This series has been an incredible service to PA's history. To think that these ruins have been sitting there, unused and mostly forgotten for 150 years. I hope that your videos will bring increased interest and the preservation of these works.....and I also hope that you get some credit for that.
Well done! Thanks for your persistence, Cliff.
How fantastic was that. You found it. Awful stuff you had to trudge thru. Those foundations were a great treat. There was some lovely birdsong too. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
Adapt, Improvise and Overcome!! Well done, Cliff!
Yay you found it! Thanks fer taking us along. Great finds😊
Congratulations! Glad you were able to complete your mission. Your hard work and determination paid off!
Congratulations on the findings! You did a great job busting thru all that vegetation. I could of never had done what you did in this video. Great job Cliff!
I am so happy for you. If you want something bad enough, nothing should stop you from getting it. I bet a shower felt heavenly after that. Safe travels as always ❤❤❤❤
I was the one who originally told you that the lock was further south but I got my directions crossed up. I was confused about where you went into the woods on your first attempt and which direction you went. I lived in Hummelstown and I’ve explored all around the Swatty and the remnants of the canal in that area. I’m glad you found it though!
Thank u for going out and getting me there ty Steve
I liked it when you used to hide channel stickers and coffee mugs. Did you just get bored with it? You did accomplish getting people to get off their duffs and go hiking, looking for a hidden treasure! 😊Thank You, Cliff. I also love the videos you record with the mother and daughter on a nice peaceful hike.❤
Bidenflation Silly ! Coffee Mug$ & $tickers are too expensive now- with Biden's economic policies. Trump 2024 ❤ 🇺🇸. Get Our Country Back
That's cool you went back. It didn't seem as rough going out this time.
That looks so cool to see in person. I love the history videos like the French and indian War delaware Canal and the Union Canal series
awsome
I been to that park so many times and never knew that history was hiding there.
Cliff, your determined stubbornness paid off today, big time!!
You and Kevin Salisbury bring back some wonderful youthful adventures! Thanks!
Good work!!!!!😊
Good job! Never give up❤
So glad you found it!!! Bravo to your perseverance! Very cool to see the foundation and the storage area. Cheers!!!👍👍👏🏼👏🏼
Whoa! Way to go! That cool storage room was among the best things you've found on this project!
Cliff, after you complete the Union Canal series, which I enjoyed, any chance of doing the Schuylkill Navigation Company since you're a Berks county guy! I live in Boston but spent the first eighteen years of my life growing up in Maidencreek Township until I joined the Navy and ended up in Boston in 1970 after returning from Vietnam. I really enjoy your channel. I used to spent a lot of time in my youth in the Port Clinton area hunting behind the Blue Mountain Academy and state game lands. Also jumping off the rock into the Schuylkill in Hamburg.
I'm surprised after leaving the armed services you could afford to live in a state with such high taxes. Did you move in with a wife who had a good job? Or did you move in with family? There's no way a sailor even in 1970 could afford to buy a house in Boston. Did you come from a wealthy family and have a big savings before you joined the navy? You remind me of the characters in Seinfeld and friends I could never understand how kramer could afford to live in New York when he never had a job and could never understand how the characters in friends had such massive apartments when the majority of them all had part time jobs.
@@Wearespurstv I was discharged in September 1972. I married my girlfriend who I met at the enlisted men's club (EM Club,) who was a student nurse in June of 72. I was stationed at the US Naval Hospital Chelsea, Massachusetts. She graudated that year and got a job at one of the local hospitals. I got the GI bill and went to Northeastern University. We had a small apartment in Revere, Mass. I graduated in September of 1976 with a degree in Medical Imaging, Ultrasound and Radiology. I got my first job starting up the Ultrasound Department in one of the local Hospitals. Between our two salaries we manged to save 10k and put down our down payment on our house in Peabody, MA that cost $34,000 in 1976, and still live there after putting on a 2nd floor addition turning it into a Colonial from a ranch. We had two children, boy and girl and now have four grandchildren ages 6-15. I became a partner in a medical imaging company along with 15 physicians and myself. I was the President and we performed OB/GYN ultrasounds along with Breast Mammography. We sold the business to one of the local area hospitals. We both retired in 2016. Still very physically active mountain biking, hiking etc. My younger sister still lives just outside of Kutztown and we'll be traveling down to visit in October. I hope that answers any more doubts you have concerning why I chose to say. Taxes were higher but so were salaries.
Susquehanna & Tidewater canal is next on the agenda.
Thanks Cliff!
very exciting hike!
Telling U it's there, when it's not. They yanking your chain & trying to get you on a wild goose chase ! 😂👊
Bush whacking would not be for me. Too fearful of ticks and poison ivy. I stay on the trail! I appreciate your effort on our behalf. Thanks.
Great find good for you .
Great job Cliff, determination wins the day! How close would you estimate you came to lock 32 on your last attempt? In any case, thanks for another great video.
Perhaps 500 feet, but I headed in the opposite direction.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Glad for you that your persistence paid off, and there turned out to be some cool stuff there like the remains of the basement of the house. Love this series, seeing what is left of the history and all the work that went into creating it. Safe travels!
Good job!!!
Cool nice find
Persistent for sure. Bush whacking at its best.👍
Toughen up & wear your jeans next time ! What would Daniel Boone say ? ! 😂
Did anyway else hear bigfoot lol 8:46
Always step up on a log and out away when in snake territory
when was that built like the 182os
yep
why can't a Groupe of people get together and raise some money and stabilize and clear the ruins and put some signage up, maybe a friends groupe for the park
I was thinking a boy scout looking for his Eagle project.
@@jayforkner2692 Great idea!
