Jetboat Exploration Of The Potomac And Shenandoah Rivers At Harper's Ferry West Virginia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Harpers Ferry is a National Historical park located at the confluence of The Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. In this video, I jetboat up the Potomac from the Point of Rocks, Maryland, to the base of the falls at Dam Number Three just past Harpers Ferry; the dam feeds the historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which parallels the Potomac River for approximately 180 miles. On the journey, I saw wildlife and cruised through some Class III rapids. I also traveled up the Shenandoah River to a point where the rocks became too shallow and numerous to continue.
As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of outdoor adventure, metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed. I keep my UA-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

Cool ride Chigg
At 9:00 in the video where the stone pillars are in the river it seems like a good place to metal detect and look for artifacts. People could have been standing on top of the bridge and thrown stuff off in the old days down river with the current.
Loved it...
Man, I love living a larger life by watching what you do. Some day I'll get out there...
@@radrob4403 He's done snorkling right in that area. It is National Park (No detecting)
Thanks for the ride while I'm still "kicking". I always appreciate a ride on the Potomac in the Jetboat with my favorite UA-camr!
Thanks so much for the donation!
My pop was a WWII combat veteran. I think the only time he felt truly free of his memories was when he was flying down the Potomac river in his beat-up bass boat. He used to take me for rides. It was awesome!
Thank you for the lovely boat ride. The sky looked so beautiful against the greens of the trees. Definitely beautiful country over there.
I always enjoy it when you take us for a ride in the Jetboat! You get lots of grins per mile with that ride. I'd never see so much of the Potomac without your videos. Thanks as always, Beau.
I loved visiting Harper’s Ferry. So much history!
11:20 Samquinch sunbathing behind you on a rock!!!
Awesome video! Chigg is a good driver!
I remember you and that rabied beaver! Scary! You scare me Chig, with you flying down that river! I bet your wife gets 'chilled' watching you! LOL..Be safe!
That's the beaver who hates two legged birch trees 😂... Truthfully , I can be thankful that the medical world has developed a way to treat rabies effectively....We would be missing you terrible 😔... I too have had an encounter with an insane beaver!!!! Her name is Jannell.... she was not in the mood for getting along with ni...🤕 Ah love 😘,!!!!
I’ve been in a jet boat fishing the Susquehanna River for smallmouth and being able to go where propellers can’t is a big plus. Thanks for the ride along and for taking us by the scene of your attack. I don’t know anyone who’s been tackled and mauled by a rabied beaver while hunting and lived, except you. Looking forward to PawPaw munching season in Aug/Sept. Happy hunting.
Just love that river corvette of yours. Always appreciate the ride. Be well.
Thanks Chigg, love ya....
And yeeees i remember the video of that beaver. Crazy.
Lastly, when you do decide to fish, please include it..
Thanks buddy.
I did but forgot my hat cam. Caught a bunch.
I remember u years ago and u seem so much more happier now nice to see i hope life is going in a good direction much love ❤
Thanks.
Appreciate the personal protective vest!
Beautiful scenery
Wow! That is one little bad ass boat Chigg. What a blast that thing has be. That thing really scoots. 👍 Thanks for the great video.
Це моя мрія: лодка, металошукач, вудочка та вільний час!!!
Сподіваюся, ваше бажання здійсниться. Слава Україні
That was so cool Chigg , loved it. Family use to go around there back in the sixties. What a beautiful day and adventure, thank you. 👍
I love that boat. That thing can go anywhere
Awesome a Chigg-otomac boat ride. 👍👍👍
Looks like a lot of fun!
Chig, I was running that video like a nascar "Crank it up" sooo cool! You know i love that boat!! Do it buddy, Rk.
"Beaver bite hole"...Ha ha ha! Chigg, there are times that you amaze me......Lead on!!
Now I wanna jet boat!
I so want to be on that river. I love the water
Good evening sir. Awesome getting to ride with you. Almost fell off the couch when we got in the rapids! Lol Enjoyed every minute of it!
Sweet little boat!
I appreciate when you explain the history of the area
Beautiful! I used to live in Maryland and always enjoyed going down to the Potomac to hike the the old C&O Canal Towpath. Also enjoyed visiting Harper’s Ferry and hiking in that area, too. Lovely part of the country.
I think that deer had a surprise when the Chig showed up!
Really beautiful there
Maybe an idea to throw a hand winch, a couple D rings, and a couple straps in the boat, and you could rig something up to pull it out if you run aground near trees.
That's cool
Confluence, good word. Beautiful area there.
It takes experience and good eye sight to read the river going at light speed. Been paddling white water for 50+
Thanks again for the Boat ride I Loved it, Thanks Chigg.
the Beaver Bite Hole , sounds like a Name For A Sleazy bar : )
the large islands of trees by the bridge @4:48 are old foundations of a bridge that stonewall jackson blew up during the civil war. I camped near here on the fourth of july about a decade ago, harpers ferry is probably my favorite place on the entire eastern united states, lots of history
"That's where I got bit in the butt by a beaver!" love it
Awesome Ride!😎
You are my spirit animal ☺️
I’ve lived in WV my entire life and I’m pretty sure you’ve explored more of my home state than I ever have.
Love your boat, Chigg! Harper's Ferry is so nice. I bet there is some good fishing there. Thanks for sharing.
I live near(ish) you by the Potomac, every time I see your jet boat videos I keep saying to myself "I gotta get me one of those!"
I remember that video!
GREAT SHOE! 👍
Goid stuff chig
Thanks for the ride Chigg it's really awesome too e able too go through at that speed. I remember the beaver when it bit your bum and you having the jab!!😎🐓🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧🇺🇦
I remember... it was a jerk.
Thanks shareing! Enjoyed watching.
Thanks for watching
Chigg McQueen!
More like Chick Hicks… Kachigga, Kachigga!🤣
Just going between those rocks would make me nervous
Thanks for the ride
Another good one chigg👍🇺🇲
If I'm not mistaken, the beaver attack site is marked with a plaque and listed in the registry of historical places !
11:28 fish jump behind you . Great vid
Always love to see a new chig video, looking great chig when you coming back to the UK 🎉
Beautiful views along the river -- have never seen that area from that perspective! Hey -- get one of those real strong 'magnet fishing' magnets and 'troll' it behind your jetboat along the river and see what you get!
Excellent side adventure to your normal great treasure hunting videos. I suspect the views on the beaver bite video are about to go up....made me look it up.. somehow in my many hours of binging your content I missed that one.👍👍👍
Hahaha what an awesome video chig, thanks!
Man IL love it its a break from hunting
11:26 The Loch Ness Monster right behind you Chig!!!
Your crazy but i like you
Thanks Man🤝😁
6 minutes of boat riding and nothing else, enjoy
Harper's Ferry is a famous place!
Suzanne: I saw a fish jump behind you when you were talking to us.
Beautiful river tour.
27th like, good friday evening, chigg
'Evening
@@aquachigger love your videos
Thanks
@@aquachigger your welcome
Didn't have to hold my breath, but I do get motion-sickness
The very parts of the river I used to frequent... My Dad was a Dutch diplomat in the 90s while living in Bethesda, MD. I paddled the mentioned parts of the river, in canoe and kayak, many-a-time. Good times!
Out here in Oakland, we have the Pacific, and San Francisco Bay, but we don’t have rivers or creeks like this. I, of course, look at the land and can easily see large numbers of men in uniforms. Did those men, 160-some years ago see those woods and the rocks in the river? Yep.
Damn beavers
Get u sum!!
Chigg is literally driving one of those Ukrainian "Sea Baby" things LOL
Flat out down rock debris filled rivers without checking the lay of the land is a recipie for disaster. Rolling that dice brother 🤔🙏🏻
Man I would love to have one those jet boats to go up the Guyandotte
theres needs to be a historic plaque at the bite site 😊😅🤣
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
As always loved the video did you catch any fish on the way back
I did, but forgot my hat cam.
CHIG, Funny you mention having to get Rabbi shots, in 1968 I was sleeping in a tent and, my buddies dog kicked up a couple rats that were under a shed well, the rats ran up the tent and fell through the canvas that was rotted,, and, landed on my face & one rat had bite me real bad went to the Dr. where they cultured the wound to find out the rat’s were rabid and, had to receive some 12 shots in my stomach remember that well it was not pleasant.!!
I’m curious about the rabid beaver. Can I see this episode? That sounds like something that would happen to me 👍😎👍Happy Trials 🇺🇸
Just Google "rabid beaver"
Dont Tell My Wife I Have Ben Playing In The Water.
I think a Harpers ferry quarter on Wednesday lol
One of the islands there used to have an amusement park on it
Now I have to go look-up River Rat jet boats. lol
We dumped a canoe in that shallow section years ago. Nice trip Chig!
Lose any gear? ;)
@@aquachigger just a few empty beer cans The girl on the bow of the old Grumman just wouldn’t paddle!
Wow a Grumman they don’t make boats like that anymore! Have a 12’ Grumman John boat with a old 8hp evinrude, my little skinny ass on it will keep up with bass boats
Harpers Ferry ... watch out for falling troll trains.
Only a matter of time before you cut a hole thru the bottom. I bet there's areas you get thru with 4 inchs of water.
Was that a bobcat or mountain lion running across just before you had to put the emergency brakes on?
Where’s the ferry in Harper’s Ferry?
SAFETY CUNCIL SAYS THAT YOU Should get a PFD that will keep you alive in an emergency or if you get knocked out and ejected from your watercraft
Have you ever found anything civil war or revolutionary war related in the river near harpers ferry? I need to visit Harpers ferry at some point.
ahh lol its not funny , but I do remember the rabid beaver video, I thought that looked familiar lol
Hi Chig, you keep mentioning Harper's valley and I can remember a song from the early 60s about the Harper's valley PTA. Is this the same place, and do you know why they sang about it? JMK FROM THE UK 👌👍
Nah, it's not.
0:02 -- Bigfoot!!!
Do log jams by the bridge pylons get cleared up or are they left for the next flood?
Hey Chigg, were you in Monterey Virginia last week, this past Saturday to be exact, the 8th I believe it was? I saw somebody in a green dodge pickup truck and the guy looked like you. I wanted to come over to say something but didn’t. I was down that way to visit a family member, it was a beautiful area. If that was or wasn’t you please let me know. I’m curious if it was you.
Nah, wasn't me this time. I drive a green F-350. But if you do see me, say hello. I'd like that.
I'm sure you have told this before. How fast does it go with just you in it?
Speedometer says 50, but I don't know how accurate it is.
How fast will it go
How far can you travel on a tank of gas ?
beaver bite hole .
How fast can you get that boat going WOT on flat water?
