 I'll show you what it means once we get into the spring area. As you can see, the water is as clear as drinking water, but essentially that's what it is. It's coming down to the spring, so it's 99.8% pure spring water. The temperature of the river is a constant 72 degrees. The spring is 26 degrees. Oh, that's so many materials you've done there. It's live rock. That's how the river got its name. It suddenly shines on it, kind of using a silvery appearance. The spring got its name in the spring of Starry because of all the movie stars that have been here over the years. Movie productions. As far back as 1916, they were here doing a movie called The Seven Swans. Since we've had many celebrities here doing all our part of their TV or movie productions, there's some bofin down there under Bluegill. I'm going to bring the boat over three statues that looked over movie props for an old TV show from the 60s called I Spy. They're eight feet tall man in a fiberglass and weighted down with concrete. They're statues of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. It used to be as many as 12 of them, but the movie studio took all the other ones out and left these three behind as an attraction. I kind of went up a tour, got to get you back over here to the docking area. Yep. That was fun. Hi baby. Hi. I'll help you. There's a gator talking to the cameraman. I wish I had a regular camera to get a better zoom. She's a gator, honey. Hurry. Having a good time? Pretty cool, huh? Yeah. Nature's cool. There he goes. Say bye to the gator. Bye gator. Bye gator. Have a good time. Go swim. That's our boat captain. Yep. That's our captain. That's our captain in the boat we were on. Yep. Right there. What's wrong? Hi baby. Hi. What are you going on about? We're at Silver Springs. Right. And the state took over Silver Springs a few years back. And they have totally wrecked it. They wrecked it? Yeah. It's a mess. Okay. What are you so mad about? Well, there used to be a gift store here, and they've taken all the animals, the wild animals out. This one right here? Yeah. That one right there. This used to be a gift store? Yeah. What's in it now? Nothing. Not a damn thing, huh? And it's empty and all a mess, and they could make it nice. And the animals used to be over in here? Yeah. In that area? Yeah. All in here, and they had the safari thing out here, and it's all gone. Yes, it is, huh? Because the state took it over. The water park's gone? Yeah. Well, it's still there, but it's shut down. Yeah, they finally shut it down. Shaber's going to try to get in it for you. Yeah. They shut it down this year because they didn't want to re-sign a contract because it ended. Yeah. All because of the state. Yeah. And now there's nothing. The only thing left is the glass bottom boats, right? Yeah. The glass bottom boats. But they can't stop you since it's a spring. They can't stop you from boating back in here. Nope, they can't. So what are we going to do next weekend? We're going to go in. We're going to go down, and we're going to come in here and have fun in the summer springs. Yeah, well, we're by the boat. Yeah, we're going to bring our boat in here, aren't we? Yes, we are. All right, well, I'm going to get some pictures of this, baby. Thanks for your little interview. You're welcome. If you think anything, well, I'm still filming, holler at us. All right. Bye, baby. Bye. So anyway, I remember this building. She remembers it too being like a gift shop, but I remember some things about this. But the thing I remember the most, guys, is the glass bottom boats, and they're still here. And I do remember the animals and stuff. And I can remember some of this as well. You can see upstairs there, this big ass building, sitting here going to shit. They're not even maintaining it. It's ridiculous. What a place. But, monkey, she's really irritated and really mad about this. And I can't blame her. Especially if the state took over, that's government. That's kind of like our money. We had to pay $31 to get in here for a boat ride. And the rest, there's nothing else to see except just to walk around and see the pavilions and stuff. There's no animals, no more. No entertainment. And this is what we get to see now. And I feel that any government-owned attraction like this should be free to the day in public, the taxpayers, who we actually, the government, stole this from the private owners that used to own it. I mean, they fought and fought and fought. And, well, they got it. And guess what? And that's what you're looking at. A whole bunch of nothing. The gardens, the rock garden. There's no water in there where the pond used to be. Just a few rocks. It's all overgrown. It's just, it's bullshit. I don't know if this will pick up anything inside or not. No. Too dirty. Let me see. Let me cover the light up here. Maybe, maybe that will help. It's my finger. I'm trying to cover the light so they can see something. I like it so. So anyway, this is kind of sad, though. Ain't it, Mom? Very angry. I used to come here as a child. I think the first time I was about eight years old. Was you? I was 13. Yeah, came to Florida and we were going to Disney. And this was our adventure on our way to Disney. Last time I was here, I was 19. Was it 1988? Yeah. It was the last time I was here. Wow. It's really strange. I'm very angry, yes. She doesn't get upset too much, guys. But when she does, it's something serious. It's not just hogwash. No, people need to do something about it. Yeah, I mean, as a government, we should be able to stand up together and go, hey, we're not going to let this happen. Let's bring this stuff back. Oh, yeah, imagine all the jobs they took away because of this. Those old turnstiles. We'll throw some pictures of that he went with, babe. And look, it just, look at all this. They just got this junk sitting here. Just crappy stuff. I mean, come on. Mr. President, please do something about this. I got faith in you, man. I mean, look at this. This ain't right, man. Government don't have money to pay for this. Go through the turnstile, babe. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. She likes that. All right. She liked it. I need to get one in for a bedroom. That might be fun. All right, guys, we'll show you more. I'm going to try to get over there and maybe get some, even some outside shots, at least of the park. So the water, the old water park. See what I can do for you. But thanks for watching, guys. Bye. Bye, monkey. You're wet. Oh, yeah, I got wet. Got in the rain, huh? Yeah. Did you get the Sandy Monkeys? No, but I heard them. You heard the monkeys, huh? I heard the monkeys. Sandy Gators? Oh, yeah, we saw Gators. Four Gators, huh? Yeah, four Gators. All right. Well, here's the park, the water park thing. All right. Hey, wish me luck. I might go over here somewhere. I'll come back later. Why? I don't want to get in trouble. Checks me when you're ready. So, sour springs, camera. You can see, but there goes monkey down through there. Let me shut this light off here. We've got the light off. Anyway, monkey's going down through there. Trying to get some of this for you. I won't be able to get in, but I'll shut down. I got a side view of this from the road. I don't know how good it turned out, but... I mean, what a shame, right? No trespassing. All right. Well, we just won't go past it, but I'll get you a couple pictures of what I can here. State park boundary. So, not allowed inside there, but I can go like this. I don't know what all you can see, guys. I'm sorry, but there's another one. There's the tunnel as he came out in, right there. Oh, sorry, that's all I got for you, but another one of our little adventures to Silver Springs. Isn't that cool, though? Oops, fogging up. Too much fog, guys. Hope that's fogging, not a ghost chasing me. Ha! Wait a minute. I would like that, wouldn't I? So, anyway, there's where they used to take your... where you used to pay. Let me... hang on. There, did that help? She sent me over there. I'm going to text her and tell her to come and get me now, guys. Thanks for watching. We've been looking for some old houses for you guys. But anyway, we're going to go... and this will be a two-parter. This part will be on one, and then the second part, stay tuned for it. It's going to be of us in our own boat, going up the Silver Springs, the actual springs in our own boat, and kind of coming out this direction, and we'll show you the... oh, and we're going to get a GoPro so I can get you some underwater video. It's going to be really cool. So, guys, stay tuned for part two of Silver Springs, Monkey's Adventure at Silver Springs. All right, guys. Hey, you know what? Thanks for watching, everybody. I appreciate everything. We'll chat at you soon. Bye-bye. Well, here comes Monkey coming to get me. She's waving at us. So, there she is. As soon as I shut the camera off, man, I heard some monkeys chattering in the trees, even if I see him, I doubt if you could. But anyway, here she is to come rescue me. No jail for Shade Bearer today. Phew, thank God. All right. Thanks for picking us up. You're welcome, baby. We was in that little building right there. Yeah, what's in there? Well, not much left. There's a camera in there. But anyway, we watched you pulling around that way. Oh, cool. Yeah, so. All right. Tell everybody bye and we'll see them on part two of Monkey Silver Springs Adventures.
