It is okay not to have a specific plan when you are out exploring. You never know what you will find. And what you found was interesting! Keep wandering, Cliff.
Cliff,
Whenever I see ruins like that, especially the stone walls, I think about the enormous effort that
went into building them.
People surely were a lot tougher physically than we are today.
Could you imagine a child of that era refusing to take out the garbage" or it's equivalent?
That would be a piece of cake.:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
All done by hand of course, no power equipment back then.
Cliff you always do a good Presentation🌿
Love these kinds of finds! You just never know what will be inside!
Thanks for showing this place Woodsman. I had been curious myself about what might be found there. I appreciate your efforts and insights as always.
How fantastic for you a hole for you to go in. Lovely stonework, quite pretty for a cellar. Really enjoyed the hike so many trees, I love ‘em. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Nice leisurely hike Cliff interesting place Also Wish you and family a Happy Xmas
Great stuff
Nice walk about. Beautiful day. Try a little avocado or guacamole on your sandwich!
Most every town has places to go to walk and explore. Cattails are almost a perfect food. The "fur" makes a great anticoagulant.
I so wish I could get out that way. Really not that far, but no car so I'll live vicariously through you Cliff lol!
I love rock and stone ruins.
Hi Cliff, I used to love going to a set of woods I had not been to before and then just wander and see what I come across, it was so much fun exploring, you never knew what you would come across. A very cool adventure and that old cellar was a pretty neat find. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞
Thank you
When foliage is down - that is the time to explore
When your thumbnail said Antetium, I thought cival war area battlefield.
new name from me for woodsman, proper signage, love it Brian Happy Christmas
Nice finds! Looked like a nice day for a hike. The camera picked up pretty good inside that storage cellar. Thought I read somewhere that Antietam Lake was an ancient reservoir and now I can't find that info 😞
Neat hike and video! I know motorcycles occasionally use the no motorized vehicle trails I sometimes use but I am not sure where they came in. It could be an honest mistake. However I recently came across a trail where someone bent metal fenceposts and moved a rather large boulder just to get onto a trail barred from motorized traffic. I figured it was someone drunk and stupid because there was an easier access just to the right that would require much less effort. I don't think the trails get much foot or motorcycle traffic but it seems dangerous to take a quad or motorcycle on a trail where you might encounter mountain bikers or people with dogs. It makes a nice walk a little tense.
Cliff,
I believe that during WW2 they used cattail fluff as a filler in the "Mae-Wests" the life preservers used
to keep sailors alive if the ended up in the water through accident or mishap.
I also think yjr Native Americans ground up the root bulbs and made flour.
In the fifties I used to get "Things of Science" each month, small boxes containing items of interest.
Plants, or rocks or whatever.
It was wonderful!
Too bad there isn't something like that now, it would have been a aide to teachers like yourself.
It really nourished my lifelong interest in all things natural.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Nice trek & an overall good trail path. Lots of memories too, looks like the woods I explored in NW NJ as a kid. Many similar stone structures & iron ore mine entrances that look like that old cold cellar, too :)
great hike and a civil war site
Battle of Antietam was near Sharpsburg, MD
Great Hike Cliff, you had the place pretty much to yourself, I saw two with a white dog at 19:47 and of course the cyclist at the end. You are right the trails need better signs/markings for novices. You were too modest to say, so I'll say it, You are far more expert/experienced then most here at location/finding trails. Speaking for myself, that is very, very, true. The Antietam creek has run nearby (within 75 to 100 yards) my last home of 34 1/2 years and this one of 11 1/2 years for the last 46 total or so years.
Cliff how about a trip to the French Asylum Bradford county…..Do some reading and I think you would be willing to venture up to it
Ironically I found this cave myself for the first time last night. At 7:06 it looks like that wall could've been built to block off a path behind it. It does go up against a hill.
When you were on the Gravity Trail you were a couple of hundred yards from the Angora Fruit Farm which has a very nice pond. If you park at the Mud Catcher Trailhead, which is just up the road from where you parked, you can take the trail that follows the lake and then the creek that feeds it. That is a very scenic route that passes the Seven Step Dam which I highly recommend you visit. Also nice swimming holes along that stretch of the creek. Follow that trail to the stone-walled creek over by the Seidel Road Trailhead and the abandoned Dam. Some very interesting historical markers over there with information on the area.
Looked like a headstone at 17:50 on the left?
Does look like a headstone.
Also thinking it might be a mile marker for the Mount Penn Gravity RR.
Awesome find id live in there if its safely built
Hey woodsman, I'm somewhat a new subscriber bro your channel. First let me say I really enjoy your vid's. I watched one of your vid's the other day ,the one about the cox shelter. About the 2 murders. I am familiar with the case. Pretty sure someone else did a long story about it with actual news paper clippings and interviews. Very very sad indeed. Scary as well.
I'm moving to Bedford pa in just under a month. I was up there visiting my son last month and I was able to get in a couple small trails. I went and checked out the Davie Lewis cave and hiked a little bit of the lost turkey trail. Unfortunately I did not get to do the hot tent overnight that I wanted because I did not have my proper hiking boots on. But I am planning to go back and try again sometime in Feb when I'm back up there. At the moment I'm still in Louisiana. but I see that you are really familiar with pa. Can you recommend a trail that is not really tough and has a good place to do an overnight hot tent camp? It will be a solo. I'd appreciate any ideas you can share. Ty in advance.
Cliff you and Jon have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year🎅🎅The rock walls were built mostly by WPA & CCP
Are there two antietam creeks? The one you are exploring and the one at the Civil War battlefield?
Yes.
Civil war battle near Sharpsburg, MD
Somebody went to the trouble of putting up a fence at about 3:00. What were they trying to do and why? Any guesses?
I've been on a lot of trails where the markers don't match the maps that were made.
Don't forget...your cell phone should have a flashlight...
