MYSTERIOUS HANGING BOULDER SUDDENLY FALLS THROUGH WALKWAY

Transcript

So, we're walking along this trail and I'm like, oh, look, smashed railing. And then I'm like, oh, the smashed railing from probably some falling rocks. And then there's some Mysterious Hanging Boulder sign. But I think this is the Mysterious Hanging Boulder because there's I'm pretty sure we're supposed to be walking out there and everything is all smashed. Like, there's no way to go down there. And then I think we're supposed to be walking here. And I don't know if anybody knows about this, so I think we're going to have to hop this rock onto the next boardwalk and tell them when we get to the bottom.
