to be going walking hopefully getting into old town scottsdale heard a lot about and uh we're
starting here at uh a restaurant that has huge i mean huge medieval doors here you can see the
cars going past on camelback road there so you can get an idea for how tall these are probably
30 35 feet and they go all the way around here with huge stimming this is not like fake this is
heavy duty steel look at that that is ridiculous pretty cool and that's an advertising piece oh
look there's a mirror there's a mirror right there oh wow really creepy yeah that's how they're
advertising for uh pf changs so advertising works guys anyways thanks for joining me today guys
i will be uploading this video with some nomad internet link below in the video description in
case you need some mobile unlimited internet come on with me let's go hang out in scottsdale today
i've got tater tot parked down the road a bit so i don't want to get too far away from the
car but it's a beautiful day here today we're going to cross this bridge over here i'm also
looking for a good idea for a place to eat some late lunch early dinner um i don't know this area
sure somebody watching this video from scottsdale is like eric you gotta go here i wish i could
hear you wish i could hear you right now but i believe we've got the uh scottsdale
canal here it's a really pretty area look at these palm trees guys
and we just walked across this bridge that has these big almost like smoke stacks from a ship
pretty cool looking what a beautiful day and again 74 degrees today i feel like that that mid
70s temperature is just the going rate in phoenix in january man i love it also want to point out i
don't want to get too far ahead of myself but many people notice the last two videos i'm gonna come a
little closer here that i've got some white hairs some gray and white hair showing up in the bottom
of my beard here you wouldn't notice that unless i'm growing out my beard and it's too soon to say
i've done this four times before i said i'm gonna grow up my beer i only make it 60 days all four
times i only made it to the two month mark and then i trimmed it back down well we're about three
weeks into the new year not shaving not trimming except for my mush my mustache lip line i'm gonna
see how long i make it once again growing out the beard okay so that's where we're at yes white gray
hairs i'm 40. it's too soon for that but i'm gonna sport it oh look at that flashy sign of
scottsdale it's got like tags that are flickering the sunlight that's nice that's awesome what a
nice day by the way this trail that runs along the canal this little cool walking trail biking trail
18 miles along the canal so uh really nice for people on bikes i miss my e-bike just just a
little bit all right across the street we got the drunk monk tiki bar in restaurant they don't open
until 3 p.m though still got a couple hours so i am gonna go check out the scottsdale trading
post here see if i can get a scottsdale magnet in here no dice in there but i asked and he was super
helpful it told me which business to go to here so here we are arriving at coca-peli southwest
gifts you can go check this place out yeah they have some magnets that one says scottsdale on it
wow there's a lot to choose from here i'll give back to you doesn't say scottsdale on it but it's
an arizona magnet and i really like it all right should we wait for the tiki bar to open up over
there or should we go check out the pizza here at crisp they are open i think i'm gonna wait a
little bit longer that tiki bar looks really cool look at this big chocolate bar though
oh here we go covid testing done right here the media will show you lines out the door
and they're all out of tests there's literally nobody here literally so yeah i'll tell you not
watching the news this month has really made me a a healthier happier person and i'm going to
continue this well on into 2022 um news i'm back on social media a little bit because that's how i
connect with my family on facebook and instagram patreon youtube are kind of part of my job so
you know like anyway i'm back to social media but the news the media screw it all right they
got a psychic across the street here i don't need no psychic i just need a zoltar machine
yeah all right they officially open in 15 minutes let's see if i can get a seat and see if they're
see if they're ready yet all right i like the theming i love this door let's go get checked
in here i want to sit outside if i can i love the thing look at the drink menu it's made out of wood
how cool is that oh that's great oh my god here all right got my drink order i ordered the uh
flour goddess here oh my gosh that looks great with the tiki and everything flour goddess has um
bacardi silver pineapple cranberry and sweet and sour don't worry about me i'm walking today so
throw it on the ground gosh that's delicious
this atmosphere is so awesome guys a few other people have joined us here as they just opened
and i got my food i ordered the kahuna steak with mashed potatoes and i guess they put some
decorations in there some green decorations in there changing things up a little bit for the
first time in my life i ordered my steak medium well if you know me you know i always go well
so medium well on this steak here let's try it out also these mashed potatoes are supposed to be
garlic mashed potatoes okay and the steak is in teriyaki sauce oh my god ground oh my god
i've never had steak in teriyaki sauce
that is freaking delicious all right this steak is ridiculously delicious they're doing happy
hour right now so all their 12 drinks are six dollars so i got the banana hammock there and
this is bacardi silver bacardi banana coconut cream and pineapple juice all right up my alley
oh my gosh the ground is going to get really dirty with everything i'm throwing on it this
is like a adult dole whip almost the coconut is a little more powerful than the pineapple though
delicious these garlic mashed potatoes with the decorations
green decorations
that was some incredibly awesome food i will have to remember to put some teriyaki sauce on my steak
next time even though that was a pure 100 calorie free meal let's go walk it off anyway a lot of a
lot of water here in arizona a lot of water and while beautiful flowing water might not
be something that arizona is well known for out here in the desert we have this read along with me
arizona falls yes the arizona falls it's on google maps it's a real thing
there's the plaque waterworks at arizona falls 2003. by the way this is not the end of that bike
walking trail that i was talking about apparently it continues on a little bit farther south also
um oh i guess there is water falling right there
arizona oh
wow wow i wonder if there's a better time of year to see the falls working
because it's awfully quiet around here uh in fact it's almost all dried up over there
okay down here on the lower deck is what i'm smelling okay there is a horrible stench down here
that is nasty not nasty nasty see the driplets of water
right there that is uh again some water falling off the edge there not a whole lot
but technically yeah stand back see it it's the the back side of the arizona falls here and uh
yeah i did i clicked on some google pictures when i saw it there's some weird stuff in the
water i need my magnet anyway i clicked on some pictures when i saw it on google
i'll pop that up because that's what i was seeing when i was walking over here but um
a little a little different here in january okay
all right maybe maybe january is not the time to visit the famous arizona falls
still a long walk back to tater tots so we'll get this over with and then go check in on those
kitties before we we leave the phoenix area i missed you kitties there you go tara there you go
but you guys traded spots today you don't think people notice huh you traded spots look you're
drinking out of the boy dish look you're drinking out of the girl dish yeah my arizona magnet
is pretty darn cool i really like that one but i actually um found another one just on the way
out actually and this is great because i loved old town scottsdale so much that i found this
awesome wallet looking magnet it actually opens up like in normal leather wallet wood and it's
made of leather and it says old town scottsdale on the front of the wallet and it's a magnet so
that one i actually really really like very weird magnets i don't like standard magnets i don't like
anything normal i like stuff that's really really really weird and that is a weird magnet yeah so
got new neighbors over here a uh cedar creek fifth wheel over there that's cool oh my gosh
i cannot believe how much fun phoenix has been i'm not usually a big city guy and if you think
of all these other little cities next to phoenix phoenix is a huge city i think things would be
totally different if i didn't have tater tot it's incredible how much that car has changed my life
now the motorcycle is great black of course i miss black betty but and the motorcycle actually would
have worked really well here but with my chances of finding rain and cold weather or extremely hot
weather you know the car has climate control heated seats air conditioning cruise control i
mean um yeah i i don't think it would have been the same if i were here doing this same type of
thing say six seven years ago without it without a tow vehicle you know so from here i will greatly
greatly miss phoenix but um it's time it's time to make some changes so we'll get on the road
and we're heading west once again uh so anyway uh tara and nope and i will see you in the next video
guys thanks for joining me and uh look forward to getting back to to boondocking out there bye guys
you
