"Got the inch worm outta the car. Now I gotta make a really wide turn so I don't run it over" Caring for an organism like that is the sign of a truly good person. Rock on brother.
We have an abandoned hwy. But it runs into a side of a hill. I don't think I would buy a mental hospital for a house. Too much bad energy left behind. Thanks for sharing
Very interesting but what a waste of tax payers💲💲💲 on those bridges which are in super condition considering how long they have been constructed. That house has some super architectural elements to it.
The other element to bridge deterioration comes from the vibration of vehicles. The load capacity of semi trailers have gone up so much since the 70's, it's really putting a beating on our roads much faster than what was planned for back then.
@@helensarkisian7491 It's this very attitude of his, toward, really everything, that makes us ride or die, Posties. His parents did a lot RIGHT! He's a genuinely good kid. 💯👍👏👏👏👏😎
Just drove down there today! Went under the two overpasses for the first time this afternoon. The abandoned mix master in Farmington is really cool too!
@@n1ksf I believe you’re correct. It’s a hard place to visit without getting caught but you can still get a good view of the abandoned area while driving over the active part of the highway.
I looked up Dr. Wagner. The house was built in 1852, the home of Alfred H. Gildersleeve, who operated an ice house there. Dr. Wagner bought the house in 1938 and used it for a hospital.
A prime example of money wasting. Thanks for taking us down the old highway. Loved that old building. It has character. Stupid drivers are everywhere. I see them everyday. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for showing places I would never get to see or go or think of trying to go. I love your off road trips and more. Keep doing more of them and old vacant homes and buildings. 🤗👍🤗👍
California Glendale 2 freeway ends with a stub freeway that will never be completed as does the Long Beach 710 freeway. Thanks for exploring on our behalf! You need a mountain bike
That was a really beautiful building, and I like these random exploration videos. You just show us things that we would likely never see on our own, without any agenda, and that is refreshing these days.
That architecture is very nice and ornate, the arches especially seem to have a middle eastern look about them. Would be interesting to see inside, maybe another time.
I think it’s great that these videos are local and even within reach. I enjoy other ones too but this is my “backyard” as I live in central Ct. excellent work Post 10. Thank you!!
The grounds keeper should get a lock picking set from the LockPickingLawyer. It's pretty much like a universal key when it comes to opening masterlock.
It's so refreshing to see things that aren't covered in graffiti. Your appreciation for things is so contagious - I feel happier every time I watch one of your videos. It makes me want to go out and do a little exploring myself.
What a gorgeous building! Your videos have been an adventure while lockdown has been going on, I especially love seeing videos in Maine, it's as beautiful as my Nanna says it is, I'd love to visit from England one day ❤
Is it possible to hike on foot beyond the bridge to the rock cuts? I'm guessing not or you probably would've done it. I'd love to see what the excavated/blasted out valleys look like with no roads and just left to become overgrown.
I really love your interests. I think you're the only channel I watch that has the same interests as me. Abandoned things, nature, vintage things, etc. I love it
I love your videos on abandoned things and the way you evaluate things. I have explored a few abandoned railway tracks in Switzerland, but only have one video onmy channel from an old paper factory siding in a place called Zwingen. If you're ever here, I could give you a few inside tips (I'm a train driver). Thanks for your videos.
We had an abandoned highway near me when I was a kid. Really just unfinished, but it sat for 20-30 years. It had drains, overpasses, dividers. Fully-finished, but ended abruptly. It was finally finished (connected) around 2001.
Post....you gotta ride the Hadlyme Ferry! I love this area of CT and call it my home.....the fewer people know about it the better lol. A nice retreat from CT standard of I-84, I-91, and I-95 traffic. The houses and land are (were) affordable and the people are nice.
I tried two different types of - cameras from Walmart both of them were horrible so now I use an old cell phone with a large memory card if nothing exciting happens when I get home I delete the video
Elmcrest hospital. I had a few childhood friends that were admitted there. Portland's a beautiful little town. Elmcrest though? Not so much. And rt11? Fantastic place for high speed runs, barely any curves for its entire length. The fastest I've ever driven was on that highway.
I'm sure it involves abusive Doctors and staff. And archaic therapies. I'm so glad that doesn't happen anymore. Not as much anyway. There will always be sickos that get pleasure from torturing people that can't defend themselves. I shutter at the thought. 😥
Post you really need to get into metal detecting. You are in prime area for it. I had a blast when I lived in Buffalo Ny and was detecting. The silver and gold was awesome but the relics from the war of 1812 were the best
Surprised they gave you a hard time about the I84/CT9 stack. Been a while since I've been there but also seen lots of previous videos about it. The unused flyover ramps for what would've extended north are completely safe and deserted so I don't know what they're afraid of. 🤔
Neat to see that highway, The mental hospital shut down because of too many deaths due to improper choke holds. Elsewhere on YT you can see stories of the bigger ugly building’s blue room. Horrific memories. Some things you just don’t want to know. Those mafia blocks are representing the amount of red tape holding that property from being developed. Pound for pound. There have been many different plans presented but the ref tape has stopped them all so far. Elmcrest is the name of it
Reminds me of County line rd, also called Hwy 72, it ends east of the community of triana, similarly the state ran out of money to build a bridge over the tennessee river, was gonna be a 4 lane road but after crossing hwy 72 alt or int 565 and the nearby airport becomes a 2 lane rd
Half of them are unused. The ramps from Route 9 North are used to get onto I-84. The highway (beltway) around Hartford was canceled in the 1970s so the ramps heading to north of the bridge are unused.
I live in Connecticut and have no idea where you were. None. I would like to add the Connecticut is known for bridges falling so you really were very trusting to go over not just one but two abandoned bridges. I was a little scared.
What is it with Connecticut and Poison Ivy? My Grandmother's yard in North Stonington was covered in the stuff. That house was beautiful, I would have guessed it was older than 1967.
Connecticut has a highway maintenance building right off the road that runs under the over passes, I don’t think they ripped any storm grates out of that road, I think they use that area as kind of a catch all for concrete and dirty fill, I think those storm grates are from elsewhere
Outside of Chicago.....we have a similar deal....the Highway is called the Elgin-O'Hare...... it doesn't go to either the City of Elgin or O'hare Airport 🤦♂️💰🤔
At least CT stayed true to left hand exits! A nightmare! I’ve heard that State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers is now private homes? That is beyond scary knowing that unmarked graves dot the land!
That was pretty cool . I was a little girl in the sixties and I remember my parents taking me to ocean beach In new london. And I remember that ending of the highway.
It's a bridge that leads into the center median of a highway and it would require more bridges and tons of fencing to angle the animals they're making it essentially useless and if you plant grass on top of it it's going to encourage trees to grow since you know the Department of Transportation is not going to keep up with trimming it the roots are going to destroy the structure

I bet the house is like $10,000 to $50,000 rent. My house is $4,000 rent but with me working, I get enough.
Dude, I dig that you find value in life. Even a small inch worm. Good on you bro!
IKR? Takes a wide turn so he doesn’t squash a bug.
Totally speaks to his character and reminded me of why I love watching him. Love it
@@helensarkisian7491
It's this very attitude of his, toward, really everything, that makes us ride or die, Posties.
His parents did a lot RIGHT! He's a genuinely good kid. 💯👍👏👏👏👏😎
LMAO - love the airhorn story. I travel extensively - vicariously through you!
Get a dashcam for the front and one for the rear, immediately.
That would be perfect. A video montage of idiot drivers. Can't wait.
Like to see Post10 scare the hell out of some lazy girls... 😉
@@dutchman7623 Is that what they are calling it these days?
Just drove down there today! Went under the two overpasses for the first time this afternoon.
The abandoned mix master in Farmington is really cool too!
From what I'm aware, CSP uses part of the mixmaster for training purposes

Great info, thanks for taking the time to, not only look it up, but share with us, your fellow Posties. 👏👏👏👏
Post 10, unclogging drains and saving inch worms, one day at a time.
Keep up the great work!

I always tick the like button before watching the vid................. anyone else do the same ???
Yup
Absolutely!
Me too ☺️
I watch his videos over and over! I enjoy his Knowledge and enthusiasm for nature and culverts!!

POST!! I live a couple miles down the road from the end of Highway 11. Wish I’d known you’d be there. Keep up the great videos.
My heart melted when he said he would make a wide turn so as not to run over the inch worm. 🥺 I admire people who don’t harm bugs
You are so intelligent and knowledgeable! There is no WAY any government officials have you knowledge!
Those columns and fret work on that entryway are most likely cast iron. They’ll last forever if you keep paint on them. Thanks Post 10.
Beautiful, beautiful building, thank you for sharing it.💚💚
thank you for another great video. It's the only time I get to see what's out there. Stay safe God bless from a Holland MA resident.
Always interesting. Thanks for filming.
Awe, you saved the inch worm 🐛 ❣️ Let's buy all the beautiful abandoned places and bring them back to life. 🥰
You show us some of the coolest stuff. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Yards too wet so take a little adventure! Good thinking’s!!! I feel you 🙌😁
I think it’s great that these videos are local and even within reach. I enjoy other ones too but this is my “backyard” as I live in central Ct. excellent work Post 10. Thank you!!
Excellent video love it
Love the videos! Keep up the good work... and exploration!
I'd love to have your energy. The past weeks I only worked & slept.
"oh btw here's an abandoned mental hospital briefly" EXCUSE me
We need to see the inside
Ikr!! I'm dying to see what's inside that place!! Curious minds wants to know!!! 😅😂😅😂❤️
The grounds keeper should get a lock picking set from the LockPickingLawyer. It's pretty much like a universal key when it comes to opening masterlock.
Another great video 📹👏👍
Now those bridges are great safe animal crossings. Great video as usual, thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Making a wide turn so not to run over the inch worm.. that was nice.
Indeed
Ghosts : Finally, a visitor
Wouldn't go there around Halloween... 😲

The first dirt road looked spooky and ominous, it gives off a sense that a wendigo or a skinwalker would suddenly come out.
lmao
That mental hospital would make a grand museum!

Nice journey that building is beautiful.
Thanks for the explore on Govt waste. The building deserves to be saved but remember when dealing with the Govt nothing good ever happens.
love going on vacation with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for sharing so much of your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!! big post 10 FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing 📹
Glad you didn't run over that Inchworm else you would have turned it into a Flatworm.
Beautiful scenery
That building was built in 1967 and had 1800s architecture. I'm itching just looking at all that poison ivy.
The house was built in 1852, the Doctor bought it in 1938. Probably dedicated to him after his death.
I can't help but feel a certain sense of irony that this "dead-end" highway is called ConnDOT Employees Memorial Highway🤔
You absolutely amaze me with your adventures. Nice job Post 10👍
Yes the keys are jingling in the car. Also liked seeing the abandoned highway sign.
Aloha thank you! That was a nice drive! The building was so beautiful! Thank you so much! Meke Aloha nou!
The pile of locks is usually from when multiple parties access a common site.

in high school(1980s) we wouldda been having keg parties on the abandoned highways
Wonderful example of how our government works. It’s a shame all that work was done for nothing.
Plants creeping into and onto buildings looks so cool, reminds me of The Last of Us games
We had an abandoned highway near me when I was a kid. Really just unfinished, but it sat for 20-30 years. It had drains, overpasses, dividers. Fully-finished, but ended abruptly. It was finally finished (connected) around 2001.

Wow that one building looks amazing!!
Oh Post what kind of dash cam do you use? I wanna get one but not sure which one yet

Elmcrest hospital. I had a few childhood friends that were admitted there. Portland's a beautiful little town. Elmcrest though? Not so much.
And rt11? Fantastic place for high speed runs, barely any curves for its entire length. The fastest I've ever driven was on that highway.
lmao i loved that detail that they kept losing the keys to the lock and had to cut... nice .. gonna join up with paranormal investigators?!
It would make more sense if those locks were cut by trespassers rather than some demented owners of that property.
Wow, I agree, this building is in great shape. I hope it will be restored for once.
You are close to my childhood stomping grounds. I don't miss them but it's nice to see them again.
There is an unspoken history of that Hospital, No one wants to own it.
Can you elaborate? Not from the area.
I wanna know this history, please tell
I'm sure it involves abusive Doctors and staff. And archaic therapies. I'm so glad that doesn't happen anymore. Not as much anyway. There will always be sickos that get pleasure from torturing people that can't defend themselves. I shutter at the thought. 😥
Good video as usual.
Greetings from Maine.
I always wanted to walk this abandoned highway everytime i go to Groton i see it!!! maybe ill go grab those tires lol
Post you really need to get into metal detecting. You are in prime area for it. I had a blast when I lived in Buffalo Ny and was detecting. The silver and gold was awesome but the relics from the war of 1812 were the best
Thanks. I'm old enough to remember when the pavement on I40 in Oklahoma ended in the middle of nowhere before it was finished.
Love your videos bud!
Thanks for posting!!!

They're state property and they don't want people jumping off them or throwing rocks onto motorists, so yeah they're a bit sensitive to trespassers.
I alway drive by the abandoned highway when going to Rhode Island from my house in ct. Thanks for sharing always wondered what was down the road!

Those overpasses stacked up over I84 are still unused? Lots of childhood memories of those.
Half of them are unused. The ramps from Route 9 North are used to get onto I-84. The highway (beltway) around Hartford was canceled in the 1970s so the ramps heading to north of the bridge are unused.

Still wish they would fix this abandoned highway. Just a waste not to.
Looks like they are building "Brainerd Place" on that spot...hope they keep the mansion.

One thing is you had to be crazy to live there 😆
Hello Post, this could be your dream home Post, just do it. Buy Buy Buy!, it's beautiful.
That was pretty cool .
I was a little girl in the sixties and I remember my parents taking me to ocean beach In new london. And I remember that ending of the highway.
I just looked on maps the overpass/bridge is a great steel structure.
They should make the abandoned overpasses animal crossings. We are doing that in the West.
Very very interesting! I liked the video
They should put grass/soil and turn it into an animal overpass
Inchworm Bridge
It's a bridge that leads into the center median of a highway and it would require more bridges and tons of fencing to angle the animals they're making it essentially useless and if you plant grass on top of it it's going to encourage trees to grow since you know the Department of Transportation is not going to keep up with trimming it the roots are going to destroy the structure
@@post.10 True! If it doesn't connect two reasonable big nature areas it is useless to modify it.
