Thanks for saving her.

So sad what the government did with emminant domain and all the families who lost everything and the government does nothing to protect some of this history. Glad your doing this!

I believe the 1st little stone "house" was a fort during the French and Indian War.....much like the Shapanack fort which sat behind and above the Van Campen Inn. The grave you passed over so quickly was that of Anna Symmes, mother in law of President Harrison. As far as the Van Campen Inn...the gravel visitor lot across the street was the site of their beautiful and massive barn, which was destroyed by arson...(1971) Theres also an area in the Park...between Old Mine Road and the Rosenkranz ferry spot which was a huge dude ranch owned by Tex Ritter (John's father) and was the site of some Hollywood movie scenes and also some Hollywood parties! Teddy Roosevelt and Babe Ruth used to fly fish in the Little Flatbrook and theres an old hunting dog cemetary, off the side of old mine road, off in the woods a bit....but I cant for the life of me remember exactly where. Many, many, many hours spent roaming this area since the very early 70s. Its a very special place, and I appreciate your videos very much! But I find it odd that your video title is Old Mine Road, "PA." Old Mine Rd is on the Jersey side. Across the river, in PA is Federal Road, which also runs N-S along the river, but its not nearly as cool as the Jersey side!

6:22 Clarkson University .... that's my alma mater! Yes, the pin factory has been decrepit for many years. It even had several trees growing inside the building.

As spectacular as driving through the Hawks Nest is, kayaking on the Delaware through the Hawks Nest is even better.

im sorry my friend its all a lie his story the FREEMASONS left out that the folks that built all that stuff die in the last event !!!!

I lived there 40 years ago

Nicely shot, I worked in the combo mill that has since been torn down.

My name is Eric Douglas Van Campen and I thank you dearly; for capturing and presenting this video.

Very cool. Are those bridge abutments from a trestle or car bridge?

I got married in September of 1980 in maine. We drove to the birchwoods for our honeymoon and stayed there for a week. We had a two-story cabin with a his and hers bathroom. It had a love shaped hot tub in between them.

They need to learn to look both ways.

My bestis friend 😂😂😂😂

My brother from another mother 😂😂😂😂

You are the man 😅😅😅😅

God bless you 😂😂😂

That’s not a Harley Davidson 😂😂😂

There is no better way to give homage to the Old Mine Road / Layton area while still enjoying a great day of motorcycling! My grandfather owned and raised his family on the Mettler Farm back in the 1950's.

Old Mine Road is 150 miles starts north of Kingston NY & traverses south . US209 in PA is Minisink Trail. There are 10 Historical Societies active in the area.

Peace to Bethel and to you.

I just found your channel because I’m heading to Hawks Nest midApril….and hoping to get some Astro shots from that area, so YES would love to see more of yours and what you are using. I only use a Nikon d750. No star tracker or telescope….at least for now

St lawrence

Even then it was Syracuse p, closer to water but ocean paths

At least our ny city fed me, train

It’s only because of conception that I moved. I was hungering

Protects water, like Covid

Civil,war mtg house, program. States first hospital like Covid treatment center

Govener Wittman signed an open space law: to stop runaway developers and the NY maddening crowd from gutting Sussex county.

This is not all that far from the madning crowds of New York.

Great videos... thanks! I'm curious if anyone knows.. was there two hotels.. Karamac and Farview? The main house was across the road on the river side. Right alongside the rd edge just north of the Karamac parking lot. The foundation still exists along the lane going down. . (Farview house) . I thought they were one and same.. Karamac.. Farview?

There’s a little bit of historical content here. Mostly just a boring bike ride….

66 billion finally out there for asking for . To do interstate railroad projects. That should have been done 50 years ago! I rode over this many times ! The passenger trains disappeared in Jan 1970. It took the Erie Lackawanna three years to kill the demand for the train off. After it became unprofitable in Oct 1967. That date the last of the mail and package express was put on expensive, slow trucks on the highways. The last train the Chicago Lake Cities Express was a full service mail and express train. Removing the mail and express income bankrupted the private rail system from coast to coast. Cut back underfunded Amtrak was the result. The decline was to continue , but it didn't. 1970 was a different world that is GONE. Amtrak with record ridership and demand for years was started to contain, control and discourage demand. It didn't work! Now for the first time there is money out there to expand the system. The cut everything do nothing republican controlled congress is against it and thousands of other things. Except unlimited airport, port and highway projects. We'll see if they win. I think this time they won't. This line is a interstate line, that neither Penn or Jersey will do on their own. It's the job of the Federal Government to do these interstate projects.

So glad to see that you are back. Glad that you made it through 2023. Definitely a CRAPPY year. Looking forward to your content this year. Have always loved your videos on here. Here is to a great year to come.

Sorry to hear you had a bad year, but great to see you again, you have been missed and we wish you a happy and peaceful new year.

Nice to see you back let’s pick up the pieces and move forward. Can’t wait to see your next video.

Thanks for the update, Joe. Nice to hear from you. Sky photography would be great.

I'm sorry to hear that 2023 was a bad year for you. There are few things worse than having to deal with damage to your home and weaselling insurers. I wish you a far better 2024. Your photography is excellent - by all means let's see more of it.

Really great video. Thanks so much.

Just found this videos series and wanted to say thank you for making it. Hopefully I can get out this winter and check out some of these places. One suggestion, would be great if you can add GPS coordinates in the video description to each site you explore. Would definitely making find some that are off the trails a little easier, but maybe that's half the fun.

I remember when it cost 10 cents to cross Dingman's bridge. I was in that area three years ago very near Van Campen Inn is the Military Trail which I think it is about a mile - the trail is actually an old road that goes to Walpack. The trail was over grown near Van Campen Inn and at Walpack (It is across from the old Post Office Building). The trail is significant because there is a revolutionary cemetery along this road. Thank you for the information to call Walpack Historical Society for a tour of Van Campen Inn.

These stone and cement buildings were common here in northeast PA. In my childhood many of them were still owned and lived in but in disrepair. They often had a single candle in each window all night long. What you show here is how t My area used to look in the 50s through the 70s In the 1980s wealthy people began buying up farms and building housing communities Now, all the farms and original farmhouses are gone, as are the barns and open spaces These farms had families with grandparents born around 1900 They told of their parents born in the 1860s and their grandparents born in the 1840s and great grandparents born in the 1820s. They had all worked the farm and orchards and dairy cows and their great grandparents parents had fought founded the farm in the 1700s and fought in the revolution. To have a house and barn that was built before the war and was used in the war, and to visit still working pubs and inns that were used by the founding fathers before, during and after the war, so much historical detail. And the history of the Native Americans here, and the number of ghosts seen back in the 50s through the 70s, by the families, they would see relatives who had passed on walking the fields in the early. Morning before sunrise. They could hear them walking in the house, and there were many people who would be watching TV and the big glass tube color TV, they would turn off using the remote control, when it was a brand new technology, and they would see their ancestors reflection on the TV tube, them standing behind the couch and in the doorway, and they would slowly walk away. These stories were not shared with non-family members But they were common occurances. I saw several people in my house. I most recently had purchased an old Pachinco machine that was brought back from a G. I. when he served in Vietnam. The machine was hated by the wife and he was forced to put it in the basement when his children were born. It sat there for decades laying on its back and the posts rusted falling Rust into perfect circles around the posts. I cleaned it and took it apart and repaired it and got the DC conversion kit and LED lights and it strange to life, lighting and ringing and making the iconic sound of the ball on the posts As soon as I got it working I would see an old man in old checkered clothing from the 50s sitting on my couch almost every time I walked into the kitchen. He obviously loved his machine and he was visiting it. I sold it and I didn't see him again. I imagine he went with it to the new owners. When I moved in the house I felt uneasy and I would feel someone watching me down the hall. I asked my new neighbor if someone died in my house. He said no, but before my house was here there was a previous house and the man that lived in it was quiet and solitary and sad and he died in the bedroom where the front of my house is. Exactly where I felt really uneasy. I stay out of that room in the front. It is too uncomfortable for me. I have always been like this, sensitive to the paranormal. I almost died as a baby and I think that has something to do with it.

The barn was a great find, too bad it’s in decline. There has to be a farm house foundation close by.

I've fished here, lol.....

Great!

Great video series, liked the editing and narration.

Terrific Vid.

Mighty 16-inch guns!!

Nice job on the series, I enjoyed it very much. The only thing I can say is America gives 150 billion to Ukraine, will our own history crumbles in disrepair. Good going politicians.

The first structure looks like a Springhouse.
