. 7:37really this many in-box Atari games. So,
  199. 7:41that was pretty neat to see. And
  200. 7:43speaking of stuff in boxes, they have a
  201. 7:45boxed Sega Nomad. Again, something that
  202. 7:49I don't see very often. They also had a
  203. 7:51boxed TurboGrafx-16,
  204. 7:54as well as a couple other classic
  205. 7:55consoles, again in the box. So, if
  206. 7:59you're looking for that type of thing,
  207. 8:00you may want to swing by here.
  208. 8:02Now, if you've ever looked at your game
  209. 8:04collection and thought, "Oh, man, I need
  210. 8:06a system." You're not alone. People
  211. 8:09always ask what I use to catalog
  212. 8:10everything, and honestly, it's the CLZ
  213. 8:13Games app. They're sponsoring this
  214. 8:15video, but full transparency, I've been
  215. 8:17using it for many years now. What I love
  216. 8:20most about it is how smooth it feels.
  217. 8:22There's no clutter, there's no
  218. 8:23confusion. You just open it up and
  219. 8:26you're in control of your entire
  220. 8:27collection. One of my favorite features
  221. 8:30is the barcode scanner. So, say you're
  222. 8:32standing in the game store and you spot
  223. 8:34something interesting, scan it, boom,
  224. 8:36and you instantly see the values for
  225. 8:38loose, complete, or sealed copies, and
  226. 8:41even graded copies. It's basically like
  227. 8:44having a pocket-size game database.
  228. 8:47And speaking of databases, it's deep.
  229. 8:50You guys know I collect some pretty
  230. 8:51obscure stuff, including imports, and
  231. 8:53CLZ consistently recognizes games other
  232. 8:56apps miss. It also auto-fills everything
  233. 8:59from the cover art, release dates,
  234. 9:01publishers, even descriptions and
  235. 9:02trailers. Plus, you can personalize your
  236. 9:05collection with purchase information,
  237. 9:07notes, ratings, you know, all those
  238. 9:09nerdy details that we actually care
  239. 9:11about. So, if you want to get your
  240. 9:12collection organized, check out CLZ
  241. 9:14Games at the URL on the screen, or just
  242. 9:17search for CLZ on your app store. I'll
  243. 9:21also drop a link in the video
  244. 9:22description below, and I want to thank
  245. 9:24them for sponsoring this video. Recently
  246. 9:26on my channel, I did a video where I
  247. 9:28showed all of my PlayStation handhelds,
  248. 9:30my PSP, my Vita, stuff like that. So,
  249. 9:32I'm very aware that some of those
  250. 9:34original batteries have died, or
  251. 9:37sometimes even swelled up and are
  252. 9:39getting dangerous. So, I love it when
  253. 9:41stores like this have lots and lots of
  254. 9:43third-party battery replacements. That's
  255. 9:47a good thing. I always appreciate seeing
  256. 9:48these because it helps keeps those
  257. 9:51handhelds running for years to come.
  258. 9:54Anybody looking for those Burger King
  259. 9:56Xbox 360 games? Every once in a while
  260. 9:59I'll see these and uh they always make
  261. 10:01me laugh.
  262. 10:06>> [screaming]
  263. 10:08>> Down here I spot a copy of Car Battler
  264. 10:10Joe in the box for the Game Boy Advance
  265. 10:13and I'm going to say it, total hidden
  266. 10:14gem, man. Anybody looking for a loose
  267. 10:18Sega CDX? Just sitting here on the shelf
  268. 10:21ready to uh to find a good home. I
  269. 10:23already have one, but this is one of my
  270. 10:25favorite Sega Genesis / Sega CDs.
  271. 10:30I thought this was kind of interesting.
  272. 10:31So, this is a Resident Evil or Biohazard
  273. 10:34as it's called in Japan, but I'm not
  274. 10:37entirely sure what it is. It sort of
  275. 10:38looks like a press kit maybe. Not
  276. 10:41entirely sure. So, if you know what this
  277. 10:43is, please let me know down in the
  278. 10:44comments. And so, we kept walking around
  279. 10:46here checking everything out. There was
  280. 10:47a lot packed into this store and like I
  281. 10:50said, because it's the only major retro
  282. 10:53gaming store in the area, they get a lot
  283. 10:55of stuff all the time. So, if you live
  284. 10:58in the Silverdale area and you are into
  285. 11:01video games, you might want to check
  286. 11:02this place out because I suspect that
  287. 11:05there is always something cool to
  288. 11:06discover here.
  289. 11:08All right, leaving the retro gaming
  290. 11:09store, we briefly swung by the US Naval
  291. 11:13Undersea Museum. All right, this is the
  292. 11:16Naval Undersea Museum here in Kitsap, uh
  293. 11:19excuse me, in Keyport, which is really
  294. 11:21close to Silverdale. And it's a museum
  295. 11:23dedicated to basically underwater
  296. 11:25um submersibles and exploration uh
  297. 11:28through the Navy. And cool thing I is
  298. 11:31that it has all these actual subs out
  299. 11:33here like it has the Trieste II and the
  300. 11:34Mystic from from October and a big sale
  301. 11:38from another submarine. It's really
  302. 11:40cool. It's a small museum, but you can
  303. 11:41see all kind of if you're into
  304. 11:42underwater stuff like me, you're going
  305. 11:44to dig this. So, it's definitely worth a
  306. 11:45stop. Unfortunately, this day we don't
  307. 11:48have a lot of extra time, so we couldn't
  308. 11:50go in and explore the museum properly,
  309. 11:53but I did want to mention it here for
  310. 11:54those that are interested because it's
  311. 11:55actually not that far from Seattle. So,
  312. 11:58definitely check it out. Instead, what
  313. 11:59we did is we visited Fort Worden State
  314. 12:02Park. So, this is part of a three-part
  315. 12:05military installation designed to
  316. 12:07protect the waters of the Pacific
  317. 12:10Northwest from ship invasions starting
  318. 12:13all the way back in the 1800s.
  319. 12:16But, also during World War I and World
  320. 12:20War II. Now, this was officially
  321. 12:22decommissioned in the 1950s and then
  322. 12:25what happened was they opened it up to
  323. 12:27the public in 1973.
  324. 12:30What's wild is that none of these three
  325. 12:32forts that were built in this area ever
  326. 12:34needed to fire a shot. So, perhaps they
  327. 12:37worked as a deterrent. And it was super
  328. 12:39cool walking around the remnants of this
  329. 12:42fort. Now, imagine here, there used to
  330. 12:45be massive guns that were designed to
  331. 12:47just blow up enemy ships out in the
  332. 12:50water.
  333. 12:51As a matter of fact, if you ever get
  334. 12:53over to Whidbey Island and Fort Casey,
  335. 12:55one of those other forts that they built
  336. 12:57to protect this stuff, they do have one
  337. 12:59of those massive guns still sitting
  338. 13:01there. But, the whole thing is open to
  339. 13:03the public and you can just go and
  340. 13:05explore all these dark underground rooms
  341. 13:07and corridors. It's a total trip. Also,
  342. 13:11a couple movies were shot here including
  343. 13:13An Officer and a Gentleman as well as
  344. 13:15some of the scenes from the 2002 film
  345. 13:18The Ring. But, that's pretty much it for
  346. 13:20the first day and we're ending it in
  347. 13:21Port Townsend. The next morning we get
  348. 13:24up and Paul is going to rush back to
  349. 13:26Seattle for a day and I'm going to
  350. 13:28continue this road trip, and then we're
  351. 13:29going to meet up in another day. So,
  352. 13:32dude, where are you going?
  353. 13:33>> We have tickets to see the women's
  354. 13:34national soccer team play.
  355. 13:36>> Okay.
  356. 13:36>> And it happened to fall right on the
  357. 13:38same week that you decided to schedule
  358. 13:39this thing, so I'm going to haul ass
  359. 13:41back home,
  360. 13:43uh meet up with Z, go to the game, and
  361. 13:44then I'll haul ass and meet you back in
  362. 13:46Ocean Shores.
  363. 13:47>> So, right now, I'm going to drive from
  364. 13:49Port Townsend to Port Angeles, and that
  365. 13:52is about an hour drive, and as we go
  366. 13:55along here, you can tell that the
  367. 13:57weather is starting to get gloomier and
  368. 13:59rainier as we approach that massive
  369. 14:02rainforest. Port Angeles is a cute
  370. 14:05little town with about 20,000 people,
  371. 14:08and it has a really nice waterfront. It
  372. 14:10has a bunch of the small mom-and-pop
  373. 14:12shops. There's also a little arcade
  374. 14:15there. of people will stay here on their
  375. 14:17way to the Olympic National Park.
  376. 14:19However, it's a little early in the
  377. 14:21year, and it's mostly snow up that
  378. 14:24direction. So, I'm really just going to
  379. 14:26be passing through, but I did want to
  380. 14:28explore it a little bit, so I went down
  381. 14:29to the waterfront, and the first thing I
  382. 14:31saw was this. Is this a small-town
  383. 14:34thing? I don't know what it is, but I
  384. 14:36love seeing these community libraries,
  385. 14:38where locals will bring, you know, books
  386. 14:42there, you borrow books from it,
  387. 14:44everyone kind of shares books. I thought
  388. 14:46that's so cool. There's a Coast Guard
  389. 14:48station way out on this narrow piece of
  390. 14:51land. So, you drive through this paper
  391. 14:53mill, and then out to the middle of the
  392. 14:57water, and you park your car and can
  393. 14:59just hang out. It looks like a favorite
  394. 15:02place for birds like seagulls to kind of
  395. 15:04hang out.
  396. 15:05And as you can see, it's kind of a
  397. 15:06gloomy sort of day, but also still just
  398. 15:09gorgeous out here. I was told a lot of
  399. 15:11people like living in Port Angeles
  400. 15:13because it has a relatively low cost of
  401. 15:15living. It has low crime rates, plus
  402. 15:18it's, you know, kind of a temperate
  403. 15:20climate. It doesn't get too hot or too
  404. 15:22cold. and as you can see, it's just got
  405. 15:24a lot of natural beauty. So, I'm really
  406. 15:26glad I stopped through here. It was
  407. 15:27definitely a nice little time. I had
  408. 15:29some lunch, but now it's on to Forks.
  409. 15:34And Forks might sound familiar if you
  410. 15:36have seen the Twilight movies. That is
  411. 15:39the the book series and also the movies
  412. 15:41that kind of put the town of Forks on
  413. 15:44the map. This was a really fun drive
  414. 15:47because along the way the highway snakes
  415. 15:49beside this massive lake called Lake
  416. 15:51Crescent. And the roads were super
  417. 15:54twisty. I mean, again, just really fun
  418. 15:56to drive. Although,
  419. 15:58as you can see by this footage, it's
  420. 15:59also starting to get extremely wet,
  421. 16:02right? And so, I'm taking it a bit
  422. 16:04slower than I might otherwise. I will
  423. 16:08say that I'm also very thankful that I
  424. 16:09got new front tires before I went on
  425. 16:12this trip because I am definitely using
  426. 16:15all that grip on these roads with that
  427. 16:18weather.
  428. 16:21>> [music]
  429. 16:28[music]
  430. 16:31>> I arrive in Forks, and immediately you
  431. 16:33are greeted to a couple shops that have
  432. 16:35all the Twilight merchandise you would
  433. 16:38ever want. You have Twilight cups,
  434. 16:40stickers, t-shirts, action figures,
  435. 16:43posters, you name it.
  436. 16:46They have a bunch of Twilight stuff for
  437. 16:48all the fans here. I did notice that the
  438. 16:50town also really focuses on promoting
  439. 16:52Sasquatch or Bigfoot, too. I would say
  440. 16:55about half of the stores really focus on
  441. 16:57that instead of just Twilight. I would
  442. 17:00assume it probably has something to do
  443. 17:02with the popularity of those movies and
  444. 17:04books waning, right? Cuz it's been a
  445. 17:06while since they've come out. And I
  446. 17:08assume you probably don't need to
  447. 17:10license, you know, Sasquatch or Bigfoot
  448. 17:12stuff. So, who knows, but yeah, that's
  449. 17:15their two big things here, Twilight and
  450. 17:18Bigfoot. Now, I should probably say
  451. 17:19that's not the actual reason why I'm
  452. 17:21coming here, although I have seen the
  453. 17:22movies, but I'm actually staying the
  454. 17:24night about 20 minutes from Forks in La
  455. 17:27Push called Quileute Oceanside Resort.
  456. 17:31This is a Native American reservation
  457. 17:33owned and operated by the Quileute
  458. 17:35tribe, and the room I got,
  459. 17:37check this out. It's just a few feet
  460. 17:40from the ocean.
  461. 17:41This is the reason why I wanted to come
  462. 17:43here because I saw photos of it and I
  463. 17:45was like, "Oh, man. This looks
  464. 17:47stunning." So, and it's funny because
  465. 17:49again, even though it's windy and
  466. 17:51raining, the view is absolutely
  467. 17:54stunning. It's It's a bummer that Paul
  468. 17:56isn't here to also enjoy this. What's
  469. 17:59cool is that my room on the walls has
  470. 18:01these old photographs of the original
  471. 18:03tribe members using this exact same spot
  472. 18:08decades ago, maybe like 100 years ago or
  473. 18:10something. I don't know what the age of
  474. 18:12these photos are,
  475. 18:14but it's both very surreal and also very
  476. 18:16cool to look at these and then look
  477. 18:19outside my window. It gives me the sense
  478. 18:21that this place is very special and
  479. 18:23should be protected for future
  480. 18:25generations, right? The other thing I
  481. 18:27thought was pretty cool, but also you
  482. 18:29should be aware if you're going to stay
  483. 18:30here is that they don't have any
  484. 18:31televisions in here and no Wi-Fi.
  485. 18:35Which again, not a problem for me
  486. 18:37because I'm happy to just hang out here
  487. 18:39and enjoy it for a night, but yeah,
  488. 18:41that's something you don't typically
  489. 18:43find in hotels, right?
  490. 18:52It's day three, Wednesday, and the
  491. 18:54weather is looking promising today. I
  492. 18:57plan on heading into the Olympic
  493. 18:59National Forest and specifically the Hoh
  494. 19:02Visitor Center. And the drive into the
  495. 19:05park was very fun. It's twisty, it's
  496. 19:08turny, you go up hills, you go down
  497. 19:09hills. You can't go very fast, and it
  498. 19:11starts giving you a preview as to what
  499. 19:14you're going to experience. I've lived
  500. 19:16my entire life in the Pacific Northwest,
  501. 19:19and I've seen my share of thick, heavy
  502. 19:22forest in Washington state, right?
  503. 19:25But, I'll be honest. Nothing quite like
  504. 19:28this.
  505. 19:29The Olympic National Park was created in
  506. 19:311938 and has two goals. The first one is
  507. 19:34to preserve this example of a primeval
  508. 19:37forest.
  509. 19:39And the second goal is to provide
  510. 19:41permanent protection for all the elk
  511. 19:44that live here.
  512. 19:45Now, what makes this particular park and
  513. 19:47rainforest unique is that it has fairly
  514. 19:49mild winters and also cool summers. But,
  515. 19:52get this.
  516. 19:54It gets up to 12 ft of rain every year.
  517. 19:58Let me say that again.
  518. 20:00Every year, it gets 12 ft of rain.
  519. 20:04Crazy, right?
  520. 20:06And you can totally tell, right? Because
  521. 20:07I'm getting partially sunny skies, but
  522. 20:09also there's this constant light
  523. 20:12sprinkle [music] of rain also happening.
  524. 20:15There are several hikes that you can do
  525. 20:16on this side of the Hoh entrance from,
  526. 20:19you know, longer and more difficult ones
  527. 20:20to short and easy. I chose the most
  528. 20:22popular one, which is called the Hall of
  529. 20:25Mosses.
  530. 20:26It's about a mile long, and it takes you
  531. 20:28through these thick groves of
  532. 20:30moss-covered forest. It's It's quite
  533. 20:33amazing and stunning, as you can see
  534. 20:35from this footage. And that 12 ft of
  535. 20:38annual rain creates these long strands
  536. 20:40of moss that pretty much are everywhere
  537. 20:43that you look.
  538. 20:44But, beyond that, it's also cool to see
  539. 20:46these large-growth trees that have
  540. 20:48collapsed over the decades that are just
  541. 20:51slowly decaying, but also creating new
  542. 20:54life around them.
  543. 20:56I especially love finding these trees
  544. 20:58that have all their roots exposed from
  545. 21:00all the decades of the weather just
  546. 21:02beating on them. Again, it's kind of
  547. 21:04creepy, but also really cool-looking,
  548. 21:06right?
  549. 21:08Honestly, I could have spent several
  550. 21:09hours just wandering through this today.
  551. 21:12Oh man, again, not disappointed. So glad
  552. 21:16that I came here, and if you make it out
  553. 21:18this direction, you definitely want to
  554. 21:20visit the the rainforest. It's it's
  555. 21:22quite mind-blowing.
  556. 21:25And so with that guys, is the end of
  557. 21:26part one of our epic road trip over to
  558. 21:29the Olympic Peninsula. Coming up in part
  559. 21:31two, we will meet back up with Drunken
  560. 21:33Master Paul in Ocean Shores, and we're
  561. 21:35going to take his bin chicken out on the
  562. 21:37beach and act like a couple of
  563. 21:39teenagers. We'll visit Aberdeen, which
  564. 21:42is the home of Kurt Cobain and the
  565. 21:44museum dedicated to his life and music.
  566. 21:47We're also going to hit up a couple of
  567. 21:49video game stores along the way to
  568. 21:50Olympia. And in the next video, I'll
  569. 21:53share with you all the goodies we picked
  570. 21:55up along the way. We'll see you in part
  571. 21:58two, and thanks for watching.
