look at this little prick what's going on everyone eric here from
nomadic fanatic hope you guys are doing well from sunny arizona doing something
a little different today we're gonna start our day and head up see that that rock off in the
distance called hole in the rock there's people actually up inside the hole in the rock up there
i am here in the uh phoenix area and stick around to the end of the video if you want
to find out what exactly i'm doing here in phoenix something fell through i'm making the most of it
putting on a happy face i'm gonna have fun here in phoenix anyway but uh anyway let's uh go climb
up this hole up here thanks for joining me guys we'll be uploading this video with some nomad
internet link below in the video description if you need some mobile unlimited internet
nice little walking trail with some what do you call them switchbacks to get up to the
top up there uh if you're wondering why i'm wearing all the seahawk garb here well let
well first let me be straight uh the seahawks have had a very very crummy year but i am not
uh only a fan when they're winning uh i'm uh i'm born and raised in washington state
so i've been a seahawks fan my whole life i'm a texas transplant but i did
grow up in washington state i got my bachelor degree at a washington state college and uh
they're gonna do better next year this is the first year in quite some time that they've had
a losing record under 500 but today it for me is sunday january 9th the seahawks are in town today
for the last regular season game they're playing the arizona cardinals here in glendale arizona
and this is the seahawks last game hopefully i'm going to be beating up with a long time
nomad friend later and we're both gonna root on the seahawks here in arizona is that dangerous
well we'll just see how it goes may i also just point out the amazing weather here in arizona
this is a much different weather and climate than quartzsite and yuma here in phoenix beautiful just
75 degrees in mid-january are you kidding me this is fantastic i made the shed a layer later
i'm probably gonna be using the air conditioner later in the rv i'm serious but more on that later
right now we're gonna we're gonna put on my hiking shoes and we're gonna head up to the top here
i'm a little out of shape but we are gonna try to make it up to the top here so i can have a view
of this rock up here and see what's going on up here at the top
definitely out of breath though the last shape here all right i am uh
halfway up here a little closer seriously you're telling me there's a parking lot halfway up
okay we're getting close look at this poor saguaro cactus
it has not weathered well here in this area people may have damaged it i don't know but
we're close to the rock now okay so how do you get up there i don't see anybody walking up and down
my abilities at the moment i wasn't talking to you siri um then we go up the side here there's
people coming down the hill it might be a back entrance to the hole all right the camera is
not deceiving you this is pretty much straight up hill and this is not wheelchair accessible by any
um but yeah we're gonna make it oh my gosh almost there almost there if my seahawks work half this
hard in the game today it's gonna be a win it's gonna be a win we're getting there guys
anybody else ever been to arches national park where you go through the arch very
very similar feel beautiful area up here in arizona oh man look at this
little hole right there that's not the one we saw when we were down there though must have to
go a little bit farther around the side actually this is the entrance so when we parked the car
down there we're in here how cool is this let's go down here in the sun peak look at this view
rj how you doing
all right so this is the cave this is the view made it to the top uh tater tot is way over in
that lot way over there so all right nobody's bugging me too much about all my seahawks gear
here in arizona but we'll see we made it let's head on back down it's always fun
meeting subscribers those subscribers are from florida so they're at the other corner
did you try again why does she always think i'm talking to her quiet down siri they're from
florida i'm from washington state we just happened to meet here at the top of this hole in the rock
in the arizona so i'm still here in the same place i guess they call it papago park or papago
and they have a little designated fishing area here with palm trees all around the shore got the
phoenix airport right over there with some planes going overhead but really really pretty park
just abundance of palm trees everywhere so you know those make me happy let's finish this loop
around the park all right and then lastly here at the very top of the park we've got hunt's
tomb looks like a like a pyramid up there i guess he was a famous he was a famous governor okay but
born in missouri the old walrus he's got the the walrus mustache going on there and he wanted to
have his burial site here in the park so we'll go look at the pyramid all right there's the pyramid
it's pretty big i would say it's 25 feet tall um a strange sight in the desert we're not in egypt
but yeah here's more of the view from the top over here and then down there at the
lake pond that we were just at the fishing lake and over there is the hole in the rock
that's phoenix just talked with carolyn she has uh she has uh picked out and secured a uh
seahawks safe bar sports bar to watch the game not that i'm not afraid actually i think it'd be
fun to piss off some cardinals fans but anyway i'm gonna start heading that way because the
game starts in less than an hour yeah that air conditioning feels fantastic here in tater tot
it's a one way and they got the speed bumps right here but tater tot fits
in the bike lane temporarily to avoid the speed bumps oh yeah smart car for the win
i feel like i planned this really well but there's no traffic here on this side of town
and that's mostly because everything is crazy over in glendale on the west half of the city
because the game because there's so many fans over there so but anyway there's not too bad
crowds here on this side of town and that was kind of smart all right they're having a dance-off of
sorts behind me in case you hear some music but one more strange sight here in tempe
another pyramid uh it's it's actually an upside down pyramid this is the tempe municipal building
um but this pyramid building was built this way for a very specific reason the reason they did it
is so that no office floor has direct sunshine sunlight in the summertime that makes sense
i mean right now i can physically see sun on the side because it's so low but
in the summer time nobody has direct sunshine so it's comfortable when it's you know 125
degrees here yeah all right gonna find a place to park tater tot and then uh we'll
go check out the seahawks game all right tater tot you sit tight we are here at
fiber mcgees yeah fiber mcgees let's go see if carolyn's in here just yet oh they got
old irish whiskey brewery brewery of the month cool all right we're here at favor mcgee's big
screen over there lots of seahawks fans and we got ron and caravan carolyn here love the
jerseys guys we're gonna enjoy some uh food and some beverages and some winning seahawks see
all right well i'm trying their uh fish and chips here and uh the score is tied at seven seven
carolyn's over there munching do on some french fries no tater haters
third and ten in the red zone come on russell you know it's time to pass it
yeah this is a passing play right here come on russell
at least get a first down come on oh my gosh what's he doing
first down yes yes we'll take it first down all right all right we're tied
24-24 fourth quarter third and goal time for some seahawks magic here
such a wonderful last game of the season defeat there by my boys in blue seahawks basically it was
a meaningless game for the seahawks you know being out of the playoffs but you know we did kind of
change the position of where the arizona cardinals would go into the playoffs so it's kind of just a
smack in the face and say hey there's still more seahawks fan and fans in in arizona than actually
arizona there's a lot a lot of washington state transplants that have come to arizona to retire
or just to snowbird this time of year so it makes sense you can look at the stadium it's
literally all seahawks fans in the stadium too but anyway um we're probably gonna be enemies next
year but that that was fun that was a really good time it was really really nice to catch
up with carolyn and see ron again um it's been a crazy day though i do want to get inside and hang
out with those kitties and tell you well i'll tell you right now i'm at a place where i have
electric hookups for free but i'm not going to tell you where i'm at because
it's top secret and my friend amber over at story chasing told me about this one and i don't want
anybody else to ruin it because i'm probably gonna be back this is a great
centrally located spot here in phoenix what kitties what oh you have a meow now
did you finally grow into your meow opie you did well that's good news but what do you mean
yeah but there was food in the bowls when i left the it's gone it disappeared tara should i fix it
tara opi should i make it better you guys want some oh you do you both want sums okay let's give
opie sums here we go terrell put yours over here territory even though he's gonna come steal yours
when he finishes his because he's a putts with the butts and she's another putts with the butts we're
all puttses with buttses is it pretty good then missed you guys all right so how much do i really
want to say about what has gone on in the last couple days here in arizona not a whole lot um
the reason i don't want to get into it is because it's about another bus
i have some friends who have had some wonderful experiences here in the phoenix area um i just
simply did not experience the same kind of atmosphere when i went to look for my bus
between you and me things were not as described over the phone and my price point was
not welcome and literally the only reason i came to phoenix was to buy that bus the
bus that we had talked about on the phone which i did not buy i don't have that bus
i'm making the most of it um it turns out i actually really really like phoenix a lot
there's mesa there's so i'm going to stay here a couple nights and that's what then another
reason why i'm not going to tell you exactly where i'm at right now but i have tater tots to
scoot around again miranda's plugged in for air conditioning it's going to get into the mid to
upper 70s the next couple days in january so um i am just going to make the most of being over here
anyway and then we'll head back to quartzite um here at the end of the week sound good all
right guys take her easy from tara and opie and i we will see in the next video bye guys
you
