Hey everyone. Do you enjoy these random roadside finds? Let me know what you think of them. Make sure to check out the other guys perspectives by finding their links in the description.
I luv all your finds !!! Before I watch this would you like me to send you a 2 booklets I found? 1 is called,
'The Columbia-Philadelphia Railroad & It's Successor' By William Hasell Wilson, C.E. 1896 it's a light booklet. It's really very interesting. It's copyrighted 1985 in great condition. And I know you like trains like I do.
A friend is coming over Monday & maybe I can get her to give me a ride to the post office. It's 72 pgs long.
Also I found: 1843 History of Bucks County Pennsylvania, a little booklet, perfect condition, reproduced from the original edition, has 171 pgs but very light.
I've been really busy at the Salvation Army church & will try to catch up with your videos. Darn I've missed some live streams but it couldn't be helped. Hope you and family are doing great.👻🤘
Love them. But I like all your videos on your channel. Thank you for all you di to get us videos.
Yes!!!!!
Yep, I love these ones too JPVideos!
I enjoy these random videos .all of them.Thanks for inviting us to go along with you..
I've spotted this site along the road in the past and always wanted to venture down there.. thanks for sharing!
Nice find! Sometimes the random ones are the best ones! Get all you guys together and you all have a good time! Fun to see grown boys goofing off! 😊
Its nice to be around like minded people.
14:43! JP, I seriously can’t believe you crawled into that “hole”! I know it’s Winter, but critters and spiders!! You are braver than I, my dear friend. Thanks for boosting courage and taking us along!
Curiosity gets the best of me.
@@JPVideos81 you know what they say about that! 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱 Be careful!
WAY braver than I! I get to live this vicariously thank goodness!
@@lisak7247 thats why we do these type of things as a group. No risk, no reward.
@@JPVideos81 I guess that is why I am home watching these instead of crawling around with bugs🤣
You've found an old drinking water treatment plant. I recognize some of the structures. We have one near where I live.
You need to ask some old timers around that area what it might have been?
We asked the owner of a local cafe we stopped at and he didnt know either unfortunately.
That was fun..ended to soon...patiently waiting for the next one..Thanks again JP 😊👍
that hole reminds me of a septic tank ! no way id go in there!
Oh 💩
It's a poopoo pit...😬
Jp I would think this was a very old hydro plant. I say that because of the concrete pillars or support blocks the may have had paddle wheels style rotation that produced power to turn a large generator. The channels may have been used to control flow or it was used to divert sedidame out of the paddle wheel channel at the dam. You always have to have some way to remove sediment dealing in anything to do with surface waters. This technology was around in the 20's And 30ths.. I have 40 years exsperence in the surface water hydraulics. The man hole you went into was very modern I could tell buy the crown the mandhole cover would have fit in the crown the steps were also modern with stainless steel ladder rungs might be a up dated pit used for storm waters etc.. 60's maybe???? Just odd that it was newer than every thing else ??? Strange.
Enjoyed the video as always. Keep up the good work.
I agree with you. I too thought it was a hydro plant. There was one similar to same layout on a lake near where I grew up. The lake was a reservoir and the dam was used to power the local homes.
I was thinking something like that too. Like a mill of some kind.
I'm from nanticoke and I was told that it was saw mill for scout and Lee lumber co..its located at the end of the street and espy st
Thanks for that info
beautiful area. love your pic of the frozen lake. the only snow I see is what's on top of my frozen dinner when I takes the plastic off.
Looked like a military hideout jay. Alot of bunkers with openings and areas with some hidden doorways. That was an awesome find as always jay.
Yes jay I really enjoy this stuff. My guess is this was some kind of water filtration plant of some sort. I believe everything around it was parts of the plant.
JP what a Great find! I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming, see you in the next video!
The 12 foot well was not covered !!
That's cray cray.
Another adventure from JPViideos ....life is good : }
💙
BEAUTIFUL SCENIC PHOTOS, I SEE YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS SINCE YOU CROSSED THAT OLD WOODEN BRIDGE! GREAT VIDEO
Oh, im still scared lol.
WELL YOU DIDN'T SHOW IT..LOL
@@bellamichellejerseygirl207 i was being brave for the camera haha
That was really fun to watch. I enjoy your adventures.
😊
Awesome explore! Lots of fun to watch. Gave thumbs up as always
patiently waiting for the next one..Thanks again JP
i was screaming "noooo! don't go down there". too many horror movies, i think.
I didnt hear you lol
lol
Love these random roadside videos. I have not seen one of your videos i donot like. I have been watching back to back videos of yours. ENJOYING ALL OF THEM. And your photos are fabulous.
😊💙
Amazing to see the old concrete structures, great video JP.👍👍
Thank you
Thanks for well done, professional videos. I love history and learning about places, events that I may never get the chance to visit myself! It's fun to see you asking for input on when a site is screaming: this is a mystery site !!! And wants the mystery solved! 😉
Great find! That was funny what you said when you came out of that hole! I’d be too scared to go down there! I love videos of roadside finds!!
After watching yesterday's vlog on Concrete City, I fell down the rabbit hole of finding more information on the Concrete City and found pictures and articles related to the City. Very fascinating!
So much history and so much left to be discovered.
Where is Concrete City at?

@@michelleaugust9958 nanticoke, pa. Just search concrete city on Google maps.
I really enjoy these random roadside finds!!! Really Cool video!!! Thank you JP for taking me along!!!
My pleasure Virginia
I just can't believed such large holes, man anyone can fall in or an animal. They should have a metal cap on top. You gyes are so brave to go into those holes. I guess I am a scarry cat. You sure do a super job, but one word advice you have to be careful. Your life is worth much more.
Many thanks.
That hole too, houses in Mexico or in areas that have intermittent water flow have personal wells that look like that. They fill up when they turn the water on. They don’t go anywhere and have an access man hole just like that.
yes I love the roadside finds that you find because you never would no what you will find on things like that. And I do not no what that is.
Awesome find and fun explore! Logging on to You Tube and seeing a picture of JP sticking out of a hole in the ground is an instant thumbs up video for me! On a side note, while its 75 degrees here in North West Florida, I love watching you get out and explore while you have snow on the ground up there! SOOOOO refreshing to me!
Two of my favourite things, history and detective work :-) Amazing place. I wonder if a close by town would have some information about what this is. maybe a library, museum or town hall type place. fascinating.
We asked at a local cafe we ate lunch at, but they didnt know either.
"Look Cliff ! The plane ...the plane !!!" (Just looking at the thumb nail, reminded me of 'Fantasy Island'😉)
I really like your videos . I've had vertigo for many years , and out of all the videos like yours , you're is the easiest for me to watch . You are great ! Thank you !
Aww, thanks jenn 💙😊
I'm from central N.Y. I was wondering if you have ever heard of Happy Valley N.Y.
@@jennwinks5764 heard of. But never been to.
Great find!! I think the square foundation could have been an overflow for the dam to help with flooding. The two small concrete structures could have been small cysteines. Just my thought! I have seen similar systems in my adventures.
Looks at the thumbnail 🥺 "Oh geeze, he's stuck in a septic tank!".
💩💩
@@JPVideos81 Maybe try Goggleing whatever main body of water closest to it and ask about sewage filter plant, paper plant or something.
@@ghostcityshelton9378 its an unnamed reservoir and we asked locals at the cafe we stopped at. Havent heard from you in a while. Hope everything is ok.
Such wonderful beauty
23:22 Lol you & Cliff 😂
it's a hydro plant. there's an old one with the exact same setup and underground machine room outside of Eureka Springs Ar. that I explored a long time ago.
Just love Edith's response: Looks like a hole. Lol. I am always amazed at what you find, almost in your back yard. It's a beautiful area in winter.Famous last words: We may have to go down there. I'm smiling, JP.
Glad i made ya smile 😊
i REALLY enjoyed this video you four guys are a riot you guys are running all over exploring everything you make it interesting and fun thanks for taking me along
😁
Awesome video Bud!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!
At 10:10, that is an old air shaft/escapeway, backfilled and filled in, which served the mines of the nearby Truesdale colliery. There was one exactly like that above the old St Nick's breaker which used to be open at the bottom, going off at an angle. You could throw a rock down it and listen to it clunk and thump until it just disappeared out of earshot. SUPER deep.. This one you found was just backfilled better. YOu can see on the sides of the shaft where the metal ladder bars have been cut off with a torch or hacksaw to stop people from climbing down it. These types of shafts were used as secondary emergency exits. The one at St Nicks still had them in place.
The "hole in the ground" led to a pump regulator/flow valve wheel for that settling pond/water source nearby. They put a lot of the machinery in these Northeast collieries like the pump regulator valves underground like that to prevent them from being frozen in winter time.
Thanks for sharing
First in the video I think you had found a abanded military bunker, there is many of those in Europe. But I see in the video this had something to do with water. Good and exciting video, keep up the good work 👍
My 90 year old house has one of those... we still use it
geoffreyjones2000 what is it exactly?
@@caz7363 It's a septic tank
you might be right about railroad tracks going over those piers.. if you notice the sets of 4 bolts on each end those could be where they put the plates to put the tracks on
Love the random roadside finds. You guys are such crazy fun together. Sure keeps life interesting! :)
💙😊
Great find! Keep those coming.
Is that Bigfoot? No it's just Clifford again! Another great video.
Lol I like the thumbnail!!! Great vid J!!! It's Always fun to explore in the woods and see what you can find!
Ty nikki
I always loved romping through the woods behind our house when I was little. Always found interesting things while there. :)
I think that you are exploring the site of the former Truesdale colliery. The CNJ ran parallel to the road and the colliery was served by the EL RR (Lackawanna RR prior to 1960). The breaker burned down in the late 1960s-around 1966. My guess is that the water was used to wash the coal.
I did see the breaker on the old maps but didnt know if it was directly connected.
Maybe the dam and other structures were used to supply and direct water for the canal that ran out of Nanicoke or possibly powered a mill of some kind, like a grist mill or textile mill? Just a guess!
Hey, careful going down in vaults like that. That is defined as a confined space. The skunk smell could be H2S. People have died doing exactly what you did.
Hydrogen sulfide is typically found in mines. This was small and the opening was big enough for fresh air to come in. Pretty sure a skunk sprayed in there at some point as both sides smelled.
Tester costs as much as some of your cameras, there are no extra lives just game over; you will not know until it's to late. If this were to happen unfortunately you will probably drag others into the same fate trying to save you.
Myself and cliff own multi gas meters and you are right, they are expensive. We are aware of the dangers as we have explored several mines and caves. Safety is very important to us, but this was a very shallow hole with a manhole size opening with more than sufficient ventilation on both sides. We also don't condone or encourage others to do this. We only do it as we have experience.
@@JPVideos81 the bottles! I would have been all over those!
Ditto! Be careful going in those holes. I worked with an underground pipe videoing co. Danger Will Robinson. Bottom could fall through, gases, put your cam in first. Get a tester for bad stuff. Just be very careful. Awesome find though and I always leave with a smile 😃❗ TY
Another great video, Thank you!!
Love the video and all you guys together. Very interesting
There’s men coming out of holes everywhere 😆 great video
😂
You reminded me of the gopher in Caddyshack popping out of the hole. 🤣
😁
There's an unfound amusement park from the 1800s in that area.
Beautiful ferns around that hole. Thankyou for sharing.
wow that looks like a dug out place maybe but I bet it looks neat.
That
guy in back of ya got s it down!
Just came off lonely drive live it was awesome
I really enjoy these roadside finds and all the many many new videos. I’m having a hard time catching up on them all ! This find is certainly fun to watch as you work through what this find might be and having fun with your friends(Bigfoot) Thanks for taking us along with you.
🤗💙
we used to do this stuff all the time, ck out Somerset county, Bedford, markleton, forkston, confluence, union town, loads of places in Pa. thanks for the video, wish I were right there with you guys! Makes me miss Pennsylvania.
Cool find! I'm curious as to what this place was?
Remains a mystery, for now...
Hey ,cool find. I do think I should tell you I work for a septic company and it looks to me like you climbed into a old septic tank. All the signs of an old septic tank were shown on your video.
Great video JP already Liked n Shared to Twitter. Cant wait for the next video. :0)
😊
Very odd findings Jay but neat though, thank you for sharing this video. 🙂👍
Love the roadside find!!!
Hey allison! Thanks for checking it out.
Awesome place, J! Beautiful pictures also! Thank you for sharing your trips!
Cool find,thanks
It's an old crapper tank!lol
Sweet 👍! I love explorin' places like this JPVideos!!!!!!!!!!
You were giving ME vertigo walking up on that thin ridge!
If there was more snow all of you could of went sledding with abandon sled! You guys are always entertaining for sure!!!
😁
That is an awesome roadside find!! Thanks JP and guys
Liked this one alot
Interesting! Now I want to know what the history is of this place.
Maybe a old fish hatchery ? Where u were standind in by the walls
More interesting stuff. Love your road finds. Awesome!
The ending Lol... 😂
🙂
Good morning Jp what a really interesting place I'm new here so dont know what concrete city is but I'm about to find out. I've never explored in snow that would be interesting in itself 🙂👍
That video is uploaded before this one.
@@JPVideos81 +definitely went over and checked it out thank you
It was fun to see you and your buds have fun.
Love the random roadside finds JP!! Looks like you guys had a great time 👍🏻❤️ Gotta love Cliff the jokester!!
😁
I think they should put somthing over the whole like a steel plate
Hole*
ENJOY VIEWING THE INTERESTING PLACES YOU FIND. PLEASE DO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT THE HIDDEN SUNKEN AREAS IN THE WILDERNESS.
Brave to walk a cross that wall man oh man brave very pretty pictures
cool adventure ...
Great video.
OMFG those rabbit hole scenes, hahahaha! I nearly was afraid that you or Mike should get stuck in there or that Cliff would find out some clown :D :P
Beautiful snow scenery for me to cool down in, being that it's currently nearly 90F where I am.🇿🇦
May want to use a metal detectot around that area to see what can be found.
JP, you need some Yaktraks for these kinds of adventures. If you fell and broke a bone, we would never forgive you. ;)
JP, really enjoyed your video and all your videos! Really awesome places you find and go to.
Very interesting. I keep hearing distant gun shots like a gun range near by.
This was amazing Jay. Such a gem of a find. Every time you push yourself. Walking along the dam, descending down into concrete tanks, I thought there were snakes there. You and your buddies are quite something. Such a beautiful place. Some superb photo stills. I think this is one of my favourites. I'd love to see more like this, most definitely. 🌹💟🌹
🤗💙
COOLING POND FOR SOME BIG EQUIPMENT OR METAL / STEEL MANUFACTURER IS MY GUESS??? NOT ENOUGH WATER FLOW TO GENERATE POWER UNLESS THEY USE IT & PUMP IT BACK INTO THE LAKE. WHICH IS VERY POSSIBLE. COOL VIDEEEEEO
sweet shots
Been awhile since I caught any of your videos. Going to spend some time tomorrow trying to catch up. This video was absolutely awesome. Sparked my curiosity for sure. What a beautiful day it was and the scenery! WOW! As always thank you for taking us with you and exploring what otherwise we may never see. Be Safe, God Bless, Tell your family to from Cincinnati. 🦋😔🤗
