Gettin' there.
Leftovers.
Muscles.
Oh, there's a fueling.
It's fueling the uh...
You alright?
Ha ha ha ha.
This episode of Adventure Prone is sponsored by Iron and Air magazine.
So we are wandering around, apparently, some Bristlecone Pines,
which I thought we missed because I thought they were like in the Great Basin National Park in Nevada,
but just passed that sign there, so apparently it's also an area where they grow, I guess.
I don't know, are these them? Is that one?
It's the oldest living thing.
One of the oldest living things.
In the world.
In the world.
But uh, some of them are as old as like 5,000 years or something,
which is, I don't know, kind of unfathomable for a living thing.
So, you know, being the avid hikers and the adoresment that we are,
we're gonna walk like at least 100 yards down this trail.
Hopefully get a uh...
Well, I guess we're hoping to encounter a scenic vista.
As you can see, this is your high valley.
So, you know, on camera, it just sort of looks like you're looking at a postcard and, you know,
probably doesn't look that meaningful, but that's pretty cool.
So, I'm guessing these are the bristlecone pines.
This one's probably like 5,000 years.
Those are like 2,000, you know, a couple...
Yeah, you can tell from the bristles.
In my time as a biologist, you know,
you ate a lot of plants.
You know, we harvested the bristlecone pines for their wisdom in regards to mormons.
Because they're the only living organism that can put up with a ridiculous religion.
And there goes our Mormon viewer base.
All 12 of them.
All 12 of the Mormons.
Hey!
We're sitting off to the side of the road in awfully temperate Arizona,
because we actually just got rained on and right off the side of the road
and threw out some rain gear and...
But we're trying to make it to the Grand Canyon, but the storm just seems to be following us.
And, of all places, Arizona.
You can't get too much more fucking scenic than a goddamn rainbow
over the goddamn Grand Canyon.
Let's go.
We'll pay $12 to get in here.
George, you want to do some quick math on how many miles $12 you take us?
140.
Wow, dude.
Grand Canyon. I'm really glad I came out here.
That really makes me appreciate the wondrous nature of
water cutting through rock over a long period of time.
Our first two takes had too much profanity.
It's true. We've worked cursing a lot.
The cursing really like the jalapeños of language.
It really adds something.
It doesn't really make sense to drive out here on motorcycles
and not come to the Grand Canyon.
George has been here before. I've not.
That's cool, but I've seen so much fucking scenery.
Scenery's great.
They're like, what do you do with it?
I can't touch it.
It won't have sex with me.
There's going to be another view on it or something.
I feel like we're doing it at a disservice by looking at one vantage point.
Is it littering if it's biodegradable?
It's quite the view.
I'm going to crawl up there too now.
I've got a handful of kettle, dude.
I've got a camera and some fucking potato chips.
Throw the camera.
I'm going to put this down for a second.
It's really fertile that shit in the way out.
I thought you wish you could see this in America.
I'm going to go to the Grand Canyon.
I'm going to the Grand Canyon.
