Thank you. I was out at the Third Welland Canal today looking for the remains of Lock 19 (which I found). There are lots of details that are visible now that winter is here. I'm surprised about the truck in Lock 18 which I see on your video. I'll have to go again and check it out. I can't imagine how it got there. It seems impossible but there it is.

Hello. Park at the Cambridge to Paris Rail Trail - Paris Trailhead off Willow Street. 43.203865°, -80.373179° 3 km hike or bike from the parking lot. Thanks for watching !

Thank you. I'm glad to hear that others appreciate the history around the area even when the remnants are few. I received another comment from another viewer that things were changing rapidly there. I appreciate that it's a bunch of old decayed concrete but the stories behind it are wonderful. Thanks for watching !

Clearly these were abandoned, had flown many many kilometers from their origin and their original owners just didn't care where they went. LOL.

This is at a remaining lock of the Third Welland Canal (1881-1932), Thorold, ON. Lat/Long: 43.143977,-79.182463 It's a great location to go for an afternoon walk and imagine the ships of the last century making their way along this route. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I took a break over the summer but plan now to explore some new places and produce more videos. If you have any leads on good explores please let me know. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the update. It's a shame that some portions can't be preserved in park form. I'll have to visit again to see what it's like today. Thanks for watching !

Thanks for watching !

Sixes. Sixes referred to the new 40 hp six cylinder engine that was in this car.

Wooden spokes which was common around that time.

It's definitely a good project car. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the information. That's really interesting ! I didn't see any debris that would link to that use. Thanks for watching!

I believe that was the foundation of a structure I came across in episode #105. Take a look and see if that's the one. Thanks for watching !

This would date to the Third Welland Canal which was constructed around 1881. Thanks for watching.

The 1930's aerial photography can be found here : experience.arcgis.com/experience/d6985c1b40ca4604bcb7f9716f15a285/page/Page-1/?draft=true Thanks for watching !

Yes, there's a great deal more history in the area than may realize. Coincidentally, I was at Jaycee park a couple of days ago to see the Third Welland canal lock at the pond and to walk over to the remnants of Lock No 4. There's lots of interesting details to look at. Thanks for watching !

It's interesting that you can still see the route of the Third Welland Canal through the city with a few traces of the canal itself. Thanks for watching !

Good saying. Thanks for watching !

Lol. Thanks for the suggestion. I usually don't have much use for a machete but that would have been the day I did.

It's possible. There are a lot of wild turkeys around the area so perhaps someone was hunting. Thanks for watching !

That's what I was going to suggest.

I've seen evidence there of mill pond (the trail runs on top of the old pond retaining wall) and i have seen a pile of bricks where a building once stood. Do you have coordinates for that building to confirm ? Thanks for watching !

@@photoghiking I think it may have been put behind a fence with a no trespassing sign recently, I'll check for sure when I'm down there next week.

Ok, the good news is that the general area appears to still be on public land. The bad news is that I can't really find it again with all the foliage, can I get back to you in 6 months?

​@@Captain_Commenter Sure thing ! Thanks for the update.

Yes there are foundations of two buildings on the north side of the gully as well as a set of stairs off the road edge on the north west side of the bridge. I show the building foundations in my videos as well. Thanks for watching.

Those locks are the abandoned locks of the Second Welland Canal. That's a great hike through there as well with some water still flowing through it. Thanks for watching !

The anchor for the canal gate hinge is quite remarkable. I previously saw a star burst like pattern in the stone of other abandoned locks but didn't understand how it worked until I saw the actual hardware in place. Thanks for watching !

Thanks for watching !

A very nice location. Too bad they haven't preserved the lock mechanisms. Thanks for watching !

Yes, the electric streetcars would cross this bridge back in the day. Thanks for watching !

Thanks for the comment. What bridge are you referring to ? The swing bridge that replaced the tunnel ? Thanks for watching !

@@photoghiking There's ruins of a large bridge in the woods near the tunnel, made from the same limestone.

​@@Captain_Commenter. Ah yes that bridge was part of road that came from thorold down the west side of the Third Welland Canal, across that bridge, and then through a tunnel under the railway line (behind the GM plant), and then under the canal using the tunnel in this video.

The east end of the tunnel has always been flooded the times I have visited and very mushy to walk on. Water continues to leak through the tunnel ceiling on that end so it'll never dry up I would think. Thanks for watching !

Railroad bridges are always a good explore. Thanks !

Another stone like it laying down and another base for a tablet by that pillar, must've went just after us. We had no snow

The day we went it was very cold. The ground was very frozen, very little mud at all. It was interesting to see the old road bridge there as well. Thanks for watching !

That pillar was likely for a grave plot to fence around it or hang a chain.

From what we understand the families had to pay to have the graves relocated. I'm sure some did some DIY to get it done. Not surprised there are remains still there. Thanks !

You couldn't tell it was a ship except from the drone. Thanks !

I would imagine that a good portion of the tunnel is now flooded as it was leaking when it was in service. Thanks for watching !

@photoghiking yes I agree, I visited the blueghost tunnel.itself last month and the end is still flooded. I don't remember it never being flooded. I miss the old dirtbiking days back there lol

Water is continuously leaking into blue ghost tunnel from the ceiling as well. It's no wonder that the east end of the tunnel is always flooded. Thanks for the great comments !

I'm sure that vehicle has been down there a long time. Thanks for watching !

Thanks for watching !

Yes that's exactly what this driver did. Thanks for watching!

Same that happened to me too

​@@photoghikinghi I never bed pined pls pin I sub

yup happened to me too the first month i got my license. people are scary

It's a great country road that is fun to drive but I have to be cautious. There's always deer, coyotes or some animal (or bird) running across in front of me. Thanks for watching !

Thanks for the information and watching !

Thanks for the info and thanks for watching.

I recall reading that access became an issue. Thanks for watching and providing the information.

Yes. They're moving around a lot this spring. Thanks for watching !

There are frequently deer in the area at that time in the morning so I am usually looking for them. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching !

Yes you are correct. There appears to be some kind of vehicle near the gates on the other end of the lock. All that's left is the frame, rear end and engine. Thanks for watching !

This beach is so tranquil and relaxing. Thanks for watching !

Near Niagara Falls. Thanks for watching !

Yes it is. I expected a zombie to pop out behind every corner. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much 😊

Beautiful creatures. Thanks for watching.
