  • I wanna comment on how cool your video was. Very detailed and informative. Me and friends used to visit this after late night parties; around 2am lol. Luckily we didn't get tickets for parking where you mentioned not to park at! We only went up to about the 19 min mark though, since it was so dark. Is the treasure still there? lol.

  • @TheSmartin2 First time I went, it was after a party...we heard scary stories of this place, so we were freaked out...our group got to the first turn and turned around and ran back LoL its fascinated me ever since =) i'm going on March 2nd at night to see if the treasure is still there =)

  • is it still for grabs?

  • @1000asses I went Jan 28th, it was muddy as hell but it was still there, I should've put more $ LoL

  • Great video. Thanks for taking the time.
